The Sunni equivalent of the pope, the
grand mufti of Saudi Arabia, a revered figure in half the Muslim world, has
just declared that it
is forbidden to kill Jews. This is the culmination of years of
delicate diplomacy between Israel and Saudi Arabia, with the active aid and
support of Egypt, Jordan, and other peaceful forces in the world,
including the United States.
This high-level Islamic declaration of peace comes as a climax
after a thunderous avalanche of strategic events, culminating in the Saudi
purge by King Salman and his heir apparent, Mohammed bin Salman, which has kept
opposition figures like billionaire Alwaleed bin Talal locked up in a hotel,
along with dozens of other power-holders in Arabia, to force them to give vast
amounts of money to the kingdom, which is facing economic disaster with the
fall of oil prices. The militant war faction in Saudi Arabia and other
Gulf states is under attack from within, and it may be crumbling.
This entire strategic event has been carefully planned and
orchestrated by the duly elected president of the United States, one Donald J.
Trump, with the active help of Israel, Egypt, and some Saudi royals. Even
as you read this, Donald Trump is still hated and pursued by a posse of corrupt
leftists in Washington, D.C., now holding an empty bag.
In this major, strategic campaign Trump was diplomatically aided
by Egypt's President El-Sisi, who has openly declared the need for deep reform
in Islam. The current tremendous opening for peace in the world has been
consistently opposed by the Obama-Hillary Democratic Party, which is now being
exposed by one sexual criminal charge after the next, so that even Bill
Clnton's 26 trips on the Lolita Express with underage girls, run and sponsored
by billionaire Jeff Epstein, is finally getting exposure in the corrupt media.
This means total panic for the bad side. It means that Saudi
Arabia, the traditional leader of Sunni Islam, is now aligned again with the
United States, Israel, and the West against the aging and doomed gerontocracy
of Iran, which is closely allied with terrorist gangs like Hamas, Hezb'allah,
Qatar, and the Muslim Brotherhood. These rejectionist forces are now
facing the prospect of extinction.
Trump and his allies in the Muslim world, in Israel, and in the
saner parts of Asia and the West have worked this strategy based on his decades
of experience and deep intelligence in the international hotel business, where
survival depends on accurate knowledge. Good business and peace go
together.
On the Muslim side, King Salman of Saudi Arabia and his son and
now heir, Mohammed bin Salman, have mobilized modernist forces in the Sunni
world, finally talking the most radical elites, the Sunni priesthood, including
Wahhabis and Salafists, into a practical peace agreement.
One likely incentive was Trump's and Secretary Mattis's
unambiguous statement that the United States would finally eliminate the known
Sunni chain of command of murderous jihad attacks on innocent children, girls,
boys, and women marked for sexual slavery, and similar crimes against humanity,
in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the rest of the world.
Crimes against humanity are forbidden in every long human
tradition, even the ones that are double-faced. SecDef Mattis has been
particularly clear on this point.
In Trump's recent trip to China, President Xi received him in the
historicForbidden
City, an unsurpassed symbol of the greatness of ancient China. The
Forbidden City has not previously been opened by the Chinese communists to
visiting heads of state. In China, Russia, and the Middle East, history
is alive in the present. Trump's reception in China and Da Nang (Vietnam)
was filled with real meaning.
What we are seeing is a rationalization of forces. This is
not some sentimental symbol of the kind Obama specialized in. When Obama
bowed low to the emperor of Japan and the president of China, those people
laughed at him, because an empty suit is funny.
Trump is not an empty suit.
In his historic speech in Da Nang, Vietnam, he told a truth
everybody knew but was not ready to say out loud: that Asia has an
extraordinary historical tradition and that it is building toward a magnificent
future, but that the spread of nuclear weapons to crazy ideologues is a clear
and present threat to everyone.
Under Trump, the United States wants to work with China and
Vietnam, among other Asian powers, to obviate that threat. That is in the
American national interest, but it is also in their vital interest.
Behind the scenes, in spite of Washington madness about the empty
"Trump dossier," Vladimir Putin is an authoritarian with common
sense. To Russians, the Great Patriotic War is a living memory, but also
an enormous sacrifice never to be repeated again. Putin may be a new
tsar, and the tsars were never suicidal.
Ballistic missiles from North Korea and Iran now threaten the
existence of every nation on earth. Nukes and missiles in the hands of
suicide-proclaiming regimes serve no sane nation in the world.
Trump's triumph is also a unified world weapon aimed at
rejectionist forces in North Korea and Tehran.
That is the fundamental strategic reality. The threat of
uncontrolled nukes should be obvious to every intelligent person in the world,
but somehow the Democrats since Jimmy Carter have denied that reality.
Instead, they kowtowed to the forces of primitive desert jihad, a
military suicide cult similar to Imperial Japan in World War Two.
Such suicide cults exist, but they are utterly incompatible with
nuclear weapons and worldwide delivery vehicles.
Donald J. Trump has traveled the world on business for decades,
holding conversations with business leaders and politicians. As Trump has
shown with his pitch-perfect visit to China, he has deep respect and sympathy
for the family traditions that hold China together. His young
granddaughter's performance of classical Mandarin children's songs touched
ordinary people in China, because it signaled respect and shared values between
three thousand years of Chinese tradition and a United States that has
rediscovered its own values. China is very familiar with revolution and
redemption.
So is Vladimir Putin, who has brought back the Russian Orthodox
Church as his major ideological source of support. Ordinary Russians and
Chinese are not necessarily religious in the traditional way, but they know who
is on their side and who has sown destruction and chaos in the last century.
National suicide serves only suicidal fanatics.
France's Emmanuel Macron has watched all this happen very
intelligently and has joined in the Saudi breakthrough to peace, something the
European Union (which is still stuck in Marxism) has been unable to do.
But now they will have to follow the new correlation of powers, whether
they like it or not.
Trump described
the new shared doctrine of peace and national sovereignty for all
nations in his speech in Da Nang.
When we are confident in ourselves, our strength, our flag,
our history, our values – other nations are confident in us. And when we treat
our citizens with the respect they deserve, other countries treat America with
the respect that our country so richly deserves.
This is not some kind of homogenized "globalism."
It is global patriotism, national love and pride, and peace, in the face
of unimaginable weapons of mass destruction, weapons that do not deliver
victory, but only suicide.
It could be called the art of the deal – the one where everybody
wins.
Donald Trump deserves our support.
