Was he blackmailed:
- when he called for military intervention in Iran in 1980?
- in 2010 when he wanted Kuwait to reimburse the US for liberating it in 1991 "for some a few very wealthy people" who despite this, didn't come to invest in the US"?
- in 2011 when he criticized the Obama administration's approach for not being aggressive enough and said "I would take the oil and stop this baby stuff. I’m only interested in Libya if we take the oil. If we don’t take the oil, I’m not interested."? Or when he bragged about screwing Qaddafi on a land lease, making him paid a fortune and not letting him use it? Or when he wanted to keep American troops in Iraq to grab their $1.5 trillion worth of oil as a "payment for the cost of the war" because otherwise "Iran would take it"?
- in 2013, when he made his views on the upcoming Israeli election and released a video with a glowing endorsement of Netanyahu?
- in 2015, when he said he would go after the oil fields in Iraq and Syria that nets the terrorist group millions of dollars a
week, "I would bomb the s--- out of them, I would just bomb those suckers"? Or when he slammed the just brokered Iran nuclear deal as "so bad for Israel and so dangerous"?
- in 2016 when he broke the embargo and started selling weapons to Ukraine?
Or when he said "They have suckered us" about Iran and that "the Iran nuclear deal is a disgrace"?
- in 2026 when he invaded Venezuela and kidnapped its President?
There was a good reason for
All Israel News senior Washington contributor David Brody to prize Trump for his
consistency on Iran, from 1980's call for intervention in Iran through nuclear "negotiations" to withdrawal from treaties, to military threats and, finally, invasion.
I believe that, same as indulging for his mistakes & wrongdoings, the opposite attitude can happen, which would be wrong too in terms of objectivity. Selecting a normal person's flaws & mistakes, and painting a whole from it (when it's not the case).
I have a positive feeling for him, so I would be more on the side of indulgence for his wrongdoings - but overall I am trying to look at the big picture, so, somehow, that he's "more or less not that negative" is sufficient for me. That's is due to the fact that he has been quite a stable President in the past.
So I think we must overall discern what is, and not over-indulge either his flaws or his positive traits - because it puts us off-track in both cases. It has been especially hard to do lately, because Trump has been a stable President during his first mandate. The problem IMO lies within the idea of putting into the box of the dark side so to speak. At worse, he would be a sort of STO/STS balancer I believe, if we were eager to attach some darkness to him. Take Hillary: she would be a more cristallized STS balancer.
Overall I am stunned to see Trump's popularity plunging like that. It is unusual. I think in looking at it makes us forget the real STS cristallizations.
I had a look back at the article
@Vulcan59 posted. I think it is interesting in the oddity of the relationship Jared Kushner seemingly had with Netanyahu, but that the author conflates all & everything and ends up putting all in the same bag.
For instance:
... become straight affiliated with
Which is very Kennedy-ish. I think it is Kennedy-ish because it is.
So the question would be to separate Trump from the contact with Rothschild.
Perhaps, what the USA needs is as simple as a sexologist.
(Is the above the illustration of "humans consorting with the bad side", as stated by the C's? Is Netanyahu a "Lizzie"?)
I agree with you that the things you've said on Trump are not okay. You know, that Russian guy, Medvedev... He said, not that long ago something going by "those freaking Westerners, inundated by immigration... Let them die by the murdering immigrates and we will spectate it, let them die and let Westerner women (...)". Same for the intellectual who lost his daughter... A. Dugin: "let the West die, explode and disintegrate... Good riddance they are all morons".
Honestly, those statement are as criminal as Trump's ones. Perhaps this is stupidity overall and the effect of a lack of coordination, or simply the effect of the pressure STS does - it turns people against each others and we loose track of the real problems.
When I read the Russian statements, I feel required to lower my standards on politics: no perfect guys, stupid people, absolutely uncaring of the people of the world. I am very disappointed.
I wanted to defend my point on Trump, but I accept that it would be strategical than to opt for your point of view. Somehow, when somebody is "touched by STS" he can become a vector and it requires quarantine. So, despite my endorsements of Trump, I think people ought to listen to themselves, follow their ideas and see where it leads to. I think listening to one self is the best thing to do, even when we are mistaking.
Honestly, the last session saying "he's terrified" gave me the last strength to support him again. If not, I would have perhaps left him. I cannot accept to put him in the "rubbish". I simply cannot proceed because there are elements attesting from a sort of mecanic pointing out to things that would deserve scrutiny, inquiries & things. Overall it would lead to an external root cause. So I think I will follow that road and see what comes up.
