The Middle East should be more properly a European problem than it is ours.
Trump has asked them to kick in more to NATO. Now he wants NATO to take a more active role in the Middle East. In other words, he wants the EU to pony up for its energy instead of making us safeguard European domestic stability on our dime. As I mentioned before, we really don't need Middle Eastern oil like we used to, but Europe would be crippled without it and they would additionally be at Russia's mercy entirely.

All we have to do is leave and the whole mess is dropped right in Europe's lap.
Time to PAY UP, B*****S!

Saudi has been sold weapons for decades. They haven’t shown up with terrorists as far as I can tell.

Well he did let his daughter intern with Harvey Weinstein, so there's that.
Ok, then “dumbest” wins out.

Flu is kicking a lot of butts this year. POTUS is still human so he’s likely under the weather.
The price of oil went down after President Trump’s speech this morning in response to Iran’s retaliatory air strike against two Iraq military bases where U.S. troops are housed.
The speech also had a converse effect on stocks as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit highs, Reuters reports. Additionally, the Dow Jones saw an uptick of nearly 200 points.
