Americans, all people, myself included would too often have fun and be comfortable than be awake and know truth, sadly!

With Trump in office, and everyone in the crosshairs, Americans much more, and the world need not sleep.. It is better to hear the bad news while awake rather than hearing when one wakes up..

Truth or sarcasm?

I would argue that this is no longer foreign policy, but thuggery. Use economic, and, if we are to believe the Palestine comments, military pressure to blackmail "weaker" states into submission. It's not hugely different from what's been going on ever since, just more out in the open, and less glossed over by good-guys propaganda.

And so far, it seems to be mostly working - until someone starts calling the tariff bluff, and replies with "alright then, go ahead mate, see how that works out for you".

Certainly time to stock up the strategic popcorn reserve.

Here's a thought. Might this goofy Gaza plan simply be a ploy to keep the ceasefire going on an indefinite basis?

I think the truth might be determined by how wide was Netanyahoo’s grin.

as someone with long experience in mineral exploration business, Trump's rare earth thing is delusional. First, the world market for rare earths is microscopic: US imports total about $200 million per year. Second, the so-called rare earth deposit in Ukro government literature Novopoltavske is a low-grade phosphate deposit (apatite) with low values of various rare earths. The deposit appears to be in an aquifer and thus difficult to mine. It's been known since Soviet era and never developed because it was uneconomic and remains uneconomic. Third, there are better rare earth deposits in many other countries, including Brazil, Canada, Vietnam (not to mention Russia and China). Fourth, the Novopoltavske deposit, such as it is, is well within Russian-controlled area of Zaporizhia, north of Berdiansk.

The talk of Ukraine rare earths being "security" for anything are delusional and embarrassing.

Israel is batting a pretty good average as of late, Syria gone and occupied, Hezbollah isolated and Gaza potentially ethnically cleansed.

It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see Iran is being lined up next.

I really think this is a giant wait and see. Stay tuned. Who thought a week ago USAID would be dismantled and thrown to the curb. Get your popcorn out. I am confident Trump is making moves we don’t even understand with our limited information.

Jeff Sachs' concluding words to Glenn Diesen:

The US can stop wars but it can't win them and shouldn't fight them.

He does have a point. The evidence and data make his statement a truism that should inform us all about the true motives for our actions on the world state. American exceptionalism went out the window a long time ago so, how do we regain our honor and pride?

Latest: Trump says he'll send troops to Gaza if there's resistance. Pure insanity.

I believe you are wrong Ned. What would the narrative be?

Agreed - not so long ago Jared Kushner was filmed saying Gaza was a real estate opportunity and lo and behold here we are..

It looks like his desires are being fulfilled. We’ll pay for his wealth accumulation and any profits on development and resources off the coast will accrue to the same people who will oppress us once again when Trump is OOO.

Interesting setup as we watch prophecy unfold. Who actually does know the future? Who originated the message apostle paul revealed through scriptural revelations? Who changed what our children learn in public schools about so much on purpose? When ever did any such intelligent individual ever did a double take and changed his mind more accurately than Saul? What else did Saul reveal as Paul about atomic energy now confirms? Paul reported, speaking after being blinded, that got his attention, then supernaturally healed, about Christ Jesus, He is before all- - things, He holds all things together! In the book, The age of radiance, by Craig Nelson, also author of Rocket Men, we can read of the developers of atomic understanding, energy and the bomb. Very interesting reading if purposely pursued. Beginning of the last paragraph on page 59 we can read. Teaching quantum theory as Rome’s first atomic physicist, Enrico was nicknamed Pope, since it took so much profound faith to believe that matter was energy, energy was matter, and that both were sometimes particles and other times waves. All that, to give every sincere searcher of truth food for thought. Also, consider, who am I! Why did evolutionary theory prevail in public schools? Through all my public schooling, 12th grade, the Bible was read and respected in the classrooms! What happened and why?- -!

Unless this is another convoluted 5D chess move by Trump. At first blush it's definitely OMG awful, but could it may be another baffle with BS maneuver?

I am beginning to disagree with Trump and the 5D chess stuff. He sounded like an arrogant and heartless ghoul only cared about the money. Gee, sounded like a Zionist.

One of those clips where you have to make sure you're not hallucinating.

Donald Trump says Palestinians ought not be allowed to return to Gaza because "why would they want to return? That place has been hell" — next to the grinning man who made it hell.

DOOCY: Would Palestinians have the right to return to Gaza if they left during the rebuilding?

TRUMP: It would be my hope that we could do something really nice, really good, where they wouldn't want to return
