Trump to 'Work' on Sudan at MBS's Request, Not Humanity's
Donald Trump announced he'd 'work' on the Sudan conflict , not because 12 million displaced people and tens of thousands dead constitute a crisis, but because Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) 'asked him to.' This isn't geopolitical strategy; it's a glorified favor from a future king. The fact that the US has ignored Sudan's devastating civil war for over a year, only for it to snap
into focus when a wealthy donor makes a casual request, speaks volumes. One might wonder if the same promptness would materialize without the royal nudge and the implicit promise of future financial 'partnerships'—the kind that so often define America's 'moral' foreign policy. How many other conflicts might be 'resolved' if the right check is written, or the right golf course development approved?
