The attack on our embassy reminds us of all Trump's Middle East disasters:

1/ Emboldened Iran starts attacking U.S. targets;

2/ Turkey invades Syria;

3/ Saudi Arabia gets away with murder;

4/ Israeli/Palestinian peace slips out of reach.

And that's just the start...
4/ Thousands of Yemeni children continue to die in a U.S. fueled civil war;

5/ Iran restarts their nuclear program;

6/ Saudi Arabia and Qatar break relations, pushing Qatar to Iran

7/ Turkey buys weapons from Russia, breaking NATO's back
8/ Brutal crackdown on political dissent in Egypt ramps up

9/ U.S. abandons Kurds to die in Syria, leaves our bases for Russia

10/ U.S. hold on aid to Lebanon weakens their army, empowers Hezbollah

11/ ISIS begins to regroup in Iraq, breaks out of prisons in Syria
The list keeps going, but the point is this:

The attacks on our embassy in Iraq (and Iraq's unwillingness to defend us) is - on this last day of 2019 - a reminder of how catastrophic this year has been for U.S. interests in every corner of the Middle East.
