Trump the Peacemaker?
There are still people who believe that canard, unfortunately.
The opposite is the case, as we saw with the recent attack on Yemen, which killed a lot of civilians.
Keep in mind that Yemen has not launched any new strikes on shipping in the Red Sea-- only said they would target Israeli vessels, if Israel continued to renege on its ceasefire deal – the one the US was supposed to guarantee.
As I said in when the ceasefire was being formulated, the Israelis had no intention of honoring a real ceasefire beyond the release of hostages in the Phase 1—and that they would not let the deal go to Phase 2.
And that is what happened.
Not “everybody”. Just the US and Israel.
Yemen has shown good faith by stopping its attacks in the Red Sea, so their recent announcement was a demand for Israel – and the US-- to keep their side of the bargain.
Trump responded with a pre-emptive strike—and also threats against Iran,
What does that mean?
It means that the ceasefire agreement killed a lot of innocent Yemenis.
More than that it proves yet again that US is agreement incapable — that it sees “peace” as the result of a win-lose game in which only it wins, without need for compromise.
The Houthis responded with missile strikes against the USS Truman aircraft carrier. At some point they will do some real damage. Eventually a missile gets through. It is only a matter of time before American sailors come home in body bags.
What a time for DOGE to be scrapping with the VA!
The message to the world is: never, ever trust the US.It does not matter what Trump says—his aim is the same as every other President – world domination.
Yes, America First. First in all respects. Amerika uber alles.
War in the ME? Coming soon! In full color.
In that other operational theatre, Trump begged Putin to spare the lives of the Ukrainian soldiers trapped in Kursk -- and of course, of the 30 to 50 NATO personnel trapped with them. Putin said he would – if they surrendered. But he also said the if they had broken Russia law they would be tried as terrorists, adding that mercenaries – which might technically include the NATO operators, are not protected under the Geneva Convention.
No matter, Zelensky says they are not trapped at all. No big deal. And the media are running with the story
As Dr. House says, “Everybody lies”.
if that is the case, the Russians can just go ahead and wipe out the thousands of Ukrainian troops … um…not surrounded in the Kursk area — as they are doing to all those who attempt to flee.
The Trump people apparently took Putin’s commitment to international law and the Geneva Convention as weakness. You may recall the HIghway of Death in Iraq.
Mercy is was not something Americans would do!
On the night of February 26–27, 1991, thousands of Iraqi soldiers and civilians were retreating to Baghdad, after a ceasefire was announced, when President George Bush ordered his forces to slaughter the retreating Iraqi army.
The Highway of Death was a template for an American “ceasefire”.
Trump is talking as though he will have a ceasefire any day now and mutual territorial concessions on the part of both Russia and Ukraine-- while continuing lethal support for Ukraine- and imposing more sanctions on Russia.
I feel a bout of cognitive dissonance coming on,
Forget “Trump Derangement Syndrome” — what we have to worry about is complete American Derangement. It can only get worse. It’s viral and spreading.
Coming soon,
I know I watch too much TV—but sometimes it provides metaphors for the mindless violence of the American republic,
Putin has seen the US do this kind of thing over and over again for 35 years. It is getting old. He believes in peace. He would compromise if he could— as he tried to do in Istanbul. But he realizes the West wants to eat his brains,
Trump’s plan seems to be to extricate the US from Ukraine so America can focus on China and Iran, while handing the job of confronting Russia and continuing the war to his European zombies,. Then when he has finished with Asia he can come back and scavenge among the debris. And eat brains?
But Russia is winning. The longer the SMO goes on,the stronger Russia becomes. The US can no longer win on land or sea or in the air without nuclear weapons.
The US and its zombie armies have already lost the war before it began.
I have friends….
This dog is 16 and my friend. His servant is a elderly man who pushes the stroller to the supermarket near my house. So, despite my bad personality, I DO have friends.
Ichi, who thinks he is a dog says this doggy is a “fake doggy”. Chappy likes the wheeled cart idea.
Please buy Ichi and Chappy coffee so they can buy a cart like this to push me around in.
We are dealing with vermin here. US has no interest in collateral damage such as the Iraquis murdered on the turkey shoot. Still less in the ethnic Russians murdered and persecuted and with every effort made to destroy their culture.I am Irish and I know how the British - the most evil state that ever existed- destroyed our culture the most ancient Celtic civilisation in Europe. Then they attacked our religion, schools priests masses etc but in the long run they failed. The Nazi junkie will also fail but he will have caused the most appalling carnage. I can think of no execution method that would punish him enough. But the huggers in the collective west should join him in his dying moments. They are just as guilty and I include neutral Ireland who did everything to prolong the carriage. The woman who is Taoiseach who is devoid of any principles had the nerve to assert that Trumps halt of weapons for Ukraine was a setback for peace. There is no bottom to this idiocy and it will all be in vain. US will never again dominate the world with their forever wars ,Europe will melt away and Ire deprived of Europe and US succour will pray for the right to survive.
American foreign policy has never changed- might makes right.
What has changed since Iraq and Afghanistan, are the use of proxy forces to get their dirty work done, as was demonstrated in Libya, Syria and Ukraine.
If they want to wage war on Iran and China, which I'm sure they would love to do, then where on earth will they find mercenaries?
The intervention by Russia in Syria (2015) decimated their jihadi forces, cultivated from the chaos and destruction in the ME since early '90s. It had a huge effect on the the ability of the CIA to wage war. It would have also made all the difference in Ukraine, if those 300+k battle hardened mercenaries were available in 2022. Thankfully the Russians had some foresight.
So where are the 'moderate rebels'/ISIS V.2 going to come from? Or will Iran and China only be subjected to NATO bombing campaigns? Considering the air defence systems available to both countries, it doesn't seem feasible.
The USA is just not as mighty as it used to be, let's hope peace and dialogue starts happening.
