Seems we’re taking it over. Can’t make this shit up.
Hopefully it works, but I have my doubts since we will be dealing with savages.

nations involved...including Saudi Arabia, Egypt and EU countries (Britain and France for sure). Ok IMO for U.S. Central Command to manage.
Palestinians?

makes the prospect of a well managed transition highly unlikely. As for Baron, he's off in his own world of "Rules" and "Points" and Alternative Realities...who knows what's going on in that noggin of his.
so it's a given that Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah/ISIS will carry on the battle. With Arab skin in the game, plus U.S. control... and a commitment to a Two-State Solution, we could be there for the reconstruction...show some "Soft Power"...gain trust and confidence among the majority of Gazans...ID new competent Palestinian leaders and build relationships with them. Finally, give Hamas, et al, no political capital with the people...maybe even soften the Right Wingers in Israel.
Israel is critical to our geo-political presence in the region...but maybe Chris can add a sage opinion on this question.
We should take no part in this at all.
be coming back...looks as though Trump is ditching the Two State Solution...Iran and its proxies...funded by Putin will continue to make Israel's...and the U.S.'s interests suffer greatly. Not good news...and even that 'plan' has strong objections...per this report...

alone. Here's hoping Trump "Walks Back" his latest "Weave" thought.
btw, both Bibi and Donald have serious legal issues once they leave office...interesting dynamic to this as well.
I like thd idea - esp since other countries pay, our contractors work, and people get something nice in the end worth protecting.
I don’t hear other workable ideas being offered. Israel is our best ME ally and forcing a solution bad to them is not an option except to the antisemites that we have seen.
It uses the same principles as some urban renewal strategies that have worked in some cases. (No tenement structures!).
I do agree that there are still Hamas terrorist
monsters that need to be filtered out though.

Do you honestly think the Palestinians will voluntarily leave their homeland? How many American lives is it worth?
….I’d be way to worried to try this if Biden leadership vacuum was still in place.
However, I think Netenyahu hit the nail on the head at first mtg today:
“ There is almost nothing that we cannot accomplish when the US and Israel stand hand in hand, and our enemies are not receiving mixed messages”.
Translation to Hamas: “Fuck around and find out” is now in effect.
I expect this to help…a lot.
But I’m not sure that Gaza is worth one American life.
Do you think Trump will make the same commitment to the Ukraine? I’ve been patiently waiting for the president to tell Putin…”fuck around and find out.”
And he didn’t advance under Trump - just under the two who favored appeasement- Obama and Biden.
He can’t & won’t abandon Uk to Putin, but he can’t get back what was already taken. I expect peace settlement w concessions from both sides or else.
We will see.
And we never, ever should have removed the “FAFO” policy toward Putin.
A.We never should have removed the ban on tech to Putin to let him finish Nordstream II pipeline.
B. We never should have removed our plan to offer oil to EU to reduce their Russian oil dependence.
C. We never should have shown such utter incompetence of leadership in the Afghanistan Withdrawal fiasco.
D.never should have ignored Uk pleas for arms as Putin amassed for weeks on the border and then only started helping when world and home political opinion shifted toward helping Uk, …..(remember Obama would only give Ukraine blankets during the Crimean invasion in ‘14, and Hillary responded by simply “Trying to hit the reset button” with Putin - Biden was following this thinking in ‘21 at the start of the second Putin invasion.
E. And we NEVER EVER should have given the “Green Light Speech” where doddering Biden said that the US would tolerate a “minor incursion”.
Maybe the president sees this and is waiting for the right time to drop the hammer and force peace talks. Fingers crossed.
