Trump vs Biden, who's the best for Middle East?

Sometimes when everyone speaks in unison, they want to go against the flow.  So let's try a little.  Many support Trump because he has not started a new war.  But there are some big gaps in this logic.

 The issue of not fighting is ultimately the prerogative of the president, but it is not the only issue.  Time, public opinion, political context are also important.  No one can fight if he wants to.  No one can stop himself from fighting if he does not want to.

 2001 and 2016 are not one.  If 9/11 had happened under Trump, Trump would have been involved in the war.  And theoretically, if Obama came to power again in 2016, most likely Obama would not be involved in any new war.

 Notice that 9/11 happened under Bush, the Arab Spring happened under Obama, the rise of ISIS happened, nothing new happened during that time under Trump.  No new situation was created to fight.

 If you look at the Obama administration, Obama has not started a new war in that sense.  Rather Obama has done a lot of work going beyond the typical American presidential position.  Hussein Mubarak, America's long-awaited ally, has been ousted.  And he did so in defiance of the views of most members of his cabinet, including Hillary.

 Trump's efforts to withdraw troops from Afghanistan have been widely praised, but Obama has not just made the effort, he has withdrawn the entire military from Iraq.  And he did so in the face of strong objections from Saudi Arabia, one of their main allies in the Middle East, and a serious threat from King Abdullah.

 America took part in the Libya war, but their role was less than that of France and Qatar.  They didn’t come forward and lead, “leading from behind”.

 And Syria?  I don't know what kind of friendlist you maintain, but the resentment among Islamists against Obama for not bombing Bashar al-Assad, if you don't see it, you're missing a big piece of the picture.  On the contrary, if the statement of investigative journalist Seymour Hersh is correct, then Turkish intelligence carried out a false flag operation of chemical attack to remove Bashar with Obama, yet Obama did not attack.

 Obama came out of the long-standing US policy of protecting Saudi Arabia at all costs and waging war in the interests of Saudi Arabia.  He forced Mubarak, Abdullah's personal friend, to step down.  Threats to Saudi Arabia The Muslim Brotherhood backed Morsi after he was elected president.  And when the Saudi-Emirati-Israeli alliance overthrew Morsi with Sisi, it went against him and suspended military aid to Egypt.

 Obama made peace with Iran in the face of strong objections from Saudi Arabia.  Yemen has seen the rise of the Houthis but has not started fighting there.  The war was started by Saudi Arabia itself, without informing the United States.  King Salman informed America at the last moment, but at the same time said, we are going to start a war, hopefully you will be by our side.  But even if not, we will fight this war.

 Obama's fault was that he increased the level of drone attacks at an unusual rate.  Gave the CIA legitimacy for targeted attacks without trial.  But there is also a fallacy in the number of drone strikes that have killed so many Muslims during the Obama administration.

 A large part of the air strikes during Obama's tenure took place in Libya - first in 2011, then in 2015.  The year 2011 could be debated, although it was a legally sanctioned operation by the United Nations, where the veto was far from over, and none of the temporary members of the Security Council voted.

 On the contrary, in the 2015 anti-ISIS operation in which Obama carried out more than 500 drone strikes, there was hardly any civilian casualty.  Each attack was targeted.  And through that attack, no area in the world was completely liberated from IS.

 On the contrary, Trump's record shows that he has completely razed Raqqa and Mosul in Syria - without taking any initiative to evacuate civilians.  Literally mixed with the soil.  And no one knows how many hundreds or thousands of civilians have been killed by IS there.

 So it is true that Trump has not started a big war, but there is a huge gap in the tendency to make Trump an angel as opposed to Obama.  No doubt, Hillary was much more aggressive than Obama.  And with Hillary in power instead of Trump, we might actually see a different world.  But if Biden comes instead of Trump, will it be?  Probably not.

 As I said before, 2001 and 2016 or 2020 are not the same.  The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have become a burden for America.  The Afghan war was popular, but the unpopular war in Iraq and its aftermath have led to an increase in anti-war sentiment in the United States.  Moreover, because of shale oil, the Middle East is no longer as important to America as it once was.

 So now that Biden is actually occupying a new country in the Middle East, "absorbing oil" - this possibility is no longer there.  The role of oil in world politics and American principles have changed a lot.  America will no longer be interested in a major war in the Middle East - neither Trump nor Biden.  They will move away from the Middle East and gradually focus on Asia.

 The Middle East must leave them in someone else's hands.  The other one is Israel.  And as successful as Trump has been in handing over the Middle East to Israel in a short period of time, Biden is a far cry from Hillary.
