The tide has changed. The process will be slow. Consider America is a vehicle. The Americans are the drivers and passengers. The vehicle was built with WW2 war loots. Then the Americans were bathing under the glorious vehicle. Then Kissinger warned the Americans after signing the peace treater with Vietnam that in history no empire lasted more than 200 years. Americans did not listen continued to run the vehicle to the ground. The drivers of the vehicle were drunk by what was in the reverse mirror. Lets quantify what we have seen. How many battles Americans had started since the 60s? How much oil burnt and military hardware destroyed? How many young personnel died and how many lost opportunity costs? Many theories on why Secretary of Treasury went to Beijing twice in a short time. Issues are many. One may be to urge Beijing to dump consumers products into US. Notice the choice of word dumping was a good cover. If Beijing were to do that American domestic inflation would cool down by Octimerb. The question then turn back to Beijing? Would Beijing skillfully earn the respect? Brenda Lee sang Sorry in 1960. Not loud enough. In 1976 Elton John sand Sorry seems to be the hardest word to Beijing. Doubted. Not even President Xi's son-in-law.
Your guest missed the crucial point that Palestinians only supported hamas because there is nothing else for them after 70 years of occupation and 16 years of siege. More than 33000 people have been killed now. How many of their families will take up arms if they can? Life was NOT normal before October 7 for Palestinians and Israel holds most of the cards in this conflict. There are Arab political parties in Israel but they are never included in any alliance. If Jewish Israeli want to get rid of Netanyahu they simply need to form a coalition with the Arab parties. A government that systematically excludes 20% of the citizens is not a democracy.
