Color me cynical

[Pototan]

Bibi Netanyahu stood in the way of the Biden administration's plan for a cease fire in Gaza and a return of the hostages. Bibi and Trump communicated often during the election season and Trump didn't want any Biden or Harris "win" on this issue.

Now, all of a sudden, the very same Biden deal that was initiated in May of last year is OK with Bibi and allows Trump to take the credit for all of Biden's hard work. It was an issue that dogged the Biden and later the Harris campaign, all to Trump's advantage.

I can agree with Trump about one thing. He thinks the average American voter is gullible and easy to manipulate. This is another example, IMHO, of just how easy for people with no moral character to pull it off.

Nixon tanking LBJ's Viet Nam peace plan in 1968, Bush using his CIA connections to hold off any deal with Iran to bring those hostages home before Reagan's election in 1980 that certainly helped tank Jimmy Carter.

We will find out the truth about the Gaza deal, eventually, but it will be too late and another win for the Republicans' ability to understand the naiveite of the American voter

1. Trump himself is proof voters are gullible and easy to manipulate

Trump and Bibi are two peas in a pod, absolute fucking scum

2. I think Bibi's behavior from the start was about costing Biden votes.

And polarizing liberals.

It was a successful plan.

[BComplex]

3. Biden calls Bibi his "friend". I can't believe he really thought Bibi was ever sincere.

Biden doesn't really comprehend Bibi's treachery.

[Irish_Dem]

13. I think we know who Bibi's real friends are.

His friends are enemies of the US.

I always felt Bibi was working to get Biden defeated, and I was correct it appears.

14. Bibi is doing so much more damage to the reputation of Israel than anyone else could ever do.

He's breeding hate in the region that I doubt Israel will ever recover from. He's making Israel less safe for future generations, as the hundreds of thousands of protesters in the streets of Israel have tried to convey to him.

He's as big a fool as trump, but a whole lot smarter, and more able to wield the forces of his power. Just another evil right wing dictator wannabe.

15. We see western democracies imploding.

On self destruct.

Who benefits and how?

[BComplex]

16. I'll tell you who benefits...

$$$$$$$$$$$
Billionaires
Oligarchs

[Irish_Dem]

17. And....

Russia, China, Iran, North Korea.

The global oligarchs, billionaires, and fascists leaders are all on the same side now.
They have united to form a global superpower.

12. Absolutely this! eom

4. Iran 1980 all over again, but worse.

[Buddyzbuddy]

5. Democrats got screwed on both sides of that war.

Diaper Dan and Netanyoohoo both won. And the Israeli and Palestinian people both lost. Now I'm concerned, except for those two, we will all lose again in America.

6. I guess the...

Silver lining in all this is that we won't be suffering for too long since the bioshpere will kill us off in the next eight to fifteen years.

8. Great post, Pototan. Does anybody on the planet NOT think that Bibi cost us the White House in 2024?

9. Don't forget M$Greedia's role

in facilitating the narrative .

10. Less US involvement is a thought.

[tetedur]

11. If the cease fire is to succeed it will be on Trusk to oversee.

The Biden administration supplied the road map. In a million years Trusk could never do that. All he knows is threats and bluster.
When the cease fire works and hostilities cease I'd be willing to give the Trusk team some credit.

There are parties on both sides who we all know don't want it to work. It is so easy to commit more atrocities to blow everything up.
I hope both sides can stop the killing.

If it doesn't work, will Trusk blame Biden? Of course.

19. Trump claimed that he would solve the problem during the debate.
