Looking for a Win. If the Russians take this approach, they may be able to cooperative look for a framework than can be presented to the US as a Trump Win. I.e. they package a new security framework, acceptable to them, as a victory for Trump. Maybe even a series of negotiations where Trump is allowed to wrangle Russia to a pre-agreed endpoint. Trump twisting Russia’s arm to get to an endpoint they wanted all along.

Governing doesn’t include color commentary, so the opaqueness of trump’s actions or at least the mixed signals is fine by me. If the average Joes knew what was going on in detail, I think that’d be a real problem.

McGregor was a speaker at lifelong Progressive Parasite Bret Weinstein's "Resistance" event in the Fall of 2024, he joined the enemy.

IDK; I feel there is something to the "small win" strategy. It obviously affects Trump's approval ratings which are fantastic right now. Influence is Trump's game with the MAGA mindset as the backdrop. Now if we can get him to focus on inflation soon...

Never forget that Britain's MI-6 was up to its eyeballs in the Russia Hoax during Trump's first term, and this covert OP was the genesis of all the horrors that played out subsequently, including the impeachments and Special Prosecutor investigations. And that subversion continued into the 2024 election when Starmer sent political operatives to assist the Harris campaign. Trump has every reason to want accountability for that treachery. Losing Canada seems fair to me.

As for the Iran issue, Russia has consummated a new security agreement with Iran that effectively makes it impractical for the US and Israel to attack them. With Russia's assistance, Iran would win the brief conflict handily and expose US military impotence on the world stage. So no dice on that gambit.

Absolutely.

I agree that war with Iran would be disastrous for MAGA. Higher prices at the pump, higher inflation, a media that sensationalizes every military setback and loss. Not to mention increased domestic terrorist threats. We have no idea how many truly bad hombres are amongst the millions of “migrants” allowed to enter unvetted. It would become an all consuming situation leading to cascading effects.

•IF• "if we makes allowances for the hyperbolic nature of Trumpian rhetoric..." THAT is an incredible art in and of itself!

Ending The Gaza war gets Israel out of a quagmire with a constant drip drip of casualties and economic costs, while giving Netanyahu and allies a scapegoat (If not for Trump, we would have destroyed Hamas).

Agreed. They yell and shout externally while internally the Israeli's are quietly relieved.

"I agree with you on this Mark."

Yes/No

I agree re Trump wanting peace everywhere. He spoke to Xi today and emphasized that, and wanting to work with others.

I totally disagree re bullshit Abe Accords. That was simply Kushner's effort to F*CK the Palestinians and it led DIRECTLY to the situation we have today. The Palestinians NEVER had a chance to make peace with Israel because ISRAEL DEFINES PEACE AS COMPLETE DISPOSSESSION. I didn't hear Macgregor say anything of the sort--in fact he has repeatedly said that the Israeli goal is Jewish Supremacy in the Middle East.

I'm fed up with your bullshit.

And Central Europe with Ukraine as big Israel funded off the backs of Americans in service to Zionist control of the World Island to accumulate the assets of the planet. MacKinder said, “he who controls the world Island controls the world.”
