20 October 2025 09:18 BSTUS President Donald Trump is boasting of having brought peace to the Middle East, a claim that is wildly exaggerated. But he has, at least for the moment, brought an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Trump’s willingness to use the tools of his office to pressure Israel into accepting his terms for a ceasefire - terms quite favourable to Israel but falling short of the ambitions of its far-right government - reflects poorly on his predecessor, Joe Biden, and his 2024 presidential challenger, Kamala Harris.
It also vindicates the anti-Trump critics within the Democratic Party who implored their leaders to take a forceful stand against Israel’s genocide, warning they could lose the election if they refused.
No need. Did that already. I saw the guy above you crediting Trump with success, an inherently respectful act, which is why I wrote the comment. Feel free to review if you missed it.
No one is immune to propaganda.
Oh I see, you’ve got that tribal brain thing going where you think that accurately assessing the achievements of your enemy is “inherently respectful”. Materialists aren’t about that, which is why they keep winning wars.
great talking to you
