COLOSSAL AND DANGEROUS STUPIDITY IN EUROPE AND GLOBAL AFFAIRS Part Two
Dr. Common Good
This is going to be a very short post, on a few more of the egregious Trump debacles on the global stage:
As for Gaza and his hallucinatory proposal to “take it over” and turn it into the “Riviera of the Middle East” – What exactly rattles around in Trump’s head to think that this is an idea that should even be verbalized? Gaza, and the West Bank, are Palestinian homelands. Period. They are not Trump’s to take, nor Israel’s to take for that matter. Nullifying the homelands of a people for some real estate fantasy is a detestable violation of basic human rights and mind-numbing in its narcissism – not to mention stupid beyond words and a prescription for anti-American hatred.
As for “taking over” the Panama Canal – The canal belongs to Panama. Period. Any attempt to “take it” would amount to unilateral aggression. Whatever childish fantasy Trump has about this, maybe gleaned from some comic-book version of Teddy Roosevelt, is just that. If the US has concerns about Chinese influence in a strategic location, that’s different. That is a legitimate issue, something the adults can talk about. But Trump should just be confined to his playroom.
As for “taking over” Greenland – Greenland is an autonomous country, and also part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Period. Any attempt to “take it” would amount to unilateral aggression against one of our own allies. No respected, intelligent American diplomat would ever consider such an idiotic folly. Oh, my apologies – Trump and Musk have fired all the intelligent, respected diplomats.
As for re-naming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America” – Seriously, what is wrong with Trump and his MAGA cronies? How petty and puny can one be? It has been the Gulf of Mexico for eons, and that is what it will stay. Anyone or any organization (yes, meaning you Google) that kowtows to such nonsense has chicken livers for a heart and Jell-O for a brain. For Dr. Common Good, it is the Gulf of Mexico. Siempre.
