I like the strategy. I think it makes sense and clearly it is effective. If the Democrats manage to get their act together they could potentially sell the lie that this is autocracy or some sh!t. They need an effective leader to tell them what to think and say, without a Dear Leader, they are rudderless. All cults need that strong person to compel the ideology.

No, as I have already stated time and again, Democrats crave war and conflict (mostly for the money they can derive) but Trump never started any wars, only pulled out people back and only created peace. He understands these people, they will only understand power, and the notion that all power only comes from physical threat is silly. The real threat is not going in there and fighting them, hell, they actually dont mind that.....fighting is core to their belief system. No the thing they actually fear is influence, and making sure they have it more than others.

Planning continues, and this entire notion of troops is something media keeps trying to sell, even though the admin already refuted it....but I get it....this is how to rile people up. All good. I might approach it differently than Trump, but then again, he has more experience managing real estate than anyone else in government, or this forearm, so I might be well advised to defer to him.

I disagree. If Palestinians were honest participants, then maybe. But no, if they prefer violence through terrorism, that option is off the table.....well, for now. If Palestidiots want to hunker down in that hell hole instead of accepting the Trump admins idea to temporarily relocate, fine, live with that decision....but no crying....no begging....no pretending you are sooooo put upon....when you had the chance to get out until it could be rebuilt.

Sure. I like the way he laid it out. Whether it is America, or some other composition of nations, we get a better end result. If you prefer to sustain the paradigm which has resulted in nothing but death and misery, that is fine, I want something new.

I understand. But I have spent years immersed in that region, working with government agencies. Nothing is simple. You and I will have to agree to disagree on the how here. I get that you object, and I think that is fine, would not begrudge you that. I am excited by this, I know that region and what is possible through this style of approach.

Its something of a game. You can start a negotiation in a variety of ways, depending on your opponent and the situation in general. Trump is leading with the threat here. NO ONE....in that arena wants the US to go into Gaza, hand in hand with Israel. NO ONE wants to be seen allowing that to happen. SO.....their first move is predictable, stand up and say no. All good, part of the plan and equation. Next move will be on the part of Trump and Bibi.....announce the plan, with clear actions behind it, get things to appear in motion. This forces the hand of the regional players, who will get working behind the scenes to discuss alternatives with Trump. Then Trump says "ok, fine, I am willing to back out so long as YOU all are willing to take the lead in restoring Gaza, ensuring no terrorists run the place or use it as a base". They wont want to do this of course, but will to avoid having Trump/US show them up. This is an oversimplification of what will transpire.

I think we can all get behind the ending of any discrimination. Great move.

I expect back and forth diplomatically for a while, then maybe some specific moves which suggest we are moving on the intent....and then more negotiations behind closed doors resulting in the players of the region taking the active role in handling the Palestidiots. Its simple, but it requires steady and emphatic pressure, I love this.

IMHO Trump laid down the warning, and now the players we need to own this situation have weighed in, and now its time to turn to them and tell them to step up, or we will. Negotiation, crafty.....love it.....

Perfect. This is just step 1. Now we let the negotiations unfold. Loving this.

The same feels that explained why Trump would win, and did win...but hey, ignore what is right in front of you if that helps.

I see it as brilliant, as I have already noted the intent was to compel/provoke the other players in the region and so far that has worked. We also need Jordan and Egypt to weigh in, and then we need to see negotiations to have THOSE nations take the lead. I am hoopeful.

Exactly. If I am to believe that all that money went to the stated activities, and none of it managed to make its way back to politicians by other means then I am not suspicious enough.

Perfect, this is one of the dominoes we need to move this forward.

Agree. The corruption will not die quietly. And the screaming coming from political circles is confirmation we are looking at the right things.

I prefer they not change a thing. Their behaviors, beliefs and values were rejected by most of America. If Trump can make even slight improvements in the lives of people, and the Democrats double-down on stupid, future elections can swing to the party of simple common sense, and people can continue to win.

Not weird at all, you wanted the conversation and I participated. It would be weird to ignore you. I think this back end hidden funding on the part of our government to media outlets might explain, in part, their deference to Democrats.

What doesn't? I mean, what a bunch of crybabies....

Of course you do.....and in kind I see yours as broken. So here we are, disagreeing.

Not propaganda, but I would not trust it out of the gate, though it does feed into my suspicions I find the source to be of uncertain quality. I would need to weigh this against other sources covering the same topic.

I inferred his point, did not listen, I need to set aside time to listen to him, it....takes time to listen to him

Beats me, the topic never came up

I like Jordan Peterson. I am a fan. I think he is not correct on this one.

I have worked with many agencies across time.....closely with Senators, White House.....DHS, HHS, Pentagon....and then some others like CMS. NIH, Postal, DOT...DOE.... The system is rather flawed. And I have worked with fantastic people, even the SES's. But I will tell you, there is no shortage of bad ones....
