Will Kuwait Be the Next Country to Sign the Abraham Accords With Israel? White House Announces Surprise Meeting
Chanel Rion of OAN (@ChanelRion) reported:
BREAKING: White House announces surprise meeting with Head of State from Kuwait, 11:45am EST. Followed by Press Briefing from President Trump.Now, there wasn't any announcement of Kuwait joining the Accords. Trump gave a medal to him, the Legion of Merit, which is conferred by the president only on foreign heads of state. The reason for the medal is suggestive: It's for seeking a peace deal with Qatar.
resident Donald Trump has bestowed a top U.S. honor on Kuwait's ruling emir, who has played a central role in resolving a yearslong four-nation boycott of Qatar and is now ill and receiving treatment in the U.S., the White House said Friday. Trump awarded the Legion of Merit to Kuwait’s Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, who, along with Oman, has sought dialog to end the dispute that has torn apart the Gulf Cooperation Council. Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been part of the boycott that’s targeted fellow GCC member Qatar since June 2017. Egypt also joined the boycott, which saw nations close their airspace and borders to Qatar. "A leader in the Middle East for decades, the emir has been a truly unwavering friend and partner to the United States," the White House said in a statement. "The emir is also an unparalleled diplomat, having served as his nation's foreign minister for 40 years. His tireless mediation of disputes in the Middle East has bridged divides under the most challenging circumstances."Maybe it's a coincidence that he's praising him for "bridging divides" and "mediating disputes" in the Middle East just as the Accords were signed, and Trump suggested that "five or six" others might sign on. Maybe it's not a coincidence. Maybe the medal was given to provide a plausible cover for a visit to the White House that the emir doesn't want the public to know about yet. Speaking of the Abraham Accords: Jeffrey Goldberg, editor of the leftwing rag The Atlantic and the guy we're supposed to believe regarding the absurd claims about Trump insulting dead soldiers from World War One, poor-mouthed the accords, which Obamabots do not like because they firm up the anti-Iran alliance and the Obamabots want to make Iran the regional hegemon, for reasons that they've never been able to -- or perhaps, willing to -- explain. He then says the Accords are a win for "authoritarians," such as Trump and Binyamin Netanyahu, but a loss for Iran and the Palestinian Authority, which are, apparently, not authoritarian governments. Who knew?!

Call that the "Palestine First" plan -- a plan which has not worked for seventy fucking years. Trump attempted the "Palestine Last" plan -- get peace deals with other Arab countries first. Those deals will dry up Palestine's terrorist donation pool, and thereby pressure Palestine to finally give up terrorism and strike a deal with Israel. Will that work? Well, so far, it's working a lot better than the bullshit that the bipartisan (which means "liberal") foreign policy establishment insists is the only possible plan. Have you begun to notice that every single fucking thing the bipartisan (which means "liberal") foreign policy establishment tells us is 100% dead wrong? Oh, speaking of corrupt, stupid liberals who are always wrong about everything:

Now, if Der TrumpenFuhrer really wanted to try to make peace, he'd take on Cyprus, or Northern Ireland, or even try to get the Russkies and Germans to stop killing millions of Poles every 20 - 30 years!

Remind me again why we're supposed to seek out "wins" for Iran and the Palis. . .?
They both hate America, and have found a myriad of ways to express their "Death to America" sentiments.
If there's one modern foreign policy mindset I would love to see finally stomped out by Trump is it this: we're only allowed to intervene when we have no interests; if there are American interests in getting involved it is somehow vulgar and we are above such things.

It's because there's a plan to try to stage a military coup, remember? How dumb those guys would look while Trump is rolling this out.
Which is my guess as to why it wasn't done as a one-day thing; he's rolling it out over time up to the election.
This also shows you that they know exactly what the bad guys are planning.

Kuwait is going to be one of the hardest "gets". They're more distanced from the Saudi's than they other gulf states are, which is why they still talk to Qatar (who's sided with the Iranians) plus they have a large Shia population (I think about 40%) which sympathizes with the Ayatollah's. So they are nervous about upsetting Iran.

I wouldn't even bring it up, as treacherous peons stabbing the West in the back has been pretty standard for what was my entire life, in retrospect. But a truly disturbing thought occurs to me: Israel's "security establishment" has been leading America and Israel down the exact same path as the Goldbergs and Frums for generations. Will Netanyahu have the courage to purge them outright for their failures?

But if if is the Legion of Merit, that is interesting.

2) That atheist American "Jews" have fewer morals than the bastard of Osama Bin Laden and a wildebeest.

Iran has run out of the billions Obama gave them.
Their economy is in the toilet, and have little if any hard foreign currency left.
'IF' Trump wins re-election, Alliances across the Mid East will realign, out of pure and simple economic need.
Remember, Russia can no longer afford to support other countries, which means the only other Economic superpower is China.

I would point out that over the last year, Israel's Legal Establishment tried to knock Netenyehu out of power with a full court press of indictments and investigations - and in the end they lost and Bibi won. (much the same thing as Nancy and Adam Schiff tried against Trump here) I don't think Bibi will have a short memory.

I thought Morocco or probably Oman, which borders the UAE and is just across the Gulf from the Farsis.
Kuwait would be huge. Recall after Sadaam invaded, they actually invited Israel to come to their aid, IIRC.
Game-changer if the KSA joins. And as that is the capital of Islam, that would make a lot of heads explode.

So the conventional wisdom about everything is inherited from the British Empire's views on everything from the 1940's / 1950's when we took over being the worldwide diplomats / peacekeepers.
And the British in the 1940's preferred Iran because:

b) the persians historically (as in, like, pre-islam times) were the regional hegemons and people that had a track record of running the middle east.
and
c) the Persians were seen as more "european" or whatever then the Arabs were.
In fact, Persia changed it's name to Iran (the Farsi word for "Aryan") on the advice of the German ambassador to stress that Persians were European, not Arab.
tl;dr -- our "elites" are just dumb dumbs, and have no real reason for a lot of what they do and think other than they heard it somewhere.

Back during the 2008 campaign or maybe shortly after, I recall doing a search on John Brennan and found a policy paper he had written a few years earlier where he proposed making Iran the stabilizing superpower in the ME in place of the US.
I would bet that Jarrett and Brenan were not the only one who felt that way within that oh-so exclusive foreign policy elite/think tank circles. As with his other policies, Obama did not originate the Iran deal idea, he instead surrounded himself with pro-Iran people who used his presidency to implement it.

b) the persians historically (as in, like, pre-islam times) were the
regional hegemons and people that had a track record of running the
middle east.
and
c) the Persians were seen as more "european" or whatever then the Arabs were.
In fact, Persia changed it's name to Iran (the Farsi word for
"Aryan") on the advice of the German ambassador to stress that Persians
were European, not Arab.
tl;dr -- our "elites" are just dumb dumbs, and have no real reason
for a lot of what they do and think other than they heard it somewhere.

=============================
Well, that's part of it. But I think the main reason is that nearly half of the US-British Lend Lease supplies delivered during WWII to the Soviets moved through the "Persian Corridor". The Soviets occupied a big chunk of Northern Persia to facilitate the transfer of goods to Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan. The Persians wanted iron-clad guarantees from the Soviets, British and American governments that all foreign personnel would leave the country after the war. The Brits and the US fulfilled their end of the bargain, the Russkies did the same, but only after a lot of pushing and shoving by their former allies.

My belief, and certainly not just mine, was the Saudi (through Crown Prince Salman) was the one who, with Jared Kushner and Bibi Netenyehu did all the real negotiating. They are getting all their junior partners to sign on first, and then they will sign on when they think the timing is the best.
It appears that the Kuwaitis are reluctant, but Trump is using some resources at his disposal to persuade them.

I was anti establishment before antiestablishment was "cool." I had many online argument's during the Bush years (mostly in forums) with both Republicans and Democrats over the range of popular issues.
My observation was that the Republicans would actually argue their points, some might be won over, or at least we arrive at an agree to disagree but an acknowledgement that my points did exist.
The Dems were about 100% emotion and feelz. When they got to a point they couldn't refute they would simply ignore it - fingers in ears and eyes closed. They would ignore the "Hey, how about a response to my point" follow up posts. When faced with cognitive dissonance they simply hit the off button and move on to the next feelz point.

I would bet that Jarrett and Brenan were not the only one who felt that way within that oh-so exclusive foreign policy elite/think tank circles.

Let's say that's true. Did any of our past Presidents, never mind the incredibly loyal and intelligent Reform "Jewish" commentariat, turn on Obama for what was an obviously disastrous decision? Or did they celebrate James Mattis for quitting the Trump cabinet, because he wouldn't start an illegal and disastrous war?

That and, "The Shootist" are two of my favorite westerns.
There are a lot of westerns, but, not many that I consider to be much more than fun.
Though, Wayne in "The Searchers" is pretty good.

There's sometimes this mistaken notion that there is a "good" Islamic theology. Sometimes it's Shiite, sometimes it's Sunni. It depends on who the west can profit off of more at the moment, it seems.
The truth is both schisms are intolerant of everything not them, and a secular government would be a great thing. That's what made Turkey attractive for so long and now that's gone too. It's a pick your poison scenario for the west.
Israel is doing what is best for them and so are the arab states normalizing relations with them.
US is just helping broker the deal.
Trump (I guess you have to credit Kushner too) is the best president for making deals in my lifetime, bar none.

People here sometimes get too pedantic about their alleged preferences.
"Pale Rider" is something of a remake of "Shane" and "High Plains Drifter", kind of mashed up.
It's ok, and I liked it.
A lot of people here love "The Outlaw Josie Wales". I thought it was over - done and almost funny in places, some of the things were just so outrageous.
But, there you go.
Clint has made some really good movies, and some real stinkers.
I didn't like "Unforgiven" at first, but after watching it a couple of times, it grows on you.
Most of the movies he made with Sandra Locke ended up being kind of stinkers.

I've been reading a history of WWI. Interestingly (it seems to be omitted from some accounts) Britain and France promised Constantinople and the strait to Russia as a reward for joining the Entente, in the secret treaty signed in London in 1915. I guess Trotsky and Lenin blew that up! The Soviets published the secret treaty in 1917 to embarrass the signers but I think they may have omitted that one detail most pertinent to Russian interests.

The real question is who won't sign. Iran, Syria, Yemen, Algeria, Lebanon, and Libya. That's about it. It is in everyone's best interest all the rest sign. And soon.
This will be a drip drip drip - every week a new country with normalize relations, and as each one goes, the pressure on the rest increases.
REALLY want this thing to fly? The U.S. and Israel should be hooking these countries up with a lot of very tangible and immediate benefits of the relationship. Investment, most favored nation status, tech transfers. Cement the ties economically, quickly, so any pull back becomes painful.
And reproach Egypt and Jordan - see if you can warm things up for them. Get some real economic development and benefits.

I think the Saudis, especially, are willing to work with us because they're coming to the realization that they need a "plan b" for when the oil runs out, and right now the leading contender is to be a tourist destination. They're trying to (maybe have already started) build a massive resort city on the red sea.
So they're making baby steps in the direction of being known as a fun destination instead of a backwards, crazy, terrorism funding hub of extremism.
We shall see how successful they are.

Wayne, at times, really comes across as sinister in that movie. He was not some happy guy out a -shootin' Injuns.

Which is odd, because if the KSA recognized the State of Israel, the only thing that will do is bring to the surface what has been going on all along. The Saudis have decided the Iranians are a bigger threat than the Israelis (which they are) so they have been working with Israel on the DL.
But then, that might be the clash between the old and new school in the Saudi royal family.

To Egypt's credit, they have been getting fed up with the Palestinians and have been known to shut their border with Gaza. It might be closed even now. The big thing with Egypt is that they will have to open up their economy and reduce state control drastically. If they do that, Egypt wil make lots of headway.
