Not a hate-reader, but a retired military officer (USMC) and someone who's been watching geopolitics for fifty years.

Netanyahu has been saying Iran was a few months away from having nuclear weapons for more than twenty years. It's always impending - "Be afraid! Be very afraid!" - and he always has a poster on an easel to point at but never shows any actual evidence.

I'm not an isolationist. For example, I think we ought to be giving Ukraine a hell of a lot more support, honoring the promise we made to guarantee their territorial integrity in exchange for them giving up their nukes. I also believe in Israel's right to exist at peace with neighbors.

Nonetheless, Bibi Netanyahu has been duping and using the U.S. for way too long.

When I was a kid, one of my little brothers would pick a fight and then try to hide behind me. That's Netanyahu. If my brother was genuinely being victimized, I protected him, but if not, I made him fight his own fights. That's what we need to do.

Incredible. This is an olive branch to the fringes of society. An appeal to see through the fog of your personal beliefs, in the interest of absolutely everyone concerned. Trump is out of control. He is not intelligent enough to to play a leading role on the world stage. At the end of the day, he will sell out every special interest group that supported him, in exchange for 30 pieces of silver. Trump couldn't care less if you are a minority, a white supremacist or a Christian zealot, because to him, you are all just marks in the greatest con of all time. Cut your losses and dump the chump, before he sets the entire world ablaze.
