Fulmination, Fury, and Futility, by Robert Gore

U.S. insanity is playing out twice again in its wars with Russia and Iran. If a symptom of insanity is an inability to distinguish between reality and one’s self-generated illusions, coupled with an insistence that the world play along with those illusions, then Trump is symptomatic, which makes him quite dangerous.

    I would like to see Trump get out of the Ukraine mess by pulling support for Ukraine and negotiating a deal for Eastern Ukraine (mainly Russian ethnicity and language) to be its own nation. Forget about making the new Ukraine a member of NATO. Or just pull out and just say "goodbye" to the whole thing. However, he seems to be getting deeper and deeper into the swamp.

    I noticed the article doesn't have any criticism of the "We love death more than you love life" Hamas crowd. They are a barbaric organization stuck in the 7th century that can only be kept in check by giving it a seriously bloody nose. That's a mess, too, which is hard to deal with humanely.

      No, I confined my remarks to the "We love death more than you love life" Israeli crowd. It has inflicted a hell of a lot more than a "seriously bloody nose" on the Palestinians, most of whom are not members of Hamas. By their own words and videos, the Israelis have admitted that they are making no effort to deal with this "mess" humanely. Many of them are proud of that fact.

        If memory serves, Palestine was offered independence as a sovereign nation on
        thousands of square miles of land more than 2 decades ago and their leaders refused.
        If I was offered thousands of miles of wasteland in the American west today as a
        sovereign nation, I bet I could get 10-20 million people and hundreds of billions of
        fiat dollars committed to that country in less than 30 days.
        Palestinian leaders didn't even bother with that opportunity; they just wanted more death to Israel.
        Are Israel's leaders actions deplorable and mass murder? Yes. The same is true of those who lead Palestinians.
        To hell with them both.
        If foolish (mostly leftist and jewish) people want to send their personal funds to Israel, let them.
        If foolish people want to send their personal funds to support Palestine, let them.
        If any of that money is traced to proven terrorism by ANY group, sovereign or not,
        shut them down and arrest the leaders for conspiracy to terrorism.

        It all goes back to oil.
        The middle east has held America hostage for 5 decades and no American leaders have done anything to put an end to it.
        Encouraging power generation from coal and nuclear could have ended this issue decades ago.
        D.C. is a sewer and will NEVER do anything for honest Americans.

          "...Palestine was offered independence as a sovereign nation on thousands of square miles of land more than 2 decades ago and their leaders refused." Furthermore Gaza has been demonstrated to be a choice piece of real estate on the Eastern end of the Mediterranean which could serve as both a prime vacation spot for world travelers and a world class port facility to support a very successful economy benefiting the whole population. However, the elected leadership (Hamas) has chosen a path of bombing their neighbor and orchestrating other barbaric acts.

          If we had simply stayed out of the Middle East, we would have developed our own oil resources. If we had need for any Middle East oil, we could have said that we would pay the market price for oil up to X quantity million barrels. Somebody in the Middle East would have sold it to the world's biggest market. What can they do with it, eat it? Both the U.S. and the Middle East would have been much better off than they are now if we had followed that course. This is not 20/20 hindsight; I said the same thing right after 9/11, before the U.S. had gone into Afghanistan. The general premise stretches back to pre-1948.

        "...Palestinians, most of whom are not members of Hamas." Doesn't matter since they voted overwhelmingly to put Hamas (sworn to kill Israel and all Jews) in power and continue to support it. They are getting what they voted for. I don't recall Israelis voting to be rocket bombed or taken hostage. If Canada or Mexico were constantly rocket bombing US civilians, how long do you think it would take to turn those places into wastelands - their civilians be damned?
