100%. If I had to nitpick (and I do, it's who I am) I would say that the thinking is likely more status-quo-oriented: Fatah in Gaza is a "danger" not (just) because it freezes out annexation ambitions in the West Bank, but also because it opens the door to actual progress to a Palestinian state.

If Trump attempts to run in 2028 (he will), Obama should also attempt to run. Obama would win, which means SCOTUS would rule them both ineligible.

For those who ask, the French have no kill switches in the weapons they sell. They sold jets to apartheid South Africa to bomb Angola, missiles to Argentina that sank British ships, jets to Saddam to bomb Iran. The French really don't care what you do with their weapons, as long as you pay for them.

Glem lives in Brazil and yet has failed to notice that 1. Bolsonaro is not a fascist; he appeals to middle and upper middle classes. 2. Bolsonaro was convicted only after he lost the ballot in an open election 3. In fact it was Lula who was hit with criminal charges to clear the way for a Jair!
