Siegel was shot in the hand and his ribs were broken during the Oct. 7 attack. His wounds weren't treated until he was freed more than a year later. He said Hamas also '''tried to convert him to Islam.''' He was beaten at random and without warning, sexually assaulted, forced to watch as other hostages were beaten and assaulted, starved and humiliated, forced to make Hamas videos, spat on and forcibly shaved. He said he was kept alone in a locked room for six months.&lt;br /&gt;

::After the media went after Hegseth instead of Waltz, I'm convinced that Signalgate was no accident.

Because while Hegseth may have his own interventionist tendencies, the neocon wing of the Trump's staff hate him for questioning some of their &amp;quot;party line,&amp;quot; so they want him gone. Meanwhile, you have Hegseth staffers who have been fired for &amp;quot;leaking,&amp;quot; only to go on Tucker Carlson and accuse their former colleagues of framing them for similar reasons. So now that Signalgate failed to get Hegseth himself fired, the neocons are using similar tactics against Hegseth's staffers so that he is surrounded by nobody but ideologues in the Pentagon. If they can't break him, they'll try to re-make him. Absolutely disgusting. Trump shouldn't have reassigned Waltz to the UN, he should've straight up fired him.

==Jack Hunter: Waltz’s Demotion Should Begin a Neocon Purge==&lt;br /&gt;
Jack Hunter at ''The American Conservative'' contends that Signalgate was no accident, that Michael Waltz and Jeffrey Goldberg have indeed been in cahoots, given both their prior joint appearances and their shared interest in promoting neoconservative ideology. He also contends that &amp;quot;a true ‘America First’ foreign policy and neoconservatism are incompatible,&amp;quot; and that it is time that President Trump stop deluding himself into believing otherwise. In Hunter's opinion, Trump should've done what Hunter suggests Trump do now, a long time ago. But alas, Trump is a forgiving man. He has given the neocons more than enough chances to work with him so they could together develop a policy which could make both sides happy. However, the neocons have blown every chance Trump has given them, and Signalgate should be the final straw.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his article, Hunter calls for Trump to do a &amp;quot;neocon purge.&amp;quot; And although Hunter ultimately stops short of outright stating a detailed strategy, from my perspective he gives a good idea of what Trump's base should demand that Trump do on their behalf. This implied strategy consists of four tasks:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*1. Revoking his nomination of Waltz as UN Ambassador, and instead booting him out of the administration altogether.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*2. Firing Marco Rubio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*3. Revoking his endorsement of Lindsey Graham's re-election campaign, and instead endorsing one of his primary challengers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*4. Recruiting someone to try to primary out Tom Cotton.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==May 8 Victory Day?==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Cold War]] began almost as immediately as surrender documents were signed by [[Nazi Germany]]. The [[UK]] violated the agreement made by the [[Allies]] at the [[Teheran Conference]] not to accept a separate peace. While the [[Red Army]] battled German forces in the streets of [[Berlin]], UK forces accepted a formal signed surrender document from Hitler's designated successor Adm [[Doenitz]] in north Germany on May 8. The same night just before midnight, commander of German forces Gen [[Jodl]] surrendered to Soviet forces in the capital of Germany, Berlin. The news was reported to Moscow, which is 3 hours earlier, after 2 AM. So the Soviet's proclaimed [[May 9]] [[Victory Day]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This inability of &amp;quot;the Allies&amp;quot; to keep agreements and even agree on when [[World War II]] ended marked the beginning of the [[Cold War]]. Now [[President Trump]] by official proclamation declares May 8 &amp;quot;Victory Day&amp;quot;. This is highly insulting to Russian families who made the sacrifice and lost family in the war. Trump knows this, or should know this. Unfortunately, it unofficially marks the beginning of [[Cold War II]], and is readily an admission of President Trump's failure to keep his promise to end the NATO [[proxy war]] in 24 hours or 100 days. Biden's War, begun by [[Obama]] in 2014, is now Trump's war. [[Bannon]] was right. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottomline: Trump didn't have to make a formal proclamation, but he did anyway. Going forward, the Russians can only interpret this as bad faith out of spite. Between [[FDR]] saying &amp;quot;no separate peace&amp;quot; or Papa Bush promising &amp;quot;not one inch east&amp;quot;, the Russians have no confidence in Western, UK, or American words, written or oral promises.

&lt;br /&gt;
[...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The real danger is it just shows disrespect for other people. Number one, I think if you're in Russia today, which is of course the principal remnant state left over from when the Soviet Union collapsed, this is deeply offensive. Just think about the sacrifice that Russia/the Soviet Union played to defeat [[Nazi Germany]]. And here you have [[President Trump]] disrespecting that great sacrifice, disrespecting this country. But furthermore, when Trump makes comments like that which are so at odds with the historical record, it really cast doubt or doubts on his judgment. It's truly remarkable that he would make such a foolish statement. Someone who is the president of the [[United States]] should simply know better. And I know that we've reached the point where we just say &amp;quot;Well this is Donald Trump, and you know he just says a lot of outrageous things&amp;quot;. He contradicts himself from one day to another, and it really doesn't matter because it's just Donald Trump and everybody understands that. But I don't believe that's true. I think it says a lot about his judgment. And I think it says a lot about whether you can [[trust]] the man because he's saying one thing one day and another thing another day. And much of what he says is simply not true. So if you're a foreign leader, and you're looking at the United States and you're thinking about how to deal with Donald Trump, you have to scratch your head and say &amp;quot;Is he a reliable negotiating partner?&amp;quot; And I think the answer in most cases is no.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''Judge Napolitano:''' In an interview with ''[[Meet the Press]]'' [Trump] made this rather startling statement that Russia is interested in taking &amp;quot;all of Ukraine&amp;quot;, just as [[Biden|President Biden]] did.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Mearsheimer:''' Yeah, I saw that clip. And he also says in the clip President Trump, that it's only because of him that they haven't taken all of Ukraine. Uh, I mean this is delusional, on both counts. First of all, there is zero evidence that the Russians have been interested in conquering all of Ukraine. Just zero evidence. They don't have the capability to do that. And furthermore, the idea that they were bent on it and Donald Trump stopped them is kind of a laughable argument. The guy has been in office only since January 20th and he certainly has not stopped them in that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Judge Napolitano:''' What does this tell you about either his understanding of the relationship between Ukraine and Russia or his listening to [[neocon]]s whispering in his ear, or his political chicainery with the rest of us? Maybe he wants us to think that [[Putin]] wants all of Ukraine and when he ends up with just [[Crimea]] and the four oblasts Trump will take credit for having saved the rest of Ukraine. Who knows what's going through his mind. But there is no evidence, whatsoever, from anywhere on the [[planet]] that Putin wants all of Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Mearsheimer:''' Exactly. And this gets back to his claim the other day that we won both [[World War I]] and [[World War II]]. When you hear those kind of comments, you say &amp;quot;What planet is this guy living on?&amp;quot; This just makes no sense at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Judge Napolitano:''' How does this play in the [[Kremlin]], Professor Mearsheimer, when he makes a statement like this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Mearsheimer:''' Well, I think that it basically means that you don't know what Trump is really thinking because he changes his tune from day to day. So you really can't trust anything he says.  And furthermore, even if you get a deal, let's say we work out a deal. How much faith can you put in him to keep that deal and to not walk away from it at some point? So this is a huge problem for us in terms of dealing with the [[Russian]]s. And, by the way, it's also a huge problem for us in terms of dealing with the [[Iranian]]s. You know, the Iranians remember very well that he walked away from the [[JCPOA]] which they thought was an agreement that was going to be kept by the [[United States]]. But Trump walked away. And if the Russians cut a deal with Trump, and they make concessions to Trump to get that deal, can they trust that he won't welch on the deal shortly thereafter? And the answer is, no. And this really gets in the way of negotiating a settlement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Judge Napolitano:'''  So in the past 10 days Trump has claimed that the United States was largely responsible for defeating [[Nazi Germany]] and not the Russians. He has claimed that Russia has lost over a million men in the Ukraine conflict, and he has dispatched [[General Kellogg]], yet again. And I'll play a clip from him just yesterday to offer a [[peace]] plan that he knows is dead in the water. What does this tell the Kremlin?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Mearsheimer:''' Again, it tells the Kremlin that his policy is incoherent. That there's just, you know, no clear policy objective. And no strategy for achieving that objective. I mean, what else can the Kremlin conclude? I mean, the Kremlin has a vested interest in playing nice with Trump and not picking a fight with him, and pretending that they're still willing to work out a deal. But I would imagine that behind closed doors the Russians are thinking that we can't place much faith in Trump. And even if we get a deal, we can't place much faith in that deal. What we have to do is we have to position ourselves on the battlefield in ways that ensure our security once the shooting stops and you get a frozen conflict.}}&lt;br /&gt;

== Was our support for Donald Trump all in vain? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've had a love-hate relationship with President Trump ever since he came down that escalator. I initially refused to take him seriously, then I tolerated him, then I hated him because of his attacks on Ted Cruz. In hindsight I'll admit he was right about Lyin' Ted. Shortly before the election I came around and voted for him. And I was initially pleasantly surprised. But then he began hiring neocons like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, and allowing them to hijack his foreign policy. He also put a knife in the economy by promoting and signing the CARES Act, which is a major reason inflation has been such a problem in the post-COVID era. So in 2020, I voted third party. However, I was always open to give Trump another chance in case he decided to run again and demonstrated that he learned from his first term mistakes. On Election Day 2024, I was confident he had learned from those mistakes, so I voted for him once again. Six months later, it's becoming more and more apparent that I was wrong. He hasn't learned from those mistakes. And no event makes that more evident than [https://apnews.com/article/ahmad-alsharaa-trump-syria-bashar-al-assad-6facdef5b881286955b95e0c5b2704d7 his decision to normalize relations with the al-Qaeda regime in Syria].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This begs the question. Was our support for Trump all in vain? Most of us here understand what an America First administration should look like. And this ain't it. Instead of going after the countries which serve the Deep State, Trump is befriending them and even backing them against countries which resist the Deep State. And he and his surrogates expect, no, ''demand'' that we accept that. But if we're to be ideologically honest, we can't. And ''I'' won't.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 18:58, May 13, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Following up in response to Trump's meeting with al-Jolani. Here's what I think is going on. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Middle East is currently divided into three camps. One led by Iran, one led by Saudi Arabia, and one led by Turkey. Iran and Saudi Arabia are bitter enemies, while Turkey is a &amp;quot;swing power&amp;quot; which goes back and forth between aligning with Iran against Saudi Arabia, aligning with Saudi Arabia against Iran, and opposing both countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between 2011 and 2016, Turkey was firmly aligned with Saudi Arabia against Iran. Their alliance began to deteriorate after the successful coup in Egypt, and collapsed completely following the attempted coup in Turkey itself. While they both continued to support the Syrian jihadis against Assad, they no longer trusted each other and from that point forward treated each other as enemies rather than allies. Meanwhile, Turkey attempted rapprochement with Iran, with limited success. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then last December, the Syrian jihadists finally overthrew Assad. The Turkish-Iranian rapprochement collapsed, leaving Turkey with just two allies in the region: Qatar and the new Syrian regime. Meanwhile, post-Assad Syria became a potential flashpoint between Saudi Arabia and Turkey as the new regime's loyalties are tested. At this time, it appears to be more aligned with Turkey than with Saudi Arabia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enter Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Both seek to normalize relations with post-Assad Syria, defying the long-standing conventional wisdom concerning their foreign policy. However, it appears that they are seeking normalization for completely different reasons. Trump's main concern is containing Iran, he is thus is willing to overlook past transgressions so he could expand the Abraham Accords to include radical Sunni regimes like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, and post-Assad Syria. On the other hand, Putin's main concern is eliminating American influence in the region. The primary target of this policy is Saudi Arabia, he is thus willing to overlook past transgressions so he could forge an anti-Saudi alliance led by Turkey and Iran. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To summarize, Turkey, Qatar, and post-Assad Syria a swing bloc. Trump and Putin are competing for their favor, in the process abandoning their long-standing policies against Sunni extremism. I personally find it really embarrassing to watch, and I say that in an just world their efforts would blow up in their faces. But this world is not nor has it ever been just. Nor will it ever be just until Christ returns.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 23:02, May 14, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:At this point I fully expect World War III to break out within the next decade. Of course the region where it starts will determine whether it's remembered like World War I or like World War II. If it starts in the Middle East because of Trump and Putin's about faces on al-Qaeda, then like World War I before it, it will be remembered as one of the stupidest wars in history.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 23:07, May 14, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

He now says it's '''a priority''' for the US to prop up the al-Qaeda regime in Syria, lest the country descend into another civil war, which could be as little as just weeks away. At this point, I've just about had it. I regret voting for Trump. And if we end up supporting this new regime in any future conflict, I'll be calling for his impeachment. Just as I supported impeaching Obama and Biden before him on the same grounds.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 14:44, May 20, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I also have this to say about the two countries which are pushing Trump the hardest to do this: Saudi Arabia and Israel. On the former, I've never believed that MBS is a true reformer. I've always believed that he is a stealth fanatic masquerading as a reformer so he could make his country more effective at waging jihad. So I'm not at all surprised that he's pushing Trump to do this. The sooner Iran takes out the Saudi regime, the better. As for Israel, Netanyahu has completely destroyed any goodwill I've ever had for Israel, possibly forever. One thing's for certain, as long as he, Likud, or any similar political movements are in charge, I will never support Israel again. In fact, I'm tempted to start supporting the Palestinians (but not Hamas, as they also support the Syrian regime). I never thought I'd ever reach this point, but here I am.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 14:53, May 20, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

One more thing. To hell with the Abraham Accords. Its premise is a lie, it's not about peace but rather (more) war.

==On summitry==&lt;br /&gt;
Seems there is interest in summits between foreign leaders. When summits occur, it is to put the final seal on agreements already made at lower levels. For example, the Boeing jet gifted to the United States by whoever represents an earlier negotiation worked out with all legal ramifications, both domestically and internationally, in advance. It was not, as reported, like Trump attending a surprise birthday party. Every word spoken by leaders is scripted in advance so there is no confusion or misinterpretation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Likewise the calls by [[Zelensky]] for an unscripted summit with [[Putin]] are made by a person and people who believe in top-down [[dictatorship]]. They believe in the supreme power of [[dictator]] - that a dictator (or two dictators who don't trust each other), can sit down at an unscripted summit, make agreements, and return home to dictate to flunkies how to proceed. This is nonsense, absurd nonsense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump said he and Putin may have a summit in a few weeks. This means negotiators are scripting the agreements the leaders will ratify at a summit meeting. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 00:47, May 17, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Example: Many cultural [[idiom]]s need to be discussed and overcome. In 1972 [[Nixon]] didn't just hop on a plane and fly to [[Moscow]] &amp;amp; [[Beijing]]. Careful advance preparation was made. Nixon requested to visit the [[Great Wall of China]], but was informed it was a symbol of [[oppression]] in China. It was built by the [[slave]] labor of [[tyrannical]] regimes, and many Chinese ancestors' bones are buried in the Wall. To Chinese, it is likened to [[Auschwitz]], and Nixon's request and visit might be misunderstood. The Americans (of course) countered that if China &amp;amp; the [[United States]] were to normalize relations, the Great Wall could become a good source of [[revenue]] via [[tourism]], and Nixon's visit could help promote it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Summits are not spontaneous events like [[Zelensky]] believes or [[Trump]] implies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:'''Update:''' [[Peskov]]: No summit in the works. Peskov has a more reliable track record than Trump.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===A more realistic account of the Trump-Putin phone call [https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/putin-trump-phone-call-deadend-afu]===&lt;br /&gt;
:''Despite both sides drumming up the call’s significance as a good step forward toward normalizing relations, it achieved nothing. The reason: Putin again repeated to Trump that “root causes” of the conflict must be addressed, and shortly after, Zelensky declared in a press conference that Ukraine will never demilitarize and never give up its territories; the impasse stands as before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:''Trump did decline to order a new round of sanctions on Russia...''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Conservative]] is still under the delusion that Trump's threats of sanctions, made for domestic consumption, carries some weight or has meaning. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 03:01, May 20, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump said he'd end the war in 24 hrs. He didn't.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump said he'd end the war in 100 days. He didn't.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump said the [[Houthis]] caved. They didn't.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'll bet $100 [[User:Conservative]] continues to [[naive]]ly fall for whatever Trump says for domestic consumption again and again in [[foreign policy]] (cause [[User:Conservative]] has no discernment). In foreign affairs, like in military conflict, you hold your cards close to your chest, and don't publicize your [[strategy]] in the press. But [[User:Conservative]] hasn't figured that out yet.&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|My people perish for lack of knowledge.|||Hosea 4:6}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When [[User:Conservative]] quotes Trump on these matters, he thinks he's being authoritive. But he's really only adding fuel to the liberal claim that Trump is a [[liar]]. [[User:Conservative]] has no discretion or discernment, and hasn't even figured out that much yet or the [[liberal claptrap]] he [[spam]]s. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
KRISTEN WELKER:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good Sunday morning. President Trump returns to Washington after his trip to the Middle East, and he is touting what he says are new critical investments in the U.S. economy. It comes as his agenda back home is facing new challenges, and as he's planning for direct phone calls with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine on Monday. Against that backdrop, I sat down with his former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday at his home in Indiana.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[START TAPE]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
KRISTEN WELKER:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let me ask you about President Trump's first official overseas trip to the Middle East --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FMR. VICE PRES. MIKE PENCE:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yeah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
KRISTEN WELKER:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-- this week, where he met with the newly installed president of Syria. He dropped all of the sanctions against that country despite Israel's opposition. The trip included stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, but he did not stop in Israel. Sir, what message do you think President Trump's trip sent to Israel overall?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FMR. VICE PRES. MIKE PENCE:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, first off, I think it was a very successful trip for the American economy. The president secured financial commitments in all three countries, including a historic contract for purchasing Boeing aircraft that'll really support American jobs. And I don't gainsay that. But, Kristen, I've never been a fan of American presidents criticizing America on foreign soil. And to have the president in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror, and describing it as nation-building and interventionist, I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform and who took the fight to our enemy, you know, in Afghanistan and in Iraq. And particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia, where 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers hailed from, not including Osama bin Laden, I thought was unfortunate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
KRISTEN WELKER:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let me ask you about another aspect of President Trump's trip. He said that he was going to accept a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar to use as a temporary Air Force One. He said he'll eventually donate that to his presidential library. Do you think President Trump should accept a military aircraft from Qatar?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FMR. VICE PRES. MIKE PENCE:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, I think first we've got to remember who Qatar is. We've got a military base there. I have members of our immediate family that have deployed to the region. But Qatar has a long history of playing both sides. They support Hamas. They supported Al Qaeda. Qatar has actually financed pro-Hamas protests on American campuses across the United States. So, the very idea that we would accept an Air Force One from Qatar I think is inconsistent with our security, with our intelligence needs. And my hope is the president reconsiders it. I think if Qatar wants to make a gift to the United States, they ought to take that $400 million and plow it into infrastructure on our military base.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
KRISTEN WELKER:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So you're saying President Trump should turn down this plane?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FMR. VICE PRES. MIKE PENCE:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think he should. I think -- look, others have observed or there are profound issues, the potential for intelligence gathering, the need to ensure the president of the United States is safe and secure as he travels around the world and of course also there are very real constitutional issues. The Constitution prohibits public officials from accepting a present, in the words of the Constitution, a present from a foreign state. Now they may have some basis through chain of title for avoiding that, but I think it's just a bad idea, and my hope is the president will think better of it.&lt;br /&gt;

==Report: [[Zelensky]] doesn't want a 30-day ceasefire==&lt;br /&gt;
because angry armed soldiers would return to [[Kyiv]] and finally depose his regime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are witnessing in real time a government in disintegration like Germany in 1918, 1945, Saigon in 1975 or Kabul in 2021. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 02:35, May 23, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's looking more and more like [[Zelensky]]'s ultimate destination will be [[Florida]] rather than his residence in [[Tel Aviv]], estate in [[Italy]] next to [[Arsen Avakov]]'s estate, or apartments in [[Paris]], [[London]] and [[Yalta]] (now in the [[Russian Federation|RF]]). Although London can't be ruled out because of the support &amp;amp; personal security he receives from the [[Starmer]] regime. His personal bodyguard now is being handled by [[MI5]], as the [[neo-Nazi]] [[Azov battalion|Azov]] and [[Pravy Sektor]] elements have been relieved (he could pretend to lead a &amp;quot;government-in-exile&amp;quot; in London). But the [[US]] [[taxpayer]] is still paying for it all, and likely to continue &amp;quot;for the foreseeable future&amp;quot;. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 02:45, May 23, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lesson from history: the &amp;quot;Polish government-in-exile&amp;quot; formed in 1939 didn't go out of business until 1989; the reason: they held the title to Polish gold reserves held in London and the United States, and didn't turn them over to [[Warsaw]] until after the Polish Soviet Socialist Republic went out of business. Of course, nobody voted for the Polish government-in-exile either, which by 1989 had re-located to an apartment in [[Chicago]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recent hit job in [[Spain]] on a disciple of [[Yanukovych]], who was removed more than 10 years ago, is probably another  sign the end is nearing, as [[Nazi]]s are clearing up old business while they still have a global reach with US taxpayer help.

Alastair Crooke: [https://youtu.be/MeeE1qavSg0 Is Trump Missing the Boat?]&lt;br /&gt;
:''It seems that Trump doesn't know that there were a thousand [[drone]]s fired into Russia by Ukraine in the days preceding this last Russian [[missile]] assault. And he didn't seem to know that they threatened [[Putin]]'s own helicopter traveling from [[Moscow]] to [[Kursk]], accidentally or not. But he did not seem to know it. Who's briefing him? And as I say, there is not any sort of sense that it is possible to have a serious discussion because this transactional approach, that it's just a matter of how many oblasts who gives up and what, misses the fact that this is a deep and protracted conflict between Ukraine and Russia. And it goes back a long way, as Putin has explained. And parts of it irreconcilable. This is why you can't just simply sort of say, 'oh let's just, you know, cut off this oblast and that oblast, we have a deal'. And we can have a ceasefire. And we can put off any political discussion to the long term, as they did in [[Korea]]. I mean, this is absolutely nonsense. And the credibility, and '''I mean this point when I say, this is a pivot point. Credibility of the [[United States]] and the [[Senate]] is destroyed in this period now.''' Putin is going to go on playing along with it and trying to manage the, you know, delicate American psyche as he sees it in the Senate, and see how much that can be managed. But everyone understands. &lt;br /&gt;
:''So the pressure on Putin is not coming from, what was the case where they felt he wasn't doing enough to win it. They now know perfectly well that Putin understands a deal is almost impossible to conceive with [[America]] now, unless [[Trump]] is able to show that he has the [[political]] clout to be able to say something, and to mean it, and to take it forward in political action. And they don't see that. And that of course means that we're heading towards escalation. In fact, I mean, it means escalation is inevitable.''&lt;br /&gt;

The fact that he does not recognize the difference between his own personality and leadership and that of the [[US government]] is one of the problems we have [[constitutional]]ly in the [[United States]] at the moment. The United States has been a co-[[belligerent]], very much so, in this war. You cannot instantly then assume, chuck that identity and become a mediator, a neutral mediator. We're not neutral, a neutral mediator. We're still arming Ukraine. We're still supporting Ukraine. And so the notion that somehow we are mediating, as the Turks and Israelis did at one point between Ukraine and Russia, is simply preposterous. And it doesn't have any credibility. Second, I believe there is an unstated, very [[naive]] presupposition at work here. And that is that there is a dichotomy - you're either fighting or you're negotiating. But as we saw in [[Korea]], we saw in [[Vietnam]] and elsewhere, in fact fighting can continue while negotiations proceed. And indeed the level of combat becomes an element in the negotiation. It is a support for your position.''&lt;br /&gt;

What Trump is doing goes beyond that - to purge the mainline agencies of their professionals, let's call it the their underlying [[deep state]]. The permanent employees for disloyalty and they're subject to loyalty tests. When you remove large numbers of people like that, you do two things: first of all you stop the flow of paper going into the National Security Council, you purge the National Security Council of most of its desk offices....without a deep staff when you have the same thing going on at these other agencies you're basically creating a structure that doesn't inform the president in a timely fashion and doesn't regulate, coordinate, and produce a feedback loop of what he has to say.''&lt;br /&gt;
:''What he has to say is visible in this system of [[tweet]]s. Over the last 48 hours or a bit more the Russian side has commented on this - blowing off of steam. Presidential spokesman [[Dmitri Peskov]] said there's [[emotion]]al overload there....Second, over the last few hours what we've seen is a concerted effort on the part of the [[Kremlin]] spokesman and [[Zakharova|Foreign Ministry spokesman]] to say President Trump is not being properly informed. Therefore he says things, he shoots off his mouth without a brain attached, it's polite but it's warning Trump of a sociological process which he himself has launched for his reasons, for loyalist reasons. He's in fact created a machine that's running out of his control. And he isn't being informed. We've talked about this before. The president's official log shows that he doesn't get a daily intelligence briefing. He gets one a week. And that's less common than his lunch with the Vice President. So he's getting briefed by people close to him, or people who have a particular agency line or policy line or ideological line to run, but he doesn't have the system to weigh checks and balances inside his own in his own office, and that's something the Russian side's concerned about.''&lt;br /&gt;

*'''''[[The Federalist]]'': If only [[Ukraine]]-loving''' [[Senate]] [[Republican]]s put [[America First|Americans first]] for once. [https://thefederalist.com/2025/05/30/if-only-ukraine-loving-senate-republicans-put-americans-first-for-once/]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Trump says, &amp;quot;We'll know in 2 weeks&amp;quot;, he's referring to [[Lady Lindsey]]'s [[sanctions]] bill in the [[Senate]] to impose 500% &amp;quot;secondary sanctions&amp;quot; on other nations buying [[Russian oil]]. The bill currently has 82 Senate backers. [[Rand Paul]] is the lone spokesman against it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If this bill ever passes the [[House]] with Trump's signature, there will be no question that Biden's war is now Trump's war.&lt;br /&gt;

Personally, I doubt very much there would ever be a conventional war between the US &amp;amp; Russia in Europe, Ukraine, the Arctic or anywhere. US bases would get [[Oreshnik]]ed first or the mainland [[US]] [[nuke]]d. But who knows? We've already seen [[stupid]]er [[liberal claptrap]] treated seriously on this issue in [[Conservapedia]] over [[Russia]].

&lt;br /&gt;
None of this matters much anymore. The Russian people aren't too happy about [[Trump]] waging a [[terrorist]] [[war]] against [[civilian]]s. At least the Moderate [[Putin]] is in charge, but he's 72 years old. When he's gone, he's likely to be replaced by some hot head who is not as patient and understanding as Putin has been. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, and your fantasies about [[regime change]]? Forget it. The Russian [[deep state]] has their own continuity of government contingencies in place. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 21:15, June 1, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

The barrage of accusations is intense, relentless, and seems to have neither beginning nor end. But are the charges true? Do women really have a worse time of it than men? This volume, one of the very few in any language, takes on these questions head on. Roaming far and wide, it examines many aspects of the problem as it has presented itself from the time of ancient Egypt right down to today’s most advanced Western societies.

::After the media went after Hegseth instead of Waltz, I'm convinced that Signalgate was no accident. My theory is Waltz had the conversation leaked on purpose hoping that it would lead to Hegseth being ousted. Why? Because while Hegseth may have his own interventionist tendencies, the neocon wing of the Trump's staff hate him for questioning some of their &amp;quot;party line,&amp;quot; so they want him gone. Meanwhile, you have Hegseth staffers who have been fired for &amp;quot;leaking,&amp;quot; only to go on Tucker Carlson and accuse their former colleagues of framing them for similar reasons. So now that Signalgate failed to get Hegseth himself fired, the neocons are using similar tactics against Hegseth's staffers so that he is surrounded by nobody but ideologues in the Pentagon. If they can't break him, they'll try to re-make him. Absolutely disgusting. Trump shouldn't have reassigned Waltz to the UN, he should've straight up fired him. He should also fire Rubio, and perhaps Bessent as well.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 18:09, May 1, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==Jack Hunter: Waltz’s Demotion Should Begin a Neocon Purge==&lt;br /&gt;
Jack Hunter at ''The American Conservative'' contends that Signalgate was no accident, that Michael Waltz and Jeffrey Goldberg have indeed been in cahoots, given both their prior joint appearances and their shared interest in promoting neoconservative ideology. He also contends that &amp;quot;a true ‘America First’ foreign policy and neoconservatism are incompatible,&amp;quot; and that it is time that President Trump stop deluding himself into believing otherwise. In Hunter's opinion, Trump should've done what Hunter suggests Trump do now, a long time ago. But alas, Trump is a forgiving man. He has given the neocons more than enough chances to work with him so they could together develop a policy which could make both sides happy. However, the neocons have blown every chance Trump has given them, and Signalgate should be the final straw.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his article, Hunter calls for Trump to do a &amp;quot;neocon purge.&amp;quot; And although Hunter ultimately stops short of outright stating a detailed strategy, from my perspective he gives a good idea of what Trump's base should demand that Trump do on their behalf. This implied strategy consists of four tasks:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*1. Revoking his nomination of Waltz as UN Ambassador, and instead booting him out of the administration altogether.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*2. Firing Marco Rubio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*3. Revoking his endorsement of Lindsey Graham's re-election campaign, and instead endorsing one of his primary challengers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*4. Recruiting someone to try to primary out Tom Cotton.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who's with Hunter on this?&lt;br /&gt;

==May 8 Victory Day?==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Cold War]] began almost as immediately as surrender documents were signed by [[Nazi Germany]]. The [[UK]] violated the agreement made by the [[Allies]] at the [[Teheran Conference]] not to accept a separate peace. While the [[Red Army]] battled German forces in the streets of [[Berlin]], UK forces accepted a formal signed surrender document from Hitler's designated successor Adm [[Doenitz]] in north Germany on May 8. The same night just before midnight, commander of German forces Gen [[Jodl]] surrendered to Soviet forces in the capital of Germany, Berlin. The news was reported to Moscow, which is 3 hours earlier, after 2 AM. So the Soviet's proclaimed [[May 9]] [[Victory Day]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This inability of &amp;quot;the Allies&amp;quot; to keep agreements and even agree on when [[World War II]] ended marked the beginning of the [[Cold War]]. Now [[President Trump]] by official proclamation declares May 8 &amp;quot;Victory Day&amp;quot;. This is highly insulting to Russian families who made the sacrifice and lost family in the war. Trump knows this, or should know this. Unfortunately, it unofficially marks the beginning of [[Cold War II]], and is readily an admission of President Trump's failure to keep his promise to end the NATO [[proxy war]] in 24 hours or 100 days. Biden's War, begun by [[Obama]] in 2014, is now Trump's war. [[Bannon]] was right. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottomline: Trump didn't have to make a formal proclamation, but he did anyway. Going forward, the Russians can only interpret this as bad faith out of spite. Between [[FDR]] saying &amp;quot;no separate peace&amp;quot; or Papa Bush promising &amp;quot;not one inch east&amp;quot;, the Russians have no confidence in Western, UK, or American words, written or oral promises.

{{Cquote|[Trump]'s dead wrong on both [[World War I]] and [[World War II]]. I won't talk about World War I, but I will talk about World War II where of course he's dead wrong. And also I think he's showing great disrespect to [[Russia]] and to the former [[Soviet Union]] for the enormous price that they paid in defeating the [[Wehrmacht]] in World War II....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The real danger is it just shows disrespect for other people. Number one, I think if you're in Russia today, which is of course the principal remnant state left over from when the Soviet Union collapsed, this is deeply offensive. Just think about the sacrifice that Russia/the Soviet Union played to defeat [[Nazi Germany]]. And here you have [[President Trump]] disrespecting that great sacrifice, disrespecting this country. But furthermore, when Trump makes comments like that which are so at odds with the historical record, it really cast doubt or doubts on his judgment. It's truly remarkable that he would make such a foolish statement. Someone who is the president of the [[United States]] should simply know better. And I know that we've reached the point where we just say &amp;quot;Well this is Donald Trump, and you know he just says a lot of outrageous things&amp;quot;. He contradicts himself from one day to another, and it really doesn't matter because it's just Donald Trump and everybody understands that. But I don't believe that's true. I think it says a lot about his judgment. And I think it says a lot about whether you can [[trust]] the man because he's saying one thing one day and another thing another day. And much of what he says is simply not true. So if you're a foreign leader, and you're looking at the United States and you're thinking about how to deal with Donald Trump, you have to scratch your head and say &amp;quot;Is he a reliable negotiating partner?&amp;quot; And I think the answer in most cases is no.}}&lt;br /&gt;

[https://youtu.be/prGQ-sbFMY4 Judge Napolitani interview with Mearsheimer]:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|'''Judge Napolitano:''' In an interview with ''[[Meet the Press]]'' [Trump] made this rather startling statement that Russia is interested in taking &amp;quot;all of Ukraine&amp;quot;, just as [[Biden|President Biden]] did.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Mearsheimer:''' Yeah, I saw that clip. And he also says in the clip President Trump, that it's only because of him that they haven't taken all of Ukraine. Uh, I mean this is delusional, on both counts. First of all, there is zero evidence that the Russians have been interested in conquering all of Ukraine. Just zero evidence. They don't have the capability to do that. And furthermore, the idea that they were bent on it and Donald Trump stopped them is kind of a laughable argument. The guy has been in office only since January 20th and he certainly has not stopped them in that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Judge Napolitano:''' What does this tell you about either his understanding of the relationship between Ukraine and Russia or his listening to [[neocon]]s whispering in his ear, or his political chicainery with the rest of us? Maybe he wants us to think that [[Putin]] wants all of Ukraine and when he ends up with just [[Crimea]] and the four oblasts Trump will take credit for having saved the rest of Ukraine. Who knows what's going through his mind. But there is no evidence, whatsoever, from anywhere on the [[planet]] that Putin wants all of Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Mearsheimer:''' Exactly. And this gets back to his claim the other day that we won both [[World War I]] and [[World War II]]. When you hear those kind of comments, you say &amp;quot;What planet is this guy living on?&amp;quot; This just makes no sense at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Judge Napolitano:''' How does this play in the [[Kremlin]], Professor Mearsheimer, when he makes a statement like this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Mearsheimer:''' Well, I think that it basically means that you don't know what Trump is really thinking because he changes his tune from day to day. So you really can't trust anything he says.  And furthermore, even if you get a deal, let's say we work out a deal. How much faith can you put in him to keep that deal and to not walk away from it at some point? So this is a huge problem for us in terms of dealing with the [[Russian]]s. And, by the way, it's also a huge problem for us in terms of dealing with the [[Iranian]]s. You know, the Iranians remember very well that he walked away from the [[JCPOA]] which they thought was an agreement that was going to be kept by the [[United States]]. But Trump walked away. And if the Russians cut a deal with Trump, and they make concessions to Trump to get that deal, can they trust that he won't welch on the deal shortly thereafter? And the answer is, no. And this really gets in the way of negotiating a settlement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Judge Napolitano:'''  So in the past 10 days Trump has claimed that the United States was largely responsible for defeating [[Nazi Germany]] and not the Russians. He has claimed that Russia has lost over a million men in the Ukraine conflict, and he has dispatched [[General Kellogg]], yet again. And I'll play a clip from him just yesterday to offer a [[peace]] plan that he knows is dead in the water. What does this tell the Kremlin?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Mearsheimer:''' Again, it tells the Kremlin that his policy is incoherent. That there's just, you know, no clear policy objective. And no strategy for achieving that objective. I mean, what else can the Kremlin conclude? I mean, the Kremlin has a vested interest in playing nice with Trump and not picking a fight with him, and pretending that they're still willing to work out a deal. But I would imagine that behind closed doors the Russians are thinking that we can't place much faith in Trump. And even if we get a deal, we can't place much faith in that deal. What we have to do is we have to position ourselves on the battlefield in ways that ensure our security once the shooting stops and you get a frozen conflict.}}&lt;br /&gt;

== Was our support for Donald Trump all in vain? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've had a love-hate relationship with President Trump ever since he came down that escalator. I initially refused to take him seriously, then I tolerated him, then I hated him because of his attacks on Ted Cruz. In hindsight I'll admit he was right about Lyin' Ted. Shortly before the election I came around and voted for him. And I was initially pleasantly surprised. But then he began hiring neocons like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, and allowing them to hijack his foreign policy. He also put a knife in the economy by promoting and signing the CARES Act, which is a major reason inflation has been such a problem in the post-COVID era. So in 2020, I voted third party. However, I was always open to give Trump another chance in case he decided to run again and demonstrated that he learned from his first term mistakes. On Election Day 2024, I was confident he had learned from those mistakes, so I voted for him once again. Six months later, it's becoming more and more apparent that I was wrong. He hasn't learned from those mistakes. And no event makes that more evident than [https://apnews.com/article/ahmad-alsharaa-trump-syria-bashar-al-assad-6facdef5b881286955b95e0c5b2704d7 his decision to normalize relations with the al-Qaeda regime in Syria].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This begs the question. Was our support for Trump all in vain? Most of us here understand what an America First administration should look like. And this ain't it. Instead of going after the countries which serve the Deep State, Trump is befriending them and even backing them against countries which resist the Deep State. And he and his surrogates expect, no, ''demand'' that we accept that. But if we're to be ideologically honest, we can't. And ''I'' won't.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 18:58, May 13, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Following up in response to Trump's meeting with al-Jolani. Here's what I think is going on. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Middle East is currently divided into three camps. One led by Iran, one led by Saudi Arabia, and one led by Turkey. Iran and Saudi Arabia are bitter enemies, while Turkey is a &amp;quot;swing power&amp;quot; which goes back and forth between aligning with Iran against Saudi Arabia, aligning with Saudi Arabia against Iran, and opposing both countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between 2011 and 2016, Turkey was firmly aligned with Saudi Arabia against Iran. Their alliance began to deteriorate after the successful coup in Egypt, and collapsed completely following the attempted coup in Turkey itself. While they both continued to support the Syrian jihadis against Assad, they no longer trusted each other and from that point forward treated each other as enemies rather than allies. Meanwhile, Turkey attempted rapprochement with Iran, with limited success. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then last December, the Syrian jihadists finally overthrew Assad. The Turkish-Iranian rapprochement collapsed, leaving Turkey with just two allies in the region: Qatar and the new Syrian regime. Meanwhile, post-Assad Syria became a potential flashpoint between Saudi Arabia and Turkey as the new regime's loyalties are tested. At this time, it appears to be more aligned with Turkey than with Saudi Arabia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enter Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Both seek to normalize relations with post-Assad Syria, defying the long-standing conventional wisdom concerning their foreign policy. However, it appears that they are seeking normalization for completely different reasons. Trump's main concern is containing Iran, he is thus is willing to overlook past transgressions so he could expand the Abraham Accords to include radical Sunni regimes like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, and post-Assad Syria. On the other hand, Putin's main concern is eliminating American influence in the region. The primary target of this policy is Saudi Arabia, he is thus willing to overlook past transgressions so he could forge an anti-Saudi alliance led by Turkey and Iran. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To summarize, Turkey, Qatar, and post-Assad Syria a swing bloc. Trump and Putin are competing for their favor, in the process abandoning their long-standing policies against Sunni extremism. I personally find it really embarrassing to watch, and I say that in an just world their efforts would blow up in their faces. But this world is not nor has it ever been just. Nor will it ever be just until Christ returns.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 23:02, May 14, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

:At this point I fully expect World War III to break out within the next decade. Of course the region where it starts will determine whether it's remembered like World War I or like World War II.

I also have this to say about the two countries which are pushing Trump the hardest to do this: Saudi Arabia and Israel. On the former, I've never believed that MBS is a true reformer. I've always believed that he is a stealth fanatic masquerading as a reformer so he could make his country more effective at waging jihad. So I'm not at all surprised that he's pushing Trump to do this. The sooner Iran takes out the Saudi regime, the better. As for Israel, Netanyahu has completely destroyed any goodwill I've ever had for Israel, possibly forever. One thing's for certain, as long as he, Likud, or any similar political movements are in charge, I will never support Israel again. In fact, I'm tempted to start supporting the Palestinians (but not Hamas, as they also support the Syrian regime).

One more thing. To hell with the Abraham Accords. Its premise is a lie, it's not about peace but rather (more) war. Specifically, war against Iran and its allies, who at this point have the moral high ground and have had the moral high ground for years. But then again, just about any of our so-called &amp;quot;enemies&amp;quot; (who are actually enemies of the Deep State rather than the American people) at this point have the moral high ground and have had the moral high ground for years.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 15:01, May 20, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==On summitry==&lt;br /&gt;
Seems there is interest in summits between foreign leaders. When summits occur, it is to put the final seal on agreements already made at lower levels. For example, the Boeing jet gifted to the United States by whoever represents an earlier negotiation worked out with all legal ramifications, both domestically and internationally, in advance. It was not, as reported, like Trump attending a surprise birthday party. Every word spoken by leaders is scripted in advance so there is no confusion or misinterpretation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Likewise the calls by [[Zelensky]] for an unscripted summit with [[Putin]] are made by a person and people who believe in top-down [[dictatorship]]. They believe in the supreme power of [[dictator]] - that a dictator (or two dictators who don't trust each other), can sit down at an unscripted summit, make agreements, and return home to dictate to flunkies how to proceed. This is nonsense, absurd nonsense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump said he and Putin may have a summit in a few weeks. This means negotiators are scripting the agreements the leaders will ratify at a summit meeting. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 00:47, May 17, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Example: Many cultural [[idiom]]s need to be discussed and overcome. In 1972 [[Nixon]] didn't just hop on a plane and fly to [[Moscow]] &amp;amp; [[Beijing]]. Careful advance preparation was made. Nixon requested to visit the [[Great Wall of China]], but was informed it was a symbol of [[oppression]] in China. It was built by the [[slave]] labor of [[tyrannical]] regimes, and many Chinese ancestors' bones are buried in the Wall. To Chinese, it is likened to [[Auschwitz]], and Nixon's request and visit might be misunderstood. The Americans (of course) countered that if China &amp;amp; the [[United States]] were to normalize relations, the Great Wall could become a good source of [[revenue]] via [[tourism]], and Nixon's visit could help promote it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Summits are not spontaneous events like [[Zelensky]] believes or [[Trump]] implies.&lt;br /&gt;

===A more realistic account of the Trump-Putin phone call [https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/putin-trump-phone-call-deadend-afu]===&lt;br /&gt;
:''Despite both sides drumming up the call’s significance as a good step forward toward normalizing relations, it achieved nothing. The reason: Putin again repeated to Trump that “root causes” of the conflict must be addressed, and shortly after, Zelensky declared in a press conference that Ukraine will never demilitarize and never give up its territories; the impasse stands as before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:''Trump did decline to order a new round of sanctions on Russia...''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Conservative]] is still under the delusion that Trump's threats of sanctions, made for domestic consumption, carries some weight or has meaning. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 03:01, May 20, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump said he'd end the war in 24 hrs. He didn't.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump said he'd end the war in 100 days. He didn't.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump said the [[Houthis]] caved. They didn't.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'll bet $100 [[User:Conservative]] continues to [[naive]]ly fall for whatever Trump says for domestic consumption again and again in [[foreign policy]] (cause [[User:Conservative]] has no discernment). In foreign affairs, like in military conflict, you hold your cards close to your chest, and don't publicize your [[strategy]] in the press. But [[User:Conservative]] hasn't figured that out yet.&lt;br /&gt;

:Each will submit a separate, written proposal of what they deem necessary for a ceasefire. However, read the fine print: there is no deadline on submitting the proposals.

Anything Trump, Rubio, Zelensky or the global &amp;amp; US media propaganda apparatus says about Putin &amp;quot;stalling&amp;quot; is [[BS]].

KRISTEN WELKER:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This Sunday: out of office. My exclusive interview with former Vice President Mike Pence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FMR. VICE PRES. MIKE PENCE:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've never been a fan of American presidents criticizing America on foreign soil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
KRISTEN WELKER:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His thoughts on the second Trump administration and the direction of the Republican Party.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FMR. VICE PRES. MIKE PENCE:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There's no question in this administration that he is surrounded, it appears to me, with people that -- that nurtured his more protectionist instincts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
KRISTEN WELKER:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Plus: trade tensions. President Trump returns from his trip to the Middle East amid new concerns about his trade war, as the world’s largest retailer warns higher prices are on the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
KRISTEN WELKER:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good Sunday morning. President Trump returns to Washington after his trip to the Middle East, and he is touting what he says are new critical investments in the U.S. economy. It comes as his agenda back home is facing new challenges, and as he's planning for direct phone calls with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine on Monday. Against that backdrop, I sat down with his former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday at his home in Indiana.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[START TAPE]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
KRISTEN WELKER:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let me ask you about President Trump's first official overseas trip to the Middle East --&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FMR. VICE PRES. MIKE PENCE:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yeah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
KRISTEN WELKER:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-- this week, where he met with the newly installed president of Syria. He dropped all of the sanctions against that country despite Israel's opposition. The trip included stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, but he did not stop in Israel. Sir, what message do you think President Trump's trip sent to Israel overall?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FMR. VICE PRES. MIKE PENCE:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, first off, I think it was a very successful trip for the American economy. The president secured financial commitments in all three countries, including a historic contract for purchasing Boeing aircraft that'll really support American jobs. And I don't gainsay that. But, Kristen, I've never been a fan of American presidents criticizing America on foreign soil. And to have the president in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror, and describing it as nation-building and interventionist, I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform and who took the fight to our enemy, you know, in Afghanistan and in Iraq. And particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia, where 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers hailed from, not including Osama bin Laden, I thought was unfortunate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
KRISTEN WELKER:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
KRISTEN WELKER:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let me ask you about another aspect of President Trump's trip. He said that he was going to accept a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar to use as a temporary Air Force One. He said he'll eventually donate that to his presidential library. Do you think President Trump should accept a military aircraft from Qatar?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FMR. VICE PRES. MIKE PENCE:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, I think first we've got to remember who Qatar is. We've got a military base there. I have members of our immediate family that have deployed to the region. But Qatar has a long history of playing both sides. They support Hamas. They supported Al Qaeda. Qatar has actually financed pro-Hamas protests on American campuses across the United States. So, the very idea that we would accept an Air Force One from Qatar I think is inconsistent with our security, with our intelligence needs. And my hope is the president reconsiders it. I think if Qatar wants to make a gift to the United States, they ought to take that $400 million and plow it into infrastructure on our military base.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
KRISTEN WELKER:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So you're saying President Trump should turn down this plane?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FMR. VICE PRES. MIKE PENCE:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think he should. I think -- look, others have observed or there are profound issues, the potential for intelligence gathering, the need to ensure the president of the United States is safe and secure as he travels around the world and of course also there are very real constitutional issues. The Constitution prohibits public officials from accepting a present, in the words of the Constitution, a present from a foreign state. Now they may have some basis through chain of title for avoiding that, but I think it's just a bad idea, and my hope is the president will think better of it.&lt;br /&gt;

Lesson from history: the &amp;quot;Polish government-in-exile&amp;quot; formed in 1939 didn't go out of business until 1989; the reason: they held the title to Polish gold reserves held in London and the United States, and didn't turn them over to [[Warsaw]] until after the Polish Soviet Socialist Republic went out of business. Of course, nobody voted for the Polish government-in-exile either, which by 1989 had re-located to an apartment in [[Chicago]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The recent hit job in [[Spain]] on a disciple of [[Yanukovych]], who was removed more than 10 years ago, is probably another  sign the end is nearing, as [[Nazi]]s are clearing up old business while they still have a global reach with US taxpayer help.

Between May 19 and May 25, 2025, Ukraine conducted a significant escalation in its [[drone]] campaign against Russia, launching over 700 drones across various regions....Just imagine how Donald Trump would react if Mexican drug cartels launched 700 attack drones into the United States.

Alastair Crooke: [https://youtu.be/MeeE1qavSg0 Is Trump Missing the Boat?]&lt;br /&gt;
:''It seems that Trump doesn't know that there were a thousand [[drone]]s fired into Russia by Ukraine in the days preceding this last Russian [[missile]] assault. And he didn't seem to know that they threatened [[Putin]]'s own helicopter traveling from [[Moscow]] to [[Kursk]], accidentally or not. But he did not seem to know it. Who's briefing him? And as I say, there is not any sort of sense that it is possible to have a serious discussion because this transactional approach, that it's just a matter of how many oblasts who gives up and what, misses the fact that this is a deep and protracted conflict between Ukraine and Russia. And it goes back a long way, as Putin has explained. And parts of it irreconcilable. This is why you can't just simply sort of say, 'oh let's just, you know, cut off this oblast and that oblast, we have a deal'. And we can have a ceasefire. And we can put off any political discussion to the long term, as they did in [[Korea]]. I mean, this is absolutely nonsense. And the credibility, and '''I mean this point when I say, this is a pivot point. Credibility of the [[United States]] and the [[Senate]] is destroyed in this period now.''' Putin is going to go on playing along with it and trying to manage the, you know, delicate American psyche as he sees it in the Senate, and see how much that can be managed. But everyone understands. &lt;br /&gt;
:''So the pressure on Putin is not coming from, what was the case where they felt he wasn't doing enough to win it. They now know perfectly well that Putin understands a deal is almost impossible to conceive with [[America]] now, unless [[Trump]] is able to show that he has the [[political]] clout to be able to say something, and to mean it, and to take it forward in political action. And they don't see that. And that of course means that we're heading towards escalation. In fact, I mean, it means escalation is inevitable.''&lt;br /&gt;

The fact that he does not recognize the difference between his own personality and leadership and that of the [[US government]] is one of the problems we have [[constitutional]]ly in the [[United States]] at the moment. The United States has been a co-[[belligerent]], very much so, in this war. You cannot instantly then assume, chuck that identity and become a mediator, a neutral mediator. We're not neutral, a neutral mediator. We're still arming Ukraine. We're still supporting Ukraine. And so the notion that somehow we are mediating, as the Turks and Israelis did at one point between Ukraine and Russia, is simply preposterous. And it doesn't have any credibility. Second, I believe there is an unstated, very [[naive]] presupposition at work here. And that is that there is a dichotomy - you're either fighting or you're negotiating. But as we saw in [[Korea]], we saw in [[Vietnam]] and elsewhere, in fact fighting can continue while negotiations proceed. And indeed the level of combat becomes an element in the negotiation. It is a support for your position.''&lt;br /&gt;

:Helmer: ''Trump has lost the normal machinery of government that coordinates what a president understands and knows and learns each day and then coordinates and mobilizes what he has to say in response day by day, hour by hour. We know that there's been a massive purge inside the [[State Department]]. We know that there's a purge underway in the [[National Security Council]]. We know that there's a purge underway at the [[Pentagon]]. And we know that there's a purge underway in the [[intelligence service]]s. Now this is not the normal turnover of the 6,000 or more presidential appointees who come in with a change of administration. What Trump is doing goes beyond that - to purge the mainline agencies of their professionals, let's call it the their underlying [[deep state]]. The permanent employees for disloyalty and they're subject to loyalty tests. When you remove large numbers of people like that, you do two things: first of all you stop the flow of paper going into the National Security Council, you purge the National Security Council of most of its desk offices....without a deep staff when you have the same thing going on at these other agencies you're basically creating a structure that doesn't inform the president in a timely fashion and doesn't regulate, coordinate, and produce a feedback loop of what he has to say.''&lt;br /&gt;
:''What he has to say is visible in this system of [[tweet]]s. Over the last 48 hours or a bit more the Russian side has commented on this - blowing off of steam. Presidential spokesman [[Dmitri Peskov]] said there's [[emotion]]al overload there....Second, over the last few hours what we've seen is a concerted effort on the part of the [[Kremlin]] spokesman and [[Zakharova|Foreign Ministry spokesman]] to say President Trump is not being properly informed. Therefore he says things, he shoots off his mouth without a brain attached, it's polite but it's warning Trump of a sociological process which he himself has launched for his reasons, for loyalist reasons. He's in fact created a machine that's running out of his control. And he isn't being informed. We've talked about this before. The president's official log shows that he doesn't get a daily intelligence briefing. He gets one a week. And that's less common than his lunch with the Vice President. So he's getting briefed by people close to him, or people who have a particular agency line or policy line or ideological line to run, but he doesn't have the system to weigh checks and balances inside his own in his own office, and that's something the Russian side's concerned about.''&lt;br /&gt;

Because while Hegseth may have his own interventionist tendencies, the neocon wing of the Trump's staff hate him for questioning some of their &amp;quot;party line,&amp;quot; so they want him gone. Meanwhile, you have Hegseth staffers who have been fired for &amp;quot;leaking,&amp;quot; only to go on Tucker Carlson and accuse their former colleagues of framing them for similar reasons. So now that Signalgate failed to get Hegseth himself fired, the neocons are using similar tactics against Hegseth's staffers so that he is surrounded by nobody but ideologues in the Pentagon. If they can't break him, they'll try to re-make him. Absolutely disgusting. Trump shouldn't have reassigned Waltz to the UN, he should've straight up fired him.

:I don't know if all of these polls are &amp;quot;fake&amp;quot;. Some could just be incompetent or unreliable because they don't use polls based on likely voters which are more expensive to conduct. You have to be more ingenuous/flexible via indirect methods and use a wider variety of the types of polling to capture the hidden Trump/conservative voters which are more difficult to poll. For example, ask questions on how they think their neighbors are going to vote so the demonization of Trump is mitigated in the polling.

==Jack Hunter: Waltz’s Demotion Should Begin a Neocon Purge==&lt;br /&gt;
Jack Hunter at ''The American Conservative'' contends that Signalgate was no accident, that Michael Waltz and Jeffrey Goldberg have indeed been in cahoots, given both their prior joint appearances and their shared interest in promoting neoconservative ideology. He also contends that &amp;quot;a true ‘America First’ foreign policy and neoconservatism are incompatible,&amp;quot; and that it is time that President Trump stop deluding himself into believing otherwise. In Hunter's opinion, Trump should've done what Hunter suggests Trump do now, a long time ago. But alas, Trump is a forgiving man. He has given the neocons more than enough chances to work with him so they could together develop a policy which could make both sides happy. However, the neocons have blown every chance Trump has given them, and Signalgate should be the final straw.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his article, Hunter calls for Trump to do a &amp;quot;neocon purge.&amp;quot; And although Hunter ultimately stops short of outright stating a detailed strategy, from my perspective he gives a good idea of what Trump's base should demand that Trump do on their behalf. This implied strategy consists of four tasks:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*1. Revoking his nomination of Waltz as UN Ambassador, and instead booting him out of the administration altogether.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*2. Firing Marco Rubio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*3. Revoking his endorsement of Lindsey Graham's re-election campaign, and instead endorsing one of his primary challengers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*4. Recruiting someone to try to primary out Tom Cotton.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==May 8 Victory Day?==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Cold War]] began almost as immediately as surrender documents were signed by [[Nazi Germany]]. The [[UK]] violated the agreement made by the [[Allies]] at the [[Teheran Conference]] not to accept a separate peace. While the [[Red Army]] battled German forces in the streets of [[Berlin]], UK forces accepted a formal signed surrender document from Hitler's designated successor Adm [[Doenitz]] in north Germany on May 8. The same night just before midnight, commander of German forces Gen [[Jodl]] surrendered to Soviet forces in the capital of Germany, Berlin. The news was reported to Moscow, which is 3 hours earlier, after 2 AM. So the Soviet's proclaimed [[May 9]] [[Victory Day]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This inability of &amp;quot;the Allies&amp;quot; to keep agreements and even agree on when [[World War II]] ended marked the beginning of the [[Cold War]]. Now [[President Trump]] by official proclamation declares May 8 &amp;quot;Victory Day&amp;quot;. This is highly insulting to Russian families who made the sacrifice and lost family in the war. Trump knows this, or should know this. Unfortunately, it unofficially marks the beginning of [[Cold War II]], and is readily an admission of President Trump's failure to keep his promise to end the NATO [[proxy war]] in 24 hours or 100 days. Biden's War, begun by [[Obama]] in 2014, is now Trump's war. [[Bannon]] was right. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bottomline: Trump didn't have to make a formal proclamation, but he did anyway. Going forward, the Russians can only interpret this as bad faith out of spite. Between [[FDR]] saying &amp;quot;no separate peace&amp;quot; or Papa Bush promising &amp;quot;not one inch east&amp;quot;, the Russians have no confidence in Western, UK, or American words, written or oral promises.

{{Cquote|[Trump]'s dead wrong on both [[World War I]] and [[World War II]]. I won't talk about World War I, but I will talk about World War II where of course he's dead wrong.

&lt;br /&gt;
[...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The real danger is it just shows disrespect for other people. Number one, I think if you're in Russia today, which is of course the principal remnant state left over from when the Soviet Union collapsed, this is deeply offensive. Just think about the sacrifice that Russia/the Soviet Union played to defeat [[Nazi Germany]]. And here you have [[President Trump]] disrespecting that great sacrifice, disrespecting this country. But furthermore, when Trump makes comments like that which are so at odds with the historical record, it really cast doubt or doubts on his judgment. It's truly remarkable that he would make such a foolish statement. Someone who is the president of the [[United States]] should simply know better. And I know that we've reached the point where we just say &amp;quot;Well this is Donald Trump, and you know he just says a lot of outrageous things&amp;quot;. He contradicts himself from one day to another, and it really doesn't matter because it's just Donald Trump and everybody understands that. But I don't believe that's true. I think it says a lot about his judgment. And I think it says a lot about whether you can [[trust]] the man because he's saying one thing one day and another thing another day. And much of what he says is simply not true. So if you're a foreign leader, and you're looking at the United States and you're thinking about how to deal with Donald Trump, you have to scratch your head and say &amp;quot;Is he a reliable negotiating partner?&amp;quot; And I think the answer in most cases is no.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''Judge Napolitano:''' In an interview with ''[[Meet the Press]]'' [Trump] made this rather startling statement that Russia is interested in taking &amp;quot;all of Ukraine&amp;quot;, just as [[Biden|President Biden]] did.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Mearsheimer:''' Yeah, I saw that clip. And he also says in the clip President Trump, that it's only because of him that they haven't taken all of Ukraine. Uh, I mean this is delusional, on both counts. First of all, there is zero evidence that the Russians have been interested in conquering all of Ukraine. Just zero evidence. They don't have the capability to do that. And furthermore, the idea that they were bent on it and Donald Trump stopped them is kind of a laughable argument. The guy has been in office only since January 20th and he certainly has not stopped them in that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Judge Napolitano:''' What does this tell you about either his understanding of the relationship between Ukraine and Russia or his listening to [[neocon]]s whispering in his ear, or his political chicainery with the rest of us? Maybe he wants us to think that [[Putin]] wants all of Ukraine and when he ends up with just [[Crimea]] and the four oblasts Trump will take credit for having saved the rest of Ukraine. Who knows what's going through his mind. But there is no evidence, whatsoever, from anywhere on the [[planet]] that Putin wants all of Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Mearsheimer:''' Exactly. And this gets back to his claim the other day that we won both [[World War I]] and [[World War II]]. When you hear those kind of comments, you say &amp;quot;What planet is this guy living on?&amp;quot; This just makes no sense at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Judge Napolitano:''' How does this play in the [[Kremlin]], Professor Mearsheimer, when he makes a statement like this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Mearsheimer:''' Well, I think that it basically means that you don't know what Trump is really thinking because he changes his tune from day to day. So you really can't trust anything he says.  And furthermore, even if you get a deal, let's say we work out a deal. How much faith can you put in him to keep that deal and to not walk away from it at some point? So this is a huge problem for us in terms of dealing with the [[Russian]]s. And, by the way, it's also a huge problem for us in terms of dealing with the [[Iranian]]s. You know, the Iranians remember very well that he walked away from the [[JCPOA]] which they thought was an agreement that was going to be kept by the [[United States]]. But Trump walked away. And if the Russians cut a deal with Trump, and they make concessions to Trump to get that deal, can they trust that he won't welch on the deal shortly thereafter? And the answer is, no. And this really gets in the way of negotiating a settlement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Judge Napolitano:'''  So in the past 10 days Trump has claimed that the United States was largely responsible for defeating [[Nazi Germany]] and not the Russians. He has claimed that Russia has lost over a million men in the Ukraine conflict, and he has dispatched [[General Kellogg]], yet again. And I'll play a clip from him just yesterday to offer a [[peace]] plan that he knows is dead in the water. What does this tell the Kremlin?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Mearsheimer:''' Again, it tells the Kremlin that his policy is incoherent. That there's just, you know, no clear policy objective. And no strategy for achieving that objective. I mean, what else can the Kremlin conclude? I mean, the Kremlin has a vested interest in playing nice with Trump and not picking a fight with him, and pretending that they're still willing to work out a deal. But I would imagine that behind closed doors the Russians are thinking that we can't place much faith in Trump. And even if we get a deal, we can't place much faith in that deal. What we have to do is we have to position ourselves on the battlefield in ways that ensure our security once the shooting stops and you get a frozen conflict.}}&lt;br /&gt;

== Was our support for Donald Trump all in vain? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've had a love-hate relationship with President Trump ever since he came down that escalator. I initially refused to take him seriously, then I tolerated him, then I hated him because of his attacks on Ted Cruz. In hindsight I'll admit he was right about Lyin' Ted. Shortly before the election I came around and voted for him. And I was initially pleasantly surprised. But then he began hiring neocons like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, and allowing them to hijack his foreign policy. He also put a knife in the economy by promoting and signing the CARES Act, which is a major reason inflation has been such a problem in the post-COVID era. So in 2020, I voted third party. However, I was always open to give Trump another chance in case he decided to run again and demonstrated that he learned from his first term mistakes. On Election Day 2024, I was confident he had learned from those mistakes, so I voted for him once again. Six months later, it's becoming more and more apparent that I was wrong. He hasn't learned from those mistakes. And no event makes that more evident than [https://apnews.com/article/ahmad-alsharaa-trump-syria-bashar-al-assad-6facdef5b881286955b95e0c5b2704d7 his decision to normalize relations with the al-Qaeda regime in Syria].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This begs the question. Was our support for Trump all in vain? Most of us here understand what an America First administration should look like. And this ain't it. Instead of going after the countries which serve the Deep State, Trump is befriending them and even backing them against countries which resist the Deep State. And he and his surrogates expect, no, ''demand'' that we accept that. But if we're to be ideologically honest, we can't. And ''I'' won't.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 18:58, May 13, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

:There is some valid criticism there. On the vital life-and-death issue of peace and war, it's almost a debate between lying vs incompetence. At least that's how it shapes up as a 2026 Midterm election issue. OTOH, by-passing war with [[Iran]] is an open question yet. There still a lot of balls up in the air in this juggling act.

&lt;br /&gt;
Following up in response to Trump's meeting with al-Jolani. Here's what I think is going on. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Middle East is currently divided into three camps. One led by Iran, one led by Saudi Arabia, and one led by Turkey. Iran and Saudi Arabia are bitter enemies, while Turkey is a &amp;quot;swing power&amp;quot; which goes back and forth between aligning with Iran against Saudi Arabia, aligning with Saudi Arabia against Iran, and opposing both countries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between 2011 and 2016, Turkey was firmly aligned with Saudi Arabia against Iran. Their alliance began to deteriorate after the successful coup in Egypt, and collapsed completely following the attempted coup in Turkey itself. While they both continued to support the Syrian jihadis against Assad, they no longer trusted each other and from that point forward treated each other as enemies rather than allies. Meanwhile, Turkey attempted rapprochement with Iran, with limited success. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then last December, the Syrian jihadists finally overthrew Assad. The Turkish-Iranian rapprochement collapsed, leaving Turkey with just two allies in the region: Qatar and the new Syrian regime. Meanwhile, post-Assad Syria became a potential flashpoint between Saudi Arabia and Turkey as the new regime's loyalties are tested. At this time, it appears to be more aligned with Turkey than with Saudi Arabia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Enter Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Both seek to normalize relations with post-Assad Syria, defying the long-standing conventional wisdom concerning their foreign policy. However, it appears that they are seeking normalization for completely different reasons. Trump's main concern is containing Iran, he is thus is willing to overlook past transgressions so he could expand the Abraham Accords to include radical Sunni regimes like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, and post-Assad Syria. On the other hand, Putin's main concern is eliminating American influence in the region. The primary target of this policy is Saudi Arabia, he is thus willing to overlook past transgressions so he could forge an anti-Saudi alliance led by Turkey and Iran. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To summarize, Turkey, Qatar, and post-Assad Syria a swing bloc. Trump and Putin are competing for their favor, in the process abandoning their long-standing policies against Sunni extremism. I personally find it really embarrassing to watch, and I say that in an just world their efforts would blow up in their faces. But this world is not nor has it ever been just. Nor will it ever be just until Christ returns.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 23:02, May 14, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:At this point I fully expect World War III to break out within the next decade. Of course the region where it starts will determine whether it's remembered like World War I or like World War II. If it starts in the Middle East because of Trump and Putin's about faces on al-Qaeda, then like World War I before it, it will be remembered as one of the stupidest wars in history.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 23:07, May 14, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

==On summitry==&lt;br /&gt;
Seems there is interest in summits between foreign leaders. When summits occur, it is to put the final seal on agreements already made at lower levels. For example, the Boeing jet gifted to the United States by whoever represents an earlier negotiation worked out with all legal ramifications, both domestically and internationally, in advance. It was not, as reported, like Trump attending a surprise birthday party. Every word spoken by leaders is scripted in advance so there is no confusion or misinterpretation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Likewise the calls by [[Zelensky]] for an unscripted summit with [[Putin]] are made by a person and people who believe in top-down [[dictatorship]]. They believe in the supreme power of [[dictator]] - that a dictator (or two dictators who don't trust each other), can sit down at an unscripted summit, make agreements, and return home to dictate to flunkies how to proceed. This is nonsense, absurd nonsense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==US-Iran Negotiations: Why an Agreement Looks Unlikely==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Personally, I'm still optimistic for a positive outcome to avoid war with Iran and this piece paints Trump as too much of a [[warmonger]]. But it is an important read for balance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One note: Trump misrepresented the talks as &amp;quot;direct&amp;quot;. They are not direct. The two delegations meet in separate rooms. If by chance they decide to meet face-to-face during the negotiations, that would be a positive outcome. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 09:03, April 12, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Where does this term &amp;quot;interventionalism&amp;quot; come from that has been [[spammed]] into more than a dozen pages on [[Conservapedia]]?==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
While though seemingly minor, it's only one example of [[User:Conservative]]'s refusal to engage in constructive discussion about his editing, as well as the problem of fixing Mainspaces with his [[spam]] &amp;amp; [[blather]]. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 12:31, April 12, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What happened==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Trump]] &amp;quot;hammered [[China]] with [[tariff]]s&amp;quot;, to use [[User:Conservative]]'s phrase that he [[spammed]] into dozens of Mainspace and talk pages over many months. Hammering China with tariffs lasted about 48 hours. Trump ratcheted it up to 145%. China reciprocated with 125% on all US goods. Then Trump exempted electronics. China has not rescinded its 125% tariffs on all [[US]] made goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Trump says, &amp;quot;we'll negotiate&amp;quot;. Well, Xi has no intention to call Trump. Trump is now isolated. Only [[Putin]] is willing to talk to Trump. Putin can relay messages back and forth with Xi. In fact, it was Putin's idea and Putin set up the Iran-US talks, which maybe we can avert [[war]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[coalition]] is beginning to fray. With nitwits like [[User:Conservative]] as spokesmen for the [[conservative movement]], can't blame [[voter]]s for bailing. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 16:37, April 13, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So what happens next? Suppose you are someone whose [[job]] depends on selling to [[China]]. The boss comes to you with a pink slip and says, &amp;quot;Son, I'm sorry. We're going to have to lay you off. We're just not selling anything anymore (it's that idiot Trump's fault)&amp;quot;. These people are your friends, relatives, and neighbors. What do you tell them?

&lt;br /&gt;
:Trump's first round of tariffs on April 2 was about nostalgia for the manufacturing economy. That's a lost cause. Then Trump pivoted and made it all about China. But what does he want from China? If it's about opening the Chinese market, that won't be easy. Trump tried doing that in his first term without success. You can't appeal to Chinese public opinion. That doesn't exist.

&lt;br /&gt;
Personally, I'm still optimistic for a positive outcome to avoid war with Iran and this piece paints Trump as too much of a [[warmonger]]. But it is an important read for balance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One note: Trump misrepresented the talks as &amp;quot;direct&amp;quot;. They are not direct. The two delegations meet in separate rooms. If by chance they decide to meet face-to-face during the negotiations, that would be a positive outcome. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 09:03, April 12, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Where does this term &amp;quot;interventionalism&amp;quot; come from that has been [[spammed]] into more than a dozen pages on [[Conservapedia]]?==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
While though seemingly minor, it's only one example of [[User:Conservative]]'s refusal to engage in constructive discussion about his editing, as well as the problem of fixing Mainspaces with his [[spam]] &amp;amp; [[blather]]. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 12:31, April 12, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What happened==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Trump]] &amp;quot;hammered [[China]] with [[tariff]]s&amp;quot;, to use [[User:Conservative]]'s phrase that he [[spammed]] into dozens of Mainspace and talk pages over many months. Hammering China with tariffs lasted about 48 hours. Trump ratcheted it up to 145%. China reciprocated with 125% on all US goods. Then Trump exempted electronics. China has not rescinded its 125% tariffs on all [[US]] made goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Trump says, &amp;quot;we'll negotiate&amp;quot;. Well, Xi has no intention to call Trump. Trump is now isolated. Only [[Putin]] is willing to talk to Trump. Putin can relay messages back and forth with Xi. In fact, it was Putin's idea and Putin set up the Iran-US talks, which maybe we can avert [[war]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[coalition]] is beginning to fray. With nitwits like [[User:Conservative]] as spokesmen for the [[conservative movement]], can't blame [[voter]]s for bailing.

&lt;br /&gt;
So what happens next? Suppose you are someone whose [[job]] depends on selling to [[China]]. The boss comes to you with a pink slip and says, &amp;quot;Son, I'm sorry. We're going to have to lay you off. We're just not selling anything anymore (it's that idiot Trump's fault)&amp;quot;. These people are your friends, relatives, and neighbors. What do you tell them?

&lt;br /&gt;
:Trump's first round of tariffs on April 2 was about nostalgia for the manufacturing economy. That's a lost cause. Then Trump pivoted and made it all about China. But what does he want from China? If it's about opening the Chinese market, that won't be easy. Trump tried doing that in his first term without success. You can't appeal to Chinese public opinion. That doesn't exist.

Siegel was shot in the hand and his ribs were broken during the Oct. 7 attack. His wounds weren't treated until he was freed more than a year later. He said Hamas also '''tried to convert him to Islam.''' He was beaten at random and without warning, sexually assaulted, forced to watch as other hostages were beaten and assaulted, starved and humiliated, forced to make Hamas videos, spat on and forcibly shaved. He said he was kept alone in a locked room for six months.&lt;br /&gt;

==US-Iran Negotiations: Why an Agreement Looks Unlikely==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Personally, I'm still optimistic for a positive outcome to avoid war with Iran and this piece paints Trump as too much of a [[warmonger]]. But it is an important read for balance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One note: Trump misrepresented the talks as &amp;quot;direct&amp;quot;. They are not direct. The two delegations meet in separate rooms. If by chance they decide to meet face-to-face during the negotiations, that would be a positive outcome. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 09:03, April 12, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Where does this term &amp;quot;interventionalism&amp;quot; come from that has been [[spammed]] into more than a dozen pages on [[Conservapedia]]?==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
While though seemingly minor, it's only one example of [[User:Conservative]]'s refusal to engage in constructive discussion about his editing, as well as the problem of fixing Mainspaces with his [[spam]] &amp;amp; [[blather]]. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 12:31, April 12, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What happened==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Trump]] &amp;quot;hammered [[China]] with [[tariff]]s&amp;quot;, to use [[User:Conservative]]'s phrase that he [[spammed]] into dozens of Mainspace and talk pages over many months. Hammering China with tariffs lasted about 48 hours. Trump ratcheted it up to 145%. China reciprocated with 125% on all US goods. Then Trump exempted electronics. China has not rescinded its 125% tariffs on all [[US]] made goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Trump says, &amp;quot;we'll negotiate&amp;quot;. Well, Xi has no intention to call Trump. Trump is now isolated. Only [[Putin]] is willing to talk to Trump. Putin can relay messages back and forth with Xi. In fact, it was Putin's idea and Putin set up the Iran-US talks, which maybe we can avert [[war]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[coalition]] is beginning to fray. With nitwits like [[User:Conservative]] as spokesmen for the [[conservative movement]], can't blame [[voter]]s for bailing. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 16:37, April 13, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So what happens next? Suppose you are someone whose [[job]] depends on selling to [[China]]. The boss comes to you with a pink slip and says, &amp;quot;Son, I'm sorry. We're going to have to lay you off. We're just not selling anything anymore (it's that idiot Trump's fault)&amp;quot;. These people are your friends, relatives, and neighbors. What do you tell them? [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:01, April 13, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Trump's first round of tariffs on April 2 was about nostalgia for the manufacturing economy. That's a lost cause. Then Trump pivoted and made it all about China. But what does he want from China?

===Trump's weakness===&lt;br /&gt;
Trump calls Xi Jinping &amp;amp; Putin his &amp;quot;friends&amp;quot;, and in both cases openly asks for summit meetings to address denuclearization, war, and trade. Critics say these summits are to fuel his [[ego]] as a bigshot, hobnobbing with world leaders. All Putin &amp;amp; Xi need to do is refuse to meet or talk with him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And if Putin &amp;amp; Xi successfully isolate Trump by refusing his wishes, all that's left for Trump and his successor President Vance, President AOC or whoever is to continue the [[neocon]] [[foreign policy]] of [[Joe Biden]], calling [[Putin]] a &amp;quot;corrupt kleptocrat&amp;quot; and Xi an &amp;quot;authoritarian dictator&amp;quot;.

&lt;br /&gt;
Personally, I'm still optimistic for a positive outcome to avoid war with Iran and this piece paints Trump as too much of a [[warmonger]]. But it is an important read for balance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One note: Trump misrepresented the talks as &amp;quot;direct&amp;quot;. They are not direct. The two delegations meet in separate rooms. If by chance they decide to meet face-to-face during the negotiations, that would be a positive outcome. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 09:03, April 12, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Where does this term &amp;quot;interventionalism&amp;quot; come from that has been [[spammed]] into more than a dozen pages on [[Conservapedia]]?==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
While though seemingly minor, it's only one example of [[User:Conservative]]'s refusal to engage in constructive discussion about his editing, as well as the problem of fixing Mainspaces with his [[spam]] &amp;amp; [[blather]]. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 12:31, April 12, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What happened==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Trump]] &amp;quot;hammered [[China]] with [[tariff]]s&amp;quot;, to use [[User:Conservative]]'s phrase that he [[spammed]] into dozens of Mainspace and talk pages over many months. Hammering China with tariffs lasted about 48 hours. Trump ratcheted it up to 145%. China reciprocated with 125% on all US goods. Then Trump exempted electronics. China has not rescinded its 125% tariffs on all [[US]] made goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Trump says, &amp;quot;we'll negotiate&amp;quot;. Well, Xi has no intention to call Trump. Trump is now isolated. Only [[Putin]] is willing to talk to Trump. Putin can relay messages back and forth with Xi. In fact, it was Putin's idea and Putin set up the Iran-US talks, which maybe we can avert [[war]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[coalition]] is beginning to fray. With nitwits like [[User:Conservative]] as spokesmen for the [[conservative movement]], can't blame [[voter]]s for bailing. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 16:37, April 13, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So what happens next? Suppose you are someone whose [[job]] depends on selling to [[China]]. The boss comes to you with a pink slip and says, &amp;quot;Son, I'm sorry. We're going to have to lay you off. We're just not selling anything anymore (it's that idiot Trump's fault)&amp;quot;. These people are your friends, relatives, and neighbors. What do you tell them?

&lt;br /&gt;
:Trump's first round of tariffs on April 2 was about nostalgia for the manufacturing economy. That's a lost cause. Then Trump pivoted and made it all about China. But what does he want from China? If it's about opening the Chinese market, that won't be easy. Trump tried doing that in his first term without success. You can't appeal to Chinese public opinion. That doesn't exist. The Chinese people &amp;quot;follow the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party,&amp;quot; as the Constitution puts it.

Does the US have a precision guided [[cruise missile]] with big enough warhead to go more than 800km? I doubt it. Either way the S-500 (even the [[S-400]]) would knock it out first.&lt;br /&gt;

And the [[S-300]] now has been converted into just another battlefield [[artillery]] piece.

&lt;br /&gt;
And if Putin &amp;amp; Xi successfully isolate Trump by refusing his wishes, all that's left for Trump and his successor President Vance, President AOC or whoever is to continue the [[neocon]] [[foreign policy]] of [[Joe Biden]], calling [[Putin]] a &amp;quot;corrupt kleptocrat&amp;quot; and Xi an &amp;quot;authoritarian dictator&amp;quot;.

==US-Iran Negotiations: Why an Agreement Looks Unlikely==&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/04/us-iran-negotiations-why-an-agreement-looks-unlikely.html]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Personally, I'm still optimistic for a positive outcome to avoid war with Iran and this piece paints Trump as too much of a [[warmonger]]. But it is an important read for balance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One note: Trump misrepresented the talks as &amp;quot;direct&amp;quot;. They are not direct. The two delegations meet in separate rooms. If by chance they decide to meet face-to-face during the negotiations, that would be a positive outcome. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 09:03, April 12, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Where does this term &amp;quot;interventionalism&amp;quot; come from that has been [[spammed]] into more than a dozen pages on [[Conservapedia]]?==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
While though seemingly minor, it's only one example of [[User:Conservative]]'s refusal to engage in constructive discussion about his editing, as well as the problem of fixing Mainspaces with his [[spam]] &amp;amp; [[blather]]. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 12:31, April 12, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What happened==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Trump]] &amp;quot;hammered [[China]] with [[tariff]]s&amp;quot;, to use [[User:Conservative]]'s phrase that he [[spammed]] into dozens of Mainspace and talk pages over many months. Hammering China with tariffs lasted about 48 hours. Trump ratcheted it up to 145%. China reciprocated with 125% on all US goods. Then Trump exempted electronics. China has not rescinded its 125% tariffs on all [[US]] made goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Trump says, &amp;quot;we'll negotiate&amp;quot;. Well, Xi has no intention to call Trump. Trump is now isolated. Only [[Putin]] is willing to talk to Trump. Putin can relay messages back and forth with Xi. In fact, it was Putin's idea and Putin set up the Iran-US talks, which maybe we can avert [[war]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[coalition]] is beginning to fray. With nitwits like [[User:Conservative]] as spokesmen for the [[conservative movement]], can't blame [[voter]]s for bailing.

&lt;br /&gt;
So what happens next? Suppose you are someone whose [[job]] depends on selling to [[China]]. The boss comes to you with a pink slip and says, &amp;quot;Son, I'm sorry. We're going to have to lay you off. We're just not selling anything anymore (it's that idiot Trump's fault)&amp;quot;. These people are your friends, relatives, and neighbors. What do you tell them?

&lt;br /&gt;
:Trump's first round of tariffs on April 2 was about nostalgia for the manufacturing economy. That's a lost cause. Then Trump pivoted and made it all about China. But what does he want from China? If it's about opening the Chinese market, that won't be easy. Trump tried doing that in his first term without success. You can't appeal to Chinese public opinion. That doesn't exist.

I see that I may have disparaged your writing style.  No offense was intended.  You made a great improvement to an earlier version.

And I have a peeve about &amp;quot;when&amp;quot;.  Other than that, you write well.&lt;br /&gt;

==China history, et al==&lt;br /&gt;
Instead of trimming articles, split them.  The History of China article could be split into, say, four or five articles that cover a specific timeline, i.e. [[History of China: Ming dynasty: 1368-1644]], [[History of China: Reforms 1901-1908]], etc.  Think it's possible?  [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 06:28, 21 February 2014 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:What I trimmed was material about internal Communist party wrangling, the coverage of which was all out of proportion to every other issue. I don't think anything terribly interesting was lost. It was all about who was up and who was down and what titles they held. We already have a structure in which each of the traditional historic eras gets its own article: [[Qin dynasty]], [[Ming dynasty]], [[Qing dynasty]] and so forth. [[Template:History of China]] holds the story together. My vision is that each era receive a full treatment in the appropriate era article. Each one would also have a section and a summary in [[History of China]]. We're still a long way from that, but I'm getting there slowly. Unlike &amp;quot;History of China,&amp;quot; the era articles are all too short. What's missing is an era article for the People's Republic. We could a create a separate article for [[People's Republic of China]], since I already wrote a [[Republic of China]] article to cover the 1912 to 1949 era. Another possibility is [[History of the People's Republic of China]]. Either way, the modern history could be offloaded there.  [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] 08:12, 21 February 2014 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

== Atheism article intro ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wanted something very authoritative noted in the beginning of the [[atheism]] article so I kept the Encyclopedias of Philosophy and other reference works being mentioned.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Second, the Greek derivation of the word atheism [http://www.thedivineconspiracy.org/athart3.htm is somewhat complex] and I didn't want the beginning of the article to get bogged down so I left that part available via the footnote (the third footnote). [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 17:34, 17 July 2014 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
:I think we should act like we are the authority, even if we some ways away from actually being that. I got the derivation from [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/atheism? Random House].

== re: Diacritics  ==&lt;br /&gt;

::I think the diacritics section should go [http://www.conservapedia.com/Conservapedia:Editing_article_and_talk_pages#Talk_pages_and_Archiving after &amp;quot;Talk pages and Archiving &amp;quot;: here] after it is drawn up (unless it is lengthy and then it should go after &amp;quot;Debate topics&amp;quot;).

==Page moves==&lt;br /&gt;
As I understand it, editors license their work on CP on the condition of attribution, because each editor retains certain rights in their work as a part of the overall collective work.  For this reason, the wiki software maintains a history of each article so that everyone can see who contributed what.  When you move a page, the history for that page comes along with the move, so it is important to move the page and not just copy and paste the text of the page into a new page with a different title.  So, it may be important to redo or fix what you have done with the Hunchback of Notre Dame in Paris.  Many thanks for your understanding.

:::The edit summary says it was &amp;quot;moved from [[Ebola hemorrhagic fever]].&amp;quot; I don't see the problem. Even if you forget to do the edit summary correctly, you can put in a &amp;quot;dummy edit&amp;quot; later on to explain where material came. The important thing is that the history of the article can be reconstructed. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] 19:42, 4 January 2015 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
::::Maybe if you had said &amp;quot;read edit history found at...&amp;quot; but you are creating an edit history on [[Ebola]] which says that PeterKa wrote the whole thing.

The way that I would solve this is to give most editors &amp;quot;Page Move&amp;quot; rights.  Then there would be a tab at the top of each page which would allow you to use the wiki software to avoid this problem.  Many thanks! [[User:Wschact|Wschact]] 20:24, 4 January 2015 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

And there is no sign of a nearing web traffic plateau. My guess is that Trump supporters/Trump era and the resulting political waves significantly explains the boost in traffic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump supporters seem very loyal so the traffic boost could be long lasting. It also seems like there is a reawakening of right-wing politics/nationalism that will be long lasting.  And right-wing populism and &amp;quot;[[best of the public]]&amp;quot; go together like peanut butter and jelly. :)  [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 17:30, 13 February 2017 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

== IRC ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hello,&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After some discussion (on [[User_talk:DavidB4#Conservapedia_IRC_channel|my talk page]] and [[User_talk:Aschlafly#IRC|Andy's]]) it has been decided that I start an [[Internet Relay Chat]] channel for Conservapedia, since our old one has been dead since 2009.  It is now registered and somewhat set up.  I don't know if you use IRC or are interested in doing so, but anyone with block privileges on Conservapedia can also get block privileges on the new IRC channel.  Unfortunately, IRC accounts are deleted after 30 days of being unused, so unless you plan on using the IRC at least once a month, there is probably not much point in registering.  In any case, feel free to try it out--if you account gets deleted, we can always make another one later.  If you are interested, please let me know!&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The IRC channel is: #conservapedia @irc.accessIRC.net&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else, also! --[[User:DavidB4|&amp;lt;font color=&amp;quot;ForestGreen&amp;quot;&amp;gt;David B&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;]] &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 15:43, 11 April 2017 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;

=== Russian soldier and looter returning to Russia from Ukraine: &amp;quot;Honey, we now have a great luxury. We now have a toilet!&amp;quot; ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On October 20, 2023, ''The Financial Times'', reported:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|The letter of Mergen Mongush from Moscow (“Not the Kremlin line, but an ordinary Russian’s view”, October 7) is very misleading. Most desirable high-end retail products in Russian shops are well beyond the purchasing power of the vast majority of Russians outside of Moscow and St Petersburg, as totalitarian Russia has the highest wealth disparity of any large country. The wealth of Tatarstan, Tyumen and many other areas is funnelled to a small elite of Russians in cities that are not producing this wealth, while these regions remain impoverished.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When, for example, Russian troops invaded at Irpin and Bucha, close to Kyiv, they were shocked to see, in ordinary Ukrainian homes, huge televisions, high-quality washing machines and dryers, computers, internal toilets and other goods that are luxuries for them. So they killed Ukrainian inhabitants, not just to carry out Vladimir Putin’s orders, but to steal their possessions and take them back to Russia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are many photographs of Russian military vehicles carrying Ukrainian toilets, washing machines, etc back to Russia — and lots of jokes were made about this, but the failure of Russia to care for most of its own population and instead create huge wealth disparities is a serious matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Russia may have greater wealth as a country, but most Ukrainians live better than the average Russian.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://archive.md/ILpVs Letter: Russia’s looting soldiers tell real story of its economy], ''Financial Times'', October 20, 2023&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

== You talk page comment about Trump/Ukraine ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You wrote on main page talk about the war in Ukraine and long range missile approval: &amp;quot;They've talking about doing this for months. Its remarkable that the decision comes right after the election. Avoiding military victory has been the strategy of the Democratic party since Truman fired McArthur in the Korean War. Has Biden has finally decided to ditch this tradition? My prediction: The war will end when the Russians retreat from Crimea.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[Godwin's law]] strikes again. By the way, it is the godless, communist, Chinese mercantilists who repeatedly threaten Taiwan that benefit the most from globalism and its global trade.  Donald Trump's tariffs will help put a big dent in that - especially when other countries mimic US tariffs due to more products being attempted to be channeled to their countries post US tariffs on China! The Global South has begun the process of putting increasing tariffs on China. &amp;quot;The most beautiful word in the dictionary&amp;quot; is the word tariff. - Donald J.

==US-Iran Negotiations: Why an Agreement Looks Unlikely==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Personally, I'm still optimistic for a positive outcome to avoid war with Iran and this piece paints Trump as too much of a [[warmonger]]. But it is an important read for balance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One note: Trump misrepresented the talks as &amp;quot;direct&amp;quot;. They are not direct. The two delegations meet in separate rooms. If by chance they decide to meet face-to-face during the negotiations, that would be a positive outcome. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 09:03, April 12, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another not very optimistic assessment: [https://youtu.be/eVg-9EKLuqY On the Path to War with Iran] - [[Alastair Crooke]], [[Alexander Mercouris]] &amp;amp; [[Glenn Diesen]].&lt;br /&gt;

==Where does this term &amp;quot;interventionalism&amp;quot; come from that has been [[spammed]] into more than a dozen pages on [[Conservapedia]]?==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
While though seemingly minor, it's only one example of [[User:Conservative]]'s refusal to engage in constructive discussion about his editing, as well as the problem of fixing Mainspaces with his [[spam]] &amp;amp; [[blather]]. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 12:31, April 12, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What happened==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Trump]] &amp;quot;hammered [[China]] with [[tariff]]s&amp;quot;, to use [[User:Conservative]]'s phrase that he [[spammed]] into dozens of Mainspace and talk pages over many months. Hammering China with tariffs lasted about 48 hours. Trump ratcheted it up to 145%. China reciprocated with 125% on all US goods. Then Trump exempted electronics. China has not rescinded its 125% tariffs on all [[US]] made goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Trump says, &amp;quot;we'll negotiate&amp;quot;. Well, Xi has no intention to call Trump. Trump is now isolated. Only [[Putin]] is willing to talk to Trump. Putin can relay messages back and forth with Xi. In fact, it was Putin's idea and Putin set up the Iran-US talks, which maybe we can avert [[war]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[coalition]] is beginning to fray. With nitwits like [[User:Conservative]] as spokesmen for the [[conservative movement]], can't blame [[voter]]s for bailing. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 16:37, April 13, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So what happens next? Suppose you are someone whose [[job]] depends on selling to [[China]]. The boss comes to you with a pink slip and says, &amp;quot;Son, I'm sorry. We're going to have to lay you off. We're just not selling anything anymore (it's that idiot Trump's fault)&amp;quot;. These people are your friends, relatives, and neighbors. What do you tell them?

&lt;br /&gt;
:Trump's first round of tariffs on April 2 was about nostalgia for the manufacturing economy. That's a lost cause. Then Trump pivoted and made it all about China. But what does he want from China? If it's about opening the Chinese market, that won't be easy. Trump tried doing that in his first term without success. You can't appeal to Chinese public opinion. That doesn't exist. The Chinese people &amp;quot;follow the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party,&amp;quot; as the Constitution puts it.

:'''Question''': Will Chinese companies move manufacturing plants to Vietnam, Indonesia, etc for lower labor costs and better trade relations with the US, instead of Trump's wish for them to move here?

==US-Iran Negotiations: Why an Agreement Looks Unlikely==&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2025/04/us-iran-negotiations-why-an-agreement-looks-unlikely.html]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Personally, I'm still optimistic for a positive outcome to avoid war with Iran and this piece paints Trump as too much of a [[warmonger]]. But it is an important read for balance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One note: Trump misrepresented the talks as &amp;quot;direct&amp;quot;. They are not direct. The two delegations meet in separate rooms. If by chance they decide to meet face-to-face during the negotiations, that would be a positive outcome. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 09:03, April 12, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another not very optimistic assessment: [https://youtu.be/eVg-9EKLuqY On the Path to War with Iran] - [[Alastair Crooke]], [[Alexander Mercouris]] &amp;amp; [[Glenn Diesen]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Where does this term &amp;quot;interventionalism&amp;quot; come from that has been [[spammed]] into more than a dozen pages on [[Conservapedia]]?==&lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&amp;amp;profile=advanced&amp;amp;search=interventionalist&amp;amp;fulltext=Search&amp;amp;ns0=1&amp;amp;ns1=1&amp;amp;ns2=1&amp;amp;ns3=1&amp;amp;ns4=1&amp;amp;ns5=1&amp;amp;ns6=1&amp;amp;ns7=1&amp;amp;ns8=1&amp;amp;ns9=1&amp;amp;ns10=1&amp;amp;ns11=1&amp;amp;ns12=1&amp;amp;ns13=1&amp;amp;ns14=1&amp;amp;ns15=1&amp;amp;ns120=1&amp;amp;ns121=1&amp;amp;ns122=1&amp;amp;ns123=1&amp;amp;ns124=1&amp;amp;ns125=1&amp;amp;ns126=1&amp;amp;ns127=1&amp;amp;profile=advanced The proper spelling is &amp;quot;interventionism&amp;quot;] (no &amp;quot;'''al'''&amp;quot; in the middle).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While though seemingly minor, it's only one example of [[User:Conservative]]'s refusal to engage in constructive discussion about his editing, as well as the problem of fixing Mainspaces with his [[spam]] &amp;amp; [[blather]]. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 12:31, April 12, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==What happened==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Trump]] &amp;quot;hammered [[China]] with [[tariff]]s&amp;quot;, to use [[User:Conservative]]'s phrase that he [[spammed]] into dozens of Mainspace and talk pages over many months. Hammering China with tariffs lasted about 48 hours. Trump ratcheted it up to 145%. China reciprocated with 125% on all US goods. Then Trump exempted electronics. China has not rescinded its 125% tariffs on all [[US]] made goods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Trump says, &amp;quot;we'll negotiate&amp;quot;. Well, Xi has no intention to call Trump. Trump is now isolated. Only [[Putin]] is willing to talk to Trump. Putin can relay messages back and forth with Xi. In fact, it was Putin's idea and Putin set up the Iran-US talks, which maybe we can avert [[war]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[coalition]] is beginning to fray. With nitwits like [[User:Conservative]] as spokesmen for the [[conservative movement]], can't blame [[voter]]s for bailing. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 16:37, April 13, 2025 (EDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So what happens next? Suppose you are someone whose [[job]] depends on selling to [[China]]. The boss comes to you with a pink slip and says, &amp;quot;Son, I'm sorry. We're going to have to lay you off. We're just not selling anything anymore (it's that idiot Trump's fault)&amp;quot;. These people are your friends, relatives, and neighbors. What do you tell them?

&lt;br /&gt;
:Trump's first round of tariffs on April 2 was about nostalgia for the manufacturing economy. That's a lost cause. Then Trump pivoted and made it all about China. But what does he want from China? If it's about opening the Chinese market, that won't be easy. Trump tried doing that in his first term without success. You can't appeal to Chinese public opinion. That doesn't exist. The Chinese people &amp;quot;follow the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party,&amp;quot; as the Constitution puts it.

The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.&lt;br /&gt;
Then on Saturday''' Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand'''. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.&lt;br /&gt;
Every claim made against Israel was projection. Hamas had been doing all the things it accused Israel of, accusations that the media gleefully echoed like pet-shop parrots.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''The three men had lost half their body weight. They were starved. Hung up by their legs. Chained. One only walked for the first time on the day he was released. He had to learn how to use his feet again. They were strangled, beaten, burned. The hostages were supposed to be the terrorist’s grand plan, their prize assets. Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation. In a way they could not ignore. Though some still are determined to look away and continue the narrative of victimhood. It is becoming more difficult with every abused innocent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps.''' We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.&lt;br /&gt;

(Feb. 20, 2025 / JNS)&lt;br /&gt;
An Israeli government spokesman slammed Hamas as a “death cult” after it paraded the coffins containing the remains of four civilian hostages, including those of a baby and a child, during a propaganda stage show in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip, on Thursday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hamas is not a resistance movement. Hamas is a death cult that murders, that tortures and parades dead bodies,” government spokesman David Mencer told journalists during a press briefing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization “has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the bodies has been identified as belonging to hostage Oded Lifshitz, his family confirmed on Thursday afternoon after identification at the National Center of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other remains handed over by the Palestinian terror organization were said to be those of Shiri Bibas (32 when captured on Oct. 7, 2023) and her sons, Ariel (4 when taken) and Kfir (9 months old when taken).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four bodies were transferred to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross after the propaganda ceremony attended by members of Hamas’s “military wing,” Gaza civilians and terrorists released under the auspices of previous prisoner swaps.&lt;br /&gt;

==Germany - understanding the difference between the American and parliamentary systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's take this opportunity to understand the difference between the American and parliamentary systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the [[Electoral College]], the [[constitutional]] requirement of a 51% majority to elect a [[head of government]], that has turned the [[United States]] into a &amp;quot;two party system&amp;quot;. Parliamentary systems often have 3 or 5, or even more &amp;quot;major parties&amp;quot;, with rarely any of them having 51% majority. Hence they often have to forge &amp;quot;[[coalition]]&amp;quot; governments, with the leader of the party with a [[plurality]] becoming [[prime minister]] and offering important cabinet posts to their junior coalition partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example in [[Germany]], the alleged &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; [[Christian Democratic Union]] ruled for 16 years under [[Merkel]] until it was voted out a few years ago in favor of the Socialist, Green, and Free Democrat coalition. It was just voted back in with 29%, but refuses to form a coalition with the &amp;quot;far right&amp;quot; [[AfD]]. So it goes from being &amp;quot;opposition&amp;quot; to the [[Social Democrat]]s to being a coalition partner now along with the &amp;quot;far left&amp;quot; [[Green Party]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IOWs, despite gains by the [[conservative]] AfD - which individually is larger than the Socialists or Greens, the [[leftwing]] Socialists &amp;amp; Greens remain in the governing coalition along with the so-called &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; Christian Democrats. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:51, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, despite 50%+ of Germans voting &amp;quot;right wing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot;, the conservatives did not &amp;quot;win&amp;quot;, and the extreme [[leftist]] [[Socialist]]s &amp;amp; [[Greens]] remain in power. The same thing happened in [[Sweden]] a few years ago, and will continue to happen throughout Europe to all &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; &amp;quot;rightwing&amp;quot; parties. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 18:20, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If any of that were true, there would be no AfD. It was the Christian Democratic Union that opened the floodgates on immigration, was voted out for it, and the Socialists and Greens just lost their status as leaders of the coalition for not stopping it.

After all, aluminum is, first of all, energy, and preferably cheap energy. Hydroelectric power is cheap, and among other things, it is also environmentally friendly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is why, I repeat, there are such plans since the Soviet era, but these are [[capital]]-intensive, investment-intensive projects: according to preliminary estimates, it cost or will cost about '''$15 billion''' at today's prices. We can think about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the policy of the '''current President today''' is to place production on the territory of the United States. But if American companies work for us, this is also a benefit, and a considerable one, because both companies will earn decent money, and the corresponding volumes of aluminum will be supplied to the domestic market at absolutely acceptable market prices. There is much to think about here, as well as joint work on rare and '''rare-earth metals''', and in other areas, including, for example, energy.

:You see this in their prisoner interrogation interviews.

===&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot; is a word we've heard now several times in public forums from [[Vladimir Putin]] in reference to the [[United States]] and the [[Trump administration]] in the past week. This gives credence to the theories propounded by [[Stephen Bryen]]:&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/russia-us-peace-deal-on-ukraine-at Russia-US Peace Deal on Ukraine at an Advanced Stage] Zelensky will be asked to Cooperate&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/the-shoot-out-at-the-white-house The Shoot Out at the White House and some guesses about what happens next].&lt;br /&gt;
We have not heard the word &amp;quot;partners&amp;quot; in reference to the US or Europe from Putin or [[Lavrov]] since Feb 2022, replaced with terms like &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Partner&amp;quot; has been reserved for [[Belarus]] and others. We've yet to hear &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; being used  for [[European]] powers, [[Germany]], [[France]], [[UK]]. etc. of late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term generally means &amp;quot;negotiating partner&amp;quot;, where the parties have agreed on certain ground rules and objectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bryen alleges that there is a behind-the-scenes back channel that is far ahead of what is publicly known and reported. The fact that [[Keith Kellogg]], [[Waltz]] and [[Rubio]] appear cut out, and [[Middle East]] envoy [[Witkoff]] has appeared in the [[Kremlin]] is more evidence of Bryen's theory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ukraine]] and the [[Zelensky regime]] have been cut off by the Trump administration. The only question I can determine unresolved is, does this mean the port city of [[Odessa]] is also included in Russia's territorial demands, and a Ukrainian rump state will be landlocked? (There is an internal debate in Russia about not being overextended beyond what they can control and defend, such as what happened in 1989 with [[East Germany]] &amp;amp; the [[Warsaw Pact]], etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump's extension of [[Executive Order]] 13660 for another year means that the war will continue for another year, only without [[US]] assistance, and it remains to be seen what the &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot; European powers can bring to the table to continue more suffering and death. Alternatively, the US encouraging Europe to beef up its defense spending and take responsibility for itself is in line with Trump (and even Putin's) desire for a dissolution, or withdrawal, of the United States from [[NATO]].

===Meetings between heads of state===&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings between [[heads of state]] are carefully crafted and carefully scripted. One off-script word by either party can throw the meeting into chaos (as just witnessed). At the [[Riyadh]] meeting last week, the US side was reported to have asked for a summit with Putin, and the Russian response was reported to be more time is needed for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1972 the Moscow Summit between [[Nixon]] &amp;amp; [[Brezhnev]] that ushered in the age of ''[[detente]]'' was nearly derailed at the last minute because of an off-the-cuff comment made by Brezhnev. As Nixon arrived in Moscow, a light mist was falling. As Nixon stepped off the plane Brezhnev greeted him with, &amp;quot;This is a mushroom rain&amp;quot;. When the off-script comment was translated, it was interpreted as a threat. What did Brezhnev mean by that? a mushroom cloud? [[nuclear war]]? [[nuclear winter]]? etc. The translators had to sort things out and play diplomat for a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Russia, like [[baseball]] in the [[United States]], mushroom hunting in the woods in the national pastime. It's a big weekend family event for city dwellers, complete with instruction guides, where and when to hunt for what type of mushrooms, etc. The translators had only minutes to explain this cultural phenomenon and idiom to American State Department and White House officials, and that nothing was implied by the off-hand remark, and hope it would be received well in [[good faith]] by the American side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But of course, when you have an undisciplined [[cocaine]] addict and [[popular culture]] figure like [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] representing your interests, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

🚨 &amp;quot;No Other Land&amp;quot; Exposed by Pro-Palestinian Activist 🚨&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is the text of a Facebook post published by Erez Ganor—an Israeli who claims to have worked for years to help Palestinians—about the Oscar-winning documentary &amp;quot;No Other Land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erez deleted this post after experiencing significant backlash from other pro-Palestinian activists. It's very long, so here are the most notable parts, in my opinion:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I just want to say that the film in question is a staged production made at the expense of the very residents whose outcry it claims to represent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is an opportunistic family [referring to co-writer &amp;amp; co-director Basel Adra] that has made a name for itself at the expense of the residents of the village of Al-Tuwani.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Upon thorough investigation, it turned out they were receiving donations and selling them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat).&lt;br /&gt;
Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census.&lt;br /&gt;
It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox.&lt;br /&gt;
The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as &amp;quot;The Moscovia,&amp;quot; which still exists today.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community.&lt;br /&gt;
A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police.&lt;br /&gt;
This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Between 1894 and 1924, they write, between 1.5 million and 2.5 million Ottoman Christians perished; greater accuracy is impossible. Whatever the shifts in regime, all these killings were instigated by Muslim Turks who drew in other Muslims and invoked Islamic solidarity.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Tariffs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have to say that when I voted for Trump, I had no idea that I was voting for across-the-board tariffs. What happened to the Keystone pipeline? This was a pipeline to bring in oil from Canada that Trump approved in his first term. Trump negotiated the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) free trade agreement in July 2020. Since returning to office, he has torn up that agreement without explanation. Biden raised tariffs more than Trump did in his first term. Yeah, Trump talked a lot about tariffs. They have always been an issue close to his heart. But I assumed he meant tariffs against China. Stocks are down by four percent since the start of the tariff whirlwind. The Trump's tariff &amp;quot;pause&amp;quot; has yet to lead to any recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not about money, but our national soul, as Trump put it in the State of the Union. If it's about our soul, how are we supposed to think about the trade agreements that Trump negotiated in his first term? [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 03:49, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Nearly 108,000 persons in the U.S. died from drug-involved overdose in 2022 and fentanyl is a big and growing problem in Canada that could be mitigated. But the liberal Trudeau and some of the liberal Canadian politicians have bad public policy. Maybe Trump is using the tariff thumbscrew to get concessions related to Canadian fentanyl. But maybe he just wants to bring factories back to the USA. Maybe he just doesn't like Trudeau and he enjoys tormenting him. Maybe it is all these reasons or a combination of some of them. With that being said, dissing Canada and calling it the 51st state hurts U.S. product/service sales to Canada. One last thing related to Canada is that they spend very little on defense and free ride off the USA so Trump may resent that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The USA does have a trade deficit and the USA has tolerated unfair trade practices in the past due to wanting to get alliances back in the Cold War days. But the Soviet Union is long gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Maybe reciprocal tariffs involves some short-term pain to get long-term benefits. The Chinese have a very low birthrate so the USA has to make a transition over time as far as not counting on the Chinese to manufacture things. Next, there is a danger of Trump using a tariff sledgehammer against China and there not being enough manufacturing capacity to replace them should their economy be badly damaged. China already has big economic problems so taking more pieces out of their Jenga economy could have some unintended consequences that are deleterious to the USA.

:::Dianne3000, I just did the math. There is a trade deficit of $984 billion per annum for the USA. There are about 325 million Americans. So that is about $2,000 a year per American as far as the trade deficit. The USA has 4 times the labor productivity of China overall. A study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found that manufacturing workers earn 13% more in hourly compensation than comparable workers in the rest of the private sector.[https://www.google.com/search?q=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;oq=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEJMjE5OTlqMGoxqAIAsAIA&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8] And then there is the labor rates of the various countries and the different specializations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::It's a complex issue. But at the end of the day, the USA should improve its educational system so people are better prepared. Also, there is a big housing shortage and there appears to be a shortage of tradesmen, but how much of the housing shortage will be fixed via deportations and the baby boomers dying off, I don't know.

::::::::::An explanation of purchasing power parity from Investopedia: &amp;quot;Purchasing power parity (PPP) is a popular macroeconomic analysis metric used to compare economic productivity and standards of living between countries. PPP involves an economic theory that compares different countries' currencies through a &amp;quot;basket of goods&amp;quot; approach. That is, PPP is the exchange rate at which one nation's currency would be converted into another to purchase the same and same amounts of a large group of products. According to this concept, two currencies are in equilibrium—their currencies are at par—when a basket of goods is priced the same in both countries, taking into account the exchange rates.&amp;quot;[https://www.investopedia.com/updates/purchasing-power-parity-ppp/] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 19:37, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

To give some idea of the intensity of the fighting: [[NATO]]/[[Ukraine]] has lost 58,000 in the [[NATO invasion of Kursk|Kursk invasion]] since November 4, 2024 (3 months) - more dead than the [[United States]] lost in 10 years of the [[Vietnam war]].

[https://www.commentary.org/seth-mandel/the-chilling-implications-of-hamass-suspension-of-hostage-releases/ Writer]: &lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|Throughout the period of the current cease-fire, Hamas has been systematically dismantling its own side’s propaganda. The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.&lt;br /&gt;
Then on Saturday''' Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand'''. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.&lt;br /&gt;
Every claim made against Israel was projection. Hamas had been doing all the things it accused Israel of, accusations that the media gleefully echoed like pet-shop parrots.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''The three men had lost half their body weight. They were starved. Hung up by their legs. Chained. One only walked for the first time on the day he was released. He had to learn how to use his feet again. They were strangled, beaten, burned. The hostages were supposed to be the terrorist’s grand plan, their prize assets. Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation. In a way they could not ignore. Though some still are determined to look away and continue the narrative of victimhood. It is becoming more difficult with every abused innocent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps.''' We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.&lt;br /&gt;

Israel: Hamas a ‘death cult that murders, tortures, parades dead bodies’.&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization &amp;quot;has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,&amp;quot; government spokesman David Mencer said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Feb. 20, 2025 / JNS)&lt;br /&gt;
An Israeli government spokesman slammed Hamas as a “death cult” after it paraded the coffins containing the remains of four civilian hostages, including those of a baby and a child, during a propaganda stage show in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip, on Thursday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hamas is not a resistance movement. Hamas is a death cult that murders, that tortures and parades dead bodies,” government spokesman David Mencer told journalists during a press briefing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization “has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the bodies has been identified as belonging to hostage Oded Lifshitz, his family confirmed on Thursday afternoon after identification at the National Center of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other remains handed over by the Palestinian terror organization were said to be those of Shiri Bibas (32 when captured on Oct. 7, 2023) and her sons, Ariel (4 when taken) and Kfir (9 months old when taken).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four bodies were transferred to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross after the propaganda ceremony attended by members of Hamas’s “military wing,” Gaza civilians and terrorists released under the auspices of previous prisoner swaps.&lt;br /&gt;

==Germany - understanding the difference between the American and parliamentary systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's take this opportunity to understand the difference between the American and parliamentary systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the [[Electoral College]], the [[constitutional]] requirement of a 51% majority to elect a [[head of government]], that has turned the [[United States]] into a &amp;quot;two party system&amp;quot;. Parliamentary systems often have 3 or 5, or even more &amp;quot;major parties&amp;quot;, with rarely any of them having 51% majority. Hence they often have to forge &amp;quot;[[coalition]]&amp;quot; governments, with the leader of the party with a [[plurality]] becoming [[prime minister]] and offering important cabinet posts to their junior coalition partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example in [[Germany]], the alleged &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; [[Christian Democratic Union]] ruled for 16 years under [[Merkel]] until it was voted out a few years ago in favor of the Socialist, Green, and Free Democrat coalition. It was just voted back in with 29%, but refuses to form a coalition with the &amp;quot;far right&amp;quot; [[AfD]]. So it goes from being &amp;quot;opposition&amp;quot; to the [[Social Democrat]]s to being a coalition partner now along with the &amp;quot;far left&amp;quot; [[Green Party]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IOWs, despite gains by the [[conservative]] AfD - which individually is larger than the Socialists or Greens, the [[leftwing]] Socialists &amp;amp; Greens remain in the governing coalition along with the so-called &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; Christian Democrats. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:51, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, despite 50%+ of Germans voting &amp;quot;right wing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot;, the conservatives did not &amp;quot;win&amp;quot;, and the extreme [[leftist]] [[Socialist]]s &amp;amp; [[Greens]] remain in power. The same thing happened in [[Sweden]] a few years ago, and will continue to happen throughout Europe to all &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; &amp;quot;rightwing&amp;quot; parties. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 18:20, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|Looks like the conservative party in Germany has won the very big and highly anticipated election. Much like the USA, the people of Germany got tired of the no common sense agenda, especially on energy and immigration, that has prevailed for so many years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;The man poised to be the next chancellor of Germany is Friedrich Merz, of the conservative Christian Democratic Union.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If any of that were true, there would be no AfD. It was the Christian Democratic Union that opened the floodgates on immigration, was voted out for it, and the Socialists and Greens just lost their status as leaders of the coalition for not stopping it. [https://youtu.be/ylxaKuhO_14?t=318 Merz has already vowed not] to allow the conservative populist, reformist, and &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; AfD - most of which came from the CDU - into the government.&lt;br /&gt;

We certainly have '''an order of magnitude''' – I want to emphasize this – an order of magnitude '''more resources of this kind than in Ukraine. Russia is one of the undisputed leaders in terms of reserves of these rare and rare-earth metals.'''...What is most important, in my opinion, is that '''we could think together with [[American]] companies about working together in this area.''' For example, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, back in Soviet times, there were plans to build a new hydroelectric power station and create additional [[aluminum]] production facilities. After all, aluminum is, first of all, energy, and preferably cheap energy. Hydroelectric power is cheap, and among other things, it is also environmentally friendly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is why, I repeat, there are such plans since the Soviet era, but these are [[capital]]-intensive, investment-intensive projects: according to preliminary estimates, it cost or will cost about '''$15 billion''' at today's prices. We can think about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the policy of the '''current President today''' is to place production on the territory of the United States. But if American companies work for us, this is also a benefit, and a considerable one, because both companies will earn decent money, and the corresponding volumes of aluminum will be supplied to the domestic market at absolutely acceptable market prices. There is much to think about here, as well as joint work on rare and '''rare-earth metals''', and in other areas, including, for example, energy.

===&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot; is a word we've heard now several times in public forums from [[Vladimir Putin]] in reference to the [[United States]] and the [[Trump administration]] in the past week. This gives credence to the theories propounded by [[Stephen Bryen]]:&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/russia-us-peace-deal-on-ukraine-at Russia-US Peace Deal on Ukraine at an Advanced Stage] Zelensky will be asked to Cooperate&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/the-shoot-out-at-the-white-house The Shoot Out at the White House and some guesses about what happens next].&lt;br /&gt;
We have not heard the word &amp;quot;partners&amp;quot; in reference to the US or Europe from Putin or [[Lavrov]] since Feb 2022, replaced with terms like &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Partner&amp;quot; has been reserved for [[Belarus]] and others. We've yet to hear &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; being used  for [[European]] powers, [[Germany]], [[France]], [[UK]]. etc. of late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term generally means &amp;quot;negotiating partner&amp;quot;, where the parties have agreed on certain ground rules and objectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bryen alleges that there is a behind-the-scenes back channel that is far ahead of what is publicly known and reported. The fact that [[Keith Kellogg]], [[Waltz]] and [[Rubio]] appear cut out, and [[Middle East]] envoy [[Witkoff]] has appeared in the [[Kremlin]] is more evidence of Bryen's theory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ukraine]] and the [[Zelensky regime]] have been cut off by the Trump administration. The only question I can determine unresolved is, does this mean the port city of [[Odessa]] is also included in Russia's territorial demands, and a Ukrainian rump state will be landlocked? (There is an internal debate in Russia about not being overextended beyond what they can control and defend, such as what happened in 1989 with [[East Germany]] &amp;amp; the [[Warsaw Pact]], etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump's extension of [[Executive Order]] 13660 for another year means that the war will continue for another year, only without [[US]] assistance, and it remains to be seen what the &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot; European powers can bring to the table to continue more suffering and death. Alternatively, the US encouraging Europe to beef up its defense spending and take responsibility for itself is in line with Trump (and even Putin's) desire for a dissolution, or withdrawal, of the United States from [[NATO]].

===Meetings between heads of state===&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings between [[heads of state]] are carefully crafted and carefully scripted. One off-script word by either party can throw the meeting into chaos (as just witnessed). At the [[Riyadh]] meeting last week, the US side was reported to have asked for a summit with Putin, and the Russian response was reported to be more time is needed for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1972 the Moscow Summit between [[Nixon]] &amp;amp; [[Brezhnev]] that ushered in the age of ''[[detente]]'' was nearly derailed at the last minute because of an off-the-cuff comment made by Brezhnev. As Nixon arrived in Moscow, a light mist was falling. As Nixon stepped off the plane Brezhnev greeted him with, &amp;quot;This is a mushroom rain&amp;quot;. When the off-script comment was translated, it was interpreted as a threat. What did Brezhnev mean by that? a mushroom cloud? [[nuclear war]]? [[nuclear winter]]? etc. The translators had to sort things out and play diplomat for a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Russia, like [[baseball]] in the [[United States]], mushroom hunting in the woods in the national pastime. It's a big weekend family event for city dwellers, complete with instruction guides, where and when to hunt for what type of mushrooms, etc. The translators had only minutes to explain this cultural phenomenon and idiom to American State Department and White House officials, and that nothing was implied by the off-hand remark, and hope it would be received well in [[good faith]] by the American side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But of course, when you have an undisciplined [[cocaine]] addict and [[popular culture]] figure like [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] representing your interests, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

🚨 &amp;quot;No Other Land&amp;quot; Exposed by Pro-Palestinian Activist 🚨&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is the text of a Facebook post published by Erez Ganor—an Israeli who claims to have worked for years to help Palestinians—about the Oscar-winning documentary &amp;quot;No Other Land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erez deleted this post after experiencing significant backlash from other pro-Palestinian activists. It's very long, so here are the most notable parts, in my opinion:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I just want to say that the film in question is a staged production made at the expense of the very residents whose outcry it claims to represent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is an opportunistic family [referring to co-writer &amp;amp; co-director Basel Adra] that has made a name for itself at the expense of the residents of the village of Al-Tuwani.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Upon thorough investigation, it turned out they were receiving donations and selling them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat).&lt;br /&gt;
Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census.&lt;br /&gt;
It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox.&lt;br /&gt;
The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as &amp;quot;The Moscovia,&amp;quot; which still exists today.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community.&lt;br /&gt;
A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police.&lt;br /&gt;
This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

== Tariffs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have to say that when I voted for Trump, I had no idea that I was voting for across-the-board tariffs. What happened to the Keystone pipeline? This was a pipeline to bring in oil from Canada that Trump approved in his first term. Trump negotiated the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) free trade agreement in July 2020. Since returning to office, he has torn up that agreement without explanation. Biden raised tariffs more than Trump did in his first term. Yeah, Trump talked a lot about tariffs. They have always been an issue close to his heart. But I assumed he meant tariffs against China. Stocks are down by four percent since the start of the tariff whirlwind. The Trump's tariff &amp;quot;pause&amp;quot; has yet to lead to any recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not about money, but our national soul, as Trump put it in the State of the Union. If it's about our soul, how are we supposed to think about the trade agreements that Trump negotiated in his first term? [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 03:49, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Nearly 108,000 persons in the U.S. died from drug-involved overdose in 2022 and fentanyl is a big and growing problem in Canada that could be mitigated. But the liberal Trudeau and some of the liberal Canadian politicians have bad public policy. Maybe Trump is using the tariff thumbscrew to get concessions related to Canadian fentanyl. But maybe he just wants to bring factories back to the USA. Maybe he just doesn't like Trudeau and he enjoys tormenting him. Maybe it is all these reasons or a combination of some of them. With that being said, dissing Canada and calling it the 51st state hurts U.S. product/service sales to Canada. One last thing related to Canada is that they spend very little on defense and free ride off the USA so Trump may resent that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The USA does have a trade deficit and the USA has tolerated unfair trade practices in the past due to wanting to get alliances back in the Cold War days. But the Soviet Union is long gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Maybe reciprocal tariffs involves some short-term pain to get long-term benefits. The Chinese have a very low birthrate so the USA has to make a transition over time as far as not counting on the Chinese to manufacture things. Next, there is a danger of Trump using a tariff sledgehammer against China and there not being enough manufacturing capacity to replace them should their economy be badly damaged. China already has big economic problems so taking more pieces out of their Jenga economy could have some unintended consequences that are deleterious to the USA.

:::Dianne3000, I just did the math. There is a trade deficit of $984 billion per annum for the USA. There are about 325 million Americans. So that is about $2,000 a year per American as far as the trade deficit. The USA has 4 times the labor productivity of China overall. A study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found that manufacturing workers earn 13% more in hourly compensation than comparable workers in the rest of the private sector.[https://www.google.com/search?q=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;oq=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEJMjE5OTlqMGoxqAIAsAIA&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8] And then there is the labor rates of the various countries and the different specializations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::It's a complex issue. But at the end of the day, the USA should improve its educational system so people are better prepared. Also, there is a big housing shortage and there appears to be a shortage of tradesmen, but how much of the housing shortage will be fixed via deportations and the baby boomers dying off, I don't know.

::::::::::An explanation of purchasing power parity from Investopedia: &amp;quot;Purchasing power parity (PPP) is a popular macroeconomic analysis metric used to compare economic productivity and standards of living between countries. PPP involves an economic theory that compares different countries' currencies through a &amp;quot;basket of goods&amp;quot; approach. That is, PPP is the exchange rate at which one nation's currency would be converted into another to purchase the same and same amounts of a large group of products. According to this concept, two currencies are in equilibrium—their currencies are at par—when a basket of goods is priced the same in both countries, taking into account the exchange rates.&amp;quot;[https://www.investopedia.com/updates/purchasing-power-parity-ppp/] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 19:37, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|Throughout the period of the current cease-fire, Hamas has been systematically dismantling its own side’s propaganda. The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.&lt;br /&gt;
Then on Saturday''' Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand'''. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''The three men had lost half their body weight. They were starved. Hung up by their legs. Chained. One only walked for the first time on the day he was released. He had to learn how to use his feet again. They were strangled, beaten, burned. The hostages were supposed to be the terrorist’s grand plan, their prize assets. Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation. In a way they could not ignore. Though some still are determined to look away and continue the narrative of victimhood. It is becoming more difficult with every abused innocent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps.''' We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.&lt;br /&gt;

Israel: Hamas a ‘death cult that murders, tortures, parades dead bodies’.&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization &amp;quot;has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,&amp;quot; government spokesman David Mencer said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Feb. 20, 2025 / JNS)&lt;br /&gt;
An Israeli government spokesman slammed Hamas as a “death cult” after it paraded the coffins containing the remains of four civilian hostages, including those of a baby and a child, during a propaganda stage show in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip, on Thursday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hamas is not a resistance movement. Hamas is a death cult that murders, that tortures and parades dead bodies,” government spokesman David Mencer told journalists during a press briefing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization “has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the bodies has been identified as belonging to hostage Oded Lifshitz, his family confirmed on Thursday afternoon after identification at the National Center of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Germany - understanding the difference between the American and parliamentary systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's take this opportunity to understand the difference between the American and parliamentary systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the [[Electoral College]], the [[constitutional]] requirement of a 51% majority to elect a [[head of government]], that has turned the [[United States]] into a &amp;quot;two party system&amp;quot;. Parliamentary systems often have 3 or 5, or even more &amp;quot;major parties&amp;quot;, with rarely any of them having 51% majority. Hence they often have to forge &amp;quot;[[coalition]]&amp;quot; governments, with the leader of the party with a [[plurality]] becoming [[prime minister]] and offering important cabinet posts to their junior coalition partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example in [[Germany]], the alleged &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; [[Christian Democratic Union]] ruled for 16 years under [[Merkel]] until it was voted out a few years ago in favor of the Socialist, Green, and Free Democrat coalition. It was just voted back in with 29%, but refuses to form a coalition with the &amp;quot;far right&amp;quot; [[AfD]]. So it goes from being &amp;quot;opposition&amp;quot; to the [[Social Democrat]]s to being a coalition partner now along with the &amp;quot;far left&amp;quot; [[Green Party]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IOWs, despite gains by the [[conservative]] AfD - which individually is larger than the Socialists or Greens, the [[leftwing]] Socialists &amp;amp; Greens remain in the governing coalition along with the so-called &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; Christian Democrats. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:51, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, despite 50%+ of Germans voting &amp;quot;right wing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot;, the conservatives did not &amp;quot;win&amp;quot;, and the extreme [[leftist]] [[Socialist]]s &amp;amp; [[Greens]] remain in power. The same thing happened in [[Sweden]] a few years ago, and will continue to happen throughout Europe to all &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; &amp;quot;rightwing&amp;quot; parties. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 18:20, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If any of that were true, there would be no AfD.

We certainly have '''an order of magnitude''' – I want to emphasize this – an order of magnitude '''more resources of this kind than in Ukraine.

&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the policy of the '''current President today''' is to place production on the territory of the United States. But if American companies work for us, this is also a benefit, and a considerable one, because both companies will earn decent money, and the corresponding volumes of aluminum will be supplied to the domestic market at absolutely acceptable market prices.

:You see this in their prisoner interrogation interviews. The first question is usually, &amp;quot;Why did you come here with a gun?&amp;quot; If you are a foreign [[mercenary]] not protected by the [[Geneva Convention]] or a [[Ukrainian Nazi]], the interrogation usually ends abruptly with a bullet in the head. Americans thinking about travelling to [[Kursk]] or the [[Donbas]] really ought to think about this before swallowing wholesale [[USAID]]-funded [[propaganda]].

===&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot; is a word we've heard now several times in public forums from [[Vladimir Putin]] in reference to the [[United States]] and the [[Trump administration]] in the past week. This gives credence to the theories propounded by [[Stephen Bryen]]:&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/russia-us-peace-deal-on-ukraine-at Russia-US Peace Deal on Ukraine at an Advanced Stage] Zelensky will be asked to Cooperate&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/the-shoot-out-at-the-white-house The Shoot Out at the White House and some guesses about what happens next].&lt;br /&gt;
We have not heard the word &amp;quot;partners&amp;quot; in reference to the US or Europe from Putin or [[Lavrov]] since Feb 2022, replaced with terms like &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Partner&amp;quot; has been reserved for [[Belarus]] and others. We've yet to hear &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; being used  for [[European]] powers, [[Germany]], [[France]], [[UK]]. etc. of late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term generally means &amp;quot;negotiating partner&amp;quot;, where the parties have agreed on certain ground rules and objectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bryen alleges that there is a behind-the-scenes back channel that is far ahead of what is publicly known and reported. The fact that [[Keith Kellogg]], [[Waltz]] and [[Rubio]] appear cut out, and [[Middle East]] envoy [[Witkoff]] has appeared in the [[Kremlin]] is more evidence of Bryen's theory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ukraine]] and the [[Zelensky regime]] have been cut off by the Trump administration. The only question I can determine unresolved is, does this mean the port city of [[Odessa]] is also included in Russia's territorial demands, and a Ukrainian rump state will be landlocked? (There is an internal debate in Russia about not being overextended beyond what they can control and defend, such as what happened in 1989 with [[East Germany]] &amp;amp; the [[Warsaw Pact]], etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump's extension of [[Executive Order]] 13660 for another year means that the war will continue for another year, only without [[US]] assistance, and it remains to be seen what the &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot; European powers can bring to the table to continue more suffering and death. Alternatively, the US encouraging Europe to beef up its defense spending and take responsibility for itself is in line with Trump (and even Putin's) desire for a dissolution, or withdrawal, of the United States from [[NATO]].

&lt;br /&gt;
::'''Update:''' Sources say Bryen is correct - back channel negotiations have been ongoing &amp;quot;for months&amp;quot; apparently at a [[Swiss]] hotel (since December?). In the linked video above, I think it is [[Yermak]] (the actual [[policy]] making &amp;quot;president&amp;quot; of [[Ukraine]]) heading the [[Maidan regime]] delegation.

===Meetings between heads of state===&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings between [[heads of state]] are carefully crafted and carefully scripted. One off-script word by either party can throw the meeting into chaos (as just witnessed). At the [[Riyadh]] meeting last week, the US side was reported to have asked for a summit with Putin, and the Russian response was reported to be more time is needed for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1972 the Moscow Summit between [[Nixon]] &amp;amp; [[Brezhnev]] that ushered in the age of ''[[detente]]'' was nearly derailed at the last minute because of an off-the-cuff comment made by Brezhnev. As Nixon arrived in Moscow, a light mist was falling. As Nixon stepped off the plane Brezhnev greeted him with, &amp;quot;This is a mushroom rain&amp;quot;. When the off-script comment was translated, it was interpreted as a threat. What did Brezhnev mean by that? a mushroom cloud? [[nuclear war]]? [[nuclear winter]]? etc. The translators had to sort things out and play diplomat for a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Russia, like [[baseball]] in the [[United States]], mushroom hunting in the woods in the national pastime. It's a big weekend family event for city dwellers, complete with instruction guides, where and when to hunt for what type of mushrooms, etc. The translators had only minutes to explain this cultural phenomenon and idiom to American State Department and White House officials, and that nothing was implied by the off-hand remark, and hope it would be received well in [[good faith]] by the American side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But of course, when you have an undisciplined [[cocaine]] addict and [[popular culture]] figure like [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] representing your interests, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

🚨 &amp;quot;No Other Land&amp;quot; Exposed by Pro-Palestinian Activist 🚨&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is the text of a Facebook post published by Erez Ganor—an Israeli who claims to have worked for years to help Palestinians—about the Oscar-winning documentary &amp;quot;No Other Land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erez deleted this post after experiencing significant backlash from other pro-Palestinian activists. It's very long, so here are the most notable parts, in my opinion:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I just want to say that the film in question is a staged production made at the expense of the very residents whose outcry it claims to represent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is an opportunistic family [referring to co-writer &amp;amp; co-director Basel Adra] that has made a name for itself at the expense of the residents of the village of Al-Tuwani.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Upon thorough investigation, it turned out they were receiving donations and selling them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat).&lt;br /&gt;
Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census.&lt;br /&gt;
It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox.&lt;br /&gt;
The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as &amp;quot;The Moscovia,&amp;quot; which still exists today.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community.&lt;br /&gt;
A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police.&lt;br /&gt;
This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

THE THIRTY-YEAR GENOCIDE.&lt;br /&gt;
Turkey’s Destruction of Its Christian Minorities, 1894-1924.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;Between 1894 and 1924, they write, between 1.5 million and 2.5 million Ottoman Christians perished; greater accuracy is impossible. Whatever the shifts in regime, all these killings were instigated by Muslim Turks who drew in other Muslims and invoked Islamic solidarity.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Tariffs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have to say that when I voted for Trump, I had no idea that I was voting for across-the-board tariffs. What happened to the Keystone pipeline? This was a pipeline to bring in oil from Canada that Trump approved in his first term. Trump negotiated the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) free trade agreement in July 2020. Since returning to office, he has torn up that agreement without explanation. Biden raised tariffs more than Trump did in his first term. Yeah, Trump talked a lot about tariffs. They have always been an issue close to his heart. But I assumed he meant tariffs against China. Stocks are down by four percent since the start of the tariff whirlwind. The Trump's tariff &amp;quot;pause&amp;quot; has yet to lead to any recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not about money, but our national soul, as Trump put it in the State of the Union. If it's about our soul, how are we supposed to think about the trade agreements that Trump negotiated in his first term? [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 03:49, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Nearly 108,000 persons in the U.S. died from drug-involved overdose in 2022 and fentanyl is a big and growing problem in Canada that could be mitigated. But the liberal Trudeau and some of the liberal Canadian politicians have bad public policy. Maybe Trump is using the tariff thumbscrew to get concessions related to Canadian fentanyl. But maybe he just wants to bring factories back to the USA. Maybe he just doesn't like Trudeau and he enjoys tormenting him. Maybe it is all these reasons or a combination of some of them. With that being said, dissing Canada and calling it the 51st state hurts U.S. product/service sales to Canada. One last thing related to Canada is that they spend very little on defense and free ride off the USA so Trump may resent that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The USA does have a trade deficit and the USA has tolerated unfair trade practices in the past due to wanting to get alliances back in the Cold War days. But the Soviet Union is long gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Maybe reciprocal tariffs involves some short-term pain to get long-term benefits. The Chinese have a very low birthrate so the USA has to make a transition over time as far as not counting on the Chinese to manufacture things. Next, there is a danger of Trump using a tariff sledgehammer against China and there not being enough manufacturing capacity to replace them should their economy be badly damaged. China already has big economic problems so taking more pieces out of their Jenga economy could have some unintended consequences that are deleterious to the USA.

:::Dianne3000, I just did the math. There is a trade deficit of $984 billion per annum for the USA. There are about 325 million Americans. So that is about $2,000 a year per American as far as the trade deficit. The USA has 4 times the labor productivity of China overall. A study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found that manufacturing workers earn 13% more in hourly compensation than comparable workers in the rest of the private sector.[https://www.google.com/search?q=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;oq=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEJMjE5OTlqMGoxqAIAsAIA&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8] And then there is the labor rates of the various countries and the different specializations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::It's a complex issue. But at the end of the day, the USA should improve its educational system so people are better prepared. Also, there is a big housing shortage and there appears to be a shortage of tradesmen, but how much of the housing shortage will be fixed via deportations and the baby boomers dying off, I don't know.

::::::::::An explanation of purchasing power parity from Investopedia: &amp;quot;Purchasing power parity (PPP) is a popular macroeconomic analysis metric used to compare economic productivity and standards of living between countries. PPP involves an economic theory that compares different countries' currencies through a &amp;quot;basket of goods&amp;quot; approach. That is, PPP is the exchange rate at which one nation's currency would be converted into another to purchase the same and same amounts of a large group of products. According to this concept, two currencies are in equilibrium—their currencies are at par—when a basket of goods is priced the same in both countries, taking into account the exchange rates.&amp;quot;[https://www.investopedia.com/updates/purchasing-power-parity-ppp/] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 19:37, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

To give some idea of the intensity of the fighting: [[NATO]]/[[Ukraine]] has lost 58,000 in the [[NATO invasion of Kursk|Kursk invasion]] since November 4, 2024 (3 months) - more dead than the [[United States]] lost in 10 years of the [[Vietnam war]].

{{Cquote|Throughout the period of the current cease-fire, Hamas has been systematically dismantling its own side’s propaganda. The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.&lt;br /&gt;
Then on Saturday''' Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand'''. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.&lt;br /&gt;
Every claim made against Israel was projection. Hamas had been doing all the things it accused Israel of, accusations that the media gleefully echoed like pet-shop parrots.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''The three men had lost half their body weight. They were starved. Hung up by their legs. Chained. One only walked for the first time on the day he was released. He had to learn how to use his feet again. They were strangled, beaten, burned. The hostages were supposed to be the terrorist’s grand plan, their prize assets. Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation. In a way they could not ignore. Though some still are determined to look away and continue the narrative of victimhood. It is becoming more difficult with every abused innocent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps.''' We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.&lt;br /&gt;

Israel: Hamas a ‘death cult that murders, tortures, parades dead bodies’.&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization &amp;quot;has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,&amp;quot; government spokesman David Mencer said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Feb. 20, 2025 / JNS)&lt;br /&gt;
An Israeli government spokesman slammed Hamas as a “death cult” after it paraded the coffins containing the remains of four civilian hostages, including those of a baby and a child, during a propaganda stage show in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip, on Thursday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hamas is not a resistance movement. Hamas is a death cult that murders, that tortures and parades dead bodies,” government spokesman David Mencer told journalists during a press briefing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization “has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the bodies has been identified as belonging to hostage Oded Lifshitz, his family confirmed on Thursday afternoon after identification at the National Center of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other remains handed over by the Palestinian terror organization were said to be those of Shiri Bibas (32 when captured on Oct. 7, 2023) and her sons, Ariel (4 when taken) and Kfir (9 months old when taken).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four bodies were transferred to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross after the propaganda ceremony attended by members of Hamas’s “military wing,” Gaza civilians and terrorists released under the auspices of previous prisoner swaps.&lt;br /&gt;

==Germany - understanding the difference between the American and parliamentary systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's take this opportunity to understand the difference between the American and parliamentary systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the [[Electoral College]], the [[constitutional]] requirement of a 51% majority to elect a [[head of government]], that has turned the [[United States]] into a &amp;quot;two party system&amp;quot;. Parliamentary systems often have 3 or 5, or even more &amp;quot;major parties&amp;quot;, with rarely any of them having 51% majority. Hence they often have to forge &amp;quot;[[coalition]]&amp;quot; governments, with the leader of the party with a [[plurality]] becoming [[prime minister]] and offering important cabinet posts to their junior coalition partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example in [[Germany]], the alleged &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; [[Christian Democratic Union]] ruled for 16 years under [[Merkel]] until it was voted out a few years ago in favor of the Socialist, Green, and Free Democrat coalition. It was just voted back in with 29%, but refuses to form a coalition with the &amp;quot;far right&amp;quot; [[AfD]]. So it goes from being &amp;quot;opposition&amp;quot; to the [[Social Democrat]]s to being a coalition partner now along with the &amp;quot;far left&amp;quot; [[Green Party]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IOWs, despite gains by the [[conservative]] AfD - which individually is larger than the Socialists or Greens, the [[leftwing]] Socialists &amp;amp; Greens remain in the governing coalition along with the so-called &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; Christian Democrats. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:51, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, despite 50%+ of Germans voting &amp;quot;right wing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot;, the conservatives did not &amp;quot;win&amp;quot;, and the extreme [[leftist]] [[Socialist]]s &amp;amp; [[Greens]] remain in power. The same thing happened in [[Sweden]] a few years ago, and will continue to happen throughout Europe to all &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; &amp;quot;rightwing&amp;quot; parties. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 18:20, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

[https://therightscoop.com/president-trump-celebrates-conservative-win-in-germanys-elections/ Read this article]. It could not be more wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|Looks like the conservative party in Germany has won the very big and highly anticipated election. Much like the USA, the people of Germany got tired of the no common sense agenda, especially on energy and immigration, that has prevailed for so many years.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;The man poised to be the next chancellor of Germany is Friedrich Merz, of the conservative Christian Democratic Union.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If any of that were true, there would be no AfD. It was the Christian Democratic Union that opened the floodgates on immigration, was voted out for it, and the Socialists and Greens just lost their status as leaders of the coalition for not stopping it.

We certainly have '''an order of magnitude''' – I want to emphasize this – an order of magnitude '''more resources of this kind than in Ukraine.

&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the policy of the '''current President today''' is to place production on the territory of the United States. But if American companies work for us, this is also a benefit, and a considerable one, because both companies will earn decent money, and the corresponding volumes of aluminum will be supplied to the domestic market at absolutely acceptable market prices. There is much to think about here, as well as joint work on rare and '''rare-earth metals''', and in other areas, including, for example, energy.

===&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot; is a word we've heard now several times in public forums from [[Vladimir Putin]] in reference to the [[United States]] and the [[Trump administration]] in the past week. This gives credence to the theories propounded by [[Stephen Bryen]]:&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/russia-us-peace-deal-on-ukraine-at Russia-US Peace Deal on Ukraine at an Advanced Stage] Zelensky will be asked to Cooperate&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/the-shoot-out-at-the-white-house The Shoot Out at the White House and some guesses about what happens next].&lt;br /&gt;
We have not heard the word &amp;quot;partners&amp;quot; in reference to the US or Europe from Putin or [[Lavrov]] since Feb 2022, replaced with terms like &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Partner&amp;quot; has been reserved for [[Belarus]] and others. We've yet to hear &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; being used  for [[European]] powers, [[Germany]], [[France]], [[UK]]. etc. of late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term generally means &amp;quot;negotiating partner&amp;quot;, where the parties have agreed on certain ground rules and objectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bryen alleges that there is a behind-the-scenes back channel that is far ahead of what is publicly known and reported. The fact that [[Keith Kellogg]], [[Waltz]] and [[Rubio]] appear cut out, and [[Middle East]] envoy [[Witkoff]] has appeared in the [[Kremlin]] is more evidence of Bryen's theory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ukraine]] and the [[Zelensky regime]] have been cut off by the Trump administration. The only question I can determine unresolved is, does this mean the port city of [[Odessa]] is also included in Russia's territorial demands, and a Ukrainian rump state will be landlocked? (There is an internal debate in Russia about not being overextended beyond what they can control and defend, such as what happened in 1989 with [[East Germany]] &amp;amp; the [[Warsaw Pact]], etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump's extension of [[Executive Order]] 13660 for another year means that the war will continue for another year, only without [[US]] assistance, and it remains to be seen what the &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot; European powers can bring to the table to continue more suffering and death. Alternatively, the US encouraging Europe to beef up its defense spending and take responsibility for itself is in line with Trump (and even Putin's) desire for a dissolution, or withdrawal, of the United States from [[NATO]].

::'''Update:''' Sources say Bryen is correct - back channel negotiations have been ongoing &amp;quot;for months&amp;quot; apparently at a [[Swiss]] hotel (since December?).

===Meetings between heads of state===&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings between [[heads of state]] are carefully crafted and carefully scripted. One off-script word by either party can throw the meeting into chaos (as just witnessed). At the [[Riyadh]] meeting last week, the US side was reported to have asked for a summit with Putin, and the Russian response was reported to be more time is needed for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1972 the Moscow Summit between [[Nixon]] &amp;amp; [[Brezhnev]] that ushered in the age of ''[[detente]]'' was nearly derailed at the last minute because of an off-the-cuff comment made by Brezhnev. As Nixon arrived in Moscow, a light mist was falling. As Nixon stepped off the plane Brezhnev greeted him with, &amp;quot;This is a mushroom rain&amp;quot;. When the off-script comment was translated, it was interpreted as a threat. What did Brezhnev mean by that? a mushroom cloud? [[nuclear war]]? [[nuclear winter]]? etc. The translators had to sort things out and play diplomat for a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Russia, like [[baseball]] in the [[United States]], mushroom hunting in the woods in the national pastime. It's a big weekend family event for city dwellers, complete with instruction guides, where and when to hunt for what type of mushrooms, etc. The translators had only minutes to explain this cultural phenomenon and idiom to American State Department and White House officials, and that nothing was implied by the off-hand remark, and hope it would be received well in [[good faith]] by the American side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But of course, when you have an undisciplined [[cocaine]] addict and [[popular culture]] figure like [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] representing your interests, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

🚨 &amp;quot;No Other Land&amp;quot; Exposed by Pro-Palestinian Activist 🚨&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is the text of a Facebook post published by Erez Ganor—an Israeli who claims to have worked for years to help Palestinians—about the Oscar-winning documentary &amp;quot;No Other Land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erez deleted this post after experiencing significant backlash from other pro-Palestinian activists. It's very long, so here are the most notable parts, in my opinion:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I just want to say that the film in question is a staged production made at the expense of the very residents whose outcry it claims to represent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is an opportunistic family [referring to co-writer &amp;amp; co-director Basel Adra] that has made a name for itself at the expense of the residents of the village of Al-Tuwani.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Upon thorough investigation, it turned out they were receiving donations and selling them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat).&lt;br /&gt;
Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census.&lt;br /&gt;
It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox.&lt;br /&gt;
The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as &amp;quot;The Moscovia,&amp;quot; which still exists today.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community.&lt;br /&gt;
A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police.&lt;br /&gt;
This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

== Tariffs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have to say that when I voted for Trump, I had no idea that I was voting for across-the-board tariffs. What happened to the Keystone pipeline? This was a pipeline to bring in oil from Canada that Trump approved in his first term. Trump negotiated the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) free trade agreement in July 2020. Since returning to office, he has torn up that agreement without explanation. Biden raised tariffs more than Trump did in his first term. Yeah, Trump talked a lot about tariffs. They have always been an issue close to his heart. But I assumed he meant tariffs against China. Stocks are down by four percent since the start of the tariff whirlwind. The Trump's tariff &amp;quot;pause&amp;quot; has yet to lead to any recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not about money, but our national soul, as Trump put it in the State of the Union. If it's about our soul, how are we supposed to think about the trade agreements that Trump negotiated in his first term?

:Nearly 108,000 persons in the U.S. died from drug-involved overdose in 2022 and fentanyl is a big and growing problem in Canada that could be mitigated. But the liberal Trudeau and some of the liberal Canadian politicians have bad public policy. Maybe Trump is using the tariff thumbscrew to get concessions related to Canadian fentanyl. But maybe he just wants to bring factories back to the USA. Maybe he just doesn't like Trudeau and he enjoys tormenting him. Maybe it is all these reasons or a combination of some of them. With that being said, dissing Canada and calling it the 51st state hurts U.S. product/service sales to Canada. One last thing related to Canada is that they spend very little on defense and free ride off the USA so Trump may resent that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The USA does have a trade deficit and the USA has tolerated unfair trade practices in the past due to wanting to get alliances back in the Cold War days. But the Soviet Union is long gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Maybe reciprocal tariffs involves some short-term pain to get long-term benefits. The Chinese have a very low birthrate so the USA has to make a transition over time as far as not counting on the Chinese to manufacture things. Next, there is a danger of Trump using a tariff sledgehammer against China and there not being enough manufacturing capacity to replace them should their economy be badly damaged. China already has big economic problems so taking more pieces out of their Jenga economy could have some unintended consequences that are deleterious to the USA.

:::Dianne3000, I just did the math. There is a trade deficit of $984 billion per annum for the USA. There are about 325 million Americans. So that is about $2,000 a year per American as far as the trade deficit. The USA has 4 times the labor productivity of China overall. A study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found that manufacturing workers earn 13% more in hourly compensation than comparable workers in the rest of the private sector.[https://www.google.com/search?q=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;oq=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEJMjE5OTlqMGoxqAIAsAIA&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8] And then there is the labor rates of the various countries and the different specializations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::It's a complex issue. But at the end of the day, the USA should improve its educational system so people are better prepared.

That is, PPP is the exchange rate at which one nation's currency would be converted into another to purchase the same and same amounts of a large group of products.

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Trump.''' We are having discussions, yes, ongoing already scheduled and ongoing, already talking yes&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Question.''' So you've already spoken with Vladimir Putin?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Trump.''' I don't want to say that but we are having very serious discussions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This means [[Rubio]] initiated calls with [[Lavrov]] &amp;amp; [[Ratcliffe]] with Naryshkin ([[Hegseth]] &amp;amp; [[Belousov]] are probably out of the loop as yet, as is [[Gerasimov]] until Trump replaces Biden's [[DEI]] [[JCS]] chair.) They're doing the groundwork for a Putin-Trump call, which will be 99% scripted and initiated by Trump. Keep your eyes peeled.

To give some idea of the intensity of the fighting: [[NATO]]/[[Ukraine]] has lost 58,000 in the [[NATO invasion of Kursk|Kursk invasion]] since November 4, 2024 (3 months) - more dead than the [[United States]] lost in 10 years of the [[Vietnam war]]. I don't see this being reported anywhere. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 22:00, February 10, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Bottomline: It appears Russia's [[innovative]] [[electronic warfare]] capabilities forced Trump to the peace table. Ratcliffe &amp;amp; Hegseth spoke first. (See Markus Reisner, superintendent of [[Austria]]'s Theresian Military Academy: [https://youtu.be/6B6HRRByeIY Electronic warfare: key technology in the Ukraine war].&lt;br /&gt;

:Yes. This evidently corroborates the theory that back channel negotiations were ongoing in Switzerland, possibly since ''before'' Trump took office. This would not be possible without [[Biden regime]] formal consent, meaning there is a paper trail. Recall, it was Biden's idea to prosecute [[Gen. Flynn]] under the 1799 [[Logan Act]] for early contact with Russians.

{{Cquote|Throughout the period of the current cease-fire, Hamas has been systematically dismantling its own side’s propaganda. The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.&lt;br /&gt;
Then on Saturday''' Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand'''. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.&lt;br /&gt;
Every claim made against Israel was projection. Hamas had been doing all the things it accused Israel of, accusations that the media gleefully echoed like pet-shop parrots.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''The three men had lost half their body weight. They were starved. Hung up by their legs. Chained. One only walked for the first time on the day he was released. He had to learn how to use his feet again. They were strangled, beaten, burned. The hostages were supposed to be the terrorist’s grand plan, their prize assets. Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation. In a way they could not ignore. Though some still are determined to look away and continue the narrative of victimhood. It is becoming more difficult with every abused innocent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps.''' We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.&lt;br /&gt;

Israel: Hamas a ‘death cult that murders, tortures, parades dead bodies’.&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization &amp;quot;has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,&amp;quot; government spokesman David Mencer said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Feb. 20, 2025 / JNS)&lt;br /&gt;
An Israeli government spokesman slammed Hamas as a “death cult” after it paraded the coffins containing the remains of four civilian hostages, including those of a baby and a child, during a propaganda stage show in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip, on Thursday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hamas is not a resistance movement. Hamas is a death cult that murders, that tortures and parades dead bodies,” government spokesman David Mencer told journalists during a press briefing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization “has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the bodies has been identified as belonging to hostage Oded Lifshitz, his family confirmed on Thursday afternoon after identification at the National Center of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other remains handed over by the Palestinian terror organization were said to be those of Shiri Bibas (32 when captured on Oct. 7, 2023) and her sons, Ariel (4 when taken) and Kfir (9 months old when taken).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four bodies were transferred to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross after the propaganda ceremony attended by members of Hamas’s “military wing,” Gaza civilians and terrorists released under the auspices of previous prisoner swaps.&lt;br /&gt;

==Germany - understanding the difference between the American and parliamentary systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's take this opportunity to understand the difference between the American and parliamentary systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the [[Electoral College]], the [[constitutional]] requirement of a 51% majority to elect a [[head of government]], that has turned the [[United States]] into a &amp;quot;two party system&amp;quot;. Parliamentary systems often have 3 or 5, or even more &amp;quot;major parties&amp;quot;, with rarely any of them having 51% majority. Hence they often have to forge &amp;quot;[[coalition]]&amp;quot; governments, with the leader of the party with a [[plurality]] becoming [[prime minister]] and offering important cabinet posts to their junior coalition partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example in [[Germany]], the alleged &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; [[Christian Democratic Union]] ruled for 16 years under [[Merkel]] until it was voted out a few years ago in favor of the Socialist, Green, and Free Democrat coalition. It was just voted back in with 29%, but refuses to form a coalition with the &amp;quot;far right&amp;quot; [[AfD]]. So it goes from being &amp;quot;opposition&amp;quot; to the [[Social Democrat]]s to being a coalition partner now along with the &amp;quot;far left&amp;quot; [[Green Party]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IOWs, despite gains by the [[conservative]] AfD - which individually is larger than the Socialists or Greens, the [[leftwing]] Socialists &amp;amp; Greens remain in the governing coalition along with the so-called &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; Christian Democrats. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:51, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, despite 50%+ of Germans voting &amp;quot;right wing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot;, the conservatives did not &amp;quot;win&amp;quot;, and the extreme [[leftist]] [[Socialist]]s &amp;amp; [[Greens]] remain in power. The same thing happened in [[Sweden]] a few years ago, and will continue to happen throughout Europe to all &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; &amp;quot;rightwing&amp;quot; parties. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 18:20, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|Looks like the conservative party in Germany has won the very big and highly anticipated election. Much like the USA, the people of Germany got tired of the no common sense agenda, especially on energy and immigration, that has prevailed for so many years.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;The man poised to be the next chancellor of Germany is Friedrich Merz, of the conservative Christian Democratic Union.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If any of that were true, there would be no AfD. It was the Christian Democratic Union that opened the floodgates on immigration, was voted out for it, and the Socialists and Greens just lost their status as leaders of the coalition for not stopping it. [https://youtu.be/ylxaKuhO_14?t=318 Merz has already vowed not] to allow the conservative populist, reformist, and &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; AfD - most of which came from the CDU - into the government.&lt;br /&gt;

We certainly have '''an order of magnitude''' – I want to emphasize this – an order of magnitude '''more resources of this kind than in Ukraine. Russia is one of the undisputed leaders in terms of reserves of these rare and rare-earth metals.'''...What is most important, in my opinion, is that '''we could think together with [[American]] companies about working together in this area.''' For example, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, back in Soviet times, there were plans to build a new hydroelectric power station and create additional [[aluminum]] production facilities. After all, aluminum is, first of all, energy, and preferably cheap energy. Hydroelectric power is cheap, and among other things, it is also environmentally friendly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is why, I repeat, there are such plans since the Soviet era, but these are [[capital]]-intensive, investment-intensive projects: according to preliminary estimates, it cost or will cost about '''$15 billion''' at today's prices. We can think about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the policy of the '''current President today''' is to place production on the territory of the United States. But if American companies work for us, this is also a benefit, and a considerable one, because both companies will earn decent money, and the corresponding volumes of aluminum will be supplied to the domestic market at absolutely acceptable market prices. There is much to think about here, as well as joint work on rare and '''rare-earth metals''', and in other areas, including, for example, energy.

===&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot; is a word we've heard now several times in public forums from [[Vladimir Putin]] in reference to the [[United States]] and the [[Trump administration]] in the past week. This gives credence to the theories propounded by [[Stephen Bryen]]:&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/russia-us-peace-deal-on-ukraine-at Russia-US Peace Deal on Ukraine at an Advanced Stage] Zelensky will be asked to Cooperate&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/the-shoot-out-at-the-white-house The Shoot Out at the White House and some guesses about what happens next].&lt;br /&gt;
We have not heard the word &amp;quot;partners&amp;quot; in reference to the US or Europe from Putin or [[Lavrov]] since Feb 2022, replaced with terms like &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Partner&amp;quot; has been reserved for [[Belarus]] and others. We've yet to hear &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; being used  for [[European]] powers, [[Germany]], [[France]], [[UK]]. etc. of late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term generally means &amp;quot;negotiating partner&amp;quot;, where the parties have agreed on certain ground rules and objectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bryen alleges that there is a behind-the-scenes back channel that is far ahead of what is publicly known and reported. The fact that [[Keith Kellogg]], [[Waltz]] and [[Rubio]] appear cut out, and [[Middle East]] envoy [[Witkoff]] has appeared in the [[Kremlin]] is more evidence of Bryen's theory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ukraine]] and the [[Zelensky regime]] have been cut off by the Trump administration. The only question I can determine unresolved is, does this mean the port city of [[Odessa]] is also included in Russia's territorial demands, and a Ukrainian rump state will be landlocked? (There is an internal debate in Russia about not being overextended beyond what they can control and defend, such as what happened in 1989 with [[East Germany]] &amp;amp; the [[Warsaw Pact]], etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump's extension of [[Executive Order]] 13660 for another year means that the war will continue for another year, only without [[US]] assistance, and it remains to be seen what the &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot; European powers can bring to the table to continue more suffering and death. Alternatively, the US encouraging Europe to beef up its defense spending and take responsibility for itself is in line with Trump (and even Putin's) desire for a dissolution, or withdrawal, of the United States from [[NATO]].

===Meetings between heads of state===&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings between [[heads of state]] are carefully crafted and carefully scripted. One off-script word by either party can throw the meeting into chaos (as just witnessed). At the [[Riyadh]] meeting last week, the US side was reported to have asked for a summit with Putin, and the Russian response was reported to be more time is needed for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1972 the Moscow Summit between [[Nixon]] &amp;amp; [[Brezhnev]] that ushered in the age of ''[[detente]]'' was nearly derailed at the last minute because of an off-the-cuff comment made by Brezhnev. As Nixon arrived in Moscow, a light mist was falling. As Nixon stepped off the plane Brezhnev greeted him with, &amp;quot;This is a mushroom rain&amp;quot;. When the off-script comment was translated, it was interpreted as a threat. What did Brezhnev mean by that? a mushroom cloud? [[nuclear war]]? [[nuclear winter]]? etc. The translators had to sort things out and play diplomat for a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Russia, like [[baseball]] in the [[United States]], mushroom hunting in the woods in the national pastime. It's a big weekend family event for city dwellers, complete with instruction guides, where and when to hunt for what type of mushrooms, etc. The translators had only minutes to explain this cultural phenomenon and idiom to American State Department and White House officials, and that nothing was implied by the off-hand remark, and hope it would be received well in [[good faith]] by the American side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But of course, when you have an undisciplined [[cocaine]] addict and [[popular culture]] figure like [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] representing your interests, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

:Zelensky, and he is not alone in this, keeps misusing and misunderstanding the [[Reagan]] era slogan of &amp;quot;Peace through Strength&amp;quot;. He repeated it again in the [[Oval Office]] on Friday. In this telling, &amp;quot;Peace Through Strength&amp;quot; is akin to &amp;quot;Might Makes Right&amp;quot;.

🚨 &amp;quot;No Other Land&amp;quot; Exposed by Pro-Palestinian Activist 🚨&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is the text of a Facebook post published by Erez Ganor—an Israeli who claims to have worked for years to help Palestinians—about the Oscar-winning documentary &amp;quot;No Other Land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erez deleted this post after experiencing significant backlash from other pro-Palestinian activists. It's very long, so here are the most notable parts, in my opinion:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I just want to say that the film in question is a staged production made at the expense of the very residents whose outcry it claims to represent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is an opportunistic family [referring to co-writer &amp;amp; co-director Basel Adra] that has made a name for itself at the expense of the residents of the village of Al-Tuwani.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Upon thorough investigation, it turned out they were receiving donations and selling them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat).&lt;br /&gt;
Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census.&lt;br /&gt;
It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox.&lt;br /&gt;
The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as &amp;quot;The Moscovia,&amp;quot; which still exists today.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community.&lt;br /&gt;
A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police.&lt;br /&gt;
This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

:So the 1922 massacre occurred at the same time as the Armenian massacre. In a sense, we could say the Armenian massacre is misnomer, cause it didn't target just Armenians but rather non-Muslims.

== Tariffs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have to say that when I voted for Trump, I had no idea that I was voting for across-the-board tariffs. What happened to the Keystone pipeline? This was a pipeline to bring in oil from Canada that Trump approved in his first term. Trump negotiated the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) free trade agreement in July 2020. Since returning to office, he has torn up that agreement without explanation. Biden raised tariffs more than Trump did in his first term. Yeah, Trump talked a lot about tariffs. They have always been an issue close to his heart. But I assumed he meant tariffs against China. Stocks are down by four percent since the start of the tariff whirlwind. The Trump's tariff &amp;quot;pause&amp;quot; has yet to lead to any recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not about money, but our national soul, as Trump put it in the State of the Union. If it's about our soul, how are we supposed to think about the trade agreements that Trump negotiated in his first term? [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 03:49, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Nearly 108,000 persons in the U.S. died from drug-involved overdose in 2022 and fentanyl is a big and growing problem in Canada that could be mitigated. But the liberal Trudeau and some of the liberal Canadian politicians have bad public policy. Maybe Trump is using the tariff thumbscrew to get concessions related to Canadian fentanyl. But maybe he just wants to bring factories back to the USA. Maybe he just doesn't like Trudeau and he enjoys tormenting him. Maybe it is all these reasons or a combination of some of them. With that being said, dissing Canada and calling it the 51st state hurts U.S. product/service sales to Canada. One last thing related to Canada is that they spend very little on defense and free ride off the USA so Trump may resent that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The USA does have a trade deficit and the USA has tolerated unfair trade practices in the past due to wanting to get alliances back in the Cold War days. But the Soviet Union is long gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Maybe reciprocal tariffs involves some short-term pain to get long-term benefits. The Chinese have a very low birthrate so the USA has to make a transition over time as far as not counting on the Chinese to manufacture things. Next, there is a danger of Trump using a tariff sledgehammer against China and there not being enough manufacturing capacity to replace them should their economy be badly damaged. China already has big economic problems so taking more pieces out of their Jenga economy could have some unintended consequences that are deleterious to the USA.

:::Dianne3000, I just did the math. There is a trade deficit of $984 billion per annum for the USA. There are about 325 million Americans. So that is about $2,000 a year per American as far as the trade deficit. The USA has 4 times the labor productivity of China overall. A study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found that manufacturing workers earn 13% more in hourly compensation than comparable workers in the rest of the private sector.[https://www.google.com/search?q=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;oq=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEJMjE5OTlqMGoxqAIAsAIA&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8] And then there is the labor rates of the various countries and the different specializations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::It's a complex issue. But at the end of the day, the USA should improve its educational system so people are better prepared. Also, there is a big housing shortage and there appears to be a shortage of tradesmen, but how much of the housing shortage will be fixed via deportations and the baby boomers dying off, I don't know.

PPP involves an economic theory that compares different countries' currencies through a &amp;quot;basket of goods&amp;quot; approach. That is, PPP is the exchange rate at which one nation's currency would be converted into another to purchase the same and same amounts of a large group of products. According to this concept, two currencies are in equilibrium—their currencies are at par—when a basket of goods is priced the same in both countries, taking into account the exchange rates.&amp;quot;[https://www.investopedia.com/updates/purchasing-power-parity-ppp/] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 19:37, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|Throughout the period of the current cease-fire, Hamas has been systematically dismantling its own side’s propaganda. The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.&lt;br /&gt;
Then on Saturday''' Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand'''. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.&lt;br /&gt;
Every claim made against Israel was projection. Hamas had been doing all the things it accused Israel of, accusations that the media gleefully echoed like pet-shop parrots.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''The three men had lost half their body weight. They were starved. Hung up by their legs. Chained. One only walked for the first time on the day he was released. He had to learn how to use his feet again. They were strangled, beaten, burned. The hostages were supposed to be the terrorist’s grand plan, their prize assets. Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation.

'''The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps.''' We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
He was murdered on Oct. 7. Hamas took his body to Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;

Israel: Hamas a ‘death cult that murders, tortures, parades dead bodies’.&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization &amp;quot;has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,&amp;quot; government spokesman David Mencer said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Feb. 20, 2025 / JNS)&lt;br /&gt;
An Israeli government spokesman slammed Hamas as a “death cult” after it paraded the coffins containing the remains of four civilian hostages, including those of a baby and a child, during a propaganda stage show in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip, on Thursday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hamas is not a resistance movement. Hamas is a death cult that murders, that tortures and parades dead bodies,” government spokesman David Mencer told journalists during a press briefing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization “has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the bodies has been identified as belonging to hostage Oded Lifshitz, his family confirmed on Thursday afternoon after identification at the National Center of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other remains handed over by the Palestinian terror organization were said to be those of Shiri Bibas (32 when captured on Oct. 7, 2023) and her sons, Ariel (4 when taken) and Kfir (9 months old when taken).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four bodies were transferred to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross after the propaganda ceremony attended by members of Hamas’s “military wing,” Gaza civilians and terrorists released under the auspices of previous prisoner swaps.&lt;br /&gt;

==Germany - understanding the difference between the American and parliamentary systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's take this opportunity to understand the difference between the American and parliamentary systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the [[Electoral College]], the [[constitutional]] requirement of a 51% majority to elect a [[head of government]], that has turned the [[United States]] into a &amp;quot;two party system&amp;quot;. Parliamentary systems often have 3 or 5, or even more &amp;quot;major parties&amp;quot;, with rarely any of them having 51% majority. Hence they often have to forge &amp;quot;[[coalition]]&amp;quot; governments, with the leader of the party with a [[plurality]] becoming [[prime minister]] and offering important cabinet posts to their junior coalition partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example in [[Germany]], the alleged &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; [[Christian Democratic Union]] ruled for 16 years under [[Merkel]] until it was voted out a few years ago in favor of the Socialist, Green, and Free Democrat coalition. It was just voted back in with 29%, but refuses to form a coalition with the &amp;quot;far right&amp;quot; [[AfD]]. So it goes from being &amp;quot;opposition&amp;quot; to the [[Social Democrat]]s to being a coalition partner now along with the &amp;quot;far left&amp;quot; [[Green Party]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IOWs, despite gains by the [[conservative]] AfD - which individually is larger than the Socialists or Greens, the [[leftwing]] Socialists &amp;amp; Greens remain in the governing coalition along with the so-called &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; Christian Democrats. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:51, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, despite 50%+ of Germans voting &amp;quot;right wing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot;, the conservatives did not &amp;quot;win&amp;quot;, and the extreme [[leftist]] [[Socialist]]s &amp;amp; [[Greens]] remain in power. The same thing happened in [[Sweden]] a few years ago, and will continue to happen throughout Europe to all &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; &amp;quot;rightwing&amp;quot; parties. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 18:20, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If any of that were true, there would be no AfD. It was the Christian Democratic Union that opened the floodgates on immigration, was voted out for it, and the Socialists and Greens just lost their status as leaders of the coalition for not stopping it.

We certainly have '''an order of magnitude''' – I want to emphasize this – an order of magnitude '''more resources of this kind than in Ukraine.

&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the policy of the '''current President today''' is to place production on the territory of the United States. But if American companies work for us, this is also a benefit, and a considerable one, because both companies will earn decent money, and the corresponding volumes of aluminum will be supplied to the domestic market at absolutely acceptable market prices.

:You see this in their prisoner interrogation interviews. The first question is usually, &amp;quot;Why did you come here with a gun?&amp;quot; If you are a foreign [[mercenary]] not protected by the [[Geneva Convention]] or a [[Ukrainian Nazi]], the interrogation usually ends abruptly with a bullet in the head. Americans thinking about travelling to [[Kursk]] or the [[Donbas]] really ought to think about this before swallowing wholesale [[USAID]]-funded [[propaganda]].

===&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot; is a word we've heard now several times in public forums from [[Vladimir Putin]] in reference to the [[United States]] and the [[Trump administration]] in the past week. This gives credence to the theories propounded by [[Stephen Bryen]]:&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/russia-us-peace-deal-on-ukraine-at Russia-US Peace Deal on Ukraine at an Advanced Stage] Zelensky will be asked to Cooperate&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/the-shoot-out-at-the-white-house The Shoot Out at the White House and some guesses about what happens next].&lt;br /&gt;
We have not heard the word &amp;quot;partners&amp;quot; in reference to the US or Europe from Putin or [[Lavrov]] since Feb 2022, replaced with terms like &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Partner&amp;quot; has been reserved for [[Belarus]] and others. We've yet to hear &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; being used  for [[European]] powers, [[Germany]], [[France]], [[UK]]. etc. of late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term generally means &amp;quot;negotiating partner&amp;quot;, where the parties have agreed on certain ground rules and objectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bryen alleges that there is a behind-the-scenes back channel that is far ahead of what is publicly known and reported. The fact that [[Keith Kellogg]], [[Waltz]] and [[Rubio]] appear cut out, and [[Middle East]] envoy [[Witkoff]] has appeared in the [[Kremlin]] is more evidence of Bryen's theory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ukraine]] and the [[Zelensky regime]] have been cut off by the Trump administration. The only question I can determine unresolved is, does this mean the port city of [[Odessa]] is also included in Russia's territorial demands, and a Ukrainian rump state will be landlocked? (There is an internal debate in Russia about not being overextended beyond what they can control and defend, such as what happened in 1989 with [[East Germany]] &amp;amp; the [[Warsaw Pact]], etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump's extension of [[Executive Order]] 13660 for another year means that the war will continue for another year, only without [[US]] assistance, and it remains to be seen what the &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot; European powers can bring to the table to continue more suffering and death. Alternatively, the US encouraging Europe to beef up its defense spending and take responsibility for itself is in line with Trump (and even Putin's) desire for a dissolution, or withdrawal, of the United States from [[NATO]].

::'''Update:''' Sources say Bryen is correct - back channel negotiations have been ongoing &amp;quot;for months&amp;quot; apparently at a [[Swiss]] hotel (since December?).

===Meetings between heads of state===&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings between [[heads of state]] are carefully crafted and carefully scripted. One off-script word by either party can throw the meeting into chaos (as just witnessed). At the [[Riyadh]] meeting last week, the US side was reported to have asked for a summit with Putin, and the Russian response was reported to be more time is needed for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1972 the Moscow Summit between [[Nixon]] &amp;amp; [[Brezhnev]] that ushered in the age of ''[[detente]]'' was nearly derailed at the last minute because of an off-the-cuff comment made by Brezhnev. As Nixon arrived in Moscow, a light mist was falling. As Nixon stepped off the plane Brezhnev greeted him with, &amp;quot;This is a mushroom rain&amp;quot;. When the off-script comment was translated, it was interpreted as a threat. What did Brezhnev mean by that? a mushroom cloud? [[nuclear war]]? [[nuclear winter]]? etc. The translators had to sort things out and play diplomat for a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Russia, like [[baseball]] in the [[United States]], mushroom hunting in the woods in the national pastime. It's a big weekend family event for city dwellers, complete with instruction guides, where and when to hunt for what type of mushrooms, etc. The translators had only minutes to explain this cultural phenomenon and idiom to American State Department and White House officials, and that nothing was implied by the off-hand remark, and hope it would be received well in [[good faith]] by the American side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But of course, when you have an undisciplined [[cocaine]] addict and [[popular culture]] figure like [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] representing your interests, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

🚨 &amp;quot;No Other Land&amp;quot; Exposed by Pro-Palestinian Activist 🚨&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is the text of a Facebook post published by Erez Ganor—an Israeli who claims to have worked for years to help Palestinians—about the Oscar-winning documentary &amp;quot;No Other Land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erez deleted this post after experiencing significant backlash from other pro-Palestinian activists. It's very long, so here are the most notable parts, in my opinion:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I just want to say that the film in question is a staged production made at the expense of the very residents whose outcry it claims to represent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is an opportunistic family [referring to co-writer &amp;amp; co-director Basel Adra] that has made a name for itself at the expense of the residents of the village of Al-Tuwani.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Upon thorough investigation, it turned out they were receiving donations and selling them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat).&lt;br /&gt;
Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census.&lt;br /&gt;
It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox.&lt;br /&gt;
The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as &amp;quot;The Moscovia,&amp;quot; which still exists today.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community.&lt;br /&gt;
A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police.&lt;br /&gt;
This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

== Tariffs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have to say that when I voted for Trump, I had no idea that I was voting for across-the-board tariffs. What happened to the Keystone pipeline? This was a pipeline to bring in oil from Canada that Trump approved in his first term. Trump negotiated the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) free trade agreement in July 2020. Since returning to office, he has torn up that agreement without explanation. Biden raised tariffs more than Trump did in his first term. Yeah, Trump talked a lot about tariffs. They have always been an issue close to his heart. But I assumed he meant tariffs against China. Stocks are down by four percent since the start of the tariff whirlwind. The Trump's tariff &amp;quot;pause&amp;quot; has yet to lead to any recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not about money, but our national soul, as Trump put it in the State of the Union. If it's about our soul, how are we supposed to think about the trade agreements that Trump negotiated in his first term?

:Nearly 108,000 persons in the U.S. died from drug-involved overdose in 2022 and fentanyl is a big and growing problem in Canada that could be mitigated. But the liberal Trudeau and some of the liberal Canadian politicians have bad public policy. Maybe Trump is using the tariff thumbscrew to get concessions related to Canadian fentanyl. But maybe he just wants to bring factories back to the USA. Maybe he just doesn't like Trudeau and he enjoys tormenting him. Maybe it is all these reasons or a combination of some of them. With that being said, dissing Canada and calling it the 51st state hurts U.S. product/service sales to Canada. One last thing related to Canada is that they spend very little on defense and free ride off the USA so Trump may resent that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The USA does have a trade deficit and the USA has tolerated unfair trade practices in the past due to wanting to get alliances back in the Cold War days. But the Soviet Union is long gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Maybe reciprocal tariffs involves some short-term pain to get long-term benefits. The Chinese have a very low birthrate so the USA has to make a transition over time as far as not counting on the Chinese to manufacture things. Next, there is a danger of Trump using a tariff sledgehammer against China and there not being enough manufacturing capacity to replace them should their economy be badly damaged. China already has big economic problems so taking more pieces out of their Jenga economy could have some unintended consequences that are deleterious to the USA.

:::Dianne3000, I just did the math. There is a trade deficit of $984 billion per annum for the USA. There are about 325 million Americans. So that is about $2,000 a year per American as far as the trade deficit. The USA has 4 times the labor productivity of China overall. A study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found that manufacturing workers earn 13% more in hourly compensation than comparable workers in the rest of the private sector.[https://www.google.com/search?q=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;oq=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEJMjE5OTlqMGoxqAIAsAIA&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8] And then there is the labor rates of the various countries and the different specializations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::It's a complex issue. But at the end of the day, the USA should improve its educational system so people are better prepared. Also, there is a big housing shortage and there appears to be a shortage of tradesmen, but how much of the housing shortage will be fixed via deportations and the baby boomers dying off, I don't know.

::::::::::An explanation of purchasing power parity from Investopedia: &amp;quot;Purchasing power parity (PPP) is a popular macroeconomic analysis metric used to compare economic productivity and standards of living between countries. PPP involves an economic theory that compares different countries' currencies through a &amp;quot;basket of goods&amp;quot; approach. That is, PPP is the exchange rate at which one nation's currency would be converted into another to purchase the same and same amounts of a large group of products. According to this concept, two currencies are in equilibrium—their currencies are at par—when a basket of goods is priced the same in both countries, taking into account the exchange rates.&amp;quot;[https://www.investopedia.com/updates/purchasing-power-parity-ppp/] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 19:37, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

To give some idea of the intensity of the fighting: [[NATO]]/[[Ukraine]] has lost 58,000 in the [[NATO invasion of Kursk|Kursk invasion]] since November 4, 2024 (3 months) - more dead than the [[United States]] lost in 10 years of the [[Vietnam war]].

[https://www.commentary.org/seth-mandel/the-chilling-implications-of-hamass-suspension-of-hostage-releases/ Writer]: &lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|Throughout the period of the current cease-fire, Hamas has been systematically dismantling its own side’s propaganda. The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.&lt;br /&gt;
Then on Saturday''' Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand'''. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.&lt;br /&gt;
Every claim made against Israel was projection. Hamas had been doing all the things it accused Israel of, accusations that the media gleefully echoed like pet-shop parrots.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''The three men had lost half their body weight. They were starved. Hung up by their legs. Chained. One only walked for the first time on the day he was released. He had to learn how to use his feet again. They were strangled, beaten, burned. The hostages were supposed to be the terrorist’s grand plan, their prize assets. Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation. In a way they could not ignore. Though some still are determined to look away and continue the narrative of victimhood. It is becoming more difficult with every abused innocent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps.''' We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.&lt;br /&gt;

Israel: Hamas a ‘death cult that murders, tortures, parades dead bodies’.&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization &amp;quot;has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,&amp;quot; government spokesman David Mencer said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Feb. 20, 2025 / JNS)&lt;br /&gt;
An Israeli government spokesman slammed Hamas as a “death cult” after it paraded the coffins containing the remains of four civilian hostages, including those of a baby and a child, during a propaganda stage show in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip, on Thursday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hamas is not a resistance movement. Hamas is a death cult that murders, that tortures and parades dead bodies,” government spokesman David Mencer told journalists during a press briefing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization “has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the bodies has been identified as belonging to hostage Oded Lifshitz, his family confirmed on Thursday afternoon after identification at the National Center of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other remains handed over by the Palestinian terror organization were said to be those of Shiri Bibas (32 when captured on Oct. 7, 2023) and her sons, Ariel (4 when taken) and Kfir (9 months old when taken).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four bodies were transferred to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross after the propaganda ceremony attended by members of Hamas’s “military wing,” Gaza civilians and terrorists released under the auspices of previous prisoner swaps.&lt;br /&gt;

==Germany - understanding the difference between the American and parliamentary systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's take this opportunity to understand the difference between the American and parliamentary systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the [[Electoral College]], the [[constitutional]] requirement of a 51% majority to elect a [[head of government]], that has turned the [[United States]] into a &amp;quot;two party system&amp;quot;. Parliamentary systems often have 3 or 5, or even more &amp;quot;major parties&amp;quot;, with rarely any of them having 51% majority. Hence they often have to forge &amp;quot;[[coalition]]&amp;quot; governments, with the leader of the party with a [[plurality]] becoming [[prime minister]] and offering important cabinet posts to their junior coalition partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example in [[Germany]], the alleged &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; [[Christian Democratic Union]] ruled for 16 years under [[Merkel]] until it was voted out a few years ago in favor of the Socialist, Green, and Free Democrat coalition. It was just voted back in with 29%, but refuses to form a coalition with the &amp;quot;far right&amp;quot; [[AfD]]. So it goes from being &amp;quot;opposition&amp;quot; to the [[Social Democrat]]s to being a coalition partner now along with the &amp;quot;far left&amp;quot; [[Green Party]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IOWs, despite gains by the [[conservative]] AfD - which individually is larger than the Socialists or Greens, the [[leftwing]] Socialists &amp;amp; Greens remain in the governing coalition along with the so-called &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; Christian Democrats. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:51, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, despite 50%+ of Germans voting &amp;quot;right wing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot;, the conservatives did not &amp;quot;win&amp;quot;, and the extreme [[leftist]] [[Socialist]]s &amp;amp; [[Greens]] remain in power. The same thing happened in [[Sweden]] a few years ago, and will continue to happen throughout Europe to all &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; &amp;quot;rightwing&amp;quot; parties. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 18:20, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;The man poised to be the next chancellor of Germany is Friedrich Merz, of the conservative Christian Democratic Union.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If any of that were true, there would be no AfD. It was the Christian Democratic Union that opened the floodgates on immigration, was voted out for it, and the Socialists and Greens just lost their status as leaders of the coalition for not stopping it. [https://youtu.be/ylxaKuhO_14?t=318 Merz has already vowed not] to allow the conservative populist, reformist, and &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; AfD - most of which came from the CDU - into the government.&lt;br /&gt;

We certainly have '''an order of magnitude''' – I want to emphasize this – an order of magnitude '''more resources of this kind than in Ukraine.

For example, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, back in Soviet times, there were plans to build a new hydroelectric power station and create additional [[aluminum]] production facilities. After all, aluminum is, first of all, energy, and preferably cheap energy. Hydroelectric power is cheap, and among other things, it is also environmentally friendly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is why, I repeat, there are such plans since the Soviet era, but these are [[capital]]-intensive, investment-intensive projects: according to preliminary estimates, it cost or will cost about '''$15 billion''' at today's prices. We can think about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the policy of the '''current President today''' is to place production on the territory of the United States. But if American companies work for us, this is also a benefit, and a considerable one, because both companies will earn decent money, and the corresponding volumes of aluminum will be supplied to the domestic market at absolutely acceptable market prices. There is much to think about here, as well as joint work on rare and '''rare-earth metals''', and in other areas, including, for example, energy.

===&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot; is a word we've heard now several times in public forums from [[Vladimir Putin]] in reference to the [[United States]] and the [[Trump administration]] in the past week. This gives credence to the theories propounded by [[Stephen Bryen]]:&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/russia-us-peace-deal-on-ukraine-at Russia-US Peace Deal on Ukraine at an Advanced Stage] Zelensky will be asked to Cooperate&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/the-shoot-out-at-the-white-house The Shoot Out at the White House and some guesses about what happens next].&lt;br /&gt;
We have not heard the word &amp;quot;partners&amp;quot; in reference to the US or Europe from Putin or [[Lavrov]] since Feb 2022, replaced with terms like &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Partner&amp;quot; has been reserved for [[Belarus]] and others. We've yet to hear &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; being used  for [[European]] powers, [[Germany]], [[France]], [[UK]]. etc. of late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term generally means &amp;quot;negotiating partner&amp;quot;, where the parties have agreed on certain ground rules and objectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bryen alleges that there is a behind-the-scenes back channel that is far ahead of what is publicly known and reported. The fact that [[Keith Kellogg]], [[Waltz]] and [[Rubio]] appear cut out, and [[Middle East]] envoy [[Witkoff]] has appeared in the [[Kremlin]] is more evidence of Bryen's theory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ukraine]] and the [[Zelensky regime]] have been cut off by the Trump administration. The only question I can determine unresolved is, does this mean the port city of [[Odessa]] is also included in Russia's territorial demands, and a Ukrainian rump state will be landlocked?

Trump's extension of [[Executive Order]] 13660 for another year means that the war will continue for another year, only without [[US]] assistance, and it remains to be seen what the &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot; European powers can bring to the table to continue more suffering and death. Alternatively, the US encouraging Europe to beef up its defense spending and take responsibility for itself is in line with Trump (and even Putin's) desire for a dissolution, or withdrawal, of the United States from [[NATO]].

===Meetings between heads of state===&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings between [[heads of state]] are carefully crafted and carefully scripted. One off-script word by either party can throw the meeting into chaos (as just witnessed). At the [[Riyadh]] meeting last week, the US side was reported to have asked for a summit with Putin, and the Russian response was reported to be more time is needed for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1972 the Moscow Summit between [[Nixon]] &amp;amp; [[Brezhnev]] that ushered in the age of ''[[detente]]'' was nearly derailed at the last minute because of an off-the-cuff comment made by Brezhnev. As Nixon arrived in Moscow, a light mist was falling. As Nixon stepped off the plane Brezhnev greeted him with, &amp;quot;This is a mushroom rain&amp;quot;. When the off-script comment was translated, it was interpreted as a threat. What did Brezhnev mean by that? a mushroom cloud? [[nuclear war]]? [[nuclear winter]]? etc. The translators had to sort things out and play diplomat for a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Russia, like [[baseball]] in the [[United States]], mushroom hunting in the woods in the national pastime. It's a big weekend family event for city dwellers, complete with instruction guides, where and when to hunt for what type of mushrooms, etc. The translators had only minutes to explain this cultural phenomenon and idiom to American State Department and White House officials, and that nothing was implied by the off-hand remark, and hope it would be received well in [[good faith]] by the American side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But of course, when you have an undisciplined [[cocaine]] addict and [[popular culture]] figure like [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] representing your interests, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

🚨 &amp;quot;No Other Land&amp;quot; Exposed by Pro-Palestinian Activist 🚨&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is the text of a Facebook post published by Erez Ganor—an Israeli who claims to have worked for years to help Palestinians—about the Oscar-winning documentary &amp;quot;No Other Land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erez deleted this post after experiencing significant backlash from other pro-Palestinian activists. It's very long, so here are the most notable parts, in my opinion:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I just want to say that the film in question is a staged production made at the expense of the very residents whose outcry it claims to represent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is an opportunistic family [referring to co-writer &amp;amp; co-director Basel Adra] that has made a name for itself at the expense of the residents of the village of Al-Tuwani.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Upon thorough investigation, it turned out they were receiving donations and selling them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat).&lt;br /&gt;
Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census.&lt;br /&gt;
It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox.&lt;br /&gt;
The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as &amp;quot;The Moscovia,&amp;quot; which still exists today.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community.&lt;br /&gt;
A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police.&lt;br /&gt;
This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

== Tariffs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have to say that when I voted for Trump, I had no idea that I was voting for across-the-board tariffs. What happened to the Keystone pipeline? This was a pipeline to bring in oil from Canada that Trump approved in his first term. Trump negotiated the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) free trade agreement in July 2020. Since returning to office, he has torn up that agreement without explanation. Biden raised tariffs more than Trump did in his first term. Yeah, Trump talked a lot about tariffs. They have always been an issue close to his heart. But I assumed he meant tariffs against China. Stocks are down by four percent since the start of the tariff whirlwind. The Trump's tariff &amp;quot;pause&amp;quot; has yet to lead to any recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not about money, but our national soul, as Trump put it in the State of the Union. If it's about our soul, how are we supposed to think about the trade agreements that Trump negotiated in his first term?

:Nearly 108,000 persons in the U.S. died from drug-involved overdose in 2022 and fentanyl is a big and growing problem in Canada that could be mitigated. But the liberal Trudeau and some of the liberal Canadian politicians have bad public policy. Maybe Trump is using the tariff thumbscrew to get concessions related to Canadian fentanyl. But maybe he just wants to bring factories back to the USA. Maybe he just doesn't like Trudeau and he enjoys tormenting him. Maybe it is all these reasons or a combination of some of them. With that being said, dissing Canada and calling it the 51st state hurts U.S. product/service sales to Canada. One last thing related to Canada is that they spend very little on defense and free ride off the USA so Trump may resent that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The USA does have a trade deficit and the USA has tolerated unfair trade practices in the past due to wanting to get alliances back in the Cold War days. But the Soviet Union is long gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Maybe reciprocal tariffs involves some short-term pain to get long-term benefits. The Chinese have a very low birthrate so the USA has to make a transition over time as far as not counting on the Chinese to manufacture things. Next, there is a danger of Trump using a tariff sledgehammer against China and there not being enough manufacturing capacity to replace them should their economy be badly damaged. China already has big economic problems so taking more pieces out of their Jenga economy could have some unintended consequences that are deleterious to the USA.

:::Dianne3000, I just did the math. There is a trade deficit of $984 billion per annum for the USA. There are about 325 million Americans. So that is about $2,000 a year per American as far as the trade deficit. The USA has 4 times the labor productivity of China overall. A study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found that manufacturing workers earn 13% more in hourly compensation than comparable workers in the rest of the private sector.[https://www.google.com/search?q=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;oq=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEJMjE5OTlqMGoxqAIAsAIA&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8] And then there is the labor rates of the various countries and the different specializations. &lt;br /&gt;

:::It's a complex issue. But at the end of the day, the USA should improve its educational system so people are better prepared.

That is, PPP is the exchange rate at which one nation's currency would be converted into another to purchase the same and same amounts of a large group of products.

&lt;br /&gt;
''I looked at hostages that came in. They're emaciated. It looked like something from the 1930s. It's an absolute disgrace. I think they saw as the world viewed it, and they're looking for a reason not to send more. They're all...you look at it.. it looks like it was a concentration camp, which essentially it was. It looks like it came out of the Holocaust. What a sad thing...''&lt;br /&gt;

''Those people have been badly hurt, both mentally and physically,  I'm talking about the young women also that came out previously.''&lt;br /&gt;

[https://www.commentary.org/seth-mandel/the-chilling-implications-of-hamass-suspension-of-hostage-releases/ Writer]: &lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|Throughout the period of the current cease-fire, Hamas has been systematically dismantling its own side’s propaganda. The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.&lt;br /&gt;
Then on Saturday''' Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand'''. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.&lt;br /&gt;
Every claim made against Israel was projection. Hamas had been doing all the things it accused Israel of, accusations that the media gleefully echoed like pet-shop parrots.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''The three men had lost half their body weight. They were starved. Hung up by their legs. Chained. One only walked for the first time on the day he was released. He had to learn how to use his feet again. They were strangled, beaten, burned. The hostages were supposed to be the terrorist’s grand plan, their prize assets. Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation. In a way they could not ignore. Though some still are determined to look away and continue the narrative of victimhood. It is becoming more difficult with every abused innocent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps.''' We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.&lt;br /&gt;

Israel: Hamas a ‘death cult that murders, tortures, parades dead bodies’.&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization &amp;quot;has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,&amp;quot; government spokesman David Mencer said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Feb. 20, 2025 / JNS)&lt;br /&gt;
An Israeli government spokesman slammed Hamas as a “death cult” after it paraded the coffins containing the remains of four civilian hostages, including those of a baby and a child, during a propaganda stage show in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip, on Thursday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hamas is not a resistance movement. Hamas is a death cult that murders, that tortures and parades dead bodies,” government spokesman David Mencer told journalists during a press briefing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization “has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the bodies has been identified as belonging to hostage Oded Lifshitz, his family confirmed on Thursday afternoon after identification at the National Center of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other remains handed over by the Palestinian terror organization were said to be those of Shiri Bibas (32 when captured on Oct. 7, 2023) and her sons, Ariel (4 when taken) and Kfir (9 months old when taken).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four bodies were transferred to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross after the propaganda ceremony attended by members of Hamas’s “military wing,” Gaza civilians and terrorists released under the auspices of previous prisoner swaps.&lt;br /&gt;

==Germany - understanding the difference between the American and parliamentary systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's take this opportunity to understand the difference between the American and parliamentary systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the [[Electoral College]], the [[constitutional]] requirement of a 51% majority to elect a [[head of government]], that has turned the [[United States]] into a &amp;quot;two party system&amp;quot;. Parliamentary systems often have 3 or 5, or even more &amp;quot;major parties&amp;quot;, with rarely any of them having 51% majority. Hence they often have to forge &amp;quot;[[coalition]]&amp;quot; governments, with the leader of the party with a [[plurality]] becoming [[prime minister]] and offering important cabinet posts to their junior coalition partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example in [[Germany]], the alleged &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; [[Christian Democratic Union]] ruled for 16 years under [[Merkel]] until it was voted out a few years ago in favor of the Socialist, Green, and Free Democrat coalition. It was just voted back in with 29%, but refuses to form a coalition with the &amp;quot;far right&amp;quot; [[AfD]]. So it goes from being &amp;quot;opposition&amp;quot; to the [[Social Democrat]]s to being a coalition partner now along with the &amp;quot;far left&amp;quot; [[Green Party]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IOWs, despite gains by the [[conservative]] AfD - which individually is larger than the Socialists or Greens, the [[leftwing]] Socialists &amp;amp; Greens remain in the governing coalition along with the so-called &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; Christian Democrats. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:51, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, despite 50%+ of Germans voting &amp;quot;right wing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot;, the conservatives did not &amp;quot;win&amp;quot;, and the extreme [[leftist]] [[Socialist]]s &amp;amp; [[Greens]] remain in power. The same thing happened in [[Sweden]] a few years ago, and will continue to happen throughout Europe to all &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; &amp;quot;rightwing&amp;quot; parties. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 18:20, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|Looks like the conservative party in Germany has won the very big and highly anticipated election. Much like the USA, the people of Germany got tired of the no common sense agenda, especially on energy and immigration, that has prevailed for so many years.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;The man poised to be the next chancellor of Germany is Friedrich Merz, of the conservative Christian Democratic Union.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If any of that were true, there would be no AfD. It was the Christian Democratic Union that opened the floodgates on immigration, was voted out for it, and the Socialists and Greens just lost their status as leaders of the coalition for not stopping it. [https://youtu.be/ylxaKuhO_14?t=318 Merz has already vowed not] to allow the conservative populist, reformist, and &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; AfD - most of which came from the CDU - into the government.&lt;br /&gt;

But this exchange highlights precisely the main takeaway—which is that the artificially constructed image of Zelensky is no longer useful, and has been tossed away like a used rag. All the false bravado and olive drab khakis—it all served a purpose for the past three years, with Zelensky built up like some kind of John Rambo-Churchill. The ‘sacred’ attire would have never been questioned before, because it represented the theater of it all, the carefully stage-managed production.

&lt;br /&gt;
We certainly have '''an order of magnitude''' – I want to emphasize this – an order of magnitude '''more resources of this kind than in Ukraine. Russia is one of the undisputed leaders in terms of reserves of these rare and rare-earth metals.'''...What is most important, in my opinion, is that '''we could think together with [[American]] companies about working together in this area.''' For example, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, back in Soviet times, there were plans to build a new hydroelectric power station and create additional [[aluminum]] production facilities. After all, aluminum is, first of all, energy, and preferably cheap energy. Hydroelectric power is cheap, and among other things, it is also environmentally friendly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is why, I repeat, there are such plans since the Soviet era, but these are [[capital]]-intensive, investment-intensive projects: according to preliminary estimates, it cost or will cost about '''$15 billion''' at today's prices. We can think about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the policy of the '''current President today''' is to place production on the territory of the United States. But if American companies work for us, this is also a benefit, and a considerable one, because both companies will earn decent money, and the corresponding volumes of aluminum will be supplied to the domestic market at absolutely acceptable market prices. There is much to think about here, as well as joint work on rare and '''rare-earth metals''', and in other areas, including, for example, energy.

===&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot; is a word we've heard now several times in public forums from [[Vladimir Putin]] in reference to the [[United States]] and the [[Trump administration]] in the past week. This gives credence to the theories propounded by [[Stephen Bryen]]:&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/russia-us-peace-deal-on-ukraine-at Russia-US Peace Deal on Ukraine at an Advanced Stage] Zelensky will be asked to Cooperate&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/the-shoot-out-at-the-white-house The Shoot Out at the White House and some guesses about what happens next].&lt;br /&gt;
We have not heard the word &amp;quot;partners&amp;quot; in reference to the US or Europe from Putin or [[Lavrov]] since Feb 2022, replaced with terms like &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Partner&amp;quot; has been reserved for [[Belarus]] and others. We've yet to hear &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; being used  for [[European]] powers, [[Germany]], [[France]], [[UK]]. etc. of late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term generally means &amp;quot;negotiating partner&amp;quot;, where the parties have agreed on certain ground rules and objectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bryen alleges that there is a behind-the-scenes back channel that is far ahead of what is publicly known and reported. The fact that [[Keith Kellogg]], [[Waltz]] and [[Rubio]] appear cut out, and [[Middle East]] envoy [[Witkoff]] has appeared in the [[Kremlin]] is more evidence of Bryen's theory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ukraine]] and the [[Zelensky regime]] have been cut off by the Trump administration. The only question I can determine unresolved is, does this mean the port city of [[Odessa]] is also included in Russia's territorial demands, and a Ukrainian rump state will be landlocked? (There is an internal debate in Russia about not being overextended beyond what they can control and defend, such as what happened in 1989 with [[East Germany]] &amp;amp; the [[Warsaw Pact]], etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump's extension of [[Executive Order]] 13660 for another year means that the war will continue for another year, only without [[US]] assistance, and it remains to be seen what the &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot; European powers can bring to the table to continue more suffering and death. Alternatively, the US encouraging Europe to beef up its defense spending and take responsibility for itself is in line with Trump (and even Putin's) desire for a dissolution, or withdrawal, of the United States from [[NATO]].

===Meetings between heads of state===&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings between [[heads of state]] are carefully crafted and carefully scripted. One off-script word by either party can throw the meeting into chaos (as just witnessed). At the [[Riyadh]] meeting last week, the US side was reported to have asked for a summit with Putin, and the Russian response was reported to be more time is needed for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1972 the Moscow Summit between [[Nixon]] &amp;amp; [[Brezhnev]] that ushered in the age of ''[[detente]]'' was nearly derailed at the last minute because of an off-the-cuff comment made by Brezhnev. As Nixon arrived in Moscow, a light mist was falling. As Nixon stepped off the plane Brezhnev greeted him with, &amp;quot;This is a mushroom rain&amp;quot;. When the off-script comment was translated, it was interpreted as a threat. What did Brezhnev mean by that? a mushroom cloud? [[nuclear war]]? [[nuclear winter]]? etc. The translators had to sort things out and play diplomat for a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Russia, like [[baseball]] in the [[United States]], mushroom hunting in the woods in the national pastime. It's a big weekend family event for city dwellers, complete with instruction guides, where and when to hunt for what type of mushrooms, etc. The translators had only minutes to explain this cultural phenomenon and idiom to American State Department and White House officials, and that nothing was implied by the off-hand remark, and hope it would be received well in [[good faith]] by the American side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But of course, when you have an undisciplined [[cocaine]] addict and [[popular culture]] figure like [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] representing your interests, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

🚨 &amp;quot;No Other Land&amp;quot; Exposed by Pro-Palestinian Activist 🚨&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is the text of a Facebook post published by Erez Ganor—an Israeli who claims to have worked for years to help Palestinians—about the Oscar-winning documentary &amp;quot;No Other Land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erez deleted this post after experiencing significant backlash from other pro-Palestinian activists. It's very long, so here are the most notable parts, in my opinion:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I just want to say that the film in question is a staged production made at the expense of the very residents whose outcry it claims to represent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is an opportunistic family [referring to co-writer &amp;amp; co-director Basel Adra] that has made a name for itself at the expense of the residents of the village of Al-Tuwani.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat).&lt;br /&gt;
Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census.&lt;br /&gt;
It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox.&lt;br /&gt;
The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as &amp;quot;The Moscovia,&amp;quot; which still exists today.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community.&lt;br /&gt;
A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police.&lt;br /&gt;
This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

:So the 1922 massacre occurred at the same time as the Armenian massacre. In a sense, we could say the Armenian massacre is misnomer, cause it didn't target just Armenians but rather non-Muslims.

== Tariffs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have to say that when I voted for Trump, I had no idea that I was voting for across-the-board tariffs. What happened to the Keystone pipeline? This was a pipeline to bring in oil from Canada that Trump approved in his first term. Trump negotiated the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) free trade agreement in July 2020. Since returning to office, he has torn up that agreement without explanation. Biden raised tariffs more than Trump did in his first term. Yeah, Trump talked a lot about tariffs. They have always been an issue close to his heart. But I assumed he meant tariffs against China. Stocks are down by four percent since the start of the tariff whirlwind. The Trump's tariff &amp;quot;pause&amp;quot; has yet to lead to any recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not about money, but our national soul, as Trump put it in the State of the Union. If it's about our soul, how are we supposed to think about the trade agreements that Trump negotiated in his first term? [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 03:49, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Nearly 108,000 persons in the U.S. died from drug-involved overdose in 2022 and fentanyl is a big and growing problem in Canada that could be mitigated. But the liberal Trudeau and some of the liberal Canadian politicians have bad public policy. Maybe Trump is using the tariff thumbscrew to get concessions related to Canadian fentanyl. But maybe he just wants to bring factories back to the USA. Maybe he just doesn't like Trudeau and he enjoys tormenting him. Maybe it is all these reasons or a combination of some of them. With that being said, dissing Canada and calling it the 51st state hurts U.S. product/service sales to Canada. One last thing related to Canada is that they spend very little on defense and free ride off the USA so Trump may resent that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The USA does have a trade deficit and the USA has tolerated unfair trade practices in the past due to wanting to get alliances back in the Cold War days. But the Soviet Union is long gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Maybe reciprocal tariffs involves some short-term pain to get long-term benefits. The Chinese have a very low birthrate so the USA has to make a transition over time as far as not counting on the Chinese to manufacture things. Next, there is a danger of Trump using a tariff sledgehammer against China and there not being enough manufacturing capacity to replace them should their economy be badly damaged. China already has big economic problems so taking more pieces out of their Jenga economy could have some unintended consequences that are deleterious to the USA.

:::Dianne3000, I just did the math. There is a trade deficit of $984 billion per annum for the USA. There are about 325 million Americans. So that is about $2,000 a year per American as far as the trade deficit. The USA has 4 times the labor productivity of China overall. A study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found that manufacturing workers earn 13% more in hourly compensation than comparable workers in the rest of the private sector.[https://www.google.com/search?q=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;oq=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEJMjE5OTlqMGoxqAIAsAIA&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8] And then there is the labor rates of the various countries and the different specializations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::It's a complex issue. But at the end of the day, the USA should improve its educational system so people are better prepared. Also, there is a big housing shortage and there appears to be a shortage of tradesmen, but how much of the housing shortage will be fixed via deportations and the baby boomers dying off, I don't know.

::::::::::An explanation of purchasing power parity from Investopedia: &amp;quot;Purchasing power parity (PPP) is a popular macroeconomic analysis metric used to compare economic productivity and standards of living between countries. PPP involves an economic theory that compares different countries' currencies through a &amp;quot;basket of goods&amp;quot; approach. That is, PPP is the exchange rate at which one nation's currency would be converted into another to purchase the same and same amounts of a large group of products. According to this concept, two currencies are in equilibrium—their currencies are at par—when a basket of goods is priced the same in both countries, taking into account the exchange rates.&amp;quot;[https://www.investopedia.com/updates/purchasing-power-parity-ppp/] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 19:37, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|Throughout the period of the current cease-fire, Hamas has been systematically dismantling its own side’s propaganda. The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.&lt;br /&gt;
Then on Saturday''' Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand'''. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.&lt;br /&gt;
Every claim made against Israel was projection. Hamas had been doing all the things it accused Israel of, accusations that the media gleefully echoed like pet-shop parrots.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''The three men had lost half their body weight. They were starved. Hung up by their legs. Chained. One only walked for the first time on the day he was released. He had to learn how to use his feet again. They were strangled, beaten, burned. The hostages were supposed to be the terrorist’s grand plan, their prize assets. Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation. In a way they could not ignore. Though some still are determined to look away and continue the narrative of victimhood. It is becoming more difficult with every abused innocent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps.''' We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.&lt;br /&gt;

“From the roof, I saw a horrifying sight that I still remember and that causes me nightmares, especially when I’m thinking of the terror organisations Isis and Hamas who are our neighbours,” he wrote. “I heard terrible screams and saw a woman crying her heart out and begging to get her baby back. But they kept playing with the baby like a ball. Then, one of the monsters took a knife, skewered the baby and handed him back to her.”[[User:Dianne3000|Dianne3000]] ([[User talk:Dianne3000|talk]]) 06:06, February 20, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;If the Gazans oppose Trump’s plan because it’s their land, then they are not refugees. You can’t be a refugee in your own home. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If it’s not their land and it’s an open air prison like they say, they should be happy to leave. &lt;br /&gt;

Whether it’s theirs or not, if I give you something and you abuse that thing and use it to cause me harm, well don’t be surprised if I take that thing back. &lt;br /&gt;

We gave them Gaza in 2005. All of it. Every last inch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They could have had their Palestinian state. They chose to turn it into hell and put whatever innocent people are left there (like the ones in the photo below. “Innocent” Gazans) in harm’s way. They abused what we gave them and now they will pay the price. &lt;br /&gt;

Israel: Hamas a ‘death cult that murders, tortures, parades dead bodies’.&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization &amp;quot;has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,&amp;quot; government spokesman David Mencer said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Feb. 20, 2025 / JNS)&lt;br /&gt;
An Israeli government spokesman slammed Hamas as a “death cult” after it paraded the coffins containing the remains of four civilian hostages, including those of a baby and a child, during a propaganda stage show in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip, on Thursday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hamas is not a resistance movement. Hamas is a death cult that murders, that tortures and parades dead bodies,” government spokesman David Mencer told journalists during a press briefing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization “has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the bodies has been identified as belonging to hostage Oded Lifshitz, his family confirmed on Thursday afternoon after identification at the National Center of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other remains handed over by the Palestinian terror organization were said to be those of Shiri Bibas (32 when captured on Oct. 7, 2023) and her sons, Ariel (4 when taken) and Kfir (9 months old when taken).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four bodies were transferred to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross after the propaganda ceremony attended by members of Hamas’s “military wing,” Gaza civilians and terrorists released under the auspices of previous prisoner swaps.&lt;br /&gt;

==Germany - understanding the difference between the American and parliamentary systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's take this opportunity to understand the difference between the American and parliamentary systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the [[Electoral College]], the [[constitutional]] requirement of a 51% majority to elect a [[head of government]], that has turned the [[United States]] into a &amp;quot;two party system&amp;quot;. Parliamentary systems often have 3 or 5, or even more &amp;quot;major parties&amp;quot;, with rarely any of them having 51% majority. Hence they often have to forge &amp;quot;[[coalition]]&amp;quot; governments, with the leader of the party with a [[plurality]] becoming [[prime minister]] and offering important cabinet posts to their junior coalition partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example in [[Germany]], the alleged &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; [[Christian Democratic Union]] ruled for 16 years under [[Merkel]] until it was voted out a few years ago in favor of the Socialist, Green, and Free Democrat coalition. It was just voted back in with 29%, but refuses to form a coalition with the &amp;quot;far right&amp;quot; [[AfD]]. So it goes from being &amp;quot;opposition&amp;quot; to the [[Social Democrat]]s to being a coalition partner now along with the &amp;quot;far left&amp;quot; [[Green Party]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IOWs, despite gains by the [[conservative]] AfD - which individually is larger than the Socialists or Greens, the [[leftwing]] Socialists &amp;amp; Greens remain in the governing coalition along with the so-called &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; Christian Democrats.

&lt;br /&gt;
In short, despite 50%+ of Germans voting &amp;quot;right wing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot;, the conservatives did not &amp;quot;win&amp;quot;, and the extreme [[leftist]] [[Socialist]]s &amp;amp; [[Greens]] remain in power.

Yes, the policy of the '''current President today''' is to place production on the territory of the United States. But if American companies work for us, this is also a benefit, and a considerable one, because both companies will earn decent money, and the corresponding volumes of aluminum will be supplied to the domestic market at absolutely acceptable market prices.

&lt;br /&gt;
===&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot; is a word we've heard now several times in public forums from [[Vladimir Putin]] in reference to the [[United States]] and the [[Trump administration]] in the past week. This gives credence to the theories propounded by [[Stephen Bryen]]:&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/russia-us-peace-deal-on-ukraine-at Russia-US Peace Deal on Ukraine at an Advanced Stage] Zelensky will be asked to Cooperate&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/the-shoot-out-at-the-white-house The Shoot Out at the White House and some guesses about what happens next].&lt;br /&gt;
We have not heard the word &amp;quot;partners&amp;quot; in reference to the US or Europe from Putin or [[Lavrov]] since Feb 2022, replaced with terms like &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Partner&amp;quot; has been reserved for [[Belarus]] and others. We've yet to hear &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; being used  for [[European]] powers, [[Germany]], [[France]], [[UK]]. etc. of late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term generally means &amp;quot;negotiating partner&amp;quot;, where the parties have agreed on certain ground rules and objectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bryen alleges that there is a behind-the-scenes back channel that is far ahead of what is publicly known and reported. The fact that [[Keith Kellogg]], [[Waltz]] and [[Rubio]] appear cut out, and [[Middle East]] envoy [[Witkoff]] has appeared in the [[Kremlin]] is more evidence of Bryen's theory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ukraine]] and the [[Zelensky regime]] have been cut off by the Trump administration. The only question I can determine unresolved is, does this mean the port city of [[Odessa]] is also included in Russia's territorial demands, and a Ukrainian rump state will be landlocked? (There is an internal debate in Russia about not being overextended beyond what they can control and defend, such as what happened in 1989 with [[East Germany]] &amp;amp; the [[Warsaw Pact]], etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump's extension of [[Executive Order]] 13660 for another year means that the war will continue for another year, only without [[US]] assistance, and it remains to be seen what the &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot; European powers can bring to the table to continue more suffering and death. Alternatively, the US encouraging Europe to beef up its defense spending and take responsibility for itself is in line with Trump (and even Putin's) desire for a dissolution, or withdrawal, of the United States from [[NATO]].

::'''Update:''' Sources say Bryen is correct - back channel negotiations have been ongoing &amp;quot;for months&amp;quot; apparently at a [[Swiss]] hotel (since December?).

===Meetings between heads of state===&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings between [[heads of state]] are carefully crafted and carefully scripted. One off-script word by either party can throw the meeting into chaos (as just witnessed). At the [[Riyadh]] meeting last week, the US side was reported to have asked for a summit with Putin, and the Russian response was reported to be more time is needed for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1972 the Moscow Summit between [[Nixon]] &amp;amp; [[Brezhnev]] that ushered in the age of ''[[detente]]'' was nearly derailed at the last minute because of an off-the-cuff comment made by Brezhnev. As Nixon arrived in Moscow, a light mist was falling. As Nixon stepped off the plane Brezhnev greeted him with, &amp;quot;This is a mushroom rain&amp;quot;. When the off-script comment was translated, it was interpreted as a threat. What did Brezhnev mean by that? a mushroom cloud? [[nuclear war]]? [[nuclear winter]]? etc. The translators had to sort things out and play diplomat for a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Russia, like [[baseball]] in the [[United States]], mushroom hunting in the woods in the national pastime. It's a big weekend family event for city dwellers, complete with instruction guides, where and when to hunt for what type of mushrooms, etc. The translators had only minutes to explain this cultural phenomenon and idiom to American State Department and White House officials, and that nothing was implied by the off-hand remark, and hope it would be received well in [[good faith]] by the American side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But of course, when you have an undisciplined [[cocaine]] addict and [[popular culture]] figure like [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] representing your interests, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

🚨 &amp;quot;No Other Land&amp;quot; Exposed by Pro-Palestinian Activist 🚨&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is the text of a Facebook post published by Erez Ganor—an Israeli who claims to have worked for years to help Palestinians—about the Oscar-winning documentary &amp;quot;No Other Land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erez deleted this post after experiencing significant backlash from other pro-Palestinian activists. It's very long, so here are the most notable parts, in my opinion:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I just want to say that the film in question is a staged production made at the expense of the very residents whose outcry it claims to represent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is an opportunistic family [referring to co-writer &amp;amp; co-director Basel Adra] that has made a name for itself at the expense of the residents of the village of Al-Tuwani.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Upon thorough investigation, it turned out they were receiving donations and selling them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat).&lt;br /&gt;
Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census.&lt;br /&gt;
It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox.&lt;br /&gt;
The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as &amp;quot;The Moscovia,&amp;quot; which still exists today.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community.&lt;br /&gt;
A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police.&lt;br /&gt;
This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

== Tariffs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have to say that when I voted for Trump, I had no idea that I was voting for across-the-board tariffs. What happened to the Keystone pipeline? This was a pipeline to bring in oil from Canada that Trump approved in his first term. Trump negotiated the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) free trade agreement in July 2020. Since returning to office, he has torn up that agreement without explanation. Biden raised tariffs more than Trump did in his first term. Yeah, Trump talked a lot about tariffs. They have always been an issue close to his heart. But I assumed he meant tariffs against China. Stocks are down by four percent since the start of the tariff whirlwind. The Trump's tariff &amp;quot;pause&amp;quot; has yet to lead to any recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not about money, but our national soul, as Trump put it in the State of the Union. If it's about our soul, how are we supposed to think about the trade agreements that Trump negotiated in his first term? [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 03:49, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Nearly 108,000 persons in the U.S. died from drug-involved overdose in 2022 and fentanyl is a big and growing problem in Canada that could be mitigated. But the liberal Trudeau and some of the liberal Canadian politicians have bad public policy. Maybe Trump is using the tariff thumbscrew to get concessions related to Canadian fentanyl. But maybe he just wants to bring factories back to the USA. Maybe he just doesn't like Trudeau and he enjoys tormenting him. Maybe it is all these reasons or a combination of some of them. With that being said, dissing Canada and calling it the 51st state hurts U.S. product/service sales to Canada. One last thing related to Canada is that they spend very little on defense and free ride off the USA so Trump may resent that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The USA does have a trade deficit and the USA has tolerated unfair trade practices in the past due to wanting to get alliances back in the Cold War days. But the Soviet Union is long gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Maybe reciprocal tariffs involves some short-term pain to get long-term benefits. The Chinese have a very low birthrate so the USA has to make a transition over time as far as not counting on the Chinese to manufacture things. Next, there is a danger of Trump using a tariff sledgehammer against China and there not being enough manufacturing capacity to replace them should their economy be badly damaged. China already has big economic problems so taking more pieces out of their Jenga economy could have some unintended consequences that are deleterious to the USA.

:::Dianne3000, I just did the math. There is a trade deficit of $984 billion per annum for the USA. There are about 325 million Americans. So that is about $2,000 a year per American as far as the trade deficit. The USA has 4 times the labor productivity of China overall. A study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found that manufacturing workers earn 13% more in hourly compensation than comparable workers in the rest of the private sector.[https://www.google.com/search?q=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;oq=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEJMjE5OTlqMGoxqAIAsAIA&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8] And then there is the labor rates of the various countries and the different specializations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::It's a complex issue. But at the end of the day, the USA should improve its educational system so people are better prepared.

&lt;br /&gt;
::::::::::An explanation of purchasing power parity from Investopedia: &amp;quot;Purchasing power parity (PPP) is a popular macroeconomic analysis metric used to compare economic productivity and standards of living between countries. PPP involves an economic theory that compares different countries' currencies through a &amp;quot;basket of goods&amp;quot; approach. That is, PPP is the exchange rate at which one nation's currency would be converted into another to purchase the same and same amounts of a large group of products. According to this concept, two currencies are in equilibrium—their currencies are at par—when a basket of goods is priced the same in both countries, taking into account the exchange rates.&amp;quot;[https://www.investopedia.com/updates/purchasing-power-parity-ppp/] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 19:37, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

:::::::::::Deeper dive: Inflating the global reserve currency is called &amp;quot;[[weaponizing the dollar]]&amp;quot;. Let's take [[User:Conservative]]'s &amp;quot;basket of goods&amp;quot; approach and understand what it really means vis-a-vis the rest of the world's trade with the [[United States]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::::::::::Examples: [[China]] exports manufactured goods to the US, or Venezuelan oil imports. This &amp;quot;basket of goods&amp;quot; consists of consumer products in exchange for paper IOUs (dollars). [https://youtu.be/XXPKci5nFXw &amp;quot;More inflation. It's a great asset.

===not to open another unending stupid argument...===&lt;br /&gt;
but &amp;quot;the USA has 4 times the labor productivity of China overall&amp;quot;. These number are meaningless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The United States, through [[deficit spending]], controls the printing press by which these &amp;quot;dollar&amp;quot; figures are calculated. China (and the [[EU]], [[Russia]], and the [[Global South]]) does not. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you look at our [[MAGAnomics]] article, the [[trade deficit]] was $875 billion in Trump's First Term. What accounts for $100 billion ''added'' in [[Biden]]'s four years? Productivity gains? No. [[Inflation]]. Which is why Trump &amp;amp; [[Musk]] created [[DOGE]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Conservative]]'s ceaseless repetition of skewed numbers is pro-[[inflation]] rhetoric.   [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 19:09, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

To give some idea of the intensity of the fighting: [[NATO]]/[[Ukraine]] has lost 58,000 in the [[NATO invasion of Kursk|Kursk invasion]] since November 4, 2024 (3 months) - more dead than the [[United States]] lost in 10 years of the [[Vietnam war]].

[https://www.commentary.org/seth-mandel/the-chilling-implications-of-hamass-suspension-of-hostage-releases/ Writer]: &lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|Throughout the period of the current cease-fire, Hamas has been systematically dismantling its own side’s propaganda. The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.&lt;br /&gt;
Then on Saturday''' Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand'''. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.&lt;br /&gt;
Every claim made against Israel was projection. Hamas had been doing all the things it accused Israel of, accusations that the media gleefully echoed like pet-shop parrots.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''The three men had lost half their body weight. They were starved. Hung up by their legs. Chained. One only walked for the first time on the day he was released. He had to learn how to use his feet again. They were strangled, beaten, burned. The hostages were supposed to be the terrorist’s grand plan, their prize assets. Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation. In a way they could not ignore. Though some still are determined to look away and continue the narrative of victimhood. It is becoming more difficult with every abused innocent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps.''' We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.&lt;br /&gt;

Israel: Hamas a ‘death cult that murders, tortures, parades dead bodies’.&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization &amp;quot;has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,&amp;quot; government spokesman David Mencer said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Feb. 20, 2025 / JNS)&lt;br /&gt;
An Israeli government spokesman slammed Hamas as a “death cult” after it paraded the coffins containing the remains of four civilian hostages, including those of a baby and a child, during a propaganda stage show in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip, on Thursday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hamas is not a resistance movement. Hamas is a death cult that murders, that tortures and parades dead bodies,” government spokesman David Mencer told journalists during a press briefing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization “has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the bodies has been identified as belonging to hostage Oded Lifshitz, his family confirmed on Thursday afternoon after identification at the National Center of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other remains handed over by the Palestinian terror organization were said to be those of Shiri Bibas (32 when captured on Oct. 7, 2023) and her sons, Ariel (4 when taken) and Kfir (9 months old when taken).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four bodies were transferred to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross after the propaganda ceremony attended by members of Hamas’s “military wing,” Gaza civilians and terrorists released under the auspices of previous prisoner swaps.&lt;br /&gt;

==Germany - understanding the difference between the American and parliamentary systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's take this opportunity to understand the difference between the American and parliamentary systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the [[Electoral College]], the [[constitutional]] requirement of a 51% majority to elect a [[head of government]], that has turned the [[United States]] into a &amp;quot;two party system&amp;quot;. Parliamentary systems often have 3 or 5, or even more &amp;quot;major parties&amp;quot;, with rarely any of them having 51% majority. Hence they often have to forge &amp;quot;[[coalition]]&amp;quot; governments, with the leader of the party with a [[plurality]] becoming [[prime minister]] and offering important cabinet posts to their junior coalition partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example in [[Germany]], the alleged &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; [[Christian Democratic Union]] ruled for 16 years under [[Merkel]] until it was voted out a few years ago in favor of the Socialist, Green, and Free Democrat coalition. It was just voted back in with 29%, but refuses to form a coalition with the &amp;quot;far right&amp;quot; [[AfD]]. So it goes from being &amp;quot;opposition&amp;quot; to the [[Social Democrat]]s to being a coalition partner now along with the &amp;quot;far left&amp;quot; [[Green Party]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IOWs, despite gains by the [[conservative]] AfD - which individually is larger than the Socialists or Greens, the [[leftwing]] Socialists &amp;amp; Greens remain in the governing coalition along with the so-called &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; Christian Democrats. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:51, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, despite 50%+ of Germans voting &amp;quot;right wing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot;, the conservatives did not &amp;quot;win&amp;quot;, and the extreme [[leftist]] [[Socialist]]s &amp;amp; [[Greens]] remain in power. The same thing happened in [[Sweden]] a few years ago, and will continue to happen throughout Europe to all &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; &amp;quot;rightwing&amp;quot; parties. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 18:20, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|Looks like the conservative party in Germany has won the very big and highly anticipated election. Much like the USA, the people of Germany got tired of the no common sense agenda, especially on energy and immigration, that has prevailed for so many years.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;The man poised to be the next chancellor of Germany is Friedrich Merz, of the conservative Christian Democratic Union.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If any of that were true, there would be no AfD. It was the Christian Democratic Union that opened the floodgates on immigration, was voted out for it, and the Socialists and Greens just lost their status as leaders of the coalition for not stopping it. [https://youtu.be/ylxaKuhO_14?t=318 Merz has already vowed not] to allow the conservative populist, reformist, and &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; AfD - most of which came from the CDU - into the government.&lt;br /&gt;

We certainly have '''an order of magnitude''' – I want to emphasize this – an order of magnitude '''more resources of this kind than in Ukraine. Russia is one of the undisputed leaders in terms of reserves of these rare and rare-earth metals.'''...What is most important, in my opinion, is that '''we could think together with [[American]] companies about working together in this area.''' For example, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, back in Soviet times, there were plans to build a new hydroelectric power station and create additional [[aluminum]] production facilities. After all, aluminum is, first of all, energy, and preferably cheap energy. Hydroelectric power is cheap, and among other things, it is also environmentally friendly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is why, I repeat, there are such plans since the Soviet era, but these are [[capital]]-intensive, investment-intensive projects: according to preliminary estimates, it cost or will cost about '''$15 billion''' at today's prices. We can think about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the policy of the '''current President today''' is to place production on the territory of the United States. But if American companies work for us, this is also a benefit, and a considerable one, because both companies will earn decent money, and the corresponding volumes of aluminum will be supplied to the domestic market at absolutely acceptable market prices. There is much to think about here, as well as joint work on rare and '''rare-earth metals''', and in other areas, including, for example, energy.

:You see this in their prisoner interrogation interviews.

===&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot; is a word we've heard now several times in public forums from [[Vladimir Putin]] in reference to the [[United States]] and the [[Trump administration]] in the past week. This gives credence to the theories propounded by [[Stephen Bryen]]:&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/russia-us-peace-deal-on-ukraine-at Russia-US Peace Deal on Ukraine at an Advanced Stage] Zelensky will be asked to Cooperate&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/the-shoot-out-at-the-white-house The Shoot Out at the White House and some guesses about what happens next].&lt;br /&gt;
We have not heard the word &amp;quot;partners&amp;quot; in reference to the US or Europe from Putin or [[Lavrov]] since Feb 2022, replaced with terms like &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Partner&amp;quot; has been reserved for [[Belarus]] and others. We've yet to hear &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; being used  for [[European]] powers, [[Germany]], [[France]], [[UK]]. etc. of late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term generally means &amp;quot;negotiating partner&amp;quot;, where the parties have agreed on certain ground rules and objectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bryen alleges that there is a behind-the-scenes back channel that is far ahead of what is publicly known and reported. The fact that [[Keith Kellogg]], [[Waltz]] and [[Rubio]] appear cut out, and [[Middle East]] envoy [[Witkoff]] has appeared in the [[Kremlin]] is more evidence of Bryen's theory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ukraine]] and the [[Zelensky regime]] have been cut off by the Trump administration. The only question I can determine unresolved is, does this mean the port city of [[Odessa]] is also included in Russia's territorial demands, and a Ukrainian rump state will be landlocked? (There is an internal debate in Russia about not being overextended beyond what they can control and defend, such as what happened in 1989 with [[East Germany]] &amp;amp; the [[Warsaw Pact]], etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump's extension of [[Executive Order]] 13660 for another year means that the war will continue for another year, only without [[US]] assistance, and it remains to be seen what the &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot; European powers can bring to the table to continue more suffering and death. Alternatively, the US encouraging Europe to beef up its defense spending and take responsibility for itself is in line with Trump (and even Putin's) desire for a dissolution, or withdrawal, of the United States from [[NATO]].

&lt;br /&gt;
===Meetings between heads of state===&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings between [[heads of state]] are carefully crafted and carefully scripted. One off-script word by either party can throw the meeting into chaos (as just witnessed). At the [[Riyadh]] meeting last week, the US side was reported to have asked for a summit with Putin, and the Russian response was reported to be more time is needed for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1972 the Moscow Summit between [[Nixon]] &amp;amp; [[Brezhnev]] that ushered in the age of ''[[detente]]'' was nearly derailed at the last minute because of an off-the-cuff comment made by Brezhnev. As Nixon arrived in Moscow, a light mist was falling. As Nixon stepped off the plane Brezhnev greeted him with, &amp;quot;This is a mushroom rain&amp;quot;. When the off-script comment was translated, it was interpreted as a threat. What did Brezhnev mean by that? a mushroom cloud? [[nuclear war]]? [[nuclear winter]]? etc. The translators had to sort things out and play diplomat for a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Russia, like [[baseball]] in the [[United States]], mushroom hunting in the woods in the national pastime. It's a big weekend family event for city dwellers, complete with instruction guides, where and when to hunt for what type of mushrooms, etc. The translators had only minutes to explain this cultural phenomenon and idiom to American State Department and White House officials, and that nothing was implied by the off-hand remark, and hope it would be received well in [[good faith]] by the American side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But of course, when you have an undisciplined [[cocaine]] addict and [[popular culture]] figure like [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] representing your interests, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

🔸 &amp;quot;The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Upon thorough investigation, it turned out they were receiving donations and selling them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat).&lt;br /&gt;
Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census.&lt;br /&gt;
It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox.&lt;br /&gt;
The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as &amp;quot;The Moscovia,&amp;quot; which still exists today.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community.&lt;br /&gt;
A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police.&lt;br /&gt;
This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

:So the 1922 massacre occurred at the same time as the Armenian massacre. In a sense, we could say the Armenian massacre is misnomer, cause it didn't target just Armenians but rather non-Muslims.

== Tariffs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have to say that when I voted for Trump, I had no idea that I was voting for across-the-board tariffs. What happened to the Keystone pipeline? This was a pipeline to bring in oil from Canada that Trump approved in his first term. Trump negotiated the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) free trade agreement in July 2020. Since returning to office, he has torn up that agreement without explanation. Biden raised tariffs more than Trump did in his first term. Yeah, Trump talked a lot about tariffs. They have always been an issue close to his heart. But I assumed he meant tariffs against China. Stocks are down by four percent since the start of the tariff whirlwind. The Trump's tariff &amp;quot;pause&amp;quot; has yet to lead to any recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not about money, but our national soul, as Trump put it in the State of the Union. If it's about our soul, how are we supposed to think about the trade agreements that Trump negotiated in his first term? [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 03:49, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Nearly 108,000 persons in the U.S. died from drug-involved overdose in 2022 and fentanyl is a big and growing problem in Canada that could be mitigated. But the liberal Trudeau and some of the liberal Canadian politicians have bad public policy. Maybe Trump is using the tariff thumbscrew to get concessions related to Canadian fentanyl. But maybe he just wants to bring factories back to the USA. Maybe he just doesn't like Trudeau and he enjoys tormenting him. Maybe it is all these reasons or a combination of some of them. With that being said, dissing Canada and calling it the 51st state hurts U.S. product/service sales to Canada. One last thing related to Canada is that they spend very little on defense and free ride off the USA so Trump may resent that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The USA does have a trade deficit and the USA has tolerated unfair trade practices in the past due to wanting to get alliances back in the Cold War days. But the Soviet Union is long gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Maybe reciprocal tariffs involves some short-term pain to get long-term benefits. The Chinese have a very low birthrate so the USA has to make a transition over time as far as not counting on the Chinese to manufacture things. Next, there is a danger of Trump using a tariff sledgehammer against China and there not being enough manufacturing capacity to replace them should their economy be badly damaged. China already has big economic problems so taking more pieces out of their Jenga economy could have some unintended consequences that are deleterious to the USA.

:::Dianne3000, I just did the math. There is a trade deficit of $984 billion per annum for the USA. There are about 325 million Americans. So that is about $2,000 a year per American as far as the trade deficit. The USA has 4 times the labor productivity of China overall. A study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found that manufacturing workers earn 13% more in hourly compensation than comparable workers in the rest of the private sector.[https://www.google.com/search?q=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;oq=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEJMjE5OTlqMGoxqAIAsAIA&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8] And then there is the labor rates of the various countries and the different specializations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::It's a complex issue. But at the end of the day, the USA should improve its educational system so people are better prepared. Also, there is a big housing shortage and there appears to be a shortage of tradesmen, but how much of the housing shortage will be fixed via deportations and the baby boomers dying off, I don't know.

::::::::::An explanation of purchasing power parity from Investopedia: &amp;quot;Purchasing power parity (PPP) is a popular macroeconomic analysis metric used to compare economic productivity and standards of living between countries. PPP involves an economic theory that compares different countries' currencies through a &amp;quot;basket of goods&amp;quot; approach. That is, PPP is the exchange rate at which one nation's currency would be converted into another to purchase the same and same amounts of a large group of products. According to this concept, two currencies are in equilibrium—their currencies are at par—when a basket of goods is priced the same in both countries, taking into account the exchange rates.&amp;quot;[https://www.investopedia.com/updates/purchasing-power-parity-ppp/] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 19:37, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|Throughout the period of the current cease-fire, Hamas has been systematically dismantling its own side’s propaganda. The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.&lt;br /&gt;
Then on Saturday''' Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand'''. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.&lt;br /&gt;
Every claim made against Israel was projection. Hamas had been doing all the things it accused Israel of, accusations that the media gleefully echoed like pet-shop parrots.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''The three men had lost half their body weight. They were starved. Hung up by their legs. Chained. One only walked for the first time on the day he was released. He had to learn how to use his feet again. They were strangled, beaten, burned. The hostages were supposed to be the terrorist’s grand plan, their prize assets. Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation. In a way they could not ignore. Though some still are determined to look away and continue the narrative of victimhood. It is becoming more difficult with every abused innocent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps.''' We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.&lt;br /&gt;

Israel: Hamas a ‘death cult that murders, tortures, parades dead bodies’.&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization &amp;quot;has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,&amp;quot; government spokesman David Mencer said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Feb. 20, 2025 / JNS)&lt;br /&gt;
An Israeli government spokesman slammed Hamas as a “death cult” after it paraded the coffins containing the remains of four civilian hostages, including those of a baby and a child, during a propaganda stage show in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip, on Thursday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hamas is not a resistance movement. Hamas is a death cult that murders, that tortures and parades dead bodies,” government spokesman David Mencer told journalists during a press briefing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization “has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the bodies has been identified as belonging to hostage Oded Lifshitz, his family confirmed on Thursday afternoon after identification at the National Center of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other remains handed over by the Palestinian terror organization were said to be those of Shiri Bibas (32 when captured on Oct. 7, 2023) and her sons, Ariel (4 when taken) and Kfir (9 months old when taken).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four bodies were transferred to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross after the propaganda ceremony attended by members of Hamas’s “military wing,” Gaza civilians and terrorists released under the auspices of previous prisoner swaps.&lt;br /&gt;

==Germany - understanding the difference between the American and parliamentary systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's take this opportunity to understand the difference between the American and parliamentary systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the [[Electoral College]], the [[constitutional]] requirement of a 51% majority to elect a [[head of government]], that has turned the [[United States]] into a &amp;quot;two party system&amp;quot;. Parliamentary systems often have 3 or 5, or even more &amp;quot;major parties&amp;quot;, with rarely any of them having 51% majority. Hence they often have to forge &amp;quot;[[coalition]]&amp;quot; governments, with the leader of the party with a [[plurality]] becoming [[prime minister]] and offering important cabinet posts to their junior coalition partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example in [[Germany]], the alleged &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; [[Christian Democratic Union]] ruled for 16 years under [[Merkel]] until it was voted out a few years ago in favor of the Socialist, Green, and Free Democrat coalition. It was just voted back in with 29%, but refuses to form a coalition with the &amp;quot;far right&amp;quot; [[AfD]]. So it goes from being &amp;quot;opposition&amp;quot; to the [[Social Democrat]]s to being a coalition partner now along with the &amp;quot;far left&amp;quot; [[Green Party]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IOWs, despite gains by the [[conservative]] AfD - which individually is larger than the Socialists or Greens, the [[leftwing]] Socialists &amp;amp; Greens remain in the governing coalition along with the so-called &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; Christian Democrats. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:51, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, despite 50%+ of Germans voting &amp;quot;right wing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot;, the conservatives did not &amp;quot;win&amp;quot;, and the extreme [[leftist]] [[Socialist]]s &amp;amp; [[Greens]] remain in power. The same thing happened in [[Sweden]] a few years ago, and will continue to happen throughout Europe to all &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; &amp;quot;rightwing&amp;quot; parties.

We certainly have '''an order of magnitude''' – I want to emphasize this – an order of magnitude '''more resources of this kind than in Ukraine.

For example, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, back in Soviet times, there were plans to build a new hydroelectric power station and create additional [[aluminum]] production facilities. After all, aluminum is, first of all, energy, and preferably cheap energy. Hydroelectric power is cheap, and among other things, it is also environmentally friendly.&lt;br /&gt;

That is why, I repeat, there are such plans since the Soviet era, but these are [[capital]]-intensive, investment-intensive projects: according to preliminary estimates, it cost or will cost about '''$15 billion''' at today's prices. We can think about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the policy of the '''current President today''' is to place production on the territory of the United States. But if American companies work for us, this is also a benefit, and a considerable one, because both companies will earn decent money, and the corresponding volumes of aluminum will be supplied to the domestic market at absolutely acceptable market prices. There is much to think about here, as well as joint work on rare and '''rare-earth metals''', and in other areas, including, for example, energy.

::[[Putin]] we know to be an [[election denier]], who agrees (1) the 2020 election was stolen, and (2) the [[war]] never would have started if Trump were President. Zelensky, who campaigned for [[Biden]], interrupted Trump when Trump said &amp;quot;A [[stupid]] president...&amp;quot; Zelensky said, &amp;quot;You (the American people) voted for your president&amp;quot;, implying (a) Trump's a [[liar]], (b) Biden was elected legitimately, and (c) lecturing the American people on [[democracy]].

&lt;br /&gt;
===&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot; is a word we've heard now several times in public forums from [[Vladimir Putin]] in reference to the [[United States]] and the [[Trump administration]] in the past week. This gives credence to the theories propounded by [[Stephen Bryen]]:&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/russia-us-peace-deal-on-ukraine-at Russia-US Peace Deal on Ukraine at an Advanced Stage] Zelensky will be asked to Cooperate&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/the-shoot-out-at-the-white-house The Shoot Out at the White House and some guesses about what happens next].&lt;br /&gt;
We have not heard the word &amp;quot;partners&amp;quot; in reference to the US or Europe from Putin or [[Lavrov]] since Feb 2022, replaced with terms like &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Partner&amp;quot; has been reserved for [[Belarus]] and others. We've yet to hear &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; being used  for [[European]] powers, [[Germany]], [[France]], [[UK]]. etc. of late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term generally means &amp;quot;negotiating partner&amp;quot;, where the parties have agreed on certain ground rules and objectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bryen alleges that there is a behind-the-scenes back channel that is far ahead of what is publicly known and reported. The fact that [[Keith Kellogg]], [[Waltz]] and [[Rubio]] appear cut out, and [[Middle East]] envoy [[Witkoff]] has appeared in the [[Kremlin]] is more evidence of Bryen's theory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ukraine]] and the [[Zelensky regime]] have been cut off by the Trump administration. The only question I can determine unresolved is, does this mean the port city of [[Odessa]] is also included in Russia's territorial demands, and a Ukrainian rump state will be landlocked? (There is an internal debate in Russia about not being overextended beyond what they can control and defend, such as what happened in 1989 with [[East Germany]] &amp;amp; the [[Warsaw Pact]], etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump's extension of [[Executive Order]] 13660 for another year means that the war will continue for another year, only without [[US]] assistance, and it remains to be seen what the &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot; European powers can bring to the table to continue more suffering and death. Alternatively, the US encouraging Europe to beef up its defense spending and take responsibility for itself is in line with Trump (and even Putin's) desire for a dissolution, or withdrawal, of the United States from [[NATO]].

&lt;br /&gt;
===Meetings between heads of state===&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings between [[heads of state]] are carefully crafted and carefully scripted. One off-script word by either party can throw the meeting into chaos (as just witnessed). At the [[Riyadh]] meeting last week, the US side was reported to have asked for a summit with Putin, and the Russian response was reported to be more time is needed for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1972 the Moscow Summit between [[Nixon]] &amp;amp; [[Brezhnev]] that ushered in the age of ''[[detente]]'' was nearly derailed at the last minute because of an off-the-cuff comment made by Brezhnev. As Nixon arrived in Moscow, a light mist was falling. As Nixon stepped off the plane Brezhnev greeted him with, &amp;quot;This is a mushroom rain&amp;quot;. When the off-script comment was translated, it was interpreted as a threat. What did Brezhnev mean by that? a mushroom cloud? [[nuclear war]]? [[nuclear winter]]? etc. The translators had to sort things out and play diplomat for a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Russia, like [[baseball]] in the [[United States]], mushroom hunting in the woods in the national pastime. It's a big weekend family event for city dwellers, complete with instruction guides, where and when to hunt for what type of mushrooms, etc. The translators had only minutes to explain this cultural phenomenon and idiom to American State Department and White House officials, and that nothing was implied by the off-hand remark, and hope it would be received well in [[good faith]] by the American side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But of course, when you have an undisciplined [[cocaine]] addict and [[popular culture]] figure like [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] representing your interests, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

🚨 &amp;quot;No Other Land&amp;quot; Exposed by Pro-Palestinian Activist 🚨&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is the text of a Facebook post published by Erez Ganor—an Israeli who claims to have worked for years to help Palestinians—about the Oscar-winning documentary &amp;quot;No Other Land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erez deleted this post after experiencing significant backlash from other pro-Palestinian activists. It's very long, so here are the most notable parts, in my opinion:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I just want to say that the film in question is a staged production made at the expense of the very residents whose outcry it claims to represent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is an opportunistic family [referring to co-writer &amp;amp; co-director Basel Adra] that has made a name for itself at the expense of the residents of the village of Al-Tuwani.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Upon thorough investigation, it turned out they were receiving donations and selling them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat).&lt;br /&gt;
Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census.&lt;br /&gt;
It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox.&lt;br /&gt;
The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as &amp;quot;The Moscovia,&amp;quot; which still exists today.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community.&lt;br /&gt;
A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police.&lt;br /&gt;
This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

== Tariffs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have to say that when I voted for Trump, I had no idea that I was voting for across-the-board tariffs. What happened to the Keystone pipeline? This was a pipeline to bring in oil from Canada that Trump approved in his first term. Trump negotiated the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) free trade agreement in July 2020. Since returning to office, he has torn up that agreement without explanation. Biden raised tariffs more than Trump did in his first term. Yeah, Trump talked a lot about tariffs. They have always been an issue close to his heart. But I assumed he meant tariffs against China. Stocks are down by four percent since the start of the tariff whirlwind. The Trump's tariff &amp;quot;pause&amp;quot; has yet to lead to any recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not about money, but our national soul, as Trump put it in the State of the Union. If it's about our soul, how are we supposed to think about the trade agreements that Trump negotiated in his first term?

:Nearly 108,000 persons in the U.S. died from drug-involved overdose in 2022 and fentanyl is a big and growing problem in Canada that could be mitigated. But the liberal Trudeau and some of the liberal Canadian politicians have bad public policy. Maybe Trump is using the tariff thumbscrew to get concessions related to Canadian fentanyl. But maybe he just wants to bring factories back to the USA. Maybe he just doesn't like Trudeau and he enjoys tormenting him. Maybe it is all these reasons or a combination of some of them. With that being said, dissing Canada and calling it the 51st state hurts U.S. product/service sales to Canada. One last thing related to Canada is that they spend very little on defense and free ride off the USA so Trump may resent that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The USA does have a trade deficit and the USA has tolerated unfair trade practices in the past due to wanting to get alliances back in the Cold War days. But the Soviet Union is long gone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Maybe reciprocal tariffs involves some short-term pain to get long-term benefits. The Chinese have a very low birthrate so the USA has to make a transition over time as far as not counting on the Chinese to manufacture things. Next, there is a danger of Trump using a tariff sledgehammer against China and there not being enough manufacturing capacity to replace them should their economy be badly damaged. China already has big economic problems so taking more pieces out of their Jenga economy could have some unintended consequences that are deleterious to the USA.

:::Dianne3000, I just did the math. There is a trade deficit of $984 billion per annum for the USA. There are about 325 million Americans. So that is about $2,000 a year per American as far as the trade deficit. The USA has 4 times the labor productivity of China overall. A study by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found that manufacturing workers earn 13% more in hourly compensation than comparable workers in the rest of the private sector.[https://www.google.com/search?q=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;oq=how+much+do+manufacturing+jobs+pay+compared+to+service+jobs&amp;amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQLhhA0gEJMjE5OTlqMGoxqAIAsAIA&amp;amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8] And then there is the labor rates of the various countries and the different specializations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::It's a complex issue. But at the end of the day, the USA should improve its educational system so people are better prepared.

That is, PPP is the exchange rate at which one nation's currency would be converted into another to purchase the same and same amounts of a large group of products.

&lt;br /&gt;
''I looked at hostages that came in. They're emaciated. It looked like something from the 1930s. It's an absolute disgrace. I think they saw as the world viewed it, and they're looking for a reason not to send more. They're all...you look at it.. it looks like it was a concentration camp, which essentially it was. It looks like it came out of the Holocaust. What a sad thing...''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Those people have been badly hurt, both mentally and physically,  I'm talking about the young women also that came out previously.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''And I think one of the reasons they're probably doing this, they are sending the very best. What you see is probably the best. Because they want to send people that look at least healthy. And that's not healthy...''&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|Throughout the period of the current cease-fire, Hamas has been systematically dismantling its own side’s propaganda. The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.&lt;br /&gt;
Then on Saturday''' Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand'''. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.&lt;br /&gt;
Every claim made against Israel was projection. Hamas had been doing all the things it accused Israel of, accusations that the media gleefully echoed like pet-shop parrots.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''The three men had lost half their body weight. They were starved. Hung up by their legs. Chained. One only walked for the first time on the day he was released. He had to learn how to use his feet again. They were strangled, beaten, burned. The hostages were supposed to be the terrorist’s grand plan, their prize assets. Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation. In a way they could not ignore. Though some still are determined to look away and continue the narrative of victimhood. It is becoming more difficult with every abused innocent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps.''' We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.&lt;br /&gt;

Israel: Hamas a ‘death cult that murders, tortures, parades dead bodies’.&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization &amp;quot;has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,&amp;quot; government spokesman David Mencer said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Feb. 20, 2025 / JNS)&lt;br /&gt;
An Israeli government spokesman slammed Hamas as a “death cult” after it paraded the coffins containing the remains of four civilian hostages, including those of a baby and a child, during a propaganda stage show in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip, on Thursday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hamas is not a resistance movement. Hamas is a death cult that murders, that tortures and parades dead bodies,” government spokesman David Mencer told journalists during a press briefing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization “has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the bodies has been identified as belonging to hostage Oded Lifshitz, his family confirmed on Thursday afternoon after identification at the National Center of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other remains handed over by the Palestinian terror organization were said to be those of Shiri Bibas (32 when captured on Oct. 7, 2023) and her sons, Ariel (4 when taken) and Kfir (9 months old when taken).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four bodies were transferred to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross after the propaganda ceremony attended by members of Hamas’s “military wing,” Gaza civilians and terrorists released under the auspices of previous prisoner swaps.&lt;br /&gt;

==Germany - understanding the difference between the American and parliamentary systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's take this opportunity to understand the difference between the American and parliamentary systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the [[Electoral College]], the [[constitutional]] requirement of a 51% majority to elect a [[head of government]], that has turned the [[United States]] into a &amp;quot;two party system&amp;quot;. Parliamentary systems often have 3 or 5, or even more &amp;quot;major parties&amp;quot;, with rarely any of them having 51% majority. Hence they often have to forge &amp;quot;[[coalition]]&amp;quot; governments, with the leader of the party with a [[plurality]] becoming [[prime minister]] and offering important cabinet posts to their junior coalition partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example in [[Germany]], the alleged &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; [[Christian Democratic Union]] ruled for 16 years under [[Merkel]] until it was voted out a few years ago in favor of the Socialist, Green, and Free Democrat coalition. It was just voted back in with 29%, but refuses to form a coalition with the &amp;quot;far right&amp;quot; [[AfD]]. So it goes from being &amp;quot;opposition&amp;quot; to the [[Social Democrat]]s to being a coalition partner now along with the &amp;quot;far left&amp;quot; [[Green Party]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IOWs, despite gains by the [[conservative]] AfD - which individually is larger than the Socialists or Greens, the [[leftwing]] Socialists &amp;amp; Greens remain in the governing coalition along with the so-called &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; Christian Democrats. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:51, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, despite 50%+ of Germans voting &amp;quot;right wing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot;, the conservatives did not &amp;quot;win&amp;quot;, and the extreme [[leftist]] [[Socialist]]s &amp;amp; [[Greens]] remain in power. The same thing happened in [[Sweden]] a few years ago, and will continue to happen throughout Europe to all &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; &amp;quot;rightwing&amp;quot; parties. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 18:20, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;quot;The man poised to be the next chancellor of Germany is Friedrich Merz, of the conservative Christian Democratic Union.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If any of that were true, there would be no AfD. It was the Christian Democratic Union that opened the floodgates on immigration, was voted out for it, and the Socialists and Greens just lost their status as leaders of the coalition for not stopping it. [https://youtu.be/ylxaKuhO_14?t=318 Merz has already vowed not] to allow the conservative populist, reformist, and &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; AfD - most of which came from the CDU - into the government.&lt;br /&gt;

But this exchange highlights precisely the main takeaway—which is that the artificially constructed image of Zelensky is no longer useful, and has been tossed away like a used rag. All the false bravado and olive drab khakis—it all served a purpose for the past three years, with Zelensky built up like some kind of John Rambo-Churchill. The ‘sacred’ attire would have never been questioned before, because it represented the theater of it all, the carefully stage-managed production.

We certainly have '''an order of magnitude''' – I want to emphasize this – an order of magnitude '''more resources of this kind than in Ukraine. Russia is one of the undisputed leaders in terms of reserves of these rare and rare-earth metals.'''...What is most important, in my opinion, is that '''we could think together with [[American]] companies about working together in this area.''' For example, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, back in Soviet times, there were plans to build a new hydroelectric power station and create additional [[aluminum]] production facilities. After all, aluminum is, first of all, energy, and preferably cheap energy. Hydroelectric power is cheap, and among other things, it is also environmentally friendly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is why, I repeat, there are such plans since the Soviet era, but these are [[capital]]-intensive, investment-intensive projects: according to preliminary estimates, it cost or will cost about '''$15 billion''' at today's prices. We can think about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the policy of the '''current President today''' is to place production on the territory of the United States. But if American companies work for us, this is also a benefit, and a considerable one, because both companies will earn decent money, and the corresponding volumes of aluminum will be supplied to the domestic market at absolutely acceptable market prices. There is much to think about here, as well as joint work on rare and '''rare-earth metals''', and in other areas, including, for example, energy.

:You see this in their prisoner interrogation interviews.

===&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot; is a word we've heard now several times in public forums from [[Vladimir Putin]] in reference to the [[United States]] and the [[Trump administration]] in the past week. This gives credence to the theories propounded by [[Stephen Bryen]]:&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/russia-us-peace-deal-on-ukraine-at Russia-US Peace Deal on Ukraine at an Advanced Stage] Zelensky will be asked to Cooperate&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/the-shoot-out-at-the-white-house The Shoot Out at the White House and some guesses about what happens next].&lt;br /&gt;
We have not heard the word &amp;quot;partners&amp;quot; in reference to the US or Europe from Putin or [[Lavrov]] since Feb 2022, replaced with terms like &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Partner&amp;quot; has been reserved for [[Belarus]] and others. We've yet to hear &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; being used  for [[European]] powers, [[Germany]], [[France]], [[UK]]. etc. of late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term generally means &amp;quot;negotiating partner&amp;quot;, where the parties have agreed on certain ground rules and objectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bryen alleges that there is a behind-the-scenes back channel that is far ahead of what is publicly known and reported. The fact that [[Keith Kellogg]], [[Waltz]] and [[Rubio]] appear cut out, and [[Middle East]] envoy [[Witkoff]] has appeared in the [[Kremlin]] is more evidence of Bryen's theory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ukraine]] and the [[Zelensky regime]] have been cut off by the Trump administration. The only question I can determine unresolved is, does this mean the port city of [[Odessa]] is also included in Russia's territorial demands, and a Ukrainian rump state will be landlocked? (There is an internal debate in Russia about not being overextended beyond what they can control and defend, such as what happened in 1989 with [[East Germany]] &amp;amp; the [[Warsaw Pact]], etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump's extension of [[Executive Order]] 13660 for another year means that the war will continue for another year, only without [[US]] assistance, and it remains to be seen what the &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot; European powers can bring to the table to continue more suffering and death. Alternatively, the US encouraging Europe to beef up its defense spending and take responsibility for itself is in line with Trump (and even Putin's) desire for a dissolution, or withdrawal, of the United States from [[NATO]].

&lt;br /&gt;
===Meetings between heads of state===&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings between [[heads of state]] are carefully crafted and carefully scripted. One off-script word by either party can throw the meeting into chaos (as just witnessed). At the [[Riyadh]] meeting last week, the US side was reported to have asked for a summit with Putin, and the Russian response was reported to be more time is needed for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1972 the Moscow Summit between [[Nixon]] &amp;amp; [[Brezhnev]] that ushered in the age of ''[[detente]]'' was nearly derailed at the last minute because of an off-the-cuff comment made by Brezhnev. As Nixon arrived in Moscow, a light mist was falling. As Nixon stepped off the plane Brezhnev greeted him with, &amp;quot;This is a mushroom rain&amp;quot;. When the off-script comment was translated, it was interpreted as a threat. What did Brezhnev mean by that? a mushroom cloud? [[nuclear war]]? [[nuclear winter]]? etc. The translators had to sort things out and play diplomat for a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Russia, like [[baseball]] in the [[United States]], mushroom hunting in the woods in the national pastime. It's a big weekend family event for city dwellers, complete with instruction guides, where and when to hunt for what type of mushrooms, etc. The translators had only minutes to explain this cultural phenomenon and idiom to American State Department and White House officials, and that nothing was implied by the off-hand remark, and hope it would be received well in [[good faith]] by the American side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But of course, when you have an undisciplined [[cocaine]] addict and [[popular culture]] figure like [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] representing your interests, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

🚨 &amp;quot;No Other Land&amp;quot; Exposed by Pro-Palestinian Activist 🚨&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is the text of a Facebook post published by Erez Ganor—an Israeli who claims to have worked for years to help Palestinians—about the Oscar-winning documentary &amp;quot;No Other Land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erez deleted this post after experiencing significant backlash from other pro-Palestinian activists. It's very long, so here are the most notable parts, in my opinion:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I just want to say that the film in question is a staged production made at the expense of the very residents whose outcry it claims to represent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is an opportunistic family [referring to co-writer &amp;amp; co-director Basel Adra] that has made a name for itself at the expense of the residents of the village of Al-Tuwani.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Upon thorough investigation, it turned out they were receiving donations and selling them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat).&lt;br /&gt;
Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census.&lt;br /&gt;
It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox.&lt;br /&gt;
The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as &amp;quot;The Moscovia,&amp;quot; which still exists today.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community.&lt;br /&gt;
A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police.&lt;br /&gt;
This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

This was a pipeline to bring in oil from Canada that Trump approved in his first term. Trump negotiated the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) free trade agreement in July 2020. Since returning to office, he has torn up that agreement without explanation. Biden raised tariffs more than Trump did in his first term. Yeah, Trump talked a lot about tariffs. They have always been an issue close to his heart. But I assumed he meant tariffs against China. Stocks are down by four percent since the start of the tariff whirlwind. The Trump's tariff &amp;quot;pause&amp;quot; has yet to lead to any recovery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's not about money, but our national soul, as Trump put it in the State of the Union. If it's about our soul, how are we supposed to think about the trade agreements that Trump negotiated in his first term?

:And it's not like Hamas didn't have the resources. Hamas fighters that have appeared on camera look pretty well fed. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 21:50, February 10, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
Sure.  &lt;br /&gt;
[https://www.commentary.org/seth-mandel/the-chilling-implications-of-hamass-suspension-of-hostage-releases/ Writer]: &lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|Throughout the period of the current cease-fire, Hamas has been systematically dismantling its own side’s propaganda. The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.&lt;br /&gt;
Then on Saturday''' Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand'''. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.&lt;br /&gt;
Every claim made against Israel was projection. Hamas had been doing all the things it accused Israel of, accusations that the media gleefully echoed like pet-shop parrots.}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|'''The three men had lost half their body weight. They were starved. Hung up by their legs. Chained. One only walked for the first time on the day he was released. He had to learn how to use his feet again. They were strangled, beaten, burned. The hostages were supposed to be the terrorist’s grand plan, their prize assets. Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation. In a way they could not ignore. Though some still are determined to look away and continue the narrative of victimhood. It is becoming more difficult with every abused innocent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps.''' We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.&lt;br /&gt;

Israel: Hamas a ‘death cult that murders, tortures, parades dead bodies’.&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization &amp;quot;has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,&amp;quot; government spokesman David Mencer said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Feb. 20, 2025 / JNS)&lt;br /&gt;
An Israeli government spokesman slammed Hamas as a “death cult” after it paraded the coffins containing the remains of four civilian hostages, including those of a baby and a child, during a propaganda stage show in Khan Yunis, the southern Gaza Strip, on Thursday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Hamas is not a resistance movement. Hamas is a death cult that murders, that tortures and parades dead bodies,” government spokesman David Mencer told journalists during a press briefing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Palestinian terrorist organization “has no place amongst civilized nations. It has no place in Gaza,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the bodies has been identified as belonging to hostage Oded Lifshitz, his family confirmed on Thursday afternoon after identification at the National Center of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other remains handed over by the Palestinian terror organization were said to be those of Shiri Bibas (32 when captured on Oct. 7, 2023) and her sons, Ariel (4 when taken) and Kfir (9 months old when taken).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The four bodies were transferred to representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross after the propaganda ceremony attended by members of Hamas’s “military wing,” Gaza civilians and terrorists released under the auspices of previous prisoner swaps.&lt;br /&gt;

==Germany - understanding the difference between the American and parliamentary systems==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let's take this opportunity to understand the difference between the American and parliamentary systems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the [[Electoral College]], the [[constitutional]] requirement of a 51% majority to elect a [[head of government]], that has turned the [[United States]] into a &amp;quot;two party system&amp;quot;. Parliamentary systems often have 3 or 5, or even more &amp;quot;major parties&amp;quot;, with rarely any of them having 51% majority. Hence they often have to forge &amp;quot;[[coalition]]&amp;quot; governments, with the leader of the party with a [[plurality]] becoming [[prime minister]] and offering important cabinet posts to their junior coalition partners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example in [[Germany]], the alleged &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; [[Christian Democratic Union]] ruled for 16 years under [[Merkel]] until it was voted out a few years ago in favor of the Socialist, Green, and Free Democrat coalition. It was just voted back in with 29%, but refuses to form a coalition with the &amp;quot;far right&amp;quot; [[AfD]]. So it goes from being &amp;quot;opposition&amp;quot; to the [[Social Democrat]]s to being a coalition partner now along with the &amp;quot;far left&amp;quot; [[Green Party]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IOWs, despite gains by the [[conservative]] AfD - which individually is larger than the Socialists or Greens, the [[leftwing]] Socialists &amp;amp; Greens remain in the governing coalition along with the so-called &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot; Christian Democrats. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 17:51, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In short, despite 50%+ of Germans voting &amp;quot;right wing&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;conservative&amp;quot;, the conservatives did not &amp;quot;win&amp;quot;, and the extreme [[leftist]] [[Socialist]]s &amp;amp; [[Greens]] remain in power. The same thing happened in [[Sweden]] a few years ago, and will continue to happen throughout Europe to all &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; &amp;quot;rightwing&amp;quot; parties. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 18:20, February 23, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If any of that were true, there would be no AfD. It was the Christian Democratic Union that opened the floodgates on immigration, was voted out for it, and the Socialists and Greens just lost their status as leaders of the coalition for not stopping it. [https://youtu.be/ylxaKuhO_14?t=318 Merz has already vowed not] to allow the conservative populist, reformist, and &amp;quot;anti-immigrant&amp;quot; AfD - most of which came from the CDU - into the government.&lt;br /&gt;

{{Cquote|By the way, we would also be ready to offer [cooperation] to our [[American]] partners – when I say partners, I mean not only administrative and government structures, but also companies – if they showed interest in working together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We certainly have '''an order of magnitude''' – I want to emphasize this – an order of magnitude '''more resources of this kind than in Ukraine. Russia is one of the undisputed leaders in terms of reserves of these rare and rare-earth metals.'''...What is most important, in my opinion, is that '''we could think together with [[American]] companies about working together in this area.''' For example, in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, back in Soviet times, there were plans to build a new hydroelectric power station and create additional [[aluminum]] production facilities. After all, aluminum is, first of all, energy, and preferably cheap energy. Hydroelectric power is cheap, and among other things, it is also environmentally friendly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is why, I repeat, there are such plans since the Soviet era, but these are [[capital]]-intensive, investment-intensive projects: according to preliminary estimates, it cost or will cost about '''$15 billion''' at today's prices. We can think about it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the policy of the '''current President today''' is to place production on the territory of the United States. But if American companies work for us, this is also a benefit, and a considerable one, because both companies will earn decent money, and the corresponding volumes of aluminum will be supplied to the domestic market at absolutely acceptable market prices. There is much to think about here, as well as joint work on rare and '''rare-earth metals''', and in other areas, including, for example, energy.

:You see this in their prisoner interrogation interviews. The first question is usually, &amp;quot;Why did you come here with a gun?&amp;quot; If you are a foreign [[mercenary]] not protected by the [[Geneva Convention]] or a [[Ukrainian Nazi]], the interrogation usually ends abruptly with a bullet in the head. Americans thinking about travelling to [[Kursk]] or the [[Donbas]] really ought to think about this before swallowing wholesale [[USAID]]-funded [[propaganda]].

&lt;br /&gt;
===&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot;===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Partners&amp;quot; is a word we've heard now several times in public forums from [[Vladimir Putin]] in reference to the [[United States]] and the [[Trump administration]] in the past week. This gives credence to the theories propounded by [[Stephen Bryen]]:&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/russia-us-peace-deal-on-ukraine-at Russia-US Peace Deal on Ukraine at an Advanced Stage] Zelensky will be asked to Cooperate&lt;br /&gt;
*[https://weapons.substack.com/p/the-shoot-out-at-the-white-house The Shoot Out at the White House and some guesses about what happens next].&lt;br /&gt;
We have not heard the word &amp;quot;partners&amp;quot; in reference to the US or Europe from Putin or [[Lavrov]] since Feb 2022, replaced with terms like &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Partner&amp;quot; has been reserved for [[Belarus]] and others. We've yet to hear &amp;quot;partner&amp;quot; being used  for [[European]] powers, [[Germany]], [[France]], [[UK]]. etc. of late.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The term generally means &amp;quot;negotiating partner&amp;quot;, where the parties have agreed on certain ground rules and objectives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bryen alleges that there is a behind-the-scenes back channel that is far ahead of what is publicly known and reported. The fact that [[Keith Kellogg]], [[Waltz]] and [[Rubio]] appear cut out, and [[Middle East]] envoy [[Witkoff]] has appeared in the [[Kremlin]] is more evidence of Bryen's theory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ukraine]] and the [[Zelensky regime]] have been cut off by the Trump administration. The only question I can determine unresolved is, does this mean the port city of [[Odessa]] is also included in Russia's territorial demands, and a Ukrainian rump state will be landlocked? (There is an internal debate in Russia about not being overextended beyond what they can control and defend, such as what happened in 1989 with [[East Germany]] &amp;amp; the [[Warsaw Pact]], etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump's extension of [[Executive Order]] 13660 for another year means that the war will continue for another year, only without [[US]] assistance, and it remains to be seen what the &amp;quot;unfriendly&amp;quot; European powers can bring to the table to continue more suffering and death. Alternatively, the US encouraging Europe to beef up its defense spending and take responsibility for itself is in line with Trump (and even Putin's) desire for a dissolution, or withdrawal, of the United States from [[NATO]]. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; 12:26, March 1, 2025 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Meetings between heads of state===&lt;br /&gt;
Meetings between [[heads of state]] are carefully crafted and carefully scripted. One off-script word by either party can throw the meeting into chaos (as just witnessed). At the [[Riyadh]] meeting last week, the US side was reported to have asked for a summit with Putin, and the Russian response was reported to be more time is needed for preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1972 the Moscow Summit between [[Nixon]] &amp;amp; [[Brezhnev]] that ushered in the age of ''[[detente]]'' was nearly derailed at the last minute because of an off-the-cuff comment made by Brezhnev. As Nixon arrived in Moscow, a light mist was falling. As Nixon stepped off the plane Brezhnev greeted him with, &amp;quot;This is a mushroom rain&amp;quot;. When the off-script comment was translated, it was interpreted as a threat. What did Brezhnev mean by that? a mushroom cloud? [[nuclear war]]? [[nuclear winter]]? etc. The translators had to sort things out and play diplomat for a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Russia, like [[baseball]] in the [[United States]], mushroom hunting in the woods in the national pastime. It's a big weekend family event for city dwellers, complete with instruction guides, where and when to hunt for what type of mushrooms, etc. The translators had only minutes to explain this cultural phenomenon and idiom to American State Department and White House officials, and that nothing was implied by the off-hand remark, and hope it would be received well in [[good faith]] by the American side. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But of course, when you have an undisciplined [[cocaine]] addict and [[popular culture]] figure like [[Volodymyr Zelensky]] representing your interests, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

🚨 &amp;quot;No Other Land&amp;quot; Exposed by Pro-Palestinian Activist 🚨&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Below is the text of a Facebook post published by Erez Ganor—an Israeli who claims to have worked for years to help Palestinians—about the Oscar-winning documentary &amp;quot;No Other Land.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erez deleted this post after experiencing significant backlash from other pro-Palestinian activists. It's very long, so here are the most notable parts, in my opinion:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I just want to say that the film in question is a staged production made at the expense of the very residents whose outcry it claims to represent.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is an opportunistic family [referring to co-writer &amp;amp; co-director Basel Adra] that has made a name for itself at the expense of the residents of the village of Al-Tuwani.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The family stages supposedly violent incidents involving settlers, yet at the same time has no qualms about working in Israel or even with settlers.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;This is a family that spends plenty of time in Europe, funded by European grants aimed at supporting the rural population of the South Hebron Hills, driving luxury vehicles in stark contrast to the rest of the region’s residents.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Hedonists and opportunists like these are very familiar to us, and they exist within Palestinian society as well—people who know how to exploit certain situations for their own personal benefit.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;I’ve encountered this family staging incidents on multiple occasions while I was volunteering, transporting sick children and carrying out rehabilitation work among the rural population in the Hebron area.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Upon thorough investigation, it turned out they were receiving donations and selling them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
🔸 &amp;quot;Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
To this day, the disappearance of the last Christian village in the Hebron area remains a mystery, as does the suppression of information about the massacre in Hebron—not the famous one during the 1929 riots (Tarpat).&lt;br /&gt;
Most of you are probably unaware that a massacre also took place in Hebron in 1922.&lt;br /&gt;
The 1921 riots may have subsided, but in the West Bank they continued against Christian minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hebron once had a small Christian community of about 40 households, according to the British Mandate census.&lt;br /&gt;
It was made up mostly of Greek Orthodox Christians, with a minority of Catholics and Russian Orthodox.&lt;br /&gt;
The community hosted Christian pilgrims who would visit the Tomb of the Patriarchs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the early 20th century, the Russian Church even established another guest complex near the city, known as &amp;quot;The Moscovia,&amp;quot; which still exists today.&lt;br /&gt;
In 1922, an inflamed Muslim mob rose up and massacred the Christian community.&lt;br /&gt;
A few children survived the massacre and were taken to orphanages in Jerusalem by the Mandate police.&lt;br /&gt;
This was ethnic cleansing, Palestinian Arab style.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biased film produced by the Adra family, supposedly crying out the voice of the dispossessed, is actually a mockery of the poor.&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the residents of Masafer Yatta would be living peacefully were it not for all the provocations of this wandering family, which runs social media pages, funds, connections, and more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the Arab population should seek the truth and not rely on dubious sources of information.&lt;br /&gt;
And to those who aren't interested in the truth—so be it.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

== Tariffs ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have to say that when I voted for Trump, I had no idea that I was voting for across-the-board tariffs. What happened to the Keystone pipeline? This was a pipeline to bring in oil from Canada that Trump approved in his first term. Trump negotiated the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) free trade agreement in July 2020. Since returning to office, he has torn up that agreement without explanation. Biden raised tariffs more than Trump did in his first term. Yeah, Trump talked a lot about tariffs. They have always been an issue close to his heart. But I assumed he meant tariffs against China. Stocks are down by four percent since the start of the tariff whirlwind. The Trump's tariff &amp;quot;pause&amp;quot; has yet to lead to any recovery. It's not about money, but our national soul, as Trump put it in the State of the Union. How are we supposed to think about the trade agreements that Trump negotiated in his first term? [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 03:49, March 8, 2025 (EST)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

{{Cquote|Throughout the period of the current cease-fire, Hamas has been systematically dismantling its own side’s propaganda. The claim of Israeli “genocide” was always false, but Gaza officials acknowledging that the enclave’s population increased during the war, and that Israeli bombs were mostly dropped on uninhabited neighborhoods, and that Hamas had been using hospitals and humanitarian zones as active war bases made it clear that Israel’s defenders were telling the truth and Hamas’s fans were lying all along.&lt;br /&gt;
Then on Saturday''' Hamas released a propaganda video showing its men keeping Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami in a claustrophobic, airless underground cell. We’ve seen Hamasniks driving a fleet of well-maintained vehicles through Gaza and past its gleaming buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
At the release ceremony itself, the viewing public was treated to watching well-fed Gazans taking selfies while the gaunt hostages could barely stand'''. We had already known that Israel had allowed into Gaza enough food for each Palestinian to have 3,000 calories per day. But now we were seeing proof that full-bellied Gazans had been spending the war guarding starving Israeli hostages.&lt;br /&gt;

Yet they treated them with malice and brutishness. Part of the strategy with the men could have been to weaken and humiliate them deliberately as psychological warfare. To show well-fed gun-wielding Palestinian terrorists in contrast to frail and thin Israelis. All it did was expose the lie of famine and reveal who was actually starving in Gaza.'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas is always speaking to many different audiences, often with opposite messaging. To Arab countries a show of strength and intimidation. To the West an exploitation of sympathy. To Gazans a signal of dominance. The releases have been challenging to satisfy all those needs and Hamas finally succeeded in displaying for the West the true psychopathic nature of their organisation. In a way they could not ignore. Though some still are determined to look away and continue the narrative of victimhood. It is becoming more difficult with every abused innocent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''The shock of seeing Jews so skeletal immediately evoked those haunted images of survivors in concentration camps.''' We just saw the 80th commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz. A camp that my husband Adam’s great grandparents were murdered in. To pause for one second on the thought of his cousin Tsachi being subjected to the tortures that the released hostages endured is to walk on emotional shards of glass. My jaw clamps and my body starts to shake. I have cried enough tears of sorrow and fury. There is only white, red and black rage now.&lt;br /&gt;

Oldest hostage, 86 y/o Shlomo Mansour, was declared dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was murdered on Oct. 7. Hamas took his body to Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shlomo survived the pro-N*zi &amp;quot;Farhud&amp;quot; pogrom that killed 1,000 Jewish people in Baghdad.&lt;br /&gt;
[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gjf3DlQW4AEo80i?format=jpg&amp;amp;name=900x900].&lt;br /&gt;
He was considered a Holocaust survivor.&lt;br /&gt;

Shlomo Mansour was able to survive the Farhud, a pogrom in Iraq, to come to Israel and start a new life for himself - only to be abducted by Hamas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today, we received the devastating news that Shlomo was murdered and his body is being held captive by Hamas in Gaza.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

“From the roof, I saw a horrifying sight that I still remember and that causes me nightmares, especially when I’m thinking of the terror organisations Isis and Hamas who are our neighbours,” he wrote. “I heard terrible screams and saw a woman crying her heart out and begging to get her baby back.

This guy exposes them [https://x.com/HilzFuld/status/1889234057193517437]:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;If the Gazans oppose Trump’s plan because it’s their land, then they are not refugees. You can’t be a refugee in your own home. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If it’s not their land and it’s an open air prison like they say, they should be happy to leave. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Whether it’s theirs or not, if I give you something and you abuse that thing and use it to cause me harm, well don’t be surprised if I take that thing back. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We gave them Gaza in 2005. All of it. Every last inch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They could have had their Palestinian state. They chose to turn it into hell and put whatever innocent people are left there (like the ones in the photo below. “Innocent” Gazans) in harm’s way. They abused what we gave them and now they will pay the price. &lt;br /&gt;
