Israelis basically regard Muslims as sort of subhuman, and they don't think they should be led by democracy.
They want dictators throughout the region.
Why the United States signed up for this deal, and not just Trump, by the way, you know, every administration, the Clinton administration, the Obama administration, they were perfectly happy to work with these dictators, but I've always thought
Over the long run and maybe even over the median run, maybe even the short run, I think it's a losing strategy.
I don't know what it would take for Israel to resurrect its position in the United States.
I think it's been irreparably damaged, and we're only at the beginning of the damage, precisely because I do think the bulk of MAGA is gonna turn, is gonna at least become indifferent to Israel.
By the way, I was gonna say before, and we can get into this or not, but I was gonna say before that this is the beginning of a general turn to real America first foreign policy, I think.
I think that the Iran expedition is probably the last
thing that Trump does outside the hemisphere.
And they seem to be accelerating their withdrawal of troops from Europe.
The Asian alliances are in complete disarray.
Trump has already said that he's basically given away, for all intents and purposes, the aid package to Taiwan.
He basically gave that to Xi as a gift for nothing in this last trip.
And now I think we'll be focused on what are we going to do in Cuba.
I think he's going to go back to trying to take Greenland.
It is really going to be
purely hemispheric aggression, purely hemispheric activity, and basically telling the rest of the world to have a nice day and jump off a bridge, except continue to pay us the exorbitant tariffs that we've slapped on everybody.
I agree with that.
Well, the summit, I think, reflected reality for anybody who could see, which was that Xi was in a very comfortable position.
I think the Chinese had a very easy role to play here.
