    It’s glaringly obvious that Israel is just there to sabotage every diplomatic avenue the US might take.

    And the US is basically getting cuckolded as Israel gets everything it wants and the US just impotently watches and pays for it all.

    There’s really no excuse for Israel to be doing this, and they also assassinated negotiators earlier. They really do not want any peace treaty or the US to pull out.

      Which puts Trump in a great position because he’s apparently getting phonecalls on the daily from the Saudis pressuring him to sort out the Hormuz and the “Iran keeps blowing up oil infrastructure” situation. And since the Saudi’s have got a lot of leverage on his family business it’s no wonder he’s been publicly crashing out. There’s even a rumor (so take it with a grain of salt) that some of the Middle Eastern sovereign-wealth funds backing the WB+Paramount deal are considering pulling out; and Trump wants as much media as he can to fall into the hands of his oligarch buddies.

      So, appease Israel for political gain with paleoconservatives? Or appease your wealthy business partners? 🤔

      One day I had worked for 18 hours straight. I was going home at 1AM and walked past a McDonald’s. It was in the middle of summer, 35 degrees all day, but cooling off at night. I really needed a pick me up, so I walked in and approached the counter. A pretty lady looked at me and said: “I know exactly how you feel and what you are here for”. In my mind she transformed into an angel and felt the holy energy radiating out. Then she followed up with: “I’m SO sorry, our ice-cream machine broke”. I didn’t even say anything, I just stared at her, a tear pushing it’s way out of the corner of my eye. I mumbled something like “It’s fine, don’t worry about it”, turned around and walked out. I’m not even sure how I got home that day, I was just mentally destroyed. This was 20 years ago and I still remember that moment :'(
