Unfortunately I don’t see the media giving Trump any due credit. They’ll go back to “why hasn’t he ended the Ukraine war like he said he would”, like this never happened.

He hasn't ended Ukraine for the same reason this took so long. The Euros are sabotaging the efforts. Why Trump puts up with those asshoes is beyond me.

Does Trump have a choice except to "put up with" said assholes?

Euros require the gas & oil from Russia. Until and unless another replacement source of equal cost is found, this situation persists. The deep state brought this war to Ukraine by teasing NATO membership, not to mention removing Kiev leadership that was sympathetic to Moscow. Trump is trying to untangle a big ass mess that never needed to occur, if not for giant Cold War ego's that brought us all here.

Yep. Pivot what everyone agrees is the real threat in the East. Let Europe stew in their own juices.

The reason is Qaddafy.

Qaddafy made nice with Bush and when George Soros got that Disgrace to the Human Race installed in the White House, he funded al Qaeda and then cheered when he was sodonized by a bajonet.

Putin understands that until there is an ironclad guarantee that no Democrat will ever ever ever ever ever again be allowed to infect the Oval Office that it is pointless to negotiate with the West

Agree. And the media also hasn't given Trump credit for his recent peace deals which have prevented wars: 1) Armenia and Azerbaijan, 2) Rwanda and DR Congo, and 3) Thailand and Cambodia

One thing seems clear to me…for decades career politicians and “diplomats” (think John Kerry) have completely failed to do anything meaningful in the Middle East.

Say what you will about Kushner, Wittkoff, Grenell etc, things are getting done.

Oct 9Edited

MSNBC is not reporting on this.

CNN is barely reporting, and that is noticeably reluctant.

The WSJ reader comment platform is allowing vile and inflammatory comments about Trump despite the progress.

The NYT article is criticizing Trump for the lack of details.

Trump is proving they have all been wrong on this and almost everything for years/decades — and they cannot handle it.

Despite the pathetic moves by various European countries, Canada, and Australia, to reward hamas for October 7th and strengthen their resolve when it came to negotiations, thus prolonging this war, Trump stood firmly behind Israel, resulting in the closest we have come to peace in two years. At the same time he stood behind Israel, he solidified relations with Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. G-d protect Trump for the next three years.

Yeah not sure standing behind Israel is what resulted in peace. More like standing up to Israel.

Orenv's avatar

I disagree. We will see if we are truly standing behind them when Hamas is forced to disarm and leave and passivism takes hold. Peace is only possible through passivism. We destroyed Afghanistan and Iraq under far less dire circumstances. It is possible to have peace, but only if the Islamists are confronted. We fail to confront them in the PA, so I am not hopeful. The world is quite willing to pretend everything is wonderful when it obviously isn't. See all that happened up to Oct 7 when Hamas did exactly what they always said they would (and were cheerleaded by the PA). See the narrative of support for Hamas in the west. They need to be finished off or disbanded. I doubt the resolve exists.

About 80% of the Israeli population wants peace. I agree with them. 🇺🇸 The majority of Americans no longer support Israel since 1-1/2 years already according to Pew Research. Bibi seems to be trying to avoid jail time.

At some point, as Trump said, Israel will have to stop trying to take on the whole world. Even MBS publicly stated 4 days ago that Saudi is backing Qatar, and they are now buying weapons from Pakistan rather than relying upon USA. China and Russia back Iran. The world sees that after Oct7, Bibi has gone on to behave horrendously over and over.

Israel and Hamas both signed the peace deal yesterday but I don’t trust Bibi. He’s willing to risk WW3 over his personal circumstances and there a still pressure from the radical group in the background which push for expansion. Trump pulling Gaza out from his grasp to be administered and rebuilt by others is a frustration I’m sure.

Their cognitive dissonance would never allow them to give him any kind of credit. More than likely he’ll be blamed for the dead hostages(may they rest in peace).

Thank you Ms. Stone . Like you I observe someone finally doing something . Putting his rep on the line for a godamn peace deal .

It may fail but I’m glad this guy is in the office

Oct 7 . The Palestinian cause died in the arms of hate and blood lust for me . That’s a boon for us all . Total war is ugly and anti humanity.

I sincerely felt for the stateless Arabs . Hoping they would let go of the hate and gain a small slot for themselves in return

I felt for them in Lebanon where anti Jewish hate powered Israel’s

Neighbors and enemies.

Mr MAGA himself had always been a “ war is bad for buisiness” sort of guy . This view he holds is quite genuine and recorded many times long, long before 2015 .

My best hopes for this nations honor is in “blessed are the peacemakers “

I Imagine that soon , we might have our own dilemma with ultra violence in some of the cities and

Campuses . Fingers crossed

If savages had crossed over our border and slaughtered, tortured, beheaded and burned alive over a thousand men, women, children, and babies in multiple towns and neighborhoods in Arizona or New Mexico, there would be nothing left but ashes from wherever they’d come from. And rightly so.

But the Biden administration and the holier than thou “international community” turned the blame on Israel and let the savages get away with it.

This is not over. It will never be over, until every last one of them who had a hand in the most horrific massacre in modern history is wiped off the face of the earth. That’s reality.

I am hopeful that the hostages are returned to their families. I am not hopeful that this is a lasting peace. History has proven the rulers of Palestine seek the death and destruction of Israel. The mufti and Yasser Arafat were offered peace at least 6 times over the past decades. They refused it. This current peace deal is temporary. Hamas saw what happened to Iran. They know Trump is serious. This allows Hamas to fight another day. But they are a face saving culture and respect the scimitar. This having to concede the fight is not face saving. They burn with hatred to the Jew. This peace does not deal with that.

I knew this was coming in 2005 when Israel gave the “Palestinians” the Gaza. It was only a matter of time.

In another 20 years they’ll do it again and people will claim astonishment.

The cycle continues.

This ‘peace’ occurring for 2 reasons. First is surgical strikes against Hamas mother hen, Iran. The 2nd were strikes against Hamas leadership living in Qatar, 5-star hotels. I’ve no idea why Israel waited as long as it did before taking out big boys in Qatar. It was so obvious that was where the leadership resided. 10/7 occurred at the request/demand of Tehran. That request was to stop House of Saud from normalizing relations w/ Israel. And perhaps just as much because Israel was poised to develop $ rich natural gas field (Gaza Marine) w/ PA & Israel, which would neutralize $ money influence of the mullahs. My question now is how long before Netanyahu is put out to pasture.

You are wrong, Sasha dear, the Dems will never-never-give Trump credit for an end to the War in Gaza, or anything else he does. At this point, they are both emotionally and intellectually incapable of doing so.

B Smith's avatar

True. But not necessarily due to TDS. We should understand by now that Trump is not the object of their hate- it’s this country and its founding principles. We will never return to a 2-party system in which both parties love America and those principles. Trump-hatred has become a proxy for the bitterness and frustration of so many Dems, that the Bill of Rights blocks their plans. When they get both houses again, the Supreme Court will be in mortal danger.
