@mccaffreyr3 You can’t possibly be surprised General. This was predictable from Day 1.
What might not be predictable will be the backlash against Trump and Vance. Rubio was/is smart to stay in the background.
@sfrantzman@kampeas Because the U.S. government does not understand the Middle East. What works in Europe has no relation to the Middle East. Whereas MADD worked with the USSR the mindset of extremism takes that away. The U.S. does not understand that. Which is why Iran is now stronger.
@sfrantzman Trump is playing the short (and desperate) game and Iran is playing the long game. Proof of that is Iran shot missiles and drones to Jordan/Kuwait/Bahrain. But not at Israel. Unless Trump changes his tactics/strategy he (and the world) will lose. No awareness of how the ME works
@luciecmz@Joyce_Karam Where were you Oct 7th? Did you comment on Hamas raping women? Beheading civilians? Using civilians in Gaza as human shields? Were you demonstrating against Hamas when they strangled the babies they held as hostages in cold blood? Of course not. Didn’t fit your narrative.
