Thom Hartmann, author and political commentator, posted on X, formerly Twitter, while sharing a 2017 article from The Washington Post: "Hamas apparently knew how to get around Israel's Iron Dome defenses. They probably learned this from Iran. Iran almost certainly got the information from Russia. And who gave it to Russia? Sure looks like it was Donald Trump, at the request of Putin." Trump is due to go on trial in May 2024 accused of retaining classified documents after he left the White House in January 2021, and then obstructing the federal attempt to retrieve them from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Springs, Florida. The former president has pleaded not guilty to 40 charges as part of the criminal case and has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
In 2017, Trump defended sharing sensitive intel with Russia at the White House (WH), saying it was necessary for security reasons. (NEWSWEEK)
Interesting isn’t it… I mean think about the shock and amazement, expressed by Israel, the United States, and its allies…that SOMEHOW…SOMEHOW, Hamas could pull off their declaration of war and invasion of Israel, with such ease. One has to wonder, one must wonder was the civil unrest within Israel against the attempt by Netanyahu to become a Fascist leader, the catalyst for such easy access by Hamas to invader, maim, and murder? Seriously?
My turn for Conspiracy thinking, especially as we live in some kind of Trump-related End Times. The macabre whirling world that Trump had created no longer is expected to play by any rules of decency, nor are we to suppose that democracy will survive. Can anyone honestly, given the recent splatter of treasonous facts, regarding Trump’s careless regard for the sanctity of the US, NOT wonder how deeply and sickeningly Trump's action might have or is it may have or is it most likely HAVE encouraged and invigorated the Hamas attack.
And what perfect timing, indeed. Trump needs negative things to happen so he can and his KLAN of MAGA can blame President Biden. So far chaos in the House has delayed democracy from gaining ground against Putin in Ukraine. No Speaker, to US response. Chaos has always been Putin’s strength, along with lies. The GOP pretends to care about Israel, and thus democracy in that nation, but one less place for democracy to thrive, one more notch in Putin’s belt. Say the name TRUMP and all kinds of bad things should be and can be imagined!
