He doesn't have dementia. It's just his adopted style. He always starts with "I'll nuke you" and then through his incredible powers of negotiation (ahem) he backs it down. It's the Roy Cohn influence, I think.

His shtick isn't working any more. Iran, Hamas & Ansar Allah are standing firm.

Putin was a good guy until he refused to be stupid & so now he's a bad guy.

He threatened Iran. They stood firm & now he's sent 7 B-2s plus a number of refuel planes plus a number of planes loaded with materiel, plus tbe USS Vinson plus additional naval assets to the region.

He tried to entice Gazans to leave their homes.

Egypt & Jordan stood firm & refused to take any more refugees. So he turned to Sudan, Somalia & Somaliland, who all stood form & refused.

So he said he wouldn't force them out. They had Boehler meet directly with with Hamas. Then, just as both sides said they within days of an agreement, he fired Boehler, sent in Witkoff, & greenlighted Nutty to starve & bomb them out. He's gone full on genocider. Oh, he'll be a "peace president" all right. He's leveling what's left of Gaza & plans to build his disgusting "riviera" on the bones of slaughtered Palestinians.

Yemen hadn't killed anybody. But they dared say since Israel was back to slaughtering - starving Palestinians they would close the red sea again. Before they fired a single shot, he started bombing the shit out of Yemen civilians.

He's losing it, lashing out at anyone who doesn't commit suicide on his command.

His temper & lashing out at his loss of agency & power may be a sign of early stage dementia.

Or maybe he's just always been a viscious, genocidal psychopath.

Both. On top of that, he's always been a huxter with no substance. He's a narcissist motivated by $. Ayn Rand's 'Attlas Shrugged' is his Bible. It's the Bible of the Plutarchs and Oligarchs.

These traits are in common with all our presidents going back to JFK and you know what happened to him. It's not hard to surmise who was behind it and why.

I disagree-obviously, you are ignorant about Canadian provincial tariffs?

Let me educate yourself.

Canada has 10 provinces and two territories. The provinces have greater tariffs against each other than the 25% tariff Trump is applying.

These tariffs in Canada has been a problem for 50 years; Trump attacking Canada has forced the Liberal govt. to:

(a) In June all inter provincial tariffs will be cancelled

(b) the Liberal govt killed the idiotic carbon tax which on Monday will save every person 18% in on gasoline for their cars inter alia ('among other things').

These Federal/Provincial policies above would not have happened without Trump's provocation.

With all due respect, you need to become a tad more intellectual on the Canada/US sovereignty issue.

I keep hoping the Russians will help the Yemenis out... The Yemenis are the only ones who actually seem to care about what's happening to the Palestinian people. And Yemen is currently being bombed by the US because the US wants to keep supplying arms to Israel's genocide... Perhaps it's time for Iran, China, Russia, and Yemen to clean up West Asia and kick all the white supremacist settler-colonizers out for good.

Please consider exactly where the majority of effort has been spent (since 1945 or so) in time & money spent on PR scripting, propaganda to mould public assumptions, lobbying legislators, punitive lawfare against contrary vouces, outright bribery and blackmail, even assassination when required by EVERYONE with an interest in US foreign policy, most especially by a small ethno-religious entity which only exists to aid that foreign policy in a particularly natural resource rich area with key transportation features adjacent?

And the place so heavily targeted only has about 8% of the world population, comes to a lot of "special attention" per personal opinion.

This is why I like your substack. You take a very pragmatic view to all this.

I voted for Trump but hes become very unhinged as of late. First with bombing Yemen then threatening Russia and then Iran.

Putin is a nationalist. He only cares about Russias interest. He could care less what anyone in the whitehouse thinks on this issue.

And its very simple.

The Russians will NEVER allow Ukraine to join NATO thereby potentially having ICBMs situated within 3min launch windows into Moscow. Not going to happen. Better we simply accept that reality and the mistakes of NATO overreach

As for Iran - years and years of threats and we actually think they havent prepared for us? This isnt an Iraq (1/3 its size) divided on sectarian and ethnic grounds. This isnt a backwards nation-state - its actually vibrant and very technologically driven. Its made peace with its arab neighbors like the Saudis and has friends in big places (Russia and China and BRICS). Manufactures its own weapons and finds clever ways to circumvent our sanctions (gold and silver and bardering).

Trump breached the JPOA and now is threatening them to make a deal to which the Iranian President said "no - do what you want to do"

The U.S Navy has done simulations of battle runs 2 decades ago and it never went well. Those aircraft carriers are sitting ducks and our bases in the middle east as logistics nightmares.

And if we EVER escalate to a nuclear attack - thats the end of it. No American city will be safe until an Islamic bomb has retaliated. As scott ritter pointed out 12 years ago

He is fighting a great battle, an Epic Battle even.

And the weapons are NOT military, but WORDS...

Words and LIES meant to prevent Trump of winning the midterms and even the Republicans of winning the next presidential elections.

Reagan, Bush 1 & son “W”, Biden, Obama, Clintons, Donald …. same as it ever was, in foreign policy. And the American voters? Well, according to them, if you don’t like Trump you rather have Biden. If you don’t like Biden you rather have Trump.

Me: How about both are devoted servants of the genocidal Talmudists? & I do not like neither.

To the Groupies: There IS a third option and I took it. So stuff it with your fandom!

Anybody paying even a little attention, would had realized that the $100 million given to Donnie

by Diseaseraeli Firster Miriam plus all the ‘special interests’ $$$$$ given by those that clamor for that little apartheid, sh1tty, genocidal place, did not come free. The Devil has come to collect from Donnie. After all, the Devil gave Donnie what he wanted ( the Presidency) .

Now Donnie is honoring the Diseaseraeli contract, which is —war with Iran, keep sending weapons, tax payers’ money, deporting students with LEGAL visas, threatening universities, helping the Génocidaires slaughter more children in Gaza…….

Thank you, RainyNights...

My sensing tells me that Trump wants to fight The Monster's tentacles, after US-AID, NED and DOGE, which have wounded the US-Tentacle (Its Deep State) and resulted in its withdrawal from the US and returning to The City of London, from where it keeps attacking Trump.

But the Main part of the US Tentacle is the Zionist Lobby and AIPAC, and then there is the MIC cartel. All of them ready to use LIES to prevent Trump from winning the Midterms and even the next Presidency (by a follower).

So he must HIDE his true intentions (which i recognised as Highly Intelligent Autistic Masking, which i have used too). Do not think you are smart enough to see his real intentions from his words, until he ACTS them...

The intention of the Monster is to prepare Europe to be joined by a new US administration in 4 years from now, after which the 4th Reich, with US-Support, like under Biden, will attack Russia again.

PART 2 ( please read PART 1 first)

The ‘Monster’ as you call it, a word which is fine with me, is a word usually, not always, chosen by an atheist or agnostic to describe evil, while I call them the ‘Children of the Devil’ as I’m a Christian, will prepare Europe or anybody that will do their evil bidding. Therefore, ‘The Monster’ or ‘Children of the Devil’ we are speaking of, is the same lot.

Russia is Orthodox Christian & has a strong leader. A statesman that, in my opinion, seems to truly love his country and his people. Putting everything political aside, the man called Putin, has shown to sincerely care for the vulnerable, the weak and innocent people caught in wars & genocide, which reminds me that the eyes ARE the windows to the soul. I have seen Putin interact all over the world with little children, the elderly, the downtrodden and I have seen compassion in those usually steely blue eyes….AND don’t get me started what he has done for Russia being short of a miracle.

The Children of the Devil are not only in The City of London & Europe , they are quite imbedded everywhere in the planet. In fact, they have set up their ‘throne’, in an apartheid, genocidal, little corner of the world. Even the Holy Land they have made it

( for now) unholy with the bloodbath they commit against the innocents.

I understand you have high hopes in Donald going against the ‘Monster’. I don’t & there are many other ones like me. However, nothing could make happier, for you to be 100% correct & I 100% incorrect.

I wish you a healthy and a very peaceful world. May by the time you are my age, live in it. God bless.

Thank you for reply Cassandra Occupy.

PART 1

I will go point by point on what stood out for me:

I totally agree in that, and I quote you, “the Main part of the US Tentacle is the Zionist Lobby and AIPAC & MIC”. They both hold hands as a strong couple.

As to the “Zionist Lobby/ AIPAC is ready to use lies against Trump …..” …yes, of course, they will betray anyone including devoted allies if they ( AIPAC) deem it a necessity for THEIR interests ( whatever those are at the time of their betraying.)

I never considered Donald ‘autistic’ nor ‘intelligent’. Or that he is “hiding his intentions towards AIPAC”. I tasted a similar flavor from ‘Q/ trust the plan’ of what you are saying. I believe Donald to be very forthcoming and honest with AIPAC.

His children are married ( one converted ) into the Tribe. His beloved grandchildren are being raised as Zionists. The Talmudists selected him to be in the seat he is in.

Continuing about his ‘intelligence’, he is very savvy/ intelligent in real estate business as far as I can see by his real estate acquisitions .

As far, as ‘winning the next Presidency’ I am a realist - the man is now nearing 80.

In four year from now he will be in his mid 80s. I think you are very young, compared to me, and have not yet felt the VERY fast passing of time after a certain age & have no understanding of what you wish . It’s not a bad thing, because it means you are idealistic, hopeful, energetic, full of positive emotions. It also tells me you are young and are not in an old body. In an old body, one can wish a lot of things, but the body will refuse. It is very & extremely probable that you will be alive in the next four years than Donald ( or me ) will be.

Continued…..

Thank you for your reaction RainyNights.

Relating to Trumps 'ties' with the Israel-lobby and the huge amount of Christian Zionists in the Republican Party: He will need to find ways of doing the things he wants, - making Peace and from an Empire change the US in a Local Player among the other large players, being in peace and do Trades, which i admire and hope that he can move the US in that direction - without giving his opponents tools to turn the electorate tide against him.

So he now 'betrays' Ukraine, but that will not really switch many of his electorate nor the Senate or Congress. Can you guess what he is going to do next ?

He sent a Carrier-group to attack Yemen in the Red Sea he bombed some houses and the Houthis destroyed one of the AWACS planes in its Deck, disabling the control function of the CVN-75 Harry Truman, so it has to go close past Yemen to a base for repairs and new anti-air missiles. The next Carrier group within range, CVN-70 Carl Vinson is on its way from Japan via Indonesia to the Arab Sea, but has to stay 3,000 km from both Yemen and Iran. it will take some weeks before it arrives there. May 1 i think.

Further: He placed ALL (7) his stealth B2 Bombers+Bunker Busters on a base on the island Diego Garcia, THAT IS WITHIN RANGE of IRAN'S Hypersonic anti-ship weapons. Iran has placed its long range missiles in active mode...

Recent map of carriers->https://southfront.press/locations-of-us-carrier-strike-groups-april-1-2025/

Israel has started attacks in Syria, Gaza, Lebanon (Hezbollah) and is again threatening Iran. Trump will probably try to stop those by promising and starting peace-talks with Iran. Or something like that. Israel is on the brink of a civil war and Satanyahu is serious ill.

What i say, is that his military moves were and are Idiotic. Only those that believe the US is the strongest force on the world, after its defeat under Biden in Ukraine (Yes Ukraine is defeated, they just don't realise it.)

Concerning Trump (and Elon Musk and Alexander Mercouris) i am intelligent and Autistic. It is difficult for Autistics to be accepted in groups. from the age of 6 months they develop 'Masking' and that fails often, but in the right environment, where your intelligence can aid you in masking, when it works, you outmanoeuvre all the others, like in the case of Trump and Elon. Alexander admits he is sensing sometimes and i see the signs (badly masked) of Autistics badly masked Stimming.

Stimming->https://www.thetransmitter.org/spectrum/repetitive-behaviors-and-stimming-in-autism-explained/

Oh... concerning the age of Trump... I assume he will not be allowed to do a 3th presidency. I was thinking, if successful, he will have a follow-up to continue his work. It would mean his American Revolution 2.0 is succeeding and i hope it will.

Thank you for reply and link Cassandra Occupy. I also read the posts. More slaughter! in Syria too…*crossing myself* . When will it stop?

I will not pretend, to know as you do about carriers, missiles and all that, that encompasses military geology, but had heard the Truman was disabled for now . Somebody said in a YouTube post that it was ‘blinded’ for a while & will ‘recuperate’.

As to the other issue you speak of…

There is literally an infestation of Zionists that also call themselves ‘Christians’ in the Republican Party & Democrat Party. The Republicans are the ones that disgust me more because they pretend to be ‘Christian’, ‘conservative’, ‘family oriented’, ‘against abortion’ ( pfft! while they applaud the genocide of thousands children) ….I have never seen so much lies and hypocrisy coming from a lot. To me they are WAY WORSE than the original Zionists.

Again, I hope you are correct in what you believe. I have no hope that Donald is truly a MAGA person & sadly a MiGA one.
