    Israel is obviously in charge here. The tail wags the dog. It’s humiliating, frankly. A powerful country debased by a tiny group of ideological extremists.

      The USA is in charge and want you to believe to opposite. Israel is nothing without the billions of dollars and arms the US give them. When trump said israel should stop the war with Iran they stopped because Trump want to protect it proxy to serve the US imperialism .

        Yeah. Trump isn’t trying to stop bombing of Gaza. He’s trying to setup a means to remove Palestinians and build hotels. How many times does the US have to lie before people get that Israel is nothing but an extension of US imperialism.

    Of course they strike Gaza. There are still people living in there they think need to be exterminated.

    This is preemptive on purpose. They told him they’re going to bomb, he asks them if they need more bombs, they say yes, he sells them more bombs then says “stop bombing!”. Rinse, repeat.

    It’s just business, they dgaf. External communication to give it a semblance of propriety while the deals happen behind closed doors.

    Same thing as he’s been doing with Russia.

    Other world leaders have no respect for Trump. They won’t make peace just because he’s asking for it to get a Nobel prize. They’re only using him to get what they want.

      It’s funny, in December I kept seeing people who said just having Trump in the white house would end all the wars. He didn’t actually have to do anything, but because he’s so irrational, world leaders who make peace everywhere from fear of Trump doing something stupid.

      Turns out, no one fears Trump. No one gives half a shit about USA. Everyone knows USA is about to be plenty preoccupied with a fascist coup, and won’t have the personell to oppress their people and the world at the same time.
