What you say about Columbus, vis-a-vis race hustlers and lefties, could just as easily be said about George Washington and the recent attacks on him. With Washington they overreached and failed. Columbus was lower-hanging fruit, and many statues of him were destroyed in the name of "re-educating" us and canceling that part of our history. Into that vacuum came a 'National Day" honoring a notorious sexual predator; and soon our $20 bills will be adorned by a turbaned slave. "O brave new world. That has such people in't"

Give it up, man. Your canned pro-Israel narrative and talking points have lost all credibility in the face of the well-documented atrocities committed by this genocidal, apartheid regime.

When everything else fails, play the chemical weapons/nerve agents card. It's a sure sign of desperation.

Not a chance. Israeli power is too deeply entrenched in government and media, not to mention well-funded pressure groups that promote the Zionist agenda 24/7. Another catastrophic war for Israel isn't going to put an end to that. Only with a fundamental change in American attitudes will there be a beginning toward anything like a return to sanity in US foreign policy.

Suppoting two wives can't be easy. That's about as good a reason as anybody could think up.

Compared to the unholy alliance between Trump and Zionist Israel, even a molehill would look like high ground.

Now the "unintended consequences" are beginning. The craven subjection to the interests and expansion of Israel has been a disaster for the USA.

Zionist Apartheid Israel should be subjected to a comprehensive economic, cultural, and academic boycott by every country in the world that has any sense of decency.

Spot on. It goes back a lot longer than "Novorossia" to Kievan Rus, which existed before the Mongols changed Central Asia forever.

That ain't so, Ted. Russia is a nuclear-armed superpower with a history that goes back to 862 AD and the establishment of the Rus State by the Varangians. In 882 they occupied Kiev, creating a state that united the northern and southern lands of the Eastern Slavs. Kiev had become the governing centre by the end of the 10th century and remained so until the Mongol invasions of 1237-40.

A "positive signal" for whom? Surely not the women, children, and non-combatants who are dying in the rubble of Gaza or being driven from their homes in the West Bank.

The Gaza genocide has made the Zionist state an international pariah. That fact is brought to attention every time an Israeli official visits another country.

Agreed. Trump was elected on a platform of keeping us out of these unwinnable foreign wars. He has been a total failure in that regard no matter what his success has been with closing the southern border.

Spot on. My anology between a pussy-like Egypt and what might become of Iran was much too optimistic. Your take is more plausible. Just look at the disasters inflicted on other countries in the region by the US/Israeli juggernaut.
