1 Oops, I meant it for tomorrow. The heat is getting to me. Anyway, embedding didn't work, but the link is right there...

You did the embedding part right — for some reason it just needed a moderator to open the article for editing and then close it again with no changes whatsoever. The tomorrow part is almost as easily fixed, so now we all will have the entire 24 hours to ponder what you found for us. :-)

4 ^"A Total Defeat," a "Capitulation," a "Catastrophe", Warns a French Trump Supporter Regarding the Iran-USA Treaty
In any case, Philippe adds, Israel must improve its public relations and, above all, Jerusalem must try to "neutralize the power of JD Vance."

5 ^^Exactly how Israel is supposed to "neutralize the power of JD Vance".

I mean JD is
(1) A highly decorated Marine.
(2) A successful lawyer.
(3) A brilliant venture capitalist.
(4) One of the oldest Trump supporters.

6 Exactly how Israel is supposed to "neutralize the power of JD Vance".

You must start by hiring a team of French diplomatic experts.

7 Exactly how Israel is supposed to "neutralize the power of JD Vance".

IF Israel wanted to foolish try such a things it could cost them a lot of support of the only US political party still mostly supporting them.

But say Israel does have issues JD.
All they have to do is 3rd / 4th party funnel a few $1,000 or there to some Far Left Bloggers/Meme'ers, and have the right people (D) whisper in the ears of a few MSM (d) reporters, while out wining and dining a few MSM (D) chiefs or reporters.

Thus starting a MSM/I-net crusade against JD.

JD Vance once compared Trump to Hitler. Now, he is Trump's vice president-elect

11 President Trump takes notice:

12 The Lieutenant's veto. Who controls who? Someone decides not to follow the top's orders and can sabotage any deal? Good reason for Iranians to rat out where the leadership and button pushers are hunkering down.
