My guess is Israel will trot out a "scholarly" study by RFK Jr, with input from Elon Musk, demonstrating that vaccines cause genocide. And RFK Jr will demand that his study - peer approved by right-wing thinkers like Alex Jones - be published by Science.

Forcing the Palestinians out of Gaza and the West Bank is going to outdo even the no visa cruelty. Technically aren't some Palestinians semites? So why do the semitic Palestinians rate being cruelly treated by the USA along with the non-semitics. Shouldn't every race be treated with equal cruelty?

Great to see Nato will be represented at the summit in China. Surprised Trump didn't get a gold-embossed invite from his BFFs. Maybe he back-channeled them he's under the weather. Not up to chocolate cake with the boys.

Taking into account the fact he dumped a dead bear in a public park, sawed off a whale's head, and diagnosed multiple kids on sight at an airport, RFK Jr's assessment of Trump's mental state seems well within RFK Jr's unique "standard deviation" from normal human experience.

Annexation is popular with fake democracies; not merely admitted autocracies. Israeli settlements will inevitably blanket 100% of West Bank whether the entire world (minus USA) recognizes Palestine or not. Once Gazans are all expelled to Madagascar, the UN will quickly fade away, a naive dream.
