Trump needs to listen to Doug McGregor's words (but probably won't):
"Again, if President Trump just says, 'Look, I've had it. I didn't start this war, this was never my idea. I oppose it. I am ending all military aid to Ukraine immediately. I am withdrawing all US citizens--in and out of uniform--from Ukraine immediately."
If Trump doesn't do this on day one, Ukraine will be a noose around his neck.
"Do you want this [wars in Ukraine or Eastern Europe] to reoccur? Sadly, we seem to have people in charge in Washington who are perfectly delighted to see this reoccur again and again and again."
This reminds me of Yeats' poem "The Second Coming" regarding WW1.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Why is war so damn desirable by these ghouls? Why is the US meddling in all of these overseas conflicts that should be of no great interest to us? Wilson entered WW1 after promising Americans he wouldn't, and 150,000 young men died - for nothing. Does anyone want to send their children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews to eastern Europe to die? To the Levant? To Iran? To Taiwan?
The US is stirring up chaos everywhere you look. The only thing that will stop it is when the Department of War's budget is cut in half.
It is unpleasant to contemplate the fact that our Greatest Ally wants to strike Iran before January 20. It is bitter to contemplate that Trump may be willing to do so after January 20. After all, this isn't Ukraine we're talking about here; he promised his MAGA base he would contramand those terrible neocons and end their terrible war in Ukraine in one day.
Whereas war in the Levant is a small family matter about real estate on which we all agree and so do not need to discuss further.
Mark W wrote at the beginning of his piece about Mr Trump having to navigate:
“the treacherous international waters”.
Of course, the people who put the treachery into the waters in the first place are the same people who worked for him in his previous administration, who tried to bankrupt him, brand him a criminal and a rapist, send him to jail and shoot his brains out. And they are all American citizens (some with dual Israeli citizenship).
For example, how did William P Barr get to become the Attorney General. Barr was so deeply tied to the deep state that his career even began at CIA. 1971-1979. Terry Reed & John Cummings book COMPROMISED published circa 1990's, Chapter 17, The New Covenant, discusses William P Barr aka Robert Johnson first face to face meeting with Terry Reed. This was the famous "Bunker Meeting" outside Little Rock, AK at Camp Robinson, where there were all kinds of interesting people there?
Weren’t the American people dragged kicking and screaming into WWI and then again into WWII? I mean before both wars the American public had no interest or desire to enter into them. Wilson lied and ran for election on the promise to keep us out of WWI and it still isn’t clear to me how FDR maneuvered us to fight the Germans after the Japanese bombed us. Or as John Belushi famously said in Animal House, we didn’t surrender after the Germans bombed us at Pearl Harbor.
The 9/11 bombers were Saudi so we bombed Afghanistan. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, so we declared war on Germany and promised to "Get Hitler first".
The 9/11 bombers were Saudi and were "taught how to fly" in Florida. Daniel Hopsicker revealed the entire training idiocy in his book Welcome to Terrorland . Mohammed Atta & the 9/11 Cover-up in Florida. Anyone who believes the government's story on this event probably already has submitted to be vaccinated & boosted several times over !
I tuned out national/geopolitical news/commentary for six months or so, the heat of campaign season, when it was obvious that Trump would win. Couldn't handle all the nattering and speculation. Now I feel it may be time for another break, a fortnight or so. I'll start paying attention again when there's something substantial to spectate.
Russia has been fighting in Ukraine with minimal forces while maximizing Ukraine causalities. For a while Ukraine has the largest army in Europe, and their back end is NATO. Not very third world like.

Didn’t Trump appoint Bolton last term? Why would anyone expect anything else other than continuation of Neocon policy.
If Trump pushes back against the ‘security state’ then we’ll see the real assassination attempts.
thanks for these. I haven't had time to watch much lately. You're providing a valuable service.

Where do the dancing Israeli's fit?
Amen to that first sentence!
