This "10 billion in cash and gold".... I believe you are talking about the payments the US made to Iran. This wasn't money Obama "gave to Iran" but instead was money that has been due to Iran for some time now. You are making this out to be "Obama wanted to give Iran billions" which isn't the case. I don't want to pay my mortgage, but... I have to.
Obama also didn't kick Israel to the curb. Jesus Christ. We had a disagreement and Israel had to be told no. The reality here is Israel is taking land that doesn't belong to them, and is building new cities on that land. This is illegal and needs to stop. This is like Mexico moving our border back thirty miles and building cities there - Not gonna happen.
Telling Russia to fuck off? Sure sure. They took Crimea, and then tried to take the rest of Ukraine. Not gonna happen.
Russia, the United States, and Iran is not going to fix the Middle East. The Middle East is just fucked and always will be. And please pay attention this next bit very carefully.... Things will get much, much worse in the Middle East. For the past sixty years the Middle East has been important to rest of the world because of it's oil reserves. The Middle East was supported on the Western world's need for oil. This is no longer the case. We are discovering new methods to extract oil from the ground, finding new oil reserves everywhere, and it's becoming cheaper and cheaper to produce. Combined with electric cars and solar power, in the near future the Middle East will become worthless. Utterly fucking worthless. We don't need their oil any more - Now what are they going to do? Saudi Arabia is already feeling this and it will only get worse, not better. Entire governments will collapse because of this.
