As a fan of field hockey, I can only view this phone call in a positive light.

I wonder the political calculation of Netanyahu ‘an actions.

At least Trump is taking to Putin.

I would suggest that Netanyahu's actions were actually *Trump's* actions--timed to happen right before the phone call date. More brinkmanship that threatens special Russian and BRICS interests. I'll bet Putin wasn't amused.

I would imagine, as Mark suggests, that resuming the war on Gazan innocents and hurling bombs at the very sophisticated Houthis doesn’t inspire in Putin great confidence going forward…

With how any decision by a U.S. President can be reversed by his successor, Libya Khadify’s deal to stop supporting terrorism and getting nukes is a great example, trust in U.S. promises is limited and Putin is no dummy.

I’m more curious on the Israeli politics driving Netanyahu’s decision to restart hostilities.

Again, per the WSJ, that was Trump's decision.

Just pathetic. oh well, just so Netanyahu gets everything he wants. hey, am I now eligible to be deported? can I pick where? Novgorod is nice. Suzdal too.

The “exceptional nation” is ruled by entities that will not permit it to stop killing, bombing, and maiming. Just digest that slowly. Peace is unacceptable to the U.S. and its rulers.
