One Day I Will Return To Your Side.
Didn't notice this thread was made, here are my two cents cross posted from another thread.

I like how the article is trying to paint Obama as a sighing nihilist who laments tribalism and stuff being the reasons why the middle east can never change when him and his allies oversaw the destruction of the Arab spring in the countries allied to his government, one of which happened to be so central to the Arab world that if it had been allowed to run it's course would've changed the middle east forever for the better. instead they installed a military fascist, doubled down on support on the same governments that shackled the middle east for decades who are their allies to them come hell or high water.

I mean, I don't have any illusions of expectations of Obama ever shifting from the institutional foreign policies of the united states, but claiming ignorance and saying the middle east is what it is and will never change is either indicative of being massively shortsighted or flat out lying.
