Things that #Trump, as a #rich_kid, will never understand about the #Middle_East:
In #Ukraine, despite its military might, #Russia has failed in four years to cripple the energy sector. And the people there have adapted to it.

If #Iran were to disrupt the drinking water supply of various countries, even temporarily, life in those countries would be under acute threat.
#TheChildren’sDesert, basically!
