Mike Waltz Warns Hostage-Takers: “Bullet in Your Damn Forehead”
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I don't believe in simplistic imaginary explanations. Israel and Hamas have antagonistic position and the negotiation process is complex. The U.S. or other countries can influence it but only to some extent, as the recent halt of negotiations confirmed. And it's a process. -

Of course, in MAGAs' imagination, in case they are released it will be thanks to Trump, but if they aren't it will be Biden's fault! 😆 -
Trump’s Opportunity to Redefine U.S.-Qatar Relations
candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
That's how Hamas has been funded for years: "In 2018, Qatar began making monthly payments to the Gaza Strip. Some $15 million were sent into Gaza in cash-filled suitcases – delivered by the Qataris through Israeli territory after months of negotiation with Israel. The payments started after the Palestinian Authority (PA), the Palestinian government in the Israeli occupied West Bank that is a rival of Hamas, decided to cut salaries of government employees in Gaza in 2017, an Israeli government source with knowledge of the matter told CNN at the time. What did Israel know about Hamas’ October 7 attack? The PA opposed the Qatari funding at the time, which Hamas said was meant for the payment of public salaries as well as medical purposes. Israel approved the deal in a security cabinet meeting in August 2018, when Netanyahu was serving his previous tenure as premier." https://edition.cnn.com/2023/12/11/middleeast/qatar-hamas-funds-israel-backing-intl/index.html As I know you may be tempted to reply with your usual MSM conspiracy B.S., here's another source providing the same information. https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/ -

In any case, it makes sense as the next administration may need to go on negotiating (in case this round fails), or will supervise the implementation if they achieve a deal is reached before the inauguration. -

Apparently, it may break down again. https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20241225-israel-hamas-trade-blame-ceasefire-impasse-qatar As the negotiation process, it appears that both outgoing and incoming admistrations are collaborating on this issue, as they have the same objective. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2024/11/14/biden-asked-trump-hostage-deal-middle-east/ https://edition.cnn.com/2024/12/10/politics/gaza-israel-hamas-ceasefire-biden-trump-backing/index.html -
Horse dewormer, hydrochloroquine, vaccines are not safe, etc... Are you serious? Your claims are not supported by the scientific community. You are just parroting the propaganda fed to you. Exoerts used by WHO are usually provided by their resprctive natioal health organisations. That includes countries such as the U.S., Germany Japan. etc... The experts you indirectly mentioned have been discredited in their own country.

What are those mysterious diplomatic sources? -

To start with, no hostage has been released yet. There are ongoing negotiations involving Hamas, the Israeli government and the U.S. government. Trump is not at all part of these negotiations. Hopefully, it will succeed! -

It's still just a MAGA fairy tale that Trump caused the release of hostages.... -
Who Is Controlling the Budget Bill? Trump, Johnson, or Musk?
candide replied to John Drake's topic in Political Soapbox
He didn't knew it wouldn't be approved. The bill with removing the debt limit (the second one), as required by Trump, was submitted and rejected. I see you also got fooled by Musk tweets claiming that the salary increase was 40%. Musk was shamelessly lying, as expected, and you believed him. 😆 https://www.factcheck.org/2024/12/congress-not-proposing-to-give-themselves-40-raise/ And here's one good reason for Musk to reject the first bill: The spending agreement released Tuesday included a bipartisan provision to limit and screen U.S. investments in China, among dozens of other proposals attached to the 1,500-page bill. As the CEO and largest stockholder in Tesla, Musk has extensive business connections to China. The company operates a major manufacturing plant in Shanghai and has sought to build deeper connections with Chinese companies. https://thehill.com/business/5051709-musk-delauro-spending-bill-china/ -
You are making stuff up. The warning you pointed out was about faksified vaccines as clearly expressed. AstraZeneca was the second vaccine approved by WHO in February 2021. It was lso included in the COVAX initiative. WHO is by definition a forum in which what you claimed was not discussed was actually discussed. The functioning of the WHO was certainly not perfect, but it didn't happen as you claimed it did.

candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
How do you know that? 🙂 I checked the latest news about it and there's no mention of a sudden release of hostages. Just a difficult negotiation, in which Trump is not involved, which may (hopefully) succeed. https://www.timesofisrael.com/hostage-negotiators-returning-to-israel-from-qatar-for-internal-deliberations/ -

I don't know, as I am not privy to the negotiations. My point is that the threats made by Trump are peanuts compared to the (more than) threats by the Israeli. What can Trump do which can be worse than the past and current decimation of Hamas by Israeli? -

It confirms that your explanation for the release is a MAGA fairy tale. -

candide replied to Social Media's topic in World News
That's a fairy tale for the gullible. Those guys already have a target on them and they know (as you do) how effective the Israeli can be. They know that whenever the Israeli find them, they will be terminated. Trump's threat is peanuts for them compared to the proven ability of the Israeli to eliminate terrorists. -

So they haven't been deterred by Israeli threats (and proven ability) to retaliate, but they would have been impressed by vague threats from Trump, months before he would come to power! Indeed, a nice MAGA Christmas tale,....
