Alastair has a good piece today on his Substack page.
US hubris-driven blunders transform the entire complexion of the wider war
[Excerpt]
“Implicit in his ‘In-Boom-Out & Ceasefire’ Iran approach is that Trump may imagine he has created the space to resume his primary objective — that of instituting a broader Israeli-centric order across the Middle East, devolving upon trade deals, economic ties, investment and connectivity, to create a business-led West Asia, centred on Tel Aviv (with Trump as its de facto ‘President’).
And, via this ‘Business Super Highway’, to strike further beyond — with the Gulf States penetrating into BRICS’ south Asian heartland to disrupt BRICS connectivity and corridors.
The sine qua non for any jumpstart to a putative ‘Abraham Accords 2.0 of course — as Trump clearly understands — is an end to the Gaza War; the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza; and the Strip’s re-construction (none of which seems to be in realistic reach).
What emerges rather, is that Trump continues to be seized by the delusional view that his Israeli-centred vision could all be accomplished merely by ending the genocide in Gaza, but with the world watching aghast as Israel continues on a hegemonic military rampage across the region.”
ParticipantNoted:
Melania has not been in Washington since the ‘military parade’ … word is she’s spent less than 14 days there.
Sara accompanied her husband to Washington… inquiring minds wonder why. She didn’t accompany him on the other visits iirc. It wasn’t a ‘State Dinner’ … in fact it was originally scheduled to be a luncheon – with Trump and Nutty. Schedule changed to – meeting first with Witkoff (was he supposed to convince Nutty to fall in line… Trump was not going to pull out his chair this time?) and a short encounter with Rubio.
Sara was next to her husband at dinner/meeting … The only female if I observed the seating correctly.

‼️🇺🇸It will take the US more than four years to replenish the weapons stockpiles sent to Ukraine, – WSJ ▪️Former Pentagon adviser Dan Caldwell warns in a column for The Wall Street Journal that it will take years to restore American arsenals after large-scale aid to Kyiv. ▪️According to him, Washington is capable of producing only up to 60 Stinger missiles per month, while Ukraine has been given over 3,000 such systems. Millions of artillery shells have also been delivered. ▪️Caldwell believes that the American defense industry has seriously deteriorated, and the Biden administration has brought the country’s military reserves to a critical level. He called Donald Trump’s decision to cut military aid to Kiev “a difficult but necessary step.”
ParticipantPerhaps we are witnessing ‘grief’ being expressed in Scott’s ‘rant’ ?
I voted for Trump in 2016 … hoping he would turn America away from the cliff I believed we were headed for … his first term proved to me that my ‘hope’ was an illusion… continuing to observe his actions during Biden’s term gave me time to grieve… in private, not in public as one in the spotlight almost 24/7, as Scott has been. Not making excuses – just suggesting.
An anecdote: My cousin picked me up and took me to the coast for my birthday recently … to visit family, some of whom I had not seen for quite a few years. As it happened I was with my niece and her husband on the 13th when israel attacked Iran … niece pays very little attention to politics (upsets her too much) while her hubby has always enjoyed visits and discussions with me (the family matriarch who is known for her lifelong political activities and tolerated for same as she is now an ol’ lady!). To my surprise nephew spewed out “Yes I am disappointed in Trump, I was conned… but I am having difficulty with accepting it and I can’t talk about” … the weekend continued with birthday celebration and love and affection … void of any discussion of war or Trump.
Kubler-ross grief cycle is not linear imho … and grief is experienced over a variety of deaths/endings … as we know. My observation is that Scott may be experiencing the death of his ‘country’ as well as the illusion of what he thought was his country … which includes the death of his identity … as a marine, as a patriot… the Trump ‘illusion’ is small potatoes compared to …
My 2 cents …
ParticipantLarry Johnson has a piece at his Sonar 21 site…
ParticipantParticipantMr. P.,
It has been reported that Putin informed Trump that Zelensky should allow Martial Law decree to expire … so that elections could be held …
