Yesterday the Palestinian Authority demanded the Arab League condemn the Israel/UAE peace treaty.
The League refused to do so.
There is a paradigm shift underway.
And Trump is in the middle of it. https://twitter.com/AviMayer/status/1303828128930893824?s=20

Now some of you are going "8 week plan?! **WHAT** 8 week plan? What is this '8 week plan' of which you speak?!"
Go back to July 17, the Rose Garden press conference Trump gave and roll the tape.
The video Calros linked is cued to the 42nd minute. https://twitter.com/COsweda/status/1284980183963807744?s=20

At 42 minutes, 17 seconds of the YouTube video, Trump suddenly begins to speak about this awesome '8 week plan' he has prepared that is kicking off the NEXT TUESDAY, which was Tuesday, July 21st.
Please listen.
Please listen.
Listen **carefully** to what the President of the United States said back on July 17th.
Pay specific attention to certain words he uses.
Don't just listen, hear what he's saying.

"things nobody has even contemplated"
'it's going to be a very exciting eight weeks"
"can honestly say nobody has ever seen eights weeks like we're going to have"
"they've been working on these things for 25-30 years"
"So I think we'll start sometime on Tuesday."

Now on the day the clock started ticking on that 8 week period, the morning of Tuesday, July 17, Trump rolled out two new Executive Orders he was going to sign.
First, he signed one saying only US citizens would be counted in the 2020 Census.
Second, prescription drug prices.

Then came the news of the Kurdish oil deal, more than a year in the making. Which means the entire time the establishment in DC was screaming Trump was about to cause a Kurdish genocide he was actually UNTYING a Gordian Knot that had flummoxed everybody else.
That dropped on Aug. 3rd.
Nothing about the oil profits plan leaked ahead of time, even though it took more than a year to negotiate it. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/03/delta-crescent-energy-syrian-oil-391033

Far from causing a Kurdish genocide, Trump fixed an intractable problem that appeared to have no **conventional** solution.
Imagine that.
Same thing he did with the newly announced Serbia/Kosovo economic deal.

Same thing he did with the newly announced Serbia/Kosovo economic deal.
The politico think tank class in DC and the policy wonks of the EU bureaucracy were unable to end a 20+ year Serbia/Kosovo stalemate.
Now the EU is loudly whining that if Serbia/Kosovo move their embassies to Jerusalem, they won't be admitted into the EU.
Now the EU is loudly whining that if Serbia/Kosovo move their embassies to Jerusalem, they won't be admitted into the EU.
That same think-tank establishment class viewed a Russian-backed Iranian nuclear umbrella over the Middle East as an inevitability.
The **best** that could be hoped for was to merely **delay** the Iranian nuclear breakout for a few years.
Or so we were told.

And so while the Obama/Biden administration stiffed Israel at every opportunity, it relentlessly sucked up to Iran, Russia & China, encouraged & urged on by a political elite class in DC floating on a sea of foreign bribes disguised as 'lobbying' and 'media coverage'.
Trump is shutting off the foreign money spigot into DC from places like China, Iran, Russia, Qatar, certain factions in Saudi Arabia, and elsewhere.
At the same time he's demonstrating the inevitable Russo-Iranian nuclear umbrella was NOT so inevitable after all.

Trump should get the Nobel Peace Prize just for whacking Soleimani. As the operational head and de facto commander of a dozen of Iran's proxy terrorist groups, taking him out not only ended all the attacks on US bases & assets in Iraq, it will take Iran years to replace him.
Now following what some believe was the destruction of a massive stockpile of Hezbollah missiles in Lebanon, suddenly peace deals are being rolled into the open, deals that were months, if not years, in the making.
The balance of power in the region is SHIFTING.

The Israel/UAE peace deal, long in the works, goes public.
Now Bahrain is going to follow the UAE's example, and I fully expect there will be more.
Those who backed the Russo-Iranian nuclear hegemony for the Middle East can only watch what's unfolding in stupefaction.

I said it two days ago in my column at @UncoverDC and I'll say it again now:
GIVE THIS PRESIDENT A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE AND GIVE IT TO HIM **NOW**. https://uncoverdc.com/2020/09/09/donald-trump-deserves-the-nobel-peace-prize/

You know who we can thank for what Trump and our allies are doing in the Middle East these days?
This clueless idiot.
Early on back in 2009 he **proved** to the Saudis & the rest of the GCC he was gonna be no help WHATSOEVER in reigning in Iran or Russian in their region.

When the Saudi King kept trying to talk about Iran & it's nuclear weapons program, Obama kept **stubbornly changing the subject** to Israel.
Write this down: the Arab nations of the region DO NOT WANT TO LIVE UNDER AN IRANIAN NUCLEAR UMBRELLA.
Obama said it was **inevitable**.

So something changed in the Middle East, something important while Obama & Ben Rhodes & Hillary Clinton & John Kerry were focused like a laser on appeasing and sucking up to Iran & Russia to get that precious Iran Deal finalized.
Our allies over there got SMART.

Keeping Obama mostly out of the loop, the Gulf Cooperation Council began having it's member nations **coordinate their special forces together**.
Obama literally **forced them** to create a multinational force for their own region to handle their own security.

By the time Obama left office & Trump won & came in, all this multinational force needed was the proper military equipment and weapons to take on threats like ISIS and Iran.
Guess what happened?
TRUMP GAVE THEM WHAT THEY NEEDED.
And they love him for it.

It's no mystery why Trump's very first foreign visit as US President was to...Saudi Arabia, where a massive arms deal was made to equip not just Saudi Arabia, but the multinational GCC commando force.
"The House of War has become The House of Peace.", it was sung.
"The House of War has become The House of Peace.", it was sung.
Every other US President **dictated** to the Arab countries what they were gonna do.
"You do this, you guys over there will do that, we're in charge, do what we say or we'll leave."
Trump was 180 degrees different.
He said, "You're in charge. HOW CAN I HELP YOU?"

To **this day** the political establishment has no idea what that Saudi trip signified, what happened during it. They were too busy mocking it & screaming an arms deal with Saudi Arabia was a STUPID thing for Trump to do.
Trump moved the US military from a leading role to a **supporting role**. The locals are in charge. The locals do the heavy lifting.
It wasn't **really** US soldiers leading the way in the destruction of ISIS. Our guys were in the REAR or in an advisory role.

Taking on ISIS and destroying the 'caliphate' was the first big test for a GCC multinational force that was almost a decade in the making.
With US help and assistance, they got the job done. They are trained, equipped and ready.
Do you realize what this means?

It means THE US MILITARY CAN REDUCE IT'S PRESENCE IN THE REGION.
Which is exactly why President Trump is following through on his promises to end the Iraq and Afghan military operations.
We're not needed there any longer.

Of course, for every 1,000 US soldiers in a hot zone, there are many, MANY people who make big bank on their being overseas.
Construction. Housing. Equipment. Maintenance. We're talking millions and billions here to defense contractors & others in the establishment.

So people who make more $$$ the more US soldiers are deployed overseas are of course NOT HAPPY realizing this paradigm shift means a reduced US presence in the Middle East.
The face losing contracts worth millions of dollars.
Ah well. Too bad.

To counter a Russian & Chinese backed Iranian nuclear hegemony in the Middle East a **significant US military presence** was going to be required.
See where I've been going with this?

The political/military elite DC establishment's WORST NIGHTMARES are coming true.
Trump has **taken the biggest reason** for a growing US military presence in the Middle East off of the board.
This is going to have **significant financial consequences** for some people.

The paradigm shift in the region from:
A) a growing US military presence to counter the growing threat of a Russo-China-backed Iranian nuclear umbrella
to
B) a shrinking US military presence as Israel & GCC allies secure the region against a non-nuclear Iran
is happening now.

Trump's 8 week plan is almost finished.
The actual end date of the 8 week period is this coming Tuesday, the 15th.
That is the day that Israel & UAE are scheduled to sign their peace treaty at the White House. https://news.yahoo.com/trump-host-israel-uae-deal-030523044.html

Another Arab nation, Bahrain, has just announced they too will be signing a treaty with Israel.
There are rumors more Arab League/GCC nations will be following suit.
The old paradigm is dead.
Long live the new TRUMP paradigm!
FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!
