Trumph’s “Peace” in the Middle East
Once again, Trumph is delaying effective measures to bring Putin to account for his criminal invasion and genocide of Ukraine.
Trumph’s “Peace Through Strength” is really “Death by a Thousand Phone Calls” regarding Ukraine.
Despite Putin’s humiliating slap in the face at the Alaska Sinkhole, Trumph, for reasons stated many times on this site, STILL refuses to impose the immediately effective economic sanctions and provide the requested weapons that would knock Putin on his ass.
Instead, Trumph is having another “Great!” “Productive!” phone call with his business partner in crime. A blind man can see that before taking any measure benefiting Ukraine, Trumph has to call Putin for instructions.
How absurd and feckless – how pro-communist- can Trumph get?
It’s grossly hypocritical for Trumph to threaten to cut off federal funds if communist Mamdani wins the mayoralty in NYC yet, he needs to call Putin, the communist dictator of Russia for his “feelings” about what to do with Ukraine.
Trumph actually joked about asking Putin how he would “feel” if he gives Ukraine cruise missiles. This while Ukrainian citizens are being murdered every day by Trumph’s business partner.
Trumph is truly a ‘Legend In His Own Mind.”
In reality, Trumph is really an Icon of Stolen Valor.
Trumph’s callous concern with peace in Ukraine is matched with his pretension as the only person who has achieved “Peace in the Middle East.”
Amazingly, this is the only thing I agree with “Mullah” Zohran Mamdani – It is “premature” to shower Trumph in garlands for what little so far has actually occurred in the Middle East.
Trumph’s blusterous claim on the Nobel Peace Prize for his alleged policy of “Peace Through Strength” is as valid as his specious claim to have made the “Greatest” trade deals in American history.1
Trumph’s claim for (of course) being the only person on the planet who could have brokered a treaty with Hamas reminds one of Charles de Gaulle’s triumphant appearance at the Arc de Triomphe. He was received with fawning adoration by the French masses as the Liberator of France after 3 1/2 years of oppressive Nazi occupation.
But who was the real “liberator” of France?
It was General Dwight D. Eisenhower and his Allied forces who stormed the beaches at Normandy and drove the Nazis back to the Rhine River.
MAGA Media is straining to keep their crutches under their Savior making much of Trumph’s unique ability to “unite” the entire Arab world to support a treaty “ending the war in the Middle East“.
Why would Arab leaders who only weeks ago walked out on Netanyahu’s UN speech now join Trumph at Sharm el Sheikh? Why would Qatar – the second largest supporter of Islamic terrorism in the Middle East suddenly support Trumph’s 20 Point Plan?
Because it benefits their agenda to keep Hamas viable as a regional destabilizer.
Just as Soviet Premier Khrushchev swore “We will bury you!” (and use US foreign economic aid to do so) on November 18, 1956, so will Hamas and its Arab supporters survive Trumph’s pre-mature “Peace“- and use Trumph’s 20 Points of Contention to do so.
Like his political egotistic twin, California Governor Newsom, Trumph provided Hamas and it’s supporters with 20 opportunities for wiggle room.
Hamas was at the precipice of extinction (thanks to Netanyahu) and the only way to continue the Long War against the Great Satan was to change masks – to appear to be all in for “peace” in the Middle East. This would preserve Hamas and allow their Muslim brothers time to restore muscle to the Hamas skeleton.
Trumph provided a pathway for Hamas survival. Trumph’s grotesque ignorance of international political reality is like a four year-old who runs out onto the field in the middle of an NFL play-off game wanting to play quarterback.
Hamas, their Arab and Russian sponsors, and the Political-Military-Industrial Complex owe Trumph a great debt of gratitude for their 20 Point reprieve from a well-deserved IDF hangman’s noose.
This hostage release is not historic.
Israeli hostages have been released before – after their Arab captors gained the maximum propaganda benefit. Previous hostage / prisoner exchanges have also been at the same percentage with Israel releasing convicted terrorists for Israeli hostages at the rate of at least 100: 1.
The only concrete result from Trumph’s efforts is the hostage release. Hamas held onto the hostages for two years, killed many of them, still haven’t released all the dead “hostages” and receive 2,000 of their own terrorists back from prison.
How does that translate into “Peace in the Middle East?” or “Ending the War in the Middle East?”
In the real world it’s Hamas 1 : Trumph 0
Trumph’s show of “strength” doesn’t show much muscle when one considers who is doing all the weightlifting – Netanyahu and the IDF; Zelensky and the Ukrainian people.
Trumph waited until Netanyahu handed him the Iranian nuclear sites butt naked and gift wrapped with a big pink bow before sending the bombers in on a veritable milk run.
Unlike Trumph and his hack SecDef Hegseth, Israel actually “obliterated” Iranian air defenses before Trumph sent in the bombers. The strike that supposedly “obliterated” the sites turned out to be only a six-month suspension of operations.
It wasn’t as if Trumph ordered B-17s over Berlin or B-52s over Hanoi.
Trumph is de Gaulle the imposter savior. Netanyahu and Zelensky are Eisenhower.
At least de Gaulle actually served in the French army during WW I and Netanyahu served as a special operations officer in combat.
America’s strutting peacock, Trumph, lied to avoid military service.
Little “Donnie” Trump is trying to play in the Big Leagues with no background or experience to qualify him for the A Team.
Trumph can’t fake “Strength” being a warrior when he’s spent his life being a coward right up to kissing Putin’s ass.
The “boos” from the adoring Israeli liberals at Trumph’s mention of Netanyahu only proves liberal ignorance and immense ingratitude are not American monopolies.
There was a good reason God kept the children of Israel from entering the Promised Land. He gave up trying to teach them gratitude so he waited until the generation He led out of Egypt had all died.
Just before he died, Moses called all the tribes of Israel together for his final “State of the Union” speech.
He berated the children of Israel for their constant bickering, repeated forgetfulness and ingratitude to God.
Moses exclaimed in exasperation “You have tried to kill me more times than our enemies!“3
Ingratitude apparently runs deep in the DNA of liberal Israelis.
Trumph has expertly exploited Netanyahu’s strength and courage in the face of almost universal condemnation stealing valor from the man who actually earned it.
Trumph has shown no such “strength” sufficient to restore peace in Ukraine because Zelensky hasn’t been able to set the stage for Trumph to walk in and take credit.
The one action that would ensure immediate strangulation of the Russian invasion – economic sanctions – Trumph is unwilling to impose. This in spite of Putin sending drones and missiles into Ukraine killing innocent civilians on a daily basis.
Why?
Because Zelensky isn’t the polished politician Hamas and their Arab brothers are. Zelensky isn’t skillful at massaging a megalomaniac’s ego as the historically duplicitous Russians and Arabs are.
And because Zelensky has never been business partners with Trumph – like Putin has for several decades.
The only presidents who ever convinced Arabs to permanently stop their predations were Thomas Jefferson when he sent the Marines to Tripoli and Ronald Reagan when he bombed Qaddafi’s tent.
They are the only two presidents who had the testicular fortitude to accomplish permanent “peace through strength.” They were the only two who were willing to pay the cost of real victory – not a cosmetic, temporary negotiated “peace.”
If there were any justice in the world, Netanyahu and Zelensky should win the Nobel Peace Prize – not Trumph.4

2 U.S. Secretary of State William Seward’ s 1867 purchase of Alaska cost even less – 2 cents per acre.
