“I’ve got to get Israel to calm down now,” Trump said as he left the White House. “Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I’ve never seen before, the biggest load that we’ve seen. They’ve been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.”

    Stop the war. No more bombs.

    Israel need to keep dragging the US into war, its the only way they can continue to grow and become greater Israel in the hopes that they can become the next super power, they will discard the US once they have wasted all of their military power.

    It’s the most cognizant thing I think I’ve heard him say. The “fuck” pulls it together and makes him sound almost normal.

    Almost.

      I tend to agree with you. At the back of my mind, I’m wondering if Trump has the chaotic energy to accidentally break up calcified conflicts and actually make a difference on this one

        He should probably not have participated in the bombing of Iran then. Him trying to act as some kind of neutral arbiter right now is completely insane, when he has just dropped bombs on one side of the conflict. This is not how anything works.

        There’s an argument for that.

        Trump also has incredible political capital. He can literally do no wrong with his base, strongarm congress, and ignore opposition; it gives him paths any other sitting president wouldn’t even dream of.

        This is the seductive charm of dictators. They’re really effective at, and generally put in power to clean up messes, or cut through dysfunctional, stagnant political systems.

          That’s not really true though, most dictators are hired to fix something and end up wildly inept at it. Hitler was meant to get of immigrant labor and fix the economy, he ruined the economy and didn’t really succeed at the immigrant thing to get just suddenly became free extremely expendable labor and the test he have to friends that wouldn’t raise a stink an not how badly he’s fucked them up.

          They’re almost to a man extremely convincing and personable liars.

    Trump is so used to declaring bankruptcy that he thought declaring a ceasefire worked the same way, something you do unilaterally.

    Remember when Israel kept yanking the football away from the Biden administration every time that Biden announced new Gaza ceasefire talks? At this point, you’d have to be a fucking fool to believe a word that slithers out of Nettanyahu’s head. Israel is working damn hard on burning as much political capital as it possibly can as fast as it can. Of course, they’re not doing it to do something cool like fighting climate change or build a moon base, it’s simply to murder as many people as they can as fast as they can.

    "They’ve been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.”

    I honestly to goodness can’t think of the last time I heard Trump drop an F bomb. I think he’s actually rather cross with them

      It’s the only time I’ve heard him say something that sounded like honesty. Very strange. I laughed out loud.
