Trump's promise to the Middle East: No more “lectures on life”

When President Trump from the stage of an opulent ballroom in Saudi Arabia explained that the United States were done on the nation's construction and intervention, the world's superpower would no longer “give lectures on life”, his audience broke out in applause.

He effectively denounced decades of American politics in the Middle East and played on symptoms that were long broadcast from Morocco to Oman in cafes and living rooms.

“In the end, the so -called nation of Builders built far more nations than they built,” Trump said on Tuesday during a comprehensive speech at an investment conference in the Saudi capital Riad. “And the interventionalists intervened in complex companies that they didn't even understand.”

He asked the people in the region to “draw their own fate in their own way”.

The reactions to his speech quickly spread to mobile phone screens in a Middle East, in which the American invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan – and recently the US support for Israel, if it intensified his war in Gaza, which is on the verge of hunger – are moved to public awareness and criticized by monarchists and Alike Dissiders.

Sultan Alamer, A Saudi academics joked that Mr. Trump's statements sounded as if they were from Frantz Fanon, a Marxist thinker from the 20th century, who wrote about the dynamics of colonial oppression. Syrians have published solemn memes when Mr. Trump announced that he would end American sanctions in their war country “to give them a chance of size”.

And in Yemen – another country that was in war and is subject to American sanctions – implied abdullatif Mohammed implicit agreement with Mr. Trump's concept of conflict, also when he expressed frustration on US intervention.
