>>>I was surprised to see Kushner deliver UAE and Israel. Yes, I realize for some US citizens it is hard to define what happened where, but if Kushner has lined up more of the same AND some adversaries can be goaded into retaliation giving Trump a chance at another droning of identified adversary (think Soleimani) well timed and milked could make a difference. Clear action against antagonist state without deploying many troops at right moment will harnass public opinion. Target hit by adversary might make the difference

Besides the Sunni/Shiite chasm, the Saudis with Kaaba in Mekka and the Mosque in Medina going head to head with Iran as to who is true heir of the Prophet is clearly unable to be forerunner of talks or agreements with Israel (esp. as Jerusalem is considered holy as well). But if there is more than a trickle of "independant" Arab / Islam nations already in agreement...

You know if Iran could be brought in that would be such a great thing. Big well educated population. Good people. Instead were stuck with the Saudis. A virtually medieval country with nothing going for it but oil.
