Well, howdy there, internet people. Let's bow again.
So today we're going to talk about what comes after,
because that's now being discussed.
The world powers are getting together and they're having their little talks
trying to decide what should occur once everything goes quiet,
once things have calmed down, so to speak.
They're trying to figure that out now.
So they're trying to come up with an exit strategy
after the troops are already in, making every mistake the US
made in order.
So what is on the table?
The first is Israel handling it.
That would be an occupation.
Israel has said they do not want to occupy,
which might be the first good decision they've made.
That would be literally the worst decision
in a long string of bad decisions here.
The idea that they do not want to occupy
might indicate that they do not intend on pursuing a full-scale ground offensive.
That would actually be good news. What you're seeing now, that's not full-scale.
So it's either they have altered their position on that or they plan on engaging in the Powell
doctrine. They have also said that they don't want to be responsible for the
day-to-day in Gaza. I mean it's a little late in the game to say something like
that. Options that are on the table, that are reportedly actively being discussed.
being discussed. First is the UN takeover administration. It sounds good in theory,
it really does. However, the UN, honestly, they're not up to it. They are not up to
it. There is the idea of a multinational peacekeeping force that is outside of
the UN. There's also one that's inside the UN, one that's outside the UN. I mean,
if you could get the right countries, it could work, but my guess is the right
countries, if they do volunteer, Israel won't want them to do it because the
countries that could actually go in there and help are countries that are
generally speaking pretty adversarial with Israel. I feel like they're not
going to want a bunch of those troops in that area armed. It seems like they will
have objections to that. The other option is bringing back and kind of
reforming the Palestinian Authority. None of these options are great. They're all
workable. None of them are good. Me personally, I tend to believe that the
people living there should like have a say. So I mean I would lean towards the
Palestinian Authority, but please understand there are issues with that as
as well. These are concerns that should be worked out beforehand, generally speaking.
The United States demonstrated, but on a very lengthy demonstration, of why that's important
not too long ago. So what we have is kind of a mixed bag. Good news, Israel is
saying they do not want to occupy. That really is good news. At the same
time, there's no clear path. There's no clear path. But the big piece of news to
me is if they don't want to occupy, that really might indicate that they
have altered their view on a large-scale ground offensive. If that is the case,
there will probably be more foreign policy put towards helping people rather
than trying to stop the spread of the conflict which has been occupying a lot
of time. So that's where things are at right now. The future of the people in
in Gaza is once again being decided by people in other countries.
I feel like that might be planting a seed for another cycle.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Have a good day.
