I can also tell you that many people in the middle east are sad to see Trump leave. His strong stance on Iran and some of the new alliances and shakeups in the region regarding Israel, though possibly done through some brute force, have certainly changed the status quo, possibly for the better.

Just yesterday Trump administration sanctioned Gibran Bassil, a corrupt Lebanese politician who is very close with Hezbollah. I hope Biden has the same sense to chase these guys down...

Certainly not the Kurds.

> His strong stance on Iran

In other words, you just like the side of the war that he picked.

Well, you can't please everyone - you gotta pick a side. Iran's track record of spending money across the region to foment wars is quite clear... Are all sides saints in these struggles? - certainly not... But I pick the lesser of the evils...

As if Israel and Saudi Arabia aren't spending even more money and fomenting their own wars. The fact is that Obama's Iran deal could have been a shakeup of the middle east and led to lasting peace. With Trump's tilting everything towards Israel and Saudi Arabia I don't see any end game for Iran besides catastrophe and potentially war. Maybe the idea is to oppress Iran for decades with superior weapons and money like Israel has done to Palestine. But even if they are able to pull that off it is an evil strategy.

Mohammed bin Salman is certainly sad as well.
