File under: Govt of Iran

#1 Don't worry Iran, Trump will run away like he's doing in Syria. And some will cheer him for taking on the "globalists" 'eternal war', on the left AND now on the right.

Trump, Obama, going back to Nixon and Jimmy Carter have taught them all they have to do is wait us out, and we will quit, leaving our allies to twist in the wind.

Ask the Hmong if you think this is new.

#2 Not nearly the same. Th Houthis are Iranian puppets. The US is aware of this. And the Saudis will be "assisted" by people you would likely never expect it from. As for Syria, that is not a done deal yet. As for the Hmong, that was another era and the Cold War was going on. Blame Kissinger and RealPolitik if you want to blame anyone for that. He led Nixon, Ford and Carter around by the nose. Thank God for Reagan.

#3 BlameKissinger and RealPolitik if you want to blame anyone for that. He led Nixon, Ford and Carter around by the nose.

....and was/is the architect of the transfer of American manufacturing and wealth to China (in my opinion).

#4 Transferring our industrial base and wealth to China isn't RealPolitik. It's surrealpolitik.

Future generations will view this as an extraordinarily stupid policy, one that was never articulated by our leaders or put to any sort of vote.
