The Great Mideast Peace Deal between Israel, U.A.E., and Bahrain

It really is nothing more than a deal between Trump and Netanyahu to help Trump with the election. BeBe wants to pay his pal back for moving the capital to Jerusalem. They were not "warring" parties, as were Egypt and Israel before the Camp David Accord.

Bahrain is a large US Navy base. The UAE is a wealthy country with close ties to Saudi Arabia and the Crown Prince, the Butcher, and is best buds with Kushner and Trump. They have been promised several new F-35's to make the deal.

It's not really much more than that, from my perspective.

Bahrain put down an uprising during the “Arab spring” with arms and fighter planes from the US and saudis.

This is nothing more than shoring up future arms deals to continue the various brutal internal and external policies

What armed conflict did it end?

I heard on MSNBC that Trump already had digital ads running that he's solved all the Mideast problems, so vote for MEEEEEEE!

Undoing Trump's deals with our enemies will take one hell of a foreign policy team.

I don't doubt Biden's already forming that team.

As you said, it has nothing to do with peace.

I do not think this moves one vote. It certainly is not going to impress American Jews, the majority of whom think Netanyahu belongs in prison.

As for Trump voters, who wouldn't be able to find Bahrain nor the U.A.E. on a map is you paid them a million dollars, they are already Trump voters. As are the Evangelicals with their Armageddon fascination of Israel.
