Netanyahu and Trump have much in common, but I doubt Bibi wanted Trump to go where he went.

It will be important to see how Putin and Xi react.

"there will be a tragic period of violence against the USA and US "friends" like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE and Jordan"

I don't think so; they won't be our friends if we try this. Look for another OPEC boycott.

I think this will tear apart Arab countries which will regress into violent factions. Destabilization of Western Asia.

I could be wrong.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be ... abolished?
With Israel’s Netanyahu alongside, Trump adds Gaza to his list of colonial ambitions.
-Dana Milbank

Genocide Joe” never looked so good.

Gaza peace protesters rallied Americans by the hundreds of thousands to oppose President Joe Biden and vote “uncommitted” in Democratic primaries. They heckled Vice President Kamala Harris and disrupted her events. On Election Day, Donald Trump prevailed in the majority-Arab town of Dearborn, Michigan. And across the country, many young voters stayed home or even voted for Trump — likely because, in part, they were disenchanted that the Biden administration had been insufficiently tough on Israel.

One of the weird things about history is the perspective.

I considered Reagan an extremist. Until Donald Trump was President. Now I see Reagan in a different light. Well... not entirely, mostly because of his actions as Governor in my state.

plus, as Ron posted earlier, "he has no class, no charm,
no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth,
no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness,
no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily
enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously
blessed."
