No, we should be telling them their current course of conduct will accomplish neither. Diplomatic blank checks are a bad idea. Just ask Wilhelm II.

Bambu, your advice is truly fucking terrible even for advice coming from an avowed complete and total moron like yourself. Please flush your andvice and yourself down the nearest open sewer before you do yourself any more reputational harm. I guarantee we will all think better of you for it once you do.

Have you watched "Screams Before Silence"?
No?
Then I suggest you do so, you might just change your attitude.
Antony Blinken is urging Israel to try to limit civilian casualties.

No one else will be sending anyone to free the hostages and kill/ capture Hamas terrorists.
Not South Africa, the UN, or anyone else.
Hamas could end the war tomorrow, but won't.
It's all up to Israel to go in and get them, the hostages and their torturers.


Neither Hamas nor the Lahanists in the Knesset give a fly8ng fuck about the hostages.

They care as little about hostages as republicans do about immigration.

Or Trump about abortion.

From the New York Magazine this week.

As it happens, a new survey of registered voters was released last week from Navigator Research showing that a sizable number of Americans, incredibly enough, held Biden responsible for the  overturning of Roe v. Wade and the elimination of the federal right to an abortion.
That opinion was held by 34 percent of self-identified independents, 32 percent of Black voters, and 42 percent of Hispanic voters. It helps explain why the Biden campaign is devoting so much energy to connecting the dots between the TrumpSupreme Court appointments and the Dobbs decision. But it also suggests public perceptions of Trump are very hard to change, and that is a big problem for Democrats.

The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Hollywood at the Charlie Chaplin Studio is closing down, they were previously in Pasadena, and they also have a campus in New York City, the AADA is the oldest professional acting school in the world, and this is so sad that they are closing in Hollywood, the actors will have to go to New York City now to train.

Of note, Newsom lowered taxes for producers so the entertainment industry jobs will be coming back to Hollywood, and we have USC film school, and Chapman film school where the actors can do student films etc. There is a lot in Hollywood for actors and it will get better. Sad to see the AADA leave.

Salute,

Tony V.

President Biden would gain tons of widespread public support by hanging, shooting, or drowning Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch and Alito so they no longer darken the bench of the US Supreme Court with their blatant corruption and record of solidly anti-constitutional opinions.

President Joe Biden
 
Just Now

I just imposed a series of tariffs on goods made in China:
25% on steel and aluminum,
50% on semiconductors,
100% on EVs,
And 50% on solar panels.
China is determined to dominate these industries.
I am determined to ensure America leads the world in them.

---------------

We need to be allies with China, we need to work together to cure Cancer and other diseases, and we need to send men to Mars together, and we need to be allies for peace in the world and healthy trade.

China is buying food from the USA and from Mexico, and they are buying Colombian Coffee now, and China is buying stuff from Australia, China needs to be our ally. And Muzi seems cool, she needs to do an interview with Playboy, and with Oprah to help make the peace between the USA and China.

And El Salvador is giving free citizenship to the homeless people from Hong Kong, and from Taiwan, and from China, etc, they can have new lives and opportunities in El Salvador.

We need peace and trade.

And my Apple Laptop was made in China, and it is very nice, they did a great job. We need to be allies with China. And we can sell them Sunkist products, and Spam, and frozen Tyson chicken, and Pork, the Chinese are the largest consumers of Pork, and we can sell them cheese, and as they make Apple products then we can send them food. We can also entertain the Chinese, we can run their entertainment industry, and they love the Americans on Tik Toc, etc. And we can build McDonald's in China, and Hard Rock Hotel and Casinos owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, etc, and 7-Elevens, etc. And Colombia is selling coffee beans to China, etc. We need to expand trade, we can send them avocados, and almonds, and wine, etc. The Chinese can drink Mimosas from California made with Andre Cold Duck and California Orange Juice, it is a Mimosa that all workers in China can afford, and I actually really like the Mimosas made with Cold Duck, and it is cheap for the starving actors and factory workers in China, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

"Go get 'em"!
No, we should be telling them their current course of conduct will accomplish neither. Diplomatic blank checks are a bad idea. Just ask Wilhelm II.

But it will accomplish both.
In "Screams Before Silence" (the screams of Jewish women and girls being tortured to death)...the young woman shown being released from a car in the first hostage swap tells all...all about how 'Muhammad' repeatedly raped her ... saying to her "I was good"?   the first time, she turned her head away, he then got angry and said "no food"...so every time he raped her she had to tell him he was good, to get food. She said others were also being raped.

That simply cannot be allowed to continue, it must be stopped, one way or another...and will be.
Hamas will be wiped out in Gaza...by Israel, no one else wants the job, or it will just resume attacking Israel from Gaza forever.

N9, it will not. The hostages that have been freed have only been freed in the type of prisoner swap Hamas has always agreed to through diplomacy. And everywhere Israeli troops have been but currently are not, Hamas has returned.

Which means that Hamas is much of the people.
The borders will need to be sealed, all the tunnels destroyed, the whole of Gaza flattened to bare earth, and every one of the people disarmed.
Then if a two state solution is proposed, the Palestinian state must be run and secured by Israel so that history doesn't repeat itself and Hamas or other Islamic terrorists take over the new Palestinian state.
Or a UN army runs and secures it.

Wouldn't a "Palestinian state...run and secured by Israel" actually be Israel?
