Desperate fucking cope. I remain convinced that the purpose of the alt-right is to kill populism at the behest of Socialism, mostly because Socialism is preferrable to them.
Only by the political Left because those are an easy target, and that's the only thing the alt-right cares about: re-iterating and renfocring their position as the Heel in the Intersectionalist Narrative.
"Obviously Zion Don's gonna start wars. To prove that here's the exact reason he was able to get peace."
The problem with the conflict in Gaza is that every one of the MENA states are incentivized for war. A major effort of the Abrham Accords and the "corruption" of these Real Estate deals is to get these countries to invest in tourism which makes war and crime inherently unacceptable. You create a tourist economy for these countries, and the propensity of war collapses.
That's literally the opposite of starting a war. It's building an economy of sustainable peace. This shit is why I argue he actually got so much Muslim and Arab support in the last election. The White Communists are pushing for Pro-Palestinian nonsense as it is an extension of Leftism. The rest of the Arab world knows that there is a way out of the cycle of violence with Trump's middle east agenda. Moreover, these efforts didn't come from the State Department, or his ME liaisons, it came from the Ambassador Corps.
This is nonsense. You're not going to get back the East because it wants to be Russian. You're not going to give up the West because it wants to be NATO. The lines are already drawn hard and nobody has enough men or material to cross those lines.
Don't forget, he already had a border with a NATO country before all of this. It's called Poland. No UN Peacekeeping force needed. Especially when Belorussia exists.

Reading this is just a waste. All I see here is whining about people who are prepared to engage in violence, not having an anti-Israel stance.
Putins own actions also caused new NATO borders to be created due to Finland joining. So if his goal was to rage against NATO he did a poor job of it (much like how people ignore all of those Eastern European nations would have a very good reason to join NATO). A NATO patrolled DMZ would also be just as good at keeping UKRAINE from doing anything just as much as it keeps Russia from doing anything, and now their lack of NATO membership isnt really a big deal. Honestly, Trumps proposed peace deal with probably the best outcome for Ukraine while allowing Russia to save what little face they have left, even if it pisses off both the NAFO types and the Vatniks.
And on a wide note, it is part of why I do actually like Hegseth for SecDef. It was obvious to me from some of the interviews I watched that he understands the true nature of war that a lot of people forgot (or told themselves to forget) because it is brutal and they dont like it: Peace is rarely achieved in war through documents and negotiations. Peace is achieved through crushing your enemies, seeing them driven before you, and hearing the lamentations of their women. And we in the collective West have allowed ourselves to become deluded into believing that we can diplomacy our way out of all things, and is why we have allowed our militaries to become social experiments instead of lethal weapons. Hegseth understands all of that, and is ready and willing to take a hatchet to the entire DOD to turn it into a weapon again, and do it quick because he knows the threat from China is paramount and he has until 2027 to get it done (at least according to Xi's sabre rattling).
Hopefully, he starts with the Navy and the Marines. They would be the two most important in a potential war with China, and while the Air Force would also be important there they have less issues in their warfighting arm compared to the other two.
