The extreme defense

The Result

The defense might argue: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the recent impasse between the US and Russia at the UN has led to the end of the peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara, a development that supporters might argue is a victory for Morocco. The defense submits that this outcome allows Morocco to assert its sovereignty without the constraints of international oversight.

What Trump Did

The defense might argue that the current administration's approach to foreign policy has shifted the dynamics in the region, creating an opportunity for Morocco to celebrate its newfound autonomy.

Why Supporters Credit Him

Supporters might argue that this situation reflects a broader trend of nations reclaiming control over their territories, a narrative that aligns with Trump's 'America First' philosophy.

The Supporting Record

The defense admits that the end of the peacekeeping mission could lead to challenges, but it also opens the door for Morocco to engage in self-determination.

The Limitation or Competing Explanation

However, the defense might argue that while there are risks, the potential for Morocco to thrive independently should not be overlooked.

Verdict

If this is Trump's fault, his supporters will gladly let him take the blame.
