    Are the non-alarmists alarmed yet? If not, when? What’s your red line?

    We couldn’t even build a pier in Gaza

    So it looks like someone next to Trump is actually taking foreign policy plans from Curtis Yarvin's essays: https://graymirror.substack.com/p/gaza-and-the-laws-of-war

    > Here is what the Israelis would do: cut off food, power and water to Gaza, do their best to give everyone a safe way to walk out unarmed, house them in spartan but livable conditions, and send the Gazans to another country—preferably one in which they speak the language.

    > ... And the site will be ready for development. Did I hear someone say “beachfront?”

    > .. [Israel] could collectively grant them a slice of equity in the new Gaza. The new Gaza—developed, of course, by Jared Kushner—is the LA of the Mediterranean, an entirely new charter city on humanity’s oldest ocean, sublime real estate with an absolutely perfect, Apple-quality government

    Remember Trump/Vance is the peace ticket. They will end the Ukraine war day one and won't let special interests drag the US military into any more conflicts (other than Gaza, the 51st state of Canada, Greenland, Panana, fighting the Mexican Cartels).

    All those people in Dearborn who voted for Trump, wonder how they’ll feel.

    Is there anything to be said for another 20 year war of occupation?

    Literally genocide.

    Continuation of neoliberal policies. The Biden administration having no spine (or desire) to stop Israel from blowing up children 24/7 has led to the logical conclusion of finishing the genocide with a dash of nihilistic capitalism allowing beachfront investment properties to be built in Palestine’s place, cementing the USA and Israel’s legacy.
