Remember: peace in the Middle East with an alliance between Israel & Arab League nations means those who invested in the "inevitable" Russia & China-back Iranian nuclear hegemony over the region bet on the wrong horse.
And there are SERIOUS financial consequences for that. To counter the Russia/China-backed Iranian nuclear influence in the region, there was supposed to be a GROWING US military presence.
Now that US military presence is NOT NEEDED.
People who make BANK on every 1,000 US soldiers in a hot zone are NOT HAPPY about this. Iran isn't going nuclear after all.
And US troops don't need to be in the region guaranteeing our allies security because they now have their own multinational security forces and they can handle that job themselves.
A huge paradigm shift is underway. Understand: peace in the Middle East like THIS is an absolute disaster for some people.
If they could have, Washington DC elites would've done their best to try to sabotage this peace treaty if they known about it.
And that's key.
THEY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT. THIS is why Mattis & Kelly and others left.
They figured out TOO LATE what Trump was really trying to do. Up until then they thought he was a guy they could work with, a guy who would let them expand the wars and keep the old wars going. From Trump's inner circle, there are no REAL LEAKS.
That is the only way they are pulling off all of these deals that are now coming to light, where negotiations took place in utter secrecy for months, if not more than a year. The entire political/military establishment set in it's own ways with it's own goals can't stop him because they'll never find out what he's really up to until it's far too late for them to try to sabotage it.
And it's a beautiful thing.
Can't wait for Tuesday.

I agree with this assessment. I'm old enough to remember being taught that peace in the middle east would never ever ever happen in our lifetimes.
Paraphrasing a question from a Q drop yesterday or the day before: Who would benefit from the world believing that peace in the middle east is impossible? Hmmm.
I think the tweets are too chirpy and misses many things. "Iran isn't going nuclear after all." -- the writer is naive. The same fellas in charge of Iran and suddenly they are dropping nuclear efforts? I'd say the writer knows too little of Middle East dynamics. Israel and Arab countries are coming to an accommodation because of Iran, but it's called peace so that it can palatable to normal folks.
Have you somehow missed Iran's facilities blowing themselves up over the past three months?
Doesn't mean they will stop their efforts. When has any such thing stopped them cold before? How many men were they willing to expend in the Iran-Iraq war(s)? Nothing has changed. These fellas are good at eternal blood feuds. Iran will try to build and run facilities. Israel will try to destroy them. Does that sound anything like they will stop their efforts? That sentence is extremely poorly worded, because it implies something has changed, whereas in reality nothing has changed.
