It's ridiculous. This is is the nicest gift anybody has gotten us since the Statue of Liberty. This is a grand gesture of friendship from leaders in a part of the world where we are in desperate need of good friends. The plane is a symbol and functional artifact of international cooperation and American engineering and manufacturing excellence. It will make a fantastic, educational museum piece for generations. Democrats just hate it when they don't hate the USA as much as Democrats do.

The Pharmaceutical companies would rather jack up the prices worldwide. And the fallout will be glorious.

I don't know how some of these European shitholes will manage to keep their socialized healthcare when they are paying US Prices for medications, and their defense budgets aren't being subsidized by the US.

Is this the most amazing 4d chess move he's ever pulled then?
-wins good will of people whining about med prices
-pharmas gonna pharma, jack up prices
-collapse EU faggots because their free healthcare is impossible to fund
-EU literally cannot afford migrants anymore even while sacrificing their own people
-send back migrants
-africa has no medicine either, population boom leads to violence, leads to disease, leads to death, spirals
-EU faggots go into more chaos, weakened, preparing for invading and dewokifying EU faggots
-united USA and EU take over depleted husk of africa

Its probably just autistic theory crafting, the the idea is hilarious.

Read the article I posted, it's a right wing Israeli look at why it's good

Oh I read it. That part you quoted when replying to me is me being in agreement. I think foreign aid is primarily used as a tool of diplomacy nowadays rather than providing actual help for the citizens of another state or providing any meaningful help. It likely just gets embezzled, or spent elsewhere in some sort of quasi-global money laundering scheme. If they lose 40 billion USD a year, they'll have to find alternate means to raise the shortfall. I'd just wonder if without said cash injection, Israel has no incentive to hold back on certain actions. Gaza might have enough land valuation to raise the shortfall/potential taxpayers living inside of it to raise the shortfall, for example. Two birds with one stone at that point, and no other military in the area can really oppose Israel (the only country dumb enough to try might be Iran, and they have to get to Israel through two other countries first) but who knows.

TMI, potentially, but I once wrote an essay in college (UK 'college' is like a mix between senior high school and pre-university to make it short) where I had to analyse a theme from a selection of books picked by the teacher. In the end, my essay on Heart of Darkness converted the blatant anti-colonialist message into a justification of why non-intervention and no foreign aid would be the best thing for Africa... I got a B.

canceled implies dissatisfaction, he is not going because Trump asked him to come with him on Trumps ME trip. big difference


this isnt new iirc he's always thanked qatar for their role in hostage deals

So he's not going to Isreal. He's tagging along with his boss on a round trip. Lmao. You're trying to jew the words. You still haven't watched the videos. Kino.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Bolton was fired/forced to resign

I've heard from a reliable source that John Bolton smells like sulphur.

Also, archive your shit my bruder.

I don't have anything to add right now.

You guys doing well?

On no account will a commie ever drink water and not without good reason.

Turkey can and they are a threat bc they sponsor Syria, there's a reason why Israel is grabbing land in Syria and trying to create a Druze buffer state.

You're trying to jew the words

sean parnell is "jewing" the words. the official assistant to the SECDEF is trying to downplay this and explicitly says that Hegseth will visit israel soon

but i guess your youtuber knows more than parnell

I think the Iran situation really did open old wounds with Netanyahu, as for the other stuff I don't know but we shall see. I think also the fact Trump's whole motto has been peace through strength, he clearly doesn't like what is going on with Gaza and told Netanyahu that much last week. I know it is hard for the Palestinian flag waving retards to understand, but Trump does not hate Muslims.

I like it, and honestly, anyone that tries to stop this, will probably end up at the bottom of a ditch somewhere on a lonely stretch of road. There are many, many people that have been waiting for this shit to happen for ages and only the actual Second Coming would stop them from taking care of anyone that would get in the way of this happening.

Netanyahu snubbed him for Biden. There is not much more to be said. Revenge is a dish best served cold. Very cold.

This better extend to private insurance drug prices (it won't) because my fucking insurance doesn't cover shit I need to not be miserable and the pharma charges like $1,000 a month for the fucking meds.

You might not be far off, minus some hyperbole.

Similar to Trump/Elon having a slight knock-on effect in the UK (the online safety bill couldn't be stopped because it had passed in 2023, but Trump managed to get it delayed by 3 months, in which I think some powers were actually retracted from Ofcom but that's a theory).

Getting rid of free healthcare would be a death sentence to any party that does it. No party in Europe would risk doing such a thing, whereas the pro-immigrant shit is just Left-wing kayfabe and typical Right-wing business catering. If it comes between harming the economy or shooting yourself in the head, they'll just choose the former. Immigration (legal and illegal) has done so much damage to the UK's budget that Labour proposed cutting 1 yearly payment (winter fuel allowance) to over 65s and making it harder to apply for disability — they got hammered in the polls, so anything that'd affect the free shit will do a lot of damage.

I wouldn't want to make any certain declarations, but if it results in healthcare spending exploding across Europe, you'd see mass political panic. This sort of thing honestly couldn't have come at a worse time for countries that clawed their way into power like the big 3 in Europe — Germany, France, UK — whose governments barely got into power as is, now they'll have to oversee all this. In order to maintain the healthcare system they'd have to raise taxes, which would coincide with sky high energy prices and a cost of living crisis that's affecting everywhere (expensive eggs isn't a US exclusive issue), so they'll need to do something to mitigate the costs, maybe through dealing with those who are both easy to remove and are a massive drain on it ( ). The only dampener on the prospect is I live in a place that'll get hit by it, which is also lessened somewhat by it potentially leading to actual positive change.

Politicians and Euros online will start flinging shit if this does come to pass and results in the above. I do apologise in advance for any politicians or notable Brits online who participate.

I'm sorry. But it's what must happen. On the plus side you have commie Labor in rn. They will suffer first.

Whats going to happen is this:

Hamas agrees to witkoff deal that Israel agreed to months ago but because the US offered it again "behind Israels back" they feel like they win

50-70 day ceasefire

10 live hostages will be released, 20 dead ones will be transferred

Bibi sneeds in his cuck chair

DETAILS OF THE IDAN ALEXANDER DEAL AND THE AFTERMATH from Israeli sources to C14:

- Idan Alexander's release will occur today between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. The exact time has not yet been determined - they are still working with the Red Cross and the mediators on the coordination and creating a safe corridor through which the release will occur.

- Hams threw in the towel to stop Operation 'Gideon's Chariots' at the last minute. It backed down from its demand to end the war. It has a very narrow window of time for negotiations to be conducted under fire, before the deadly maneuver begins.

- We agreed to negotiate based on the Witkoff outline and will send a delegation if the other side is serious about it. The goal is rapid negotiations that will test Hams's seriousness about a ceasefire, the release of terrorists, and humanitarian aid for a limited time.

- According to the Witkoff outline, the first phase involves a 45-day ceasefire in exchange for 10-11 live hostages and additional dead hostages. During the ceasefire, negotiations will be held on Phase B (which means ending the war and releasing all hostages. To this end, Israel demands the disarmament of Hams and the exile of the organization's leaders from the Gaza Strip

- Hams will not receive the aid. If there is aid, it will be transferred to the population only, with intermediaries involved. We will also demand that the medical condition, well-being, and nutrition of the remaining hostages be guaranteed after the first part of the deal.

- We always knew that any implementation of the Witkoff plan would begin with the release of Idan Alexander. There was no direct contact between Witkoff and Hams; there was an intermediary in the middle.

i called it. now the follow through to prove me right

Turkey can and they are a threat bc they sponsor Syria, there's a reason why Israel is grabbing land in Syria and trying to create a Druze buffer state.

True, but what might potentially prevent Turkey butting heads with Israel is that Israel is counted as a non-Nato ally, which might put Turkey's position in the alliance at risk if they were to oppose them on the same level as Iran. They're also opposed to Russia and actively went against them in Syria so they can't flee to CSTO. Iran and Turkey also have opposing interests. They'd otherwise be surrounded by a whole swathe of nations that have all the reason in the world to oppose them if they tried to start shit with Israel or attempted to muscle their way into the area (Syria was given a free pass since NATO wasn't friendly with Assad and they were a lesser of two evils compared to Russia politically). Funding or aiding those at war with Israel is more likely (just like Iran does with Hezbollah and such) but getting involved directly or being politically hostile to the same extent as Iran would probably not be in the cards.

Qatar probably sees how Trump and the Saudis are cool and play Sega at each other's homes despite their parents not really liking each other and they want to be cool so they give the cool kid the cool toy.

turkey is too retarded to care

also offtopic but along the lines of porn

why are casinos like fanduel sending me offers through the mail? I don't gamble and i hate gambling. It's a severe addiction

people here are talking about porn but gambling is far more destructive. imagine if it was legal for companies to send you mail with girls spreadeagle urging you to sign up regardless if the person at the address has problems like an addiction they are trying to get over

it pisses me off

 

[HOMO FOR LIFE RETURNS]

Turkey may become a super power in the future but America seems to be building a coalition of Arabs as a deterrent and willing to throw Israel under the bus in order to accomplish it....and by america, I mean trump...

Is Trump gonna get JFK’d for daring to not suck on the circumcised cock of Israel?
