If Trump would only get news summary clips of alternative media analyst writers, like yourself, The Duran, all of Daniel Davis and Judge Napolitano's rotating guests, Alex Krainer, and Profs. Meershimer, Doctorow, and Sachs---the light bulb might light up his mind to recognize the darkness of falsity presented to him by his own advisors.

Today is Monday, 28 April---so the stupid loss of two $72 billion Super Hornets with "their trucks" being credited to the same Houthis that Anglo-Zionists and "global Israel Inc." declare to be Amalek, should switch on the light of reason in Trump's mind, prompting him to think hard about the nature of treachery and the Zionist-Jewish Cause. I think that this "cause" permeates every country in the world through the machinations of "financial control strings" by puppeteers upon every willing wanabe leader who craves power and prestige. Does Trump know where is his place in the puppeteers' plan? DOES TRUMP KNOW HE'S BEING USED AS A PUPPET?

Specifically, your new segment on American-British G4S security service corporation transformed into an autonomous political "region" or "state" within a State (or two). This set-up reminds me of ISIS, Al-Quaida, and every militarized terrorist organization established and nurtured by U.S.A. Recently Alex Krainer told Nima Alkhorshid that Tony Blair said publicly that British intelligence persons are "in place" within every government of every country in the world! Surely just like the US Intelligence agency personnel. THE CONTROLLERS/PUPPETEERS are not only from AIPAC. You have asked in previous articles, "Who is controlling Trump?" Are they long-living titans of finance who do not seek publicity but do have mighty power and mighty will to rule ALL of the world.

What's libertarian in forcing nations to cave? The word you were looking for is "mercantilism". "The fundamental problem, as it seems to me, is that Trump and his team view international relations as governed almost exclusively by libertarian type considerations—all nations can be forced to cave when their economic or military interests are at stake."

An Iran War Would Consume Trump's Presidency

I think that would be true. The only winners are the Anglo-Zionists and Israel, but I repeat myself. His progressive enemies, if they don't continue to hold the gun to their own head with outrageously stupid adherence to perversion, crime and corruption, would gleefully retake charge and enforce draconian policies against their enemies. They don't get caught up in following the constitution or human decency, they want power. This would likely kick-off internal violence on another level not seen in this country since the 19th century. IMHO.

I do believe President Trump is not an Israeli puppet (when push comes to shove). Thanks for the link, IJM.

Noting Reuters April 27 reporting

"The president will take an extended trip abroad next month, visiting Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, and continue to push for peace in Russia's war with Ukraine."

===========================

I opine these 3 are one of Trump's current Both A) greatest needs and B) greatest concerns Are they pulling back - thus the need for Trump to fly there personally ?

The 3 must be wondering - re: Iran Israel - are we making the right play supporting US

or should we Go Neutral - I believe anyone in their right mind would go Neutral

[ though they still seem to be allowing airspace, airports and supplies for US in the region]

- and Trump will need them desperately if he attacks Iran

My speculation ---- The Proof in Ukraine / has them wondering what to do

Remembering of course how well Russia equipment weapons and defensive echnology did during and currently in Ukraine

- much of the equipment outmatched US NATO equipment

- AND perhaps at 1/6th the cost to 1/10th the cost

China is up and coming of course in weaponry and technology though much of it unproven - much of it alleged high tech low cost ( comparatively to US ) eg: 6th generation jets

US far behind eg: No Hypersonic missile built for offensive use and or course No defensive capability Noting Russia has more than a few apparently eg: Kinzhal, Zircon, Oreshnik

Then you have Yemen - additional proof

The 3 must be wondering - are we making the right play supporting US

or should we Go Neutral

Trump desperately needs SA Q AND UAE to finish off Gaza if there are any hopes for the Kushner Seaside Resort .

.

Trump has to be begging them to continue to buy US weapons continue to support US and Israel --- my bet he will be giving the farm away whatever they want to keep them

Great! I just hope/wish that Trump can find some people he has appointed within his administration who actually want to negotiate with China and come to a win/win resolution to potential conflict between the two nations, rather than those who want to PROMOTE conflict and war between the two nations.

“I tend to disagree with Simplicius regarding the idea that Trump lacks a “real strategy.”

Whether he had or has a strategy or not is simply a diversion from facing the real problem - which is that neither he nor any of his pretend economic experts *understand* China. AT ALL. Their working assumption is ancient history - that China needs the US more than we need China. The total opposite is true now and by a very wide margin. This is ineptitude of colossal scale.

And due to his Stage 4 ego he can’t now admit he had no idea what he was doing and apologize so now Xi owns him. And I suspect that Xi will drag this out in a way that knocks this country’s overinflated self-image down 12 or 14 pegs or so. And the world will ultimately be a better place for it.

Chinese people today view Americans as simpletons who know absolutely nothing about the rest of the world. They view us not with envy or resentment but with sort of a detached amusement - as one might view those misguided folks on the down escalator when you’re going up. Because 99% of us are still blinded by our long-obsolete “USA - no1” mythology. As is Trump and his whole team.

“the proper word might be “impulsive.”

Sorry, the proper word here is inept. As in completely lacking the skills & abilities necessary to do the job he was elected to do.

Analysis with a hopeful bias is no longer really analysis. Trump as the “The Little President That Could” is probably best left for children’s bedtime stories

I still maintain that Trump does have a strategy. But it's important to understand that his strategy is not one that was freely chosen from a range of possible options. The option he has chosen is really the only one that could possibly maintain American Greatness in something like the way it has been. What Simplicius calls impulsive is really just Trump saying: I have to try it now because I think I can get away with it now, whereas later it won't even be possible.

" President Donald Trump misjudged Beijing "

I get the feeling Trump completely underestimated how much Russia and China have learned via the sanctions on Russia - hands on experience -

and how China with all the threats of US attacking China - example in link below - has been preparing for years for decreased or cut off trade or sanctions

G4S... Used to provide security to vans delivering cash to ATMs.... Using overweight ex policemen to provide poor security.

That was 20 years ago, so I don't know what they have morphed into now..

But they did not seem an elite mercerery force at that point in time....

It's not a stretch to think some of these security outfits were re-jiggered as private army contractors. I suspect they were sold to big money interests who re-imagined them into fighting forces and political connections got them massive and very profitable government contacts.

Hold up, I thought bad things like private armies like Wagner Group only happened in Russia.

Also,

"Following the targeted killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, Iranian investigators accused G4S of providing intel to the Pentagon regarding his location prior to the drone strike. At the time, G4S was contracted to protect Soleimani at Baghdad International Airport." Okey doke.

In Tucker Carlson's. interview of hysteria-prone former sen. Curt Weldon, Weldon applauded Trump's killing of Soleimani. Weldon claimed Soleimani was responsible for sheltering bin Laden in Tehran/Baluchestan, therefore, needed to be punished.

https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-curt-weldon

Will Tucker interview Ron Johnson and megaphone Johnson's claims that 'there's something fishy about 9/11 conclusions'? If so, what position will that put bin Laden in -- he claimed he was not responsible for 9/11. If that's the case and becomes broadly acknowledged, then whether Soleimani did or did not shelter bin Laden is irrelevant; the murder of Soleimani is a war crime that Trump committed and boasts about.

Mr. Wauck, I really enjoy your Substack and it is probably my favorite one discussing geopolitics. I had not heard of the explosion at the Iranian port. Thanks. You have consistently maintained that President Trump possesses a "real strategy". You have also pointed out, to your credit, many instances where it appears to be failing. Do you see any areas or examples where President Trump/the US has executed this strategy successfully? (I agree with and support a handful of domestic actions such as restricting funding to USAID and their global anti-US/anti-human activities. I am thinking about interactions in a more explicitly international foreign policy setting.) Thank you very much.

Fascinating article with the view Oct 7 was due to hubris over Israel’s technology edge in surveillance and in a high tech fence, so other areas in the military were neglected and more focused on preventing stealing of weapons by locking them up, and observing religious holidays which resulted in half staffing.

https://www.commentary.org/articles/jonathan-foreman/how-israel-failed-on-october-7/

No mention of how tightly controlled firearms were in Israel. Only 2% of civilians had firearms:

Nor mention of the theory Netanyahu allowed Oct 7th to happen as a casus belli to take over Gaza.

President Trump can be forgiven for being a little confused. Sometimes he's the president of a nation--the US; nominally a constitutional republic. At others he's the military czar holding the bag for the atrocities of the Anglo-American-Zionist Empire which is dying in the sands of Gaza and the black earth of Ukraine. If he tilts toward the US, the imperial zombies like Z. and N. throw bombs to get him back in line. Will he be able to find his way out of this mess? Who knows. Wonder what J.D. is thinkin'.
