Having read scounds post, and Brian's comments, there is little in either that I disagree with, however what Trump fails to understand is that those of us on the ground, the people in the real world, who have to deal with the fall out of his words and actions, find ourselves in a more and more difficult position.
The build up, and now the action over the Iran deal has put us in a very difficult position, we are being openly told now that our word is meaningless, as the Americans will block anything we come up with. In the Arab world this is absolute confirmation of the hatred held against the Arab nations by America, it confirms absolutely that America can never be trusted in any dealings with any Arab nation, but it has also caused other Western nations to step back and rethink many agreements they have with America. The biggest single concern is how safe is NATO?
