Like so many others, so many readers here, I suppose I should’ve seen this coming. There was nothing in Trump’s background that suggested decency or a sense of shame, and yet most of us want to believe in a person’s ability to seek redemption, to change for the better. Many of us thought that Trump 1.0, while imperfect in some important respects, was encouraging enough in other important respects—promises kept—to warrant supporting Trump again. What a rude awakening Trump 2.0 has been.
The no holds barred support for genocide and ethnic cleansing, the failure to engage meaningfully with Russia, the reliance on Ugly American bullying everywhere. That’s just for starters. It should have prepared us for Trump’s sneak attack on Iran while negotiations were ongoing, which was accompanied by bully boy braggadocio—until Israel had to beg for an end to the war. And now:
In the past 24 hours alone, Israel has bombed:
• Palestine 
• Lebanon 
• Syria 
• Tunisia 
• Qatar 
And just days ago, Yemen.
The assassination of Hamas political leaders who had gathered in Doha, Qatar, to discuss “Trump’s” “peace” proposal has all the earmarks of a Trump sneak attack, just as in the case of Trump’s sneak attack on Iran. Of course I understand that Trump was acting under control, as an Anglo-Zionist agent. Trump’s “peace proposal” wasn’t his own—it was given to him as part of the bait to gather the Hamas leaders in one place. But Trump could have said no.
Make no mistake. This was Trump. I’ve said in the past that Trump is totally owned by the Anglo-Zionists, but that doesn’t deprive him of free will. No decency, non shame. The Jewish Nationalists, of course, claim this is only retaliation for the recent bus attack near Jerusalem, but typically don’t want to talk about the tens, even hundreds, of thousands of dead in Gaza, the wanton destruction, the starvation. That’s all on Trump, too.
Initial reports, laughably, suggested that Israel acted on its own, but that mask has already dropped:

So US regime lured HAMAS officials to a meeting for cease fire talks to Doha - and then greenlighted war criminals in Tel Aviv to murder them.
Like they did with Iran.
You can not trust US regime - no need for any deals with them.

2 days ago, Trump issued a short proposal and warning designed to compel Hamas’ exiled leadership to gather in Doha
Hamas said at the time, “It looks like [Trump’s proposal] was written by the Israelis”
When Hamas met today in Doha, US air defenses in Qatar stood down
Israeli officials have told the Jerusalem Post the US greenlit the decapitation strike
The negotiations have reached their death knell as Israel moves toward its Final Solution in Gaza. And the Trump admin has once again shown its true face as a subsidiary of the Zionist regime.
A lawless axis of messianic genocidal gangsterism spans seamlessly from Tel Aviv to Washington.
Regarding the Israeli drone attack on the Gaza Aid flotilla in Tunis harbor, US ISR flights were active in the region, although they turned their transponders off:
MenchOsint @MenchOsint
 Israel carried out a terrorist attack on a flotilla, the main boat of the Global Sumud Flotilla, the "Family", as it was anchored in Tunis.
To understand how, we go back on September 2, when two Israeli Spy Plane - namely a Gulfstream Nahshon Eitan & a Nahshon Shavit were spotted gathering intelligence on Tunisia, while two Israeli C-130 type cargo plane landed in Malta & in the American Sigonella Air Base.
The Israelis have a policy of always denying sabotage act, but the most likely scenario with our evidences is that on Sept. 2, they gathered intelligence on Tunisian defenses & other military assets, so that they could safely send the commandos that were deployed to Sigonella Air Base & Malta a week later, when the flotilla was on their way to Tunis
An additional indicator of the Israeli involvement is the US flight of a MQ-4C Triton over the area, most likely to support the Israeli commando.
The aim of this attack? Deter the activists from continuing towards Gaza.
What country can trust Trump? Russia? China? India? Iran? Venezuela? Anyone? Can Americans trust Trump—when he’s patently lying about what’s behind what looks like an impending war on Venezuela? It’s very obviously NOT about drugs of any sort—it’s about resources.

Venezuela’s reserves represent the raw inputs for energy dominance, industrial supply chains, and agricultural resilience. A state that can feed itself, fuel itself, and finance itself, especially one aligned with Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran, poses a structural threat to U.S. leverage in the hemisphere.
For Washington, letting such a country operate outside its orbit is unacceptable. The “counter-narcotics” narrative is the casing; the payload is coercive economic realignment. Every warship, sanction, and diplomatic squeeze is aimed at forcing open the vault of oil, gas, gold, land, and water, because in the logic of empire, sovereignty over that resource matrix is a privilege, not a right.
Look, Putin has made it clear that he understood that the Anchorage meeting with Trump was no more than a Trump-requested photo op. Putin will have shared that with Xi. Iran, with Russian and Chinese help, is preparing for Trump’s next attack.
What this brings to mind is the whole question of why Israel allowed Oct 7 to happen:
Thomas Keith @iwasnevrhere_
Yedioth Ahronoth, citing the engineer of the Shalit deal, admits the Doha strike didn’t just target Hamas leaders, it torpedoed the most advanced phase of negotiations for a prisoner exchange since the war began.
By hitting the negotiating table mid-session, Tel Aviv effectively signed the death warrant of its own captives, choosing political theater and vengeance over any realistic path to their release.
It’s an act that underscores how expendable those prisoners become the moment they clash with Netanyahu’s war calculus.

What is the value of an American security umbrella and hosting a US base on your soil if the United States itself conspires to attack you?
That is a question that all GCC leaders are asking themselves today, given that they have put all of their security eggs in the US basket.
It should have been clear to them for some time now that this day would come, since the US has, since October 7, lifted ALL constraints on Israel.
