Middle East is stuck between a rock and a hard place forever.

Fat hope about the Arabs wiping out the USA bases. The USA had an iron grip on the testicles of all the Arab leaders. They would not want their massive assets in USA and the West to be seized like the Russians. Moreover, not all of the Saudi royal households will follow together to attack USA bases if that happens, as some of them are hardcore supporters of the USA and eyeing the Saudi throne. This is the USA's bargaining chip in dealing with Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi ruler now.

Having said that, only Iran and the Houthis could do what is necessary with nothing to lose. Which is why the targeting of Iran takes precedence with the USA and the West having no means to hold any of its leader's assets hostage.

The Middle East has no cards to play and is stuck between a rock and a hard place forever.

Noble Piss Prize for Trump when he takes Greenland

The Nobel Peace Prize Committee is in a fix and those who won the Prize might as well throw them away. This is openly shaming the Nobel Peace Prize Committee in the face. The Nobel Peace Prize has lost its moral value knowing that it can be bought. Was this the intention of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee in the first place I just wonder, the hidden agenda of giving the prize to Machado, being unable to morally give it to Trump and knowing Machado is in no position to take over the Venezuela Presidency and her intention was to give it to Trump by the backdoor. I am flabbergasted.

Now Trump is resorting to 'tariff terrorism' to force countries to support his Greenland takeover or face tariffs. That means all the countries of NATO Europe will be targeted. Russia and China already are facing sanctions and tariffs, so nothing new for them. Apart from these countries, who else cares about voicing support for Denmark? How about Red Dot for principles sake. This is more a matter of one NATO country trying to threaten another NATO country. This is wonderful news for the rest of the world, not the least Russia. If NATO disintegrates, Ukraine will fall immediately and Russia will reap all the benefits.

Having said that, I think the most likely scenario is that the USA will have its way with an expanded military base in Greenland, masquerading as a compromise when it is more of a takeover, and the Danes will be left sulking their thumbs. Trump will then thank the Danes and NATO doggies, the same as thanking the Iranians for not killing prisoners that took part in the riot. I can never believe how hypocritical is this shameless hypocrite.

Singapore's political soap opera

This soap opera will still continue next perhaps with the targeting of Sylvia Lim and the other Aljunied MPs. It is just like Trump, having to find a punching bag to make himself more likeable. They used the Town Council issue to force Low Thia Khiang to quit, but not the fall of the WP in the 2025 election. Now they could have used, my own suspicion, a trojan horse to do the same to Pritam Singh.

As the one who commented above said, it is becoming a sport to be recognize about 'targeting of opposition candidates' that the ruling party excels in.

But the WP is bigger than Pritam Singh or whoever leads it. And opposition voters in Hougang, Aljunied and Sengkang may still continue to make sure their constituencies be the hands of the opposition, which is causing consternation within the PAP. It has to find a way to get rid of the thorn in its side.

This is what Mike Waltz said about Trump in the UN

 Lunatic Trump is a man of action.  He will take any country he wants, kidnap any head of state he wants, invade countries and kill their citizens he wants. Trump is nothing but a terrorist, an unhinged international gangster. This is what Mike Waltz is so proud of Trump. And this is what he said to threaten the UN, waving Trump's poster like a Hollywood star in the likes of Jack Nicholas the Joker.

The evil American Empire now owns the world. With an unhinged madman in charge, and with rogues and clowns behind him, lunatic Trump can do anything and no one can stop him.  The UN is nothing and should stop talking nonsense and wasting time. The UN is irrelevant, a useless piece of furniture. Trump will just act, do whatever he wants.

What about rule of law, democracy, human rights, respecting national sovereignty? Don't be naive like what Stephen Miller said, these catchphrases are for the unthinking and braindead believers of American superiority. Only the daft and stupid can be easily duped by such phrases and think they are real and think the Americans will uphold them. Get real with the real world of might is right.

Trump is the law. Trump is above the law. Get it? But it is good that the world is filled with so many unthinking and braindead believers. It makes controlling them, fooling them so easy and so satisfying. When they are bowing and praying to a D grader like he is God, what else is new? The White House always have TGIF to laugh at these silly believers. And many are queueing up to kiss Trump's ass to have photo ops with Trump and hang it in their office as a medal of great achievement.

Trump is going to make America great again, by taking any country he wants. He is going to Iran to shoot and kill Iranians, because he has nothing better to do other than tweeting. He needs to show the world he is the mafia don, and every country must stay out of his way. 

To the likes of Mike Waltz, Lindsey Graham and all the clowns and rogues in Washington, Trump is the personification of everything good and mighty in America. America is now great again, expanding to take over Latin America and then the rest of the world. No one can stop this.

Bow, you coloured people, you are subhuman, fit to be ruled by the great American Empire under the great tyrant Trump. You have no other choice. What UN? Close it down.

Trump - Iranian brothers, the American terrorists are on their way

 

Makeshift tents shelter displaced Palestinians stand among buildings destroyed by Israeli air and ground operations in Gaza City Thursday, Jan 15, 2026. (Photo: AP/Jehad Alshrafi) This is the fate of Iran after the American and Israel attack.

Trump is calling the Iranian rioters and Mossad agents in their midst 'brothers' and telling them help is on the way. But Trump did not tell them to hide, maybe that is not necessary, for when the bombs landed, all the homes of the Iranians, the rioters and Mossad agents would look like the above picture. And they may not survive the attack.

Trump is going to send in his bombers to flatten Iran and turn it into the likes of Gaza. And he can also promise the Iranians that he will rebuild their countries with new homes, better than what they have now... but before bombing them to Stone Age. Yes, the Americans will rebuild Iran. Trump and his son in law, Kushner, are in the real estate business. Caveat, the surviving Iranians must have the money to buy the new homes from Trump and his son in law.

And while their homes were demolished, Trump will help by building tents and temporary shelters for them. And Trump will ask the Israelis to distribute food, water and medicine to them. How much will reach the Iranians in tents will depend on the generosity of the Israelis. Will the Israelis treat the Iranians like the Palestinians?

Trump's message to the Iranians is not to worry. Trump will take care of everything for them, take care of Iranian oil, silver and gold mines. And the Iranians will have the privilege of having Trump as their acting President. Life will be good for the Iranians under acting President Trump.

The Iranians that are rioting against their govt now will be the happiest Iranians under the American Empire ... caveat, they will have to wait for a few years for Trump and his son in law to rebuild Iran, and they will have to spend time living in makeshift tents and shelters, like the Palestinians.
