I don't generally hate people. But....
If Trump launches a ground war against Iran, expect Russia to begin its invasion of the Baltics and vice versa. A coordinated U.S.-Russian strategy to stretch NATO across two fronts would fundamentally weaken Western readiness in Europe. That's the likely scenario we are facing.

As an American Jew devoted to Judaism, I ask one thing:
Please stop calling Israel a “Jewish state.”
Call it a Zionist state.
Call it Herzl’s project.
Call it whatever you want but do not place the name of an entire religion on a political entity.
