I wonder if Henry Kissinger could interpret the diplomacy of Trump’s “Geopolitics 2.0” today? I describe it as advanced chaos theory.

But only one thing inevitably comes out of chaos and that is corruption. Ergo the haze of woke and illegal immigration once shrouding what we’re now finding out about Democratic Party misdeeds since 2021.

While we’ve witnessed Trump demanding possession of Greenland, US statehood for Canada, and the surrender of Ukraine it’s his stance on Israel that I worry about most.

When he says that the US will stand by whatever Israel chooses to do—having demanded that all hostages be released by last Saturday yet overruled by Netanyahu—he’s still pushing for the US takeover of Gaza and the resettlement of those calling themselves “Palestinian” with no right of return from the West Bank too.

Where do I stand on this?

Given the past 80 years of Arabs obstructing any peace in Gaza and the West Bank, and Hamas’s destruction of the Gaza Strip since October 7 2023 I agree with Trump that the fantasy of “Palestine” has come to an end.

Palestine could have existed in 1947, it never did, and its perpetual economy of barbaric hate makes certain that it won’t for another generation at least—and the world can no longer accept another generation of Mideast war.

But what is reality and what is smoke and mirrors in this multi-theatre game of geopolitical good cop-bad cop?

Trump now faces a clock with activist courts breathing down his neck and Antifa-BLM massing in the streets.

That’s the ultimate irony in this story really: Democrats placated Hamas to stop Antifa’s pro-Hamas marches looting and burning the cities but that entire pile of kindle is about to ignite on them too.

I actually do think that Kissinger would understand Trump today.

As America’s most pragmatic secretary of state in the Nixon era, the man who saved Israel in 1973 but sacrificed South Vietnam in 1975, he would see in Trump a clear objective:

It’s called, “Pass the ammunition and give us the money”. For war is politics, and politics is business after all.
