Trump's Board of Peace is off to a rocky start. The Arab countries on the receiving end of Iranian missiles and drones think that Trump brought this on them to serve Netanyahu....and they are less than happy about it. With the exception of the Netanyahu faction, no country is happy.
Trump's ignorance of foreign policy, and his lack of adult advisors, is coming home to roost, big time. The Republicans will either attempt to reign him in, or go down with him. Staying silent, as they are now, will not sell within a couple more weeks.
Local midterm Republicans who were kissing the ring recently, like Ryan Mackenzie, have no time left to recover. However, Senator McCormick, with his longer term, still has time to save himself. As Trump alienates the rest of the world and our former allies, like the UK, Republican leadership is needed in Congress, because it surely doesn't exist in the White House.
In national and regional news
ReplyDeleteTDS continues to ravage across the land. Our owe Bucks County gets a mention in a NYC terror attack and up to date information on the Trump admin can be found both on MOLOVINSKY on ALLENTOWN as well as on the Alan Jennings FB page.
As always be kind and respectful if you submit a comment for possible inclusion. The elder crowd is expecting an appropriate degree of respect, sweetness and light.
Let me do my part by reaffirming the existential threat posed by the Orange Devil, the possibility of a Treason Investigation and of course our common bond - !NO KINGS!
Together we will work to preserve Democracy.
It’s interesting that you give “advice” about Iran to our Republican senator, but not to our Democrat senator who also supports Trump’s action.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it’s not them who needs counseling, but rather YOU.
anon@6:55: I don't think in terms of R and D as much as you, but then few people do :). On that topic, Fetterman was the only D to support Trump's war. That will be an interesting D primary in 2029.
ReplyDeleteNo it won't Fetterman will get smoked. His favorables have completely flipped, PA GOP voters like him. Independents are mixed, and dems hate him. In a closed primary state, he doesn't have a shot as an independent and I doubt he's conservative enough for a GOP primary, but he will absolutely lose a dem primary. He's a man without a home now.
DeleteI suspect that it is only small percentage of elected officials who oppose war. Many will claim that position in the next election and will quickly be incorporated into war crowd. The gulf countries may have had their future prosperity limited. they all opposed the war, including the Saudi's who Lindsey Graham led Trump to believe in their support.
ReplyDeleteThe big winner is Russia, and contrary to the belief that it will hamper China, it will have more nations ally with china, possibly the gulf countries.
The worst decision by Trump, so far.
The Gulf States, indeed most Arab (i.e. non-Persian), Sunni (non-Shia) countries supported the U.S./Israeli incursion, either with enthusiasm in the case of the Saudis or tacitly in case of the overwhelming majority of the others. Iran is widely seen as the major threat to prosperity and stability in the region. To believe otherwise is delusional.
DeleteWith all due respect, Ray, sir, all the military equipment supplied by Russia and China has proven to be grossly inadequate, ineffective and all but totally useless.
DeleteTrump’s decisive leadership has put the Chinese on notice. DON’T FOOK AROUND!
The U.S. did not act decisively decades ago when N. Korea’s Dear Leader got nuclear weapons.
WAS THAT A WINNING PROPOSITION?
Virtually no one in the Middle East is looking to snuggle up with the Chinese regime at this point in time.
It’s all about the Abraham Accords thing. The Gulf States want pro-golf tours and La Manns racing along with economic prosperity beyond their dependence on oil, although they damn well mean to protect the oil production from the maniac Shia nut jobs…and they mean to protect their precious water desalination plants as well.
Iran exports terror and instability across the region and the world.
The Houthis, an ethnic group and Iranian proxies from the failed state of Yemen, racked by famine and civil war, supports the lunitic Iranian regime.
ReplyDeleteCool.
So do the Iranian proxies Hezbollah and Hammas.
Hey, who remembers when the Iranian terrorists blew up the USMC barracks in Beirut?
Yeah, I don’t remember that either.
The wealthy Gulf States want pro-gulf tours and Formula One racing, not Shia martyrdom madness and terrorism. The non-Arab speaking Iranians are the last people the rich Arab countries want!
ReplyDeleteNo country in the region and no sane country or individual wants a nuclear weapon in the hands of the crazy Mullahs.
THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP.
THANK YOU ISRAELI AIR FORCE!!!!!
anon@9:53,10:25,10;42 and again10:58: I don't believe that any Arab country, including the Saudis, wanted this war. You have expressed the same POV now four times..,future repetitions will not be published.
ReplyDeleteMM
DeleteEither you are completely ignorant about the facts or you’re choosing to lie to your readers.
No Sunni Arab country wants a Shia, Farsi speaking Iran with nuclear capability.
anon@12:39: I agree it's not their preference, BUT, likewise they did NOT want to be dragged into a war with Iran, and attacked by Iran. Likewise, they don't like our weapons being used in Lebanon and Syria by Israel.
ReplyDeleteI suspect your main motive to to defend Trump's decision, which apparently most Americans disagree with.
Mike, stop digging. The mad martyr obsessed Iotollias have zero friends in the Arab world.
ReplyDeleteTrump and the Israelis have done the courageous heroic dirty work to neuter the
overwhelming threat in the region and the world.
Do just five minutes of research.
Mr. Courageous anon@1:20: I'm sure Trump will have the proper courageous credit inscribed on his planned Arc Of Trump
ReplyDeleteTrump’s stared objective since Day One of his second term was to
ReplyDeleteeliminate the possibility of Iran holding nuclear arms. He achieved that. Trump also pledged to weaken Iran’s military enough to give Iran’s oppressed citizens an opportunity to retake control of their own government. He achieved that.
No amount of facts can penetrate the delusional thinking that accompanies TDS.
ReplyDeletePray G_d a cure is found to end the suffering.
anon@1:59: I hope he eliminated the nuclear threat, I don't think that we will be able to verify that.
ReplyDeleteThe government of Iran is essentially the same as it was.
It is generally considered a war crime to assassinate the leader of a country.
anon@2:00: a remedy will come this November, and a cure in 2028.
The next POTUS is either Vance or Rubio, but that’s obvious.
Deletelol neither of those guys will win a general after being tied to the albatross that is this admin.
DeleteWow, parrots of the media talking points.
ReplyDeleteWe are ALL parrots of media talking points, and you know that.
DeleteSimply not true.
ReplyDeleteSome of use scrupulously avoid corporate MSN including NPR and PBS.
Hopefully, also avoid the Morning Call, too.
DeleteDylan@8:48: As an independent, Fetterman skips the primary and still is on the November ballot with the proper signatures. That may well end up being his course. Being elected as an independent is difficult, but Fetterman would be viable.
