Towards the close of Mike Tyson’s three-year jail sentence for physical abuse, celebrated journalist Ed Schuyler quipped,” I’d rather get Tyson’s second opposition after he gets out than his first day”.

Schuyler had a point: Maybe, it’s awful to be the leadoff flour.
Going foremost is the better option, nine times out of ten days. Like, if you’re in a school room with five different slobs and one’s sharing the same bath, you DO NOT want to use the washroom last! ( Especially the morning after a night of binge drinking Natty Light and ordering 7-Eleven chili nachos. )  ,
” Oh, the humanity”!
But someone has to come second. In fighting, it was Peter McNeeley, who lasted a full of 89 moments against Mike Tyson. ( Thank goodness McNeeley never engaged in combat like Jake Paul, eh? )  ,
And in world elections, it will be Hamas who goes second: Before the end of January, Donald Trump is gonna kick their Hamass.
Hamas is the innovative Peter McNeeley.
Following four years of Biden’s complete and utter stupidity, America’s international policy is in disarray. The whole world is on fire: There’s a popular war in Europe, nuclear saber-rattling, conflict in the Holy Land, the fatal Afghanistan removal, Syria collapsing, China bullying its neighbors, and only now, South Korea was on the verge of a revolution.
Donald Trump will need to immediately restore American punishment. It’s work# 1.
Luckily, he knows how to do it.
Think back to the early weeks of Trump’s first name: When the cheerful Obama administration insisted that nothing , may be done about ISIS, Trump redirected the U. S. defense to clean those criminal P. O. S. off the face of the Earth.

What Obama claimed was hopeless, Trump solved in just a few months with his ingenious strategy: He killed’ em all.
( Turns out, dead people can’t fight anymore. Weird, eh? Who knew! )
Prediction: Immediately following his inauguration, watch for Trump to double-down on his deterrence doctrine by blasting Hamas to smithereens.  ,
What worked for ISIS will work for Hamas.
Trump is naturally opportunistic and strategic, looking for the most cost-effective ways to restore deterrence as quickly as possible. It’s his bedrock principle for everything else— and on the heels of Biden’s flaccidness, it’s crucial for America’s resurgence.
Trump’s foreign policy agenda is ambitious: End the war in Ukraine, rescue American hostages in Gaza, prevent a nuclear holocaust, renegotiate with Mexico and Canada, hit China was gazillion new tariffs, kneecap Iran, sign new trade deals, and bring peace to the Middle East.
That’s … a lot.
So, think pragmatically: What would be the smartest, most cost-effective way to communicate to the whole world that America is now deadly serious — and to screw with us at your own peril?
Why, it would be to find a weak, isolated target like Hamas, and to loudly and vocally demand the release of American hostages.  ,
And then, when Hamas doesn’t comply, you’d unleash the unholy hounds of war, slaughtering the holdouts, reducing them to rubble.

It would demonstrate to the world that you are serious about what you say, not the Biden years, which have grave consequences. This “implied threat” would give you an edge at the negotiating table: Whether it’s the Russians, the Mexicans, the Iranian, or anyone else, there’s a risk to screwing over Trump that there never was with Biden.
( Biden’s delusions notwithstanding. )  ,
Trump didn’t campaign to be a wartime president. There’s a reason why neocons like Dick and Liz Cheney despise him so much, despite the ferocity of his language belies the heart of a pacifist. But sometimes, you gotta break a few eggs before you can eat your omelet. ” Peace through strength” only works when people think you’re strong.
Which is why Hamas will need to be reorganized by the end of January. I avow it.
