Trump demands Netanyahu pardon as he slams Israeli president as a 'disgrace'​

President Donald Trump demanded a pardon for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu so he can fully focus on the current war with Iran.

In an interview with Axios published on Thursday, Trump called Israeli President Isaac Herzog “a disgrace” for not yet pardoning Netanyahu.

“Every day I talk to Bibi about the war. I want him to focus on the war and not on the f*cking court case. I want the only pressure on Bibi to be the fighting against Iran,” the president said.

The Iranians have to be mentally retarded to be attacking other Middle East nations.

This also could be true...



Trump is running the most dangerous geopolitical blitz since Bretton Woods.

And the endgame isn't a trade war.

There's a theory circulating that Trump is running a far more ambitious play -- one designed to collapse BRICS, force China's hand, and lock in dollar dominance for decades.

It's bold. It's speculative. And whether you buy it or not, the underlying moves are worth paying attention to:

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘇𝘂𝗲𝗹𝗮

The U.S. moves on Venezuela's oil, lithium, gold, and rare-earth reserves. Not for regime change — for resource control. China has quietly relied on Venezuelan oil to sidestep sanctions for years. That lifeline gets cut first.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮

This one's less dramatic but arguably more important. Canada deepens its alignment with Washington — offering diplomatic support, intelligence sharing, and strategic basing access. It's not that Ottawa becomes a puppet. It's that North America starts operating as a single economic and security bloc in a way we haven't seen since WWII. That kind of continental unity sends a message that's hard to ignore.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: 𝗜𝗿𝗮𝗻

With Venezuela compromised, China pivots to Iran for oil. Predictable. That's when the U.S. and Israel escalate — strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, command infrastructure, and oil facilities. China's backup energy source disappears.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰: 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮

Here's where the theory gets really interesting -- and really controversial.

The argument is that a back-channel deal is already taking shape. Russia, increasingly squeezed and looking for off-ramps, begins redirecting energy exports toward Western markets. Out of self-interest, not friendship. In return, Moscow gets energy revenue guarantees and a pathway back to the global trading system. Canada, with its existing Arctic and energy ties, becomes the diplomatic bridge.

The result is a North American–Russian energy alignment that removes China's last major source of leverage.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲

BRICS loses its economic foundation. Beijing, cut off from reliable energy and geopolitical allies, is forced to negotiate on American terms, including purchasing U.S. debt at favorable rates. The dollar gets a controlled reset with gold as the backstop, and the global financial system re-centers around Washington.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 + 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿

Energy price spikes and defense spending flood capital into risk assets. Bitcoin pushes past $200K. Then comes the executive orders: a Strategic U.S. Bitcoin Reserve, funded by seized assets and energy windfalls.

But the piece most people are sleeping on is stablecoins. Every USD-pegged stablecoin moving across borders reinforces American financial infrastructure without a single new bank branch. The GENIUS Act laid the regulatory rails. A geopolitical shakeup of this scale would create a demand shock.

Stablecoins don't just survive a reset like this. They become the rails it runs on.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:

Resource control → energy dominance → geopolitical isolation of China → dollar reset + Bitcoin reserve + stablecoin expansion.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:

Precision chaos → total energy dominance → China's surrender on U.S. terms → dollar reset + strategic Bitcoin reserve + stablecoin expansion.

American financial supremacy 2.0.

Whether you believe it or not, the pieces are already moving.

Trump is sucking so much Netanyahu cock, it isn't even funny...not everybody loves corruption Donnie.

Not really, if the Mullahs fall, they feel like burning the house down will punish the West too. They are right.

They already know they cant win so they want to make it as painful as possible for the rest of the world. The world runs on oil.

Thats one possible take on the situation. In his younger days he may have been able to think some of that through and come to those conclusions but nowadays I don't think he's that smart. He's doing what his handlers tell him to do.

China and Russia were Irans biggest allies. Both sitting on the sidelines and watching and learning. If you think Iran has a lot of drones and missiles, wait until you see China's stockpile.
So Iran makes us burn up all our interceptors and then decides to help Iran. At that point Israel is finished.

The neocons dont give a shit about anything except endless wars where they can get rich. Thats it. If everyone else dies in a nuclear war they have bunkers where they can wait it out and thrive until it's safe to come out again.

Look nobody wants a war. Funny isn't it but when Obama was bombing everyone these Democrats sounded absolutely "war like". And Libya was the existential threat Iran is, and has been. These Iranian mongrels have been killing us for almost 50 years and supporting every rag wearing, American hating, bunch on the globe. So I'm sorry if some people dont like Trump, or just didn't vote for him. This has nothing to do with a nuclear armed Iran, which Obama and that idiot Biden wanted to hand them.

So I dont know how this is going to end but an Iran blown to shit, their missile and missile making ability degraded, their leadership in the dirt, and more then anything their nuclear ambitions a wet dream. All this is enough for me. Were not going to overthrow a tyranny with air power alone but I'd bet they will stop making us look like fools. That era will end. It also appears Iran has really weakened their hand and made nothing but enemies in the region and China has seen just how vulnerable they are.

The US/Izzy miltary is doing to Iran what the DeepState has been trying to do to Trump for over a decade. Trump is discouraging nuclear proliferation and other nations moving away from the petrodolar. Or else.
