In a candid discussion with Ian Bremmer, Harvard Kennedy School professor Stephen Walt highlights the striking similarities between the Biden and Trump administrations' Middle East policies. "It's hard to see a big change between the Trump administration's approach to the Middle East and what the Biden administration was doing up until October 7." Walt notes that Biden's actions have mirrored Trump's, from failing to fulfill promises like reopening the US Consulate in Jerusalem to continuing Trump's approach with the Abraham Accords.
Despite occasional frustrations and ongoing conflicts in the region, both administrations have maintained strong support for Israel, with little indication of significant policy shifts. Walt also emphasizes the cautious approach of both presidents regarding Iran, suggesting that neither side desires a full-scale conflict, given the complexities and potential repercussions in the volatile Middle East. “For the United States to get involved in yet another large Middle East war seems to me is contrary to our interests, but it's also contrary to most of Donald Trump's instincts.”

Walt, a "realist,' is being disingenuous. He ignores the reality that the US has but one party, the uniparty, and would have us believe that Democratic Presidents and Republic Presidents offer differing policies. They don't. The abide by the interests that gave Walt his position at Harvard, the plutocrats. Get real, Steve.

For a "realist," Walt is seriously delusional. "Houties" are not Housties; they are Yemeni, some of whom are Houties; and they are NOT Iranian proxies. Stop denying them agency; after all, they're kicking your butt in the Red Sea. Get real, Steve.
