The Middle East should be left alone to resolve their own collective regional conflicts and chart their own collective destiny. Western interventions and involvement based on strategic and economic interests has been an unmitigated disaster.
That said, Iran is emerging as the most destabilizing factor in the region and will have to be confronted accordingly, and soon.

President Trump has co-ordinated with the Crown Princes as key regional allies. To what end?

right, got it......let's have Russia and China have all the influence they want to, in those "regional conflicts", while America sits back and isolates themselves from the rest of the world...yeah, great plan....apparently you do not know how the real world works.
Naturally leftist clowns on Twitter see the flash of the lure and take the hook, line, and sinker.

It's not up to the USA, Russia, China or any other powers who wins influence over the region, or particular countries/interests in the region.
These are sovereign countries, they should be left alone, respected as such, they aren't children. We've done enough damage in the region already. We are not there to resolve conflicts we are there to protect strategic and economic interests, and as such we are a huge part of the problem.

President Donald Trump is About to Change the Middle East Forever

USA and its zionist rulers are the most destabilizing factor in the region and the world.
All this comes hot on the heels of leaked audio which confirmed news reports from two weeks ago that Russian contractors had tested the United States military- and paid the price.
"Our guys were going to commandeer an oil refinery, and the Yankees were holding it ... We got our f--- asses beat rough.... There was no foot soldiers [on the American side]; they simply f--- our convoy with artillery."
This corroborates the initial battle reports released on the 16th of February. Apparently, the squadrons referred to are the T-55 and T-72 tanks that are utilized by both Syrian forces and the Russian mercenaries.
"U.S. counter-attack in Syria included Air Force AC-130 gunships, F-15s, F-22s, Army Apache helicopter gunships and Marine Corps artillery killing 100 Russian and Assad-backed fighters in 3-hour battle beginning around midnight last night."
"First of all, the bombers attacked, and then they cleaned up using Apaches," a Cossack paramilitary leader told Reuters.
The Russians know now -for the first time in Putin's long political career- that the US is no longer a walkover. Without a single infantryman, the United States Marine Corps and the USAF inflicted around 300 Russian dead for no losses. For some reason, this hasn't hit the front pages of every newspaper in America. Perhaps due to the ongoing gun control chatter and the conveniently timed announcement of President Trump's re-election campaign, there aren't column inches to spare for this minor engagement.
