‘YAWN!’: Trump threatens Gaza “with hell” if hostages spoil his special day

Donald Trump is a bit late with his latest threat that “there’ll be hell to pay” if the Gaza hostages are not released by the time he’s inaugurated – about 424 days and 44 466 lives too late.
That’s how long Gaza has been enduring hell on earth, so one wonders how Trump is going to turn up the heat.
Putting US boots on the ground or approving a nuclear strike on Gaza are about the only ways Trump can deepen Washington’s culpability in the Gaza genocide. Or, perhaps, he’s seeking some personal involvement in murder, akin to his involvement in the Qassem Suleimani assassination when he personally called the Saudi foreign minister and asked him to invite the doomed Iranian general for talks in Iraq.
Maybe, Trump wants some blood on his hands and wants to remotely control one of the Zionists’ quadcopters on a mission to assassinate wounded children; it’s a favourite activity for legions of female Israeli reservists, so it should be right up his street.
Trump will need to play to the deep, red-meat-eating ranks of his macho supporters and he likely feels a need to out-macho Sleepy Joe Biden who everyone is calling Genocide Joe nowadays.
That’s such a “bad” moniker, a lot more macho than “Agent Orange” and “the Teflon Don” that are the only nicknames that have stuck to the president elect.
“What’s Trump going to do? The Gazans are already enduring hell on earth. Donald Trump is going to find Arabia is a very different dish when he steps into the Oval Office on January 20,” a diplomatic source who did not wish to be identified as he is part of the negotiations told Markaz Sahaba.
Certainly, he’s likely to find that throwing one of his famous hissy fits will make no impression at all. After 424 days of unrelenting genocide, no one in Palestine gives a damn about a septuagenarian in Washington dribbling apoplectically into his morning coffee while his embedded media watch on adoringly.
Arabia is no longer Trump’s back yard, much as he’d like to pretend it is. It’s a very different place from April 20 2020 when oil prices fell into negative territory thanks to a Saudi decision to crimp oil output.
Then, all it took to solve things was a phone call to his buddy, Muhammad bin Salman, in Riyadh, and suddenly the oil valves were turned to fully open.
His “normalization” drive is dead in the water, a victim of Zionist overreach. Once the Israelis threatened Iran with targeting its oil infrastructure in the Arabian Gulf, all the oil kingdoms closed ranks and are now likelier to cooperate with Iran than with the Israeli-American crowd.
Few actors in Arabia today bother differentiating between Israelis and Americans and Washington’s unwavering participation in and support for the Gaza genocide has made it clear to most actors in which direction America is moving.
Increasingly, Russia and China are seen as offering a more stable future and both powers have hosted Palestinian factions with a view to building a united, viable Palestinian voice to speak for their people once the genocide eventually stops.
