Generally, U.S. friends in the region are distressed, doubting they can trust in America's protection; U.S. enemies are encouraged, believing America is weak and in retreat.
Says it all for me.
The Muslim Brotherhood knew that Barraack wouldn’t interfere with their plan for Egypt and Israel. They also knew that now was the time to strike with at least two more years of American weakness on the horizon, to solidify their positions of power in Egypt and their plan to crush Israel.
Zero’s speech of apology and weakness in Cairo gave them the impetus needed to get this whole thing started.
“...friends in the region are distressed, doubting they can trust in America’s protection...”
And as ally all over the world now know, they can’t trust the U.S. re ANYTHING, as the U.K. learned the hard way.
