Okay, but since when has the majority opinion ever mattered? Before World War I, the majority of Americans were against entering the war—same with World War II. The same goes for the Russians regarding the Bolshevik Revolution. Even support for the American War of Independence was murky, to say the least. These surveys mean nothing.

There is never going to be a two-step solution simply because Israel doesn’t want that and they never have. They have paid lip service to this for decades, but they never intend to do so.

Back in 1947 when they were discussing the establishment of the Israeli, the Arabs, and/or Palestinians in the area to get along with the Jews proposed that they all become part of the new state of Israel . That was immediately rejected because the Anglo Zionist Cabal did not want that at all..

It took me a while to understand that Israel is basically in an apartheid state . Wow there are non-Jews that live in Israel they are not citizens of Israel. To be a citizen of Israel you have to be 100% Jewish on both sides of your family.

The economy of Israel is in ruins literally , in the almost 2 years of war in Gaza over 50,000 businesses in Israel have closed. Investment capital has fled. They are literally bankrupting themselves out of existence. Without the United States, they would collapse within a week..

My prediction at this point is that the state of Israel as we know it right now, probably will no longer exist in the foreseeable future. The Houthis are bombing Israel it will, Iran can literally unleash a barrage of 500 missiles at any point and take all of Israel’s nuclear capability out.

Then you have Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Egyptian army just waiting for the opportunity to roll in and finish Israel off and I believe that’s possible.

Trump has all of this absolute bluster, thinking that our military somehow can go into the Middle East and help Israel win a war. We just don’t have the capability or the resources.

Now last night, I see a report where Trump is talking about building a military base in Israel, expanding our overseas bases, that is a catastrophic mistake. I have to wonder if all of these advisors around Trump are living in in the real world they’re living in a fantasy situation. it’s bad enough that we have all these overseas bases in the Middle East that can be taken out or attacked at any point in time by Iran and anyone else with the capabilities they have.

Put a United States military base directly on the front line in a Bullseye puts us irrevocably into the war directly. I don’t see any debate about this.

I hate to say this, but the more I look at it the more it seems Trump is becoming more and more erratic and what he says, and what he does.

His threatening of more tariffs, Particularly against the BRICS nations and others that don’t cave into his bullying are self defeating. we are going to find ourselves increasingly isolated worldwide. New trading blocks are forming and they don’t need the United States.

What Trump is going to end up doing is destroying our economy as it is , push us into a recession. I keep saying Trump has blown all of his goodwill and political capital. The implosion of his presidency increases by the day.
