What little I have heard it should probably go to Netanyahu. The Pig had nothing to do with it.

And it wasn't about him so he has to get a dose of attention so he can hear himself speak. Oh and the thing he can grab some attention with is this piece of fakeness.

Bahrain is a 300 square mile island that has no real influence in the region.

The only countries that really matter in the region when it comes to Israeli relations are Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Iran.....and ultimately the PLO.

Getting peripheral nations like UAE or Bahrain to normalize relations are just examples of wasting time with things that don't matter. This is like painting the front door to deal with the 3 foot hole in your roof.

I may be wrong about this, but I believe it was the King of Bahrain whom he insulted because he wasn't an autocratic dictator like MBS or Putin. It happened after Kashoggi was ambushed and killed, but I don't believe it was related to that. So much has happened and I'm having trouble keeping stuff straight any more. Chump also insulted Netanyahu I believe, or maybe it was the other way around.

Either way, the timing of this is awfully suspicious. Chump has trouble showing manners or respect to anyone who isn't a world-famous thug.

Bahrain and UAE are countries that have a pretty sizable US military presence.

By the time this "deal" is examined by the Biden administration, we're probably going to find all kinds of bribery, grift, blackmail and extortion.

What was threatened, or promised for nothing but a fucking photo op.

This is like Borneo and Chad declaring peace in WWII, and pretending that it's a significant agreement to end the war.

It's nothing but something Kushner and MBS wrote on a napkin after a night at a Bahrainian strip club.

And yes, there are strip clubs in Bahrain.

Wouldn't be shocked if Qutar were to also do something similar.

Qutar has actually been trying to begin normalizing relations with Israel for years, but Israel has thwarted those efforts previously.

Has anyone ever heard of Bahrain before? Is he making up countries, now?

I know his followers are flat earthers, so, maybe he thinks he can just make up a total imaginary world??
