From my personal experiences in Africa and dealing with Middle-Eastern's.
They see appeasement as a weakness, negotiation, compromise as a weakness.
Trump, for the first time, is dealing with them on their level.
They have always assumed the west as weak. And we were. They assumed Trump would be as weak as the previous presidents.
They were wrong.
Now THEY have to adapt. Or die.
Yes, agree. It's happening here too. But..not just the middle easterners.
We need a leader here who'll also deal with the locals who suck billions of dollars out of our society just to 'appease'.
Hard to put into context but it ain't just those from the middle east. It's home grown.
