First it wasĀ buy Greenland, thenĀ make Canada a state. Now Donald Trump wants to own the Gaza Strip.

The President proposed on Tuesday that the U.S. should ā€œownā€ the Gaza Strip, ā€œlevel the siteā€ and develop it, explicitly calling for displacing 2 million Palestinians from their homeland as the regionā€™s leaders struggle to maintain a fragile ceasefire.

During a wide-ranging press conference with Israelā€™s Prime MinisterĀ Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump laid out a sweeping plan for the U.S. to colonize Gaza and build resorts there. ā€œI donā€™t want to be cute. I donā€™t want to be a wise guy, butā€”the Riviera of the Middle East. This could be so magnificent,ā€ Trump said.

    I think weā€™re just being pedantic about the word ā€˜frontā€™ and are actually agreeing? Iā€™m not saying theyā€™re playing 4D chess or that weā€™re living in a movie, Iā€™m only trying to make a point that theyā€™re attempting to overwhelm the media so that we donā€™t know which attacks are feigned punches or immediate threats. Obviously they still want to punch the shit out of everything.

      so that we donā€™t know which attacks are feigned punches or immediate threats.

      No, weā€™re not agreeing, because you still seem to be under the impression, at least from the part I just quoted, that any of this is a feint. Itā€™s not. Theyā€™re doing bad things because they want to do bad things. None of it is a feint, all of it is the main attack. Where they win, they win, where they fail theyā€™ll just keep on trying.
