      It's going to be a hell of thing when Jared Kushner re-creates the Ottoman Empire.https://twitter.com/LizSly/status/1036359872047009792 …

      Kushner has proposed a Palestinian-Jordanian confederacy instead of the 2-state solution. Abbas said: we should add Israel. And why not add Syria, Lebanon & Iraq too? Maybe the solution to Mideast peace isn’t new borders but no borders. https://www.axios.com/jared-kushner-mahmoud-abbas-palestine-jordan-peace-plan-0896dbce-c27e-4582-8bc6-1253e5261ecf.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic …

      Actually many of the Ottoman Sultans were not unlike Trump: luxury loving leeches, mentally & spiritually degenerate, and pulled in many directions by scheming advisors.

          I’ve seen it mentioned that some of the signs of American decline mirror those of the waning days of the Ottoman Empire. Do you see any correlation?

          jeet please get into some more recent ottoman historiography; this sounds like some very lurid nineteenth century "sick man of europe" discourse

          "mentally and spiritually degenerate" sounds more like something written about the sultans in a victorian newspaper than a reflection of a complex and inventively persistent polity

          Don’t automatically reject the confederation idea. Abbas had a good reply. The ultimate peace deal may well be something that would be a federation. Economically the partners already work together- albeit under less than perfect conditions.
