OK: Let me get this straight: Trump’s idea to turn Gaza’s pile of rubble into a riviera is a “ dumb idea” but “Ukraine is one of our” ( America’s) “ best success stories.” What? The Ukraine war has killed hundreds of thousands of young men in Ukraine and in Russia! Trump made the point that the resettlement of the Palestinians in Gaza is a bad idea since it’s a hell hole no one wants to live in. Meantime, no surrounding Arab countries want the tribal, violent Palestinians in their countries. So rebuilding it beautifully might be a solution. So, what’s your idea Mr Thornton?
Ukraine is alive and kicking years after Russia’s invasion when they were supposed to last a week. They’ve not only survived but pushed the Russians back and taken territory inside Russia. They’ve weakened Putin’s regime. And all this without committing a single US or NATO soldier.
In contrast, Trump’s plan would directly commit American ground troops to and endless occupation for no good reason and no threat to the US.
I stand by both characterizations.
I don’t think there is a good option, but Trump’s idea is a horrible one that would needlessly cost American lives.
The best option - one that was obviously Biden's goal prior to Israel's counter-attack - was to put together an alliance of neighboring states to remove Hamas and administer Gaza/Palestine as a step towards an independent Palestinian state. This would likely have been mostly done by Saudi Arabia, who would have provided normalization with Israel in the exchange - and likely would have limited the extent of destruction and death in Gaza and Israel.
It's still likely the best option, though I don't expect that to happen.
Ignore it. It's an attempt to distract us from the coup. From the fact that all our data and all our government computers are in the control of a private citizen. We need to focus on the central issue, not get pulled willy-nilly by Trump's showmanship. Post this far and wide. We need to learn to stop reacting to the bait they throw out at us.
