Last Post: Gaza plan a reminder of other US foreign involvements

As I watch Trump 2.0 unfold with increasing alarm, there is one thing I’m sure of. If it all goes horribly wrong, Trump will dodge responsibility and blame someone else.

Trump’s offer to help Gaza is no more audacious than was the Marshall Plan in 1945. Thanks, America, for bringing new thinking to a forever war.

Trump has announced the US will assume control over the Gaza Strip, vowing to rebuild the war-torn enclave and create economic opportunities for its future residents. Who won`t be Palestinians.

Trump’s Gaza: Las Vegas with tunnels. Good luck to the first person who pulls the handle on a poker machine.

Before getting excited about Trump’s somewhat fanciful real estate solution to the rebuilding of the devastated Gaza, it’s worth remembering America’s less than successful involvement with the rebuilding of Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, and Vietnam.

Regarding Trump’s plans for the Gaza Strip, we must always remember he suggested injecting people with bleach to combat the Covid crisis.

Could Trump’s controversial plan to take over Gaza be a strategic manoeuvre aimed at expanding US influence – alongside Greenland and the Panama Canal – in response to China’s growing threats? Or is that attributing too much foresight to him?

Trump’s plan for Gaza may be impractical, and even illegal, but he is right about one thing. Gaza could have been the Riviera of the Middle East, had it not been taken over by the bloodthirsty Hamas terror cult.

US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr could instruct his medical researchers to create a vaccine to counteract the rapidly spreading outbreak of Trumpitis and Muskiness.

What rabbit is Albanese going to pull out of the hat next? Is anybody keeping a tally of the cost of all these promises, which we know he doesn’t have the money to fulfil? The word desperation comes to mind.

Every time I hear Chris Bowen is listening to experts, I think he is listening to “yes men”.
