The Real Estate United States

In the second term of President Trump, the world seems to be in a difficult labor, birthing an era different from what we have experienced for nearly a century and a half. The current situation does not appear to be any better than the previous one, but things are brewing with a mix of events and developments whose final outcome we cannot predict, although expectations suggest it may be a “rotten dish.”

In the north, relations between the United States and Canada, once a steadfast ally, have shifted to a potential adversary with intentions to destabilize it. A collapse of Canada, which heavily relies on its southern neighbor, is anticipated. Mexico has not escaped the claws of Trump, with his ambitions extending to the Panama Canal.

In the northeastern part of the globe, President Zelensky faces a daunting challenge in securing weapons to continue his war against Russia. Trump seeks half of Ukraine’s precious metals, while Europe aims for the other half, foreshadowing an imminent collapse of Ukraine.

NATO recently convened, for the first time in history, without the presence of the United States, which represents 70% of the alliance’s support. This marks the beginning of a rapid and unexpected collapse of NATO, especially with France and Germany agreeing to establish a unified army—a surprising development considering the animosity after World War II. There are growing voices suggesting that the alliance with America was merely a grand illusion. With the collapse of the American-European alliance, we can also expect the disintegration of Europe as a union searching for its identity away from “Uncle Sam.”

In stark contrast to Trump’s detachment from America’s traditional alliances with Europe, Canada, and Ukraine, he shows strong support for Netanyahu in his expanding wars. He is determined to displace the people of Gaza with blind American support and continues to occupy many areas in Syria and Lebanon, with possible expansions toward Iraq or Sinai.

Netanyahu is acquiring weapons worth $7.4 billion, including guided munitions, 18,000 bombs for aircraft, and 3,000 Hellfire missiles, along with the GBU-43/B bomb, known as “Mother of All Bombs,” which weighs 11 tons. I doubt this massive quantity of weapons is intended solely for the destruction of Arab Gaza but rather for further expansion in the Arab neighborhood under illegal American protection.

Today, there are no laws or justice capable of curbing these crimes. In fact, the American president has imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court for daring to issue arrest warrants against the Israeli Prime Minister and his former Defense Minister, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Whereas America once acted as the world’s policeman, striving to enforce law and justice, it has now transformed into a contractor seeking lands and minerals to seize by force. Thus, “the United States of America” in the era of Trump is now referred to as “the Real Estate United States.”
