Published date: 5 February 2025 02:09 GMT"On Tuesday, at a stunning joint press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump announced the US will be taking over and running Gaza, potentially for the foreseeable future.
“Everybody I’ve spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land, developing and creating thousands of jobs with something that will be magnificent,” Trump told reporters after a three-hour meeting with Netanyahu. "
A man like Trump only gets more unhinged as tie goes by and his increasingly insane behavior goes unchecked. We utterly failed to stop him in the US. Having completely conquered America he is now setting his sights on the World. If he knew history I wouldn’t be surprised to hear him comparing himself to Alexander the Great.
His past aversion to military adventures in the Middle East was literally the only thing I appreciated about him, but now that’s gone by the wayside.
Buckle up, world… Don’t underestimate him.
If America can do this, guess what other countries will take inspiration from it
Hexbear and .ml really owned the libs and Genocide Joe this time!
Where are all of the people that were complaining about Kamala and saying they didn’t vote or voted for trump because of gaza believing trump was going to be the better solution?
Many opposed Harris because she continued very active support to the Israeli genocide. Very few believed Trump would be better.
The vanity of not choosing a lesser evil.
All the clutched straws of misapplied “false dichotomy”, “showing the democrats that they must change”, etc are just intellectual dishonesty. It’s actively and knowingly choosing a greater evil by not flipping the lever in a real life trolley problem.
Some people don’t seem to understand, even in a situation where there are two evils, choosing the lesser evil is always beneficial. Politics is not just something you can boycott and cover your eyes from. It governs your life, so you have all to gain from participating in it and educating yourself about it, no matter which side you ultimately lie upon.
Exactly.
It was an opportunity to pick who would be in power for them to fight for improvement.
If they effectively meant what they claim, they’d push with heart and soul to get the lesser evil in poer and then immediately fight them tooth and nail for positive change.
“We need to fight for change. I prefer my opponent to devolve into oppressive fascism first, please.”
Oh but if kamala wanted to change her ways they’d have done it before or during the election /s
It’s not like they’d have been scared of being labelled an anti semite, like what happened to corbyn when he started critiquing israel 10 years ago.
In Australia, we even just had Pauline Hanson say this is a bad idea.
For context, she is a white Australian politician who once wore a burqa into parliament to make a point. Even she is against Trump on this one.
That’s because she’s just a fuckin ignorant moron. Not a fascist. Not yet, at least. Give her another few months of consuming the fascist propaganda machine.
Yeah, totally agree with you there.
Do think the Coalition are still going to go with the “Dutton will have the exact attitude of Trump” campaign?
The effect will be stability, but not in a good way. Like a pile of bricks being more stable than a wall because they can’t fall over.
US troops pacify enough that no government can grow there, and no foreign nations (Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, etc) can sponsor a puppet government.
Things that will be cracked down on: Any strong organization not endorsed and in leash of US military.
Things that will not be: Systemic problems like corruption, smuggling, organized crime, etc. And with no other organizing force allowed, nobody will be in power to handle those.
The result will be less violence and war, but a region that’s not sustainable or functioning. It’ll be less able to stand on its own after the US gets bored with it than it is now.
