He was beaten at random and without warning, sexually assaulted, forced to watch as other hostages were beaten and assaulted, starved and humiliated, forced to make Hamas videos, spat on and forcibly shaved. He said he was kept alone in a locked room for six months.

The barrage of accusations is intense, relentless, and seems to have neither beginning nor end. But are the charges true? Do women really have a worse time of it than men? This volume, one of the very few in any language, takes on these questions head on. Roaming far and wide, it examines many aspects of the problem as it has presented itself from the time of ancient Egypt right down to today’s most advanced Western societies. To anyone accustomed to the tsunami of feminist claims and complaints, the answers will come as a surprise."

Because while Hegseth may have his own interventionist tendencies, the neocon wing of the Trump's staff hate him for questioning some of their "party line," so they want him gone. Meanwhile, you have Hegseth staffers who have been fired for "leaking," only to go on Tucker Carlson and accuse their former colleagues of framing them for similar reasons. So now that Signalgate failed to get Hegseth himself fired, the neocons are using similar tactics against Hegseth's staffers so that he is surrounded by nobody but ideologues in the Pentagon. If they can't break him, they'll try to re-make him. Absolutely disgusting. Trump shouldn't have reassigned Waltz to the UN, he should've straight up fired him.

| |
| − | Jack Hunter at ''The American Conservative'' contends that Signalgate was no accident, that Michael Waltz and Jeffrey Goldberg have indeed been in cahoots, given both their prior joint appearances and their shared interest in promoting neoconservative ideology. He also contends that "a true ‘America First’ foreign policy and neoconservatism are incompatible," and that it is time that President Trump stop deluding himself into believing otherwise. In Hunter's opinion, Trump should've done what Hunter suggests Trump do now, a long time ago. But alas, Trump is a forgiving man. He has given the neocons more than enough chances to work with him so they could together develop a policy which could make both sides happy. However, the neocons have blown every chance Trump has given them, and Signalgate should be the final straw.
| |

| |
| − | In his article, Hunter calls for Trump to do a "neocon purge." And although Hunter ultimately stops short of outright stating a detailed strategy, from my perspective he gives a good idea of what Trump's base should demand that Trump do on their behalf. This implied strategy consists of four tasks:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *1. Revoking his nomination of Waltz as UN Ambassador, and instead booting him out of the administration altogether.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *2. Firing Marco Rubio.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | *3. Revoking his endorsement of Lindsey Graham's re-election campaign, and instead endorsing one of his primary challengers.

| − | ==May 8 Victory Day?==
| |
| − | The [[Cold War]] began almost as immediately as surrender documents were signed by [[Nazi Germany]]. The [[UK]] violated the agreement made by the [[Allies]] at the [[Teheran Conference]] not to accept a separate peace. While the [[Red Army]] battled German forces in the streets of [[Berlin]], UK forces accepted a formal signed surrender document from Hitler's designated successor Adm [[Doenitz]] in north Germany on May 8. The same night just before midnight, commander of German forces Gen [[Jodl]] surrendered to Soviet forces in the capital of Germany, Berlin. The news was reported to Moscow, which is 3 hours earlier, after 2 AM. So the Soviet's proclaimed [[May 9]] [[Victory Day]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This inability of "the Allies" to keep agreements and even agree on when [[World War II]] ended marked the beginning of the [[Cold War]]. Now [[President Trump]] by official proclamation declares May 8 "Victory Day". This is highly insulting to Russian families who made the sacrifice and lost family in the war. Trump knows this, or should know this. Unfortunately, it unofficially marks the beginning of [[Cold War II]], and is readily an admission of President Trump's failure to keep his promise to end the NATO [[proxy war]] in 24 hours or 100 days. Biden's War, begun by [[Obama]] in 2014, is now Trump's war. [[Bannon]] was right.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Bottomline: Trump didn't have to make a formal proclamation, but he did anyway. Going forward, the Russians can only interpret this as bad faith out of spite. Between [[FDR]] saying "no separate peace" or Papa Bush promising "not one inch east", the Russians have no confidence in Western, UK, or American words, written or oral promises.

Number one, I think if you're in Russia today, which is of course the principal remnant state left over from when the Soviet Union collapsed, this is deeply offensive. Just think about the sacrifice that Russia/the Soviet Union played to defeat [[Nazi Germany]]. And here you have [[President Trump]] disrespecting that great sacrifice, disrespecting this country. But furthermore, when Trump makes comments like that which are so at odds with the historical record, it really cast doubt or doubts on his judgment. It's truly remarkable that he would make such a foolish statement. Someone who is the president of the [[United States]] should simply know better. And I know that we've reached the point where we just say "Well this is Donald Trump, and you know he just says a lot of outrageous things". He contradicts himself from one day to another, and it really doesn't matter because it's just Donald Trump and everybody understands that. But I don't believe that's true. I think it says a lot about his judgment. And I think it says a lot about whether you can [[trust]] the man because he's saying one thing one day and another thing another day. And much of what he says is simply not true. So if you're a foreign leader, and you're looking at the United States and you're thinking about how to deal with Donald Trump, you have to scratch your head and say "Is he a reliable negotiating partner?" And I think the answer in most cases is no.}}

| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Mearsheimer:''' Yeah, I saw that clip. And he also says in the clip President Trump, that it's only because of him that they haven't taken all of Ukraine. Uh, I mean this is delusional, on both counts. First of all, there is zero evidence that the Russians have been interested in conquering all of Ukraine. Just zero evidence. They don't have the capability to do that. And furthermore, the idea that they were bent on it and Donald Trump stopped them is kind of a laughable argument. The guy has been in office only since January 20th and he certainly has not stopped them in that.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Judge Napolitano:''' What does this tell you about either his understanding of the relationship between Ukraine and Russia or his listening to [[neocon]]s whispering in his ear, or his political chicainery with the rest of us? Maybe he wants us to think that [[Putin]] wants all of Ukraine and when he ends up with just [[Crimea]] and the four oblasts Trump will take credit for having saved the rest of Ukraine. Who knows what's going through his mind. But there is no evidence, whatsoever, from anywhere on the [[planet]] that Putin wants all of Ukraine.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Mearsheimer:''' Exactly. And this gets back to his claim the other day that we won both [[World War I]] and [[World War II]]. When you hear those kind of comments, you say "What planet is this guy living on?" This just makes no sense at all.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Judge Napolitano:''' How does this play in the [[Kremlin]], Professor Mearsheimer, when he makes a statement like this?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Mearsheimer:''' Well, I think that it basically means that you don't know what Trump is really thinking because he changes his tune from day to day. So you really can't trust anything he says. And furthermore, even if you get a deal, let's say we work out a deal. How much faith can you put in him to keep that deal and to not walk away from it at some point? So this is a huge problem for us in terms of dealing with the [[Russian]]s. And, by the way, it's also a huge problem for us in terms of dealing with the [[Iranian]]s. You know, the Iranians remember very well that he walked away from the [[JCPOA]] which they thought was an agreement that was going to be kept by the [[United States]]. But Trump walked away. And if the Russians cut a deal with Trump, and they make concessions to Trump to get that deal, can they trust that he won't welch on the deal shortly thereafter? And the answer is, no. And this really gets in the way of negotiating a settlement.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Judge Napolitano:''' So in the past 10 days Trump has claimed that the United States was largely responsible for defeating [[Nazi Germany]] and not the Russians. He has claimed that Russia has lost over a million men in the Ukraine conflict, and he has dispatched [[General Kellogg]], yet again. And I'll play a clip from him just yesterday to offer a [[peace]] plan that he knows is dead in the water. What does this tell the Kremlin?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Mearsheimer:''' Again, it tells the Kremlin that his policy is incoherent. That there's just, you know, no clear policy objective. And no strategy for achieving that objective. I mean, what else can the Kremlin conclude? I mean, the Kremlin has a vested interest in playing nice with Trump and not picking a fight with him, and pretending that they're still willing to work out a deal. But I would imagine that behind closed doors the Russians are thinking that we can't place much faith in Trump. And even if we get a deal, we can't place much faith in that deal. What we have to do is we have to position ourselves on the battlefield in ways that ensure our security once the shooting stops and you get a frozen conflict.}}

| − | I've had a love-hate relationship with President Trump ever since he came down that escalator. I initially refused to take him seriously, then I tolerated him, then I hated him because of his attacks on Ted Cruz. In hindsight I'll admit he was right about Lyin' Ted. Shortly before the election I came around and voted for him. And I was initially pleasantly surprised. But then he began hiring neocons like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, and allowing them to hijack his foreign policy. He also put a knife in the economy by promoting and signing the CARES Act, which is a major reason inflation has been such a problem in the post-COVID era. So in 2020, I voted third party. However, I was always open to give Trump another chance in case he decided to run again and demonstrated that he learned from his first term mistakes. On Election Day 2024, I was confident he had learned from those mistakes, so I voted for him once again. Six months later, it's becoming more and more apparent that I was wrong. He hasn't learned from those mistakes. And no event makes that more evident than [https://apnews.com/article/ahmad-alsharaa-trump-syria-bashar-al-assad-6facdef5b881286955b95e0c5b2704d7 his decision to normalize relations with the al-Qaeda regime in Syria].

| − | Following up in response to Trump's meeting with al-Jolani. Here's what I think is going on.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Middle East is currently divided into three camps. One led by Iran, one led by Saudi Arabia, and one led by Turkey. Iran and Saudi Arabia are bitter enemies, while Turkey is a "swing power" which goes back and forth between aligning with Iran against Saudi Arabia, aligning with Saudi Arabia against Iran, and opposing both countries.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Between 2011 and 2016, Turkey was firmly aligned with Saudi Arabia against Iran. Their alliance began to deteriorate after the successful coup in Egypt, and collapsed completely following the attempted coup in Turkey itself. While they both continued to support the Syrian jihadis against Assad, they no longer trusted each other and from that point forward treated each other as enemies rather than allies. Meanwhile, Turkey attempted rapprochement with Iran, with limited success.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Then last December, the Syrian jihadists finally overthrew Assad. The Turkish-Iranian rapprochement collapsed, leaving Turkey with just two allies in the region: Qatar and the new Syrian regime. Meanwhile, post-Assad Syria became a potential flashpoint between Saudi Arabia and Turkey as the new regime's loyalties are tested. At this time, it appears to be more aligned with Turkey than with Saudi Arabia.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Enter Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Both seek to normalize relations with post-Assad Syria, defying the long-standing conventional wisdom concerning their foreign policy. However, it appears that they are seeking normalization for completely different reasons. Trump's main concern is containing Iran, he is thus is willing to overlook past transgressions so he could expand the Abraham Accords to include radical Sunni regimes like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, and post-Assad Syria. On the other hand, Putin's main concern is eliminating American influence in the region. The primary target of this policy is Saudi Arabia, he is thus willing to overlook past transgressions so he could forge an anti-Saudi alliance led by Turkey and Iran.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To summarize, Turkey, Qatar, and post-Assad Syria a swing bloc. Trump and Putin are competing for their favor, in the process abandoning their long-standing policies against Sunni extremism. I personally find it really embarrassing to watch, and I say that in an just world their efforts would blow up in their faces. But this world is not nor has it ever been just.

He now says it's '''a priority''' for the US to prop up the al-Qaeda regime in Syria, lest the country descend into another civil war, which could be as little as just weeks away. At this point, I've just about had it. I regret voting for Trump. And if we end up supporting this new regime in any future conflict, I'll be calling for his impeachment.

I've always believed that he is a stealth fanatic masquerading as a reformer so he could make his country more effective at waging jihad. So I'm not at all surprised that he's pushing Trump to do this. The sooner Iran takes out the Saudi regime, the better. As for Israel, Netanyahu has completely destroyed any goodwill I've ever had for Israel, possibly forever. One thing's for certain, as long as he, Likud, or any similar political movements are in charge, I will never support Israel again. In fact, I'm tempted to start supporting the Palestinians (but not Hamas, as they also support the Syrian regime).

It comes as his agenda back home is facing new challenges, and as he's planning for direct phone calls with the leaders of Russia and Ukraine on Monday. Against that backdrop, I sat down with his former Vice President Mike Pence on Friday at his home in Indiana.
| + | :[[Trump]]'s continued anti-[[Iran]] bluster is just [[BS]] for [[domestic]] consumption (as the US gradually turns tail, declares "victory", and runs). People familiar with the matter say the [[US]] has agreed to funnel $8 billion to [[Iran]] through [[Qatar]] as the cutout. What remains to be [[negotiate]]d is the toll fee through [[Hormuz]].

| − | Well, I think first we've got to remember who Qatar is. We've got a military base there. I have members of our immediate family that have deployed to the region. But Qatar has a long history of playing both sides. They support Hamas. They supported Al Qaeda. Qatar has actually financed pro-Hamas protests on American campuses across the United States. So, the very idea that we would accept an Air Force One from Qatar I think is inconsistent with our security, with our intelligence needs. And my hope is the president reconsiders it. I think if Qatar wants to make a gift to the United States, they ought to take that $400 million and plow it into infrastructure on our military base.
