They’d best do it if they want to survive.

A refreshing change from the mealy-mouthed utterances of our current president. From the New York Post:

President-elect Donald Trump warned Monday there will be “all hell to pay [in the Middle East if Hamas does not release every one of the remaining hostages in Gaza before his inauguration next month.

Also, from another source, the New York Sun: “The president-elect threatens to ‘hit’ those responsible ‘harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America.’

A prediction: should Hamas inexplicably show some sense and release the hostages before Trump is sworn in, President Biden will claim credit for it, and his trained monkeys in the media will back him up. No mention will be made of Trump’s very believable threat.

  1. ‘harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America.’
    Interesting comment that…..
    Does that mean the next president intends to hit the Hamas area with an air campaign greater than the USA struck Japan with in 1945?
    I mean I know he has a measure of support from the Israeli government but I don’t know if they would be too happy with him using strategic nuclear weapons so close to their patch of land.
    Just sayin’
    That’s all

  2. ‘harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America.’

    That would suggest the present to be would be wishing to exceed at least the US bombing 1944 / 45 bombing campaign on Japan.

    Whereas the current Israeli government looks on Trump with a favourable eye I’m not so sure if they would care for him to authorise the use of Strategic Nuclear weapons so close to their home patch.

    Just saying,
    That’s all
