So he didn't say US troops. CNN did. k.

More than anything, this sounds like a continuation of his current "Peace Through Tourism" plan. What it sounds like is that he's going to "take over" the Gaza strip by acquiring property and building hotels. This is basically how the Abraham Accords were passed. Most of the Arabs just want money, and normally the war is a continuation of them getting funding. By shifting their monetary interest to tourism, people are disincentivized from actually going to war.

I mean that was his plan for North Korea and they seemed interested enough to have him on their side of the border and back again .

Yup. This was, again another example of his own government working against him.

In this case, as with Syria, the US military basically scuttled the entire Peace Accords that he made because they made multiple unapproved exercises around North Korea which POTUS promised Kim wouldn't actually happen. It was taken as an betrayal by North Korea while the Ambassador Corps was left high-and-dry trying to figure out excuses they could make to get NK back to the table.

It surprised Trump too. He's said it repeatedly: there's just a whole slew of people in DC that just love war.

Honestly, I think the Left are barking up the wrong tree. The military-industrial complex is a thing, but I don't think that it's Boeing that wants, or needs, a war. It's politicians who like seeing people die, and pocketing money, who want the war; while Boeing just makes a new plane and takes a piece of the action.

This is basically what's going on in NK, Syria, and Gaza. There are people that just want never-ending death and violence because it gets them money. And, weirdly enough, it's not the soldiers, generals, or even defense contractors asking for it most of the time (normally because it can get them killed or humiliated should they ever lose). There are just Anointed Visionaries that want to shape the world like a HOI4 map, and are taking a swathe of profit for their own ambition.

That actually explains a lot. North Korea is the same place China was in the 70's. They went broke and had to rebuild almost completely after several horrible riots and difficulties. There is a whole IT industry and secret students from Korea. In academia we called them Hill Billy Koreans because they spoke with a different accent.

Trump tried to get them to open up. Tourism would age been perfect. The same with the middle east. I've wanted to see the many art pieces that bankrupted Iraq since I was a kid. There are some amazing architects and artists that would be perfect to promote from those areas.

I'd be careful, because it took over Hawaii too much and finding tech jobs was next to impossible. If they can show NK has old traditions but is modern, they can grow. The same with much of Gaza or other middle eastern countries. It's a difficult path, but it could save lives and rebuild countries way better than what we have done now.

Trump is a fricken genius.
