Gaza Postwar Plan Envisions Relocation of Full Population

A postwar plan for Gaza circulating within the Trump administration, modeled on President Donald Trump’s vow to ‘take over’ the enclave, would turn it into a trusteeship administered by the United States for at least 10 years while it is transformed into a gleaming tourism resort and high-tech manufacturing and technology hub.

In other words, ethnic cleansing.

A shocking development that no one could have foreseen: Trump Won’t Follow Through on Threats to Russia

President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he will punish Russia and President Vladimir Putin if Moscow doesn’t come to the table and agree to peace talks or a ceasefire with Ukraine.
Russia has shown no signs of intending to do either, instead continuing and increasing its attacks on Ukraine as it looks to consolidate gains on the battlefield.
And still, Trump is holding off on releasing a big bazooka of extra sanctions and economic punishment that could hurt an already weakened Russia.

The article fails to mention the most obvious reason: Trump is a Russian asset.
