Trump's 'Peace' Summit, America's Perpetual War
The Al Jazeera quote frames Trump's 'peace summit' as a 'Middle East wedding for Trump,' implying leaders attended more for him than any ceasefire. This isn't just about presidential egos; it's about cementing decades of U.S. policy, regardless of who is in the Oval Office. Remember the Abraham Accords? Sold as groundbreaking peace deals, they conveniently paved the way for massive U.S. arms sales
to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, totaling over $23 billion in F-35s alone, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). For these 'peace summits,' the real guests are military-industrial complex shareholders. These 'weddings' are less about regional stability and more about ensuring a steady flow of taxpayer dollars into defense contracts, cementing America's role as the
region's primary arms dealer. How many 'peace deals' do we need before acknowledging the true beneficiaries of perpetual conflict?
