The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Trump is so desperate to open the Strait of Hormuz that he's throwing Netanyahu under the bus. Very bad for Netanyahu politically. His only hope to survive the coming election is to keep the war going.

The Beeb is reporting a new cease fire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah. Remember how the last one, in late 24 went? Hezbollah didn't fire another shot, until March 2 of this year. Meanwhile, Israel bombed Lebanon almost every day, ignoring the cease fire, from 2024, until this past March. But the media rarely says that. According to USian media, it was Hezbollah that broke the cease fire on March 2, and Israel's invasion of Lebanon, since then, is all "defensive", and it's all Hezbollah's fault.

I agree, any sort of stand down would be politically bad for "Bibi", as Bennett is promising to kill more Muslims that "Bibi" has been.
