Those who purchased and invested time in reading Donald Trump’s ‘The Art of the Deal’ should exercise caution.
The balance is finally shifting. For the first time in decades, the trajectory of history is no longer bending in Israel’s favor.
Outside of a small number of dissenting voices, there is no sustained institutional effort to check presidential power. Congress has not mobilized in any meaningful way.
Trump’s attack on Macron reflects a deeper crisis as war contradictions mount and allies become targets of blame.
The US-Israeli war on Iran is a geopolitical catastrophe shaped, in no small part, by the psychology of a leader unwilling to confront the consequences of his own disastrous decisions.
Joe Kent’s resignation is not an anomaly but an alarm: elite dissent is surfacing early because this war is built on deception.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appears to have little patience for questions that do not conform to his preferred style of declaring unsubstantiated victories, whether against South Americans or in the Middle East.
Israel and the US launched war expecting dominance, but shifting geopolitics and regional resistance are reshaping power across the Middle East.
The main hurdle remains Washington’s refusal to acknowledge that the massive shifts reshaping the global geopolitical map are irreversible.
Regardless of the November results, much of the outcome is already predetermined: a wider social conflict in the US is inevitable. The breaking point is fast approaching.
The Board of Peace is not about reconstruction or justice, but about exploiting Gaza’s suffering to impose a new US-led world order, first in the Middle East and eventually beyond.
In my latest article, I examine the unpredictable nature of Trump’s Middle East policies, particularly on Palestine, and analyze the potential impact of his second term on U.S. relations with the region.
In a recent interview, Dr. Baroud emphasized that Trump holds no real leverage over the Palestinian people.
It is time for the Arabs to prove to Israel that the lessons of history have been learned, and will never be repeated.
Trump and his new government of pro-Israel extremists must realize that the Middle East of today is different from the one that rushed to normalize relations with Israel during his first term.
Millions of Americans took notice and acted upon their sense of collective rage to punish the Democrats for what they had done to the Palestinian people.
Trump’s politics is abashedly Machiavellian. During his only term in office between 2017 and 2021, he served the role of the American genie, granting Israel’s every wish.
Until Palestinians revamp their problematic leadership or formulate a new kind of leadership through grassroots mobilization in Palestine itself, they should at least attempt to liberate their foreign policy agenda from factionalism, which is defined by a self-centered approach to politics.
In the final analysis, it has become clear that the ‘Deal of the Century’ was not an irreversible historical event, but an opportunistic and thoughtless political process that lacked a deep understanding of history and the political balances that continue to control the Middle East.
Even if it is accepted, without any argument, that America is, indeed, back, considering the vastly changing geopolitical spheres in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, Biden’s assertion should, ultimately, make no difference.
