It’s because, like Blinken, they are such astonishing morons, the entire world is gob smacked. Okay, the only possibility for Hamas to win was if you specifically chose to specifically overreact, as they specifically said was their plan. So you did it. Then the only way to lose was to get the world opposed to you a minute after being attacked and raided by terrorists. SO you did that. Then the only advantage you had was intel on what was going on there, people, their apartments, the streets and buildings…so you destroyed that. Now that you have no intel, there are only Hamas tunnels underground which can only be protected by chaotic rubble above. So you created that. THEN, they only way to lose was to send in tanks and men INTO this chaos, where you have no intel, and just get cut to pieces each day while NOT attacking the tunnels. So you did that. NOW the only way to lose, is to give up and just hand the whole thing back to Hamas by wandering off, not attacking while the world watches you retreat. So you did that.
Any questions? This is today’s hard-body IDF. Getting their genius from Blinken. Because the only way for the U.S. to lose is to BACK all this, and be an active participant, including the mass-starvation and building a dock to start erecting those condos and the new Suez Canal. …So we did it. For Free!

The western globalist empire, the “rules based order” is sustained by the tribute effectively paid when nice people of the world give their oil, copper and things they make, to the US for dollars which the US solemnly “prints”, swearing to back those dollars with more dollars faithfully in perpetuity. European banking also found a way to be a source of $US lending and credit-creation, accepting interest payments in oil , smartphones and wheat.
The tribute is extracted when the world uses the $US system for international trade. Using anything but dollars for trade between nations directly threatens the western empire.
The empire has enough troubles, since the imperial fleet is spread thin as the global natives become emboldened, like the Houthis in Yemen. At this moment there is no good way for the empire to move forward in the Ukrainian proxy war against BRICS+ member, Russia, or in the Israeli genocidal war against the native Palestinian people trying to survive in their ancestral land. Every step taken to feed these wars is a rent payment on not-losing-today, and the rent is going up. Imperial loss of face has proceeded from defeats in Afghanistan and Syria, while the defeat in Ukraine is seen as a fait accompli, just a matter of time. The definitive war for loss of imperial power is the one being fought by the apartheid European colonists of “Israel” against the stoic and long-suffering Palestinian people, randomly bombed, starving in rubble and praying five times per day.Germany would abide by Netanyahu arrest warrant

It’s been constructive,” the official said, referring to a meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in Jerusalem last week.
Last week, Sullivan traveled to the Middle East and visited Saudi Arabia and Israel, where he met with Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and the Israeli leadership.
