US President Donald Trump said Monday it should be “mandatory” for countries including Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Jordan to join the Abraham Accords normalising ties with Israel as part of any agreement to end the war with Iran, in a move that could further complicate negotiations with Tehran.

    I still think that the impetus for this sudden determination ti fight Iran was Netanyahu reminding the Rapist-in-Chief that Israel has even more, and even more damning, Epstein documents than the US does.

    And that would explain this too. That’d be why instead of focusing on Iran or the US, Trump is desperately scrambling to get something - anything - out of all of this that might serve to satisfy Israel.

    And on another note - demanding that other Middle Eastern countries normalize relations with Israel isn’t just similar to, but is exactly identical to demanding that all of the neighbors “normalize relations” with the psychopathic mass murderer down the street.

      This angle where US imperialism can only be explained as a distraction from the Epstein files is quickly becoming boring and bordering on denial. America isn’t forced into wars by anyone nor a victim of its own imperialism.

      No, imperialism is the lifeblood of America, its bread and butter.

      So what Israel wait to force Trump to restart full scale war since you claim it has so much dirt on him?

        Because, as soon as they use what they have, they have no more power over him. It’s better to threaten to use what they have…than to actually use it.
