Those congratulating buffoon Trump on Gaza peace deal are wrong

“War,” Carl von Clausewitz wrote, “is the continuation of politics by other means.” To the Putins and Netanyahus of the world the meaning of this statement was clear and was clearly misunderstood by them.

Donald Trump has never read von Clausewitz or anything without pictures and bullet points. His cartoonish version of the world inspires a style of diplomacy not seen since Kaiser Wilhelm II. Who almost started World War I? Because of his embarrassment when he appeared before Cowles wearing the wrong boat shoes and his royal cousins ​​laughed at him.
