Two of the pillars of US politics are the food and drug industry and the arms industry. AMERICANS WOULD DO WELL TO REMEMBER AND PONDER THE FOLLOWING TWO TRUTHS: THERE IS NO CORPORATE PROFIT IN HAVING A HEALTHY POPULATION AND THERE IS NO CORPORATE PROFIT IN HAVING PEACE IN THE WORLD.

Trump gets stuff done in the Middle East because they follow the exact same modus operandi geopolitically as he does: have some money to grease the wheels, totally transactional goals, zero ideology or morals involved in the actual negotiation, no future commitment expected unless you’re weaker.

I wonder if Iran was informed by the US and moved their enriched uranium to another spot… [to minimize escalation, while hopefully giving Israel some peace of mind for a while].

from chat gpt
Sources confirm that Benjamin Netanyahu has a long-standing close relationship with the Kushner family, and has stayed at their home in New Jersey on visits to the US in the past. In fact, Jared Kushner, who later served as a top advisor on Middle East affairs to President Trump and Netanyahu’s father-in-law, even gave up his bedroom for Netanyahu to sleep in when he visited.
This relationship is rooted in a history of friendship and mutual support, including financial contributions from Charles Kushner, Jared’s father, to Netanyahu’s political campaigns. The families’ close ties were further highlighted in a 2017 profile revealing details of their acquaintance, including a visit where Netanyahu shared a meal with the family and played soccer with Jared’s younger brother.
While the sources don’t provide recent information about Netanyahu staying with the Kushners, the historical evidence of this close relationship is well-documented.

Its not hard to figure out people follow the money……congress always wants war because they make billions off of defense contractors and they don’t have to send their kids to die. The poor of this country will always pay the price of blood in the rich man’s war….This is what happens when your government is owned and sold to the highest bidder….

I am 100% certain when China and Russia saw the Iran weapons shopping list they both phoned Yetti Yah Who and explained what would be left of Tel Aviv post that tonnage being deployed. Even mentally insane sorts know what death looks like.
