    Default The world looks longingly at a post-Trump era

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.


    “If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

    Do you see that as a knock on Trump, miyog? He's not letting other countries take advantage of the US anymore. Of course they don't like it. MAGA!!!

    I distinctly remember Western Europe disliking Reagan. Since then I give a fuck what you pussies think.

    Kowtowing to the rest of the world is also the way to getting left behind. Looks like there's no winning. Choose your poison.

    You don't have to choose between those two.

    Those two options are not the only choices.

    We can interact with the rest of the world positively while seeking to minimize the downside. There is more to be gained than lost.

    That is correct but unfortunately that's usually the two options we end up getting.

    I'd say George H.W. Bush was the last president that (sort of) did that. Who would you say?
