Trump had 4 opportunities to endorse Netanyahu but refrained. Why now? Closer to election has more impact. But was there a quid pro quo? Indeed for better/worse, Bibi is his partner in Iran fiasco. Not to endorse him if Trump is thinking of hitting Iran hard soon makes no sense.
מה אפשר להבין מהחלק האיראני בציוץ של טראמפ? יש כאן שתי אפשרויות שצריך לבחון: א. טראמפ מעוניין לתקוף שוב באיראן, אבל אינו רוצה לעשות זאת לבדו. לכן הוא מבקש להבטיח שישראל תצטרף לארצות הברית במערכה נוספת. ב. נתניהו מעוניין במערכה נוספת מול איראן, ובמקביל זקוק לתמיכתו הפוליטית של טראמפ לקראת הבחירות הגורליות מבחינתו. אם מחברים את שתי האפשרויות הללו, עולה השאלה האם נתניהו הבטיח לטראמפ שישראל תצטרף למתקפה אמריקאית נוספת נגד איראן בתמורה לתמיכתו הפוליטית. אם אכן ניתנה התחייבות כזאת, הרי שכל החלטה עתידית על יציאה למערכה נוספת מול איראן תחייב בחינה לא רק של השיקולים הביטחוניים, אלא גם של ההתחייבויות הפוליטיות האפשריות שנתניהו נתן לטראמפ. אבל דווקא משום שהמחיר של מערכה נוספת מול איראן עלול להיות כבד, השאלה הזאת מחייבת בירור. אסור שהחלטה על מלחמה נוספת עם איראן תתקבל על בסיס שיקולים פוליטים במקום על בסיס צורך ביטחוני אמיתי. כאמור, מדובר בניתוח נסיבתי של הציוץ של טראמפ, ולא במידע מבוסס על מה שהתרחש מאחורי הקלעים. ועדיין, קשה להתעלם מהאפשרות שזה בדיוק מה שקרה: נתניהו הבטיח לטראמפ שישראל תצטרף למערכה נוספת מול איראן, ובתמורה ביקש להבטיח את תמיכתו הפוליטית לקראת הבחירות.

Every so-called "terrorist" in the Global South was born in the rubble of a U.S. operation. The planes flew. The bombs dropped. The orphans grew up. And then Washington asked, "Why do they hate us?"

Gaza will haunt this century the way Vietnam haunted the last. Not because it was unseen. Because it was seen and allowed. Because the victims spoke and were ignored. Because the world had every chance to say no. And chose comfort. Chose caution. Chose career safety. Chose the scroll. That is the true scandal of Gaza.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II speaking at the UN General Assembly: "No one in this Assembly should assume its (Israel) ambitions stop at Palestine. This Israeli government's expansionist appetite is now a regional threat. And today, Syria is the warning the international community is choosing not to see. Repeated incursions, creeping territorial expansion, new facts imposed on the ground, including around vital water resources. Step by calculated step, Israel is testing how far it can go. And every time the international community looks away, Israel learns that it can go even further, across borderlines and legal limits."

When ever I read the word "globalist" I know the rest of the post will be braindead nonsense. Commodity markets are global. Trade is global. Money circles the globe instantly, and non-stop. Every human with retirement savings or an investment account is a Globalist. Fuck off.

"you"? there have been millions of Americans who'd opposed T***p vehemently in 2016 & since. blaming us for MAGA is like blaming citizens of North Korea trapped in their country. you may not think it could ever happen in Canada but--it can. & you will say, "how did it happen?"

And you’d be wrong because you assholes elected him twice. First time was tolerable. Second time = never again can we trust you, your culture or your govt. End of story.

Has Israel apologized for murdering thousands and thousands of innocent women and children? Be so for real. Fuck the genocide. Fuck Israel. Fuck the IDF. Arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. FREE PALESTINE.
Has @edsheeran apologized yet for ruining the evening of so many Jewish fans this weekend?

Stop whenever you see wealth “per capita.” I saw this example great elsewhere: if you have Elon Musk in a room with 999 homeless people, the average wealth will be $1 billion. Do median wealth instead. It would be zero dollars. That room is not full of 1000 billionaires.

Yesterday the President revealed the secret of national wealth. “We don’t need their product. So if we cut off trade with that country, we just made $40 billion. You do a few countries like that, and we become a big money machine.” It is a lovely theory, provided you have never bought anything in your life. Follow the logic and it only gets better. Stop importing aluminium and you have saved a fortune, plus you no longer need to make cars or aircraft, which saves even more. Stop buying gallium and germanium and the chip factories can close, which frees up the electricity you were about to stop buying anyway. Every cancelled purchase is a profit. Do a few countries like that, he says, and the machine hums. What it actually produces is emptier shelves, dearer everything, and a superpower proudly announcing it has never been richer, having bought, and built, nothing at all. He is the president of The United States of America.
Trump: "We don't need their product. So if we cut off trade with that country, we just made $40 billion. You do a few countries like that, and we become a big money machine." 🙃

"It's beneath their office". Simple and devasting reply by our Canadian Prime Minister to the American trolls.
Q: What do you make of U.S. cabinet secretaries insulting the Canadian military? Carney: It's beneath their office.

"“When the Americans stop doing memes, stop throwing shade, stop trying to be tough, and start being serious about having those discussions, we can have those discussions,” That's like asking Trump to apologize for the very first time in his life. theglobeandmail.com/politics…
