This strain has always existed on the Left (just like on the Right). It’s conspiratorial, antisemitic, anti-science, & nothing will ever be enough for them.

“But what it also found is that familiarity with possible reform options remains low.” Converse et al strike again. Most voters aren’t moved by policies or issues (bc they don’t know much about either), but by PID even if they hate both parties.

Been in MENA for a bit more than a week now, and the number of Chinese made cars—Geely, BYD, MG, etc, etc—has skyrocketed compared to just last year. A few years back, French/Italian cars dominated the market. No longer they do. It’s mostly Chinese cars with some high end German ones.

The nickname middle easterners have chosen to call Trump is either “mahboul” or “majnoon” 2 different countries, the same nickname And both nicknames mean the same thing—i.e., crazy or insane. We are so not a laughingstock. FWIW, MENA hated GW Bush, but they didn’t call him insane or crazy

Proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump and Co. conducted a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States out of its presidential election — ie attempted an autogolpe, or "self-coup" — was in the public record. The facts and the law were never in question. Only if America would follow them.

This argument is never going to die, is it? “The west help create the conditions that led to Putin’s rise to power” is at best a necessary, but utterly insufficient condition. It’s a lazy argument that sounds quite good, but, if I may say, a fallacious/flawed one

A new running joke in MENA: A guy walked in a café this morning & loudly asked a question to everyone there: has he annihilated Iran yet? Everyone burst out laughing 5/10 minutes later, another guy walked in & asked the same Q provoking the same laughter. Folks, we are a joke!

Couldn’t agree more with Shibley Telhami. I would just add one more thing: KSA’s ruling class—re: royalty family—rightly believes/thinks that the US is no longer a reliable ally and/or partner. The Iran war made that very clear.

Puzzling WP headline. Put aside your view of the Saudi government, who would reasonably expect Riyadh to "rule out" nukes today? Israel has them and many expect Iran to acquire them soon - at a time when Saudi security is more visibly exposed than anyone could have expected.

A last one on middle easterners’ reaction to Trump’s speech In the middle of the speech, someone stood up, pointed at the tv/Trump, & said out loud, “guys, doesn’t he remind you of Kaddafi?” More laughter! He’s a joke & the entire world knows it (except the @nytimes.com, of course).

I watched Trump’s speech at the UNAG in a cafe in a MENA country, and the reaction of the people was something. When Trump said he’d annihilate Iran, the café erupted into a loud laughter. It was hilarious! They called Trump “mahbool” & “majnoon”—the insane. We are officially a laughingstock

The best barometer for political sentiment in the MENA region is to walk in a popular café in popular neighborhood—no fake posh stuff—early in the morning, & just listen to people react to the news playing on tv screens. The gap between people’s political opinions & their leaders is so stark.
