CPslograd Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Trump proposes American takeover of Gaza Strip. Discuss! Quote
Hashbrowns Posted February 5 Posted February 5 America Second. Seems feasible if we are willing to spend a trillion dollars. Otherwise, dumbest idea he’s ever had. Quote
FresnoFacts Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Maybe he sees Gaza as an investment for the new sovereign wealth fund. Quote

You tell me what you think about America participating in ethnic cleansing so Trump can build some hotels on the Mediterranean, Bibi can gain natural gas rights, and Jewish extremists can appropriate more Palestinian land. it will forever be the legacy of the Republican Party who enabled it. 4 Quote

Akkula Posted February 5 Posted February 5 The leader of a free world shows up and spitballs ideas that would earn an 8th grader would be given an F for on their paper for lack of research and understanding. He calls Biden and other presidents a "laughingstock" the nerve! He is an utter moron. Yesterday Trump and MAGA Morons "America First!" "We need to shrink government and the deep state!" "I don't get us into foreign wars!" "We have been taken advantage of by NATO and fund their protection!" "Everyone in the world takes advantage of us!" "Spending money on foreign aid is a ripoff!" Today "We need to spend $1 trillion in foreign aid to buy into the hottest of hot wars and commit troops to the middle east for decades or centuries!" Saudi Arabia who wants to kiss Trump's ass is even like Are the MAGAs about to go into seclusion at this point after showing up here crowing after the election? Usually it is crickets from them here but they have been quite robust after the election. Time for a reversion to the status quo for them, I think. 1 1 Quote
mugtang Posted February 5 Posted February 5 I don't see how this is putting America first. As a friend pointed out to me yesterday, placing troops in Saudi Arabia indirectly led to 9/11. I'm pretty sure this will turn out similarly. Plus, you're just going to piss off the entire Middle East with this strategy. But Trump is apparently playing 4D chess while the rest of us are playing tic-tac-toe 1 Quote

The Barber Posted February 5 Posted February 5 We all know that Israel carpet bombed Gaza, with the support of the Biden administration. Not sure that this idea by Trump is the best solution. But what is an alternative solution to house the people in Gaza, and fix it? Wasn't it essentially leveled to rubble? What are the Democrats proposing to address this---maybe they have the better idea? Is the better idea to not get involved at all and let Israel address it? Maybe let China fix it? Looks like cities after WW2 in some places: 1 Quote

CoachKenFTW Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Anyone who is Jewish can become an Israeli citizen with all the rights of other Israeli citizens, including residence. So if the Palestinians want to a state to live in, all they have to do is convert to Judaism. 1 Quote

Looks like cities after WW2 in some places: Trump isn’t talking about rebuilding Gaza to house and rebuild the homes of the Palestinians who live there, he’s talking about forcibly removing them and rebuilding it for the Israelis to move into. You put American troops on the ground in Gaza to kick the Palestinians out and guard the rebuilding efforts and you’ll have thousands of dead American soldiers. Quote

Of course @halfmanhalfbronco is conspicuously absent from this thread after saying ethnic cleansing was never happening. Might be the most naive poster in board history. Quote
