Well, yes, it makes sense that Itamar Ben-Gvir would think the question of sovereignty has nothing to do with the people who actually live there

Trump gets the "FIFA Peace Prize." Months later his DOJ drops a bribery case involving FIFA officials. FIFA "leases" office space at Trump Tower NYC that reportedly sits empty. Meanwhile, federal regulators look the other way as FIFA price gouges fans. Where's the red card when you need it?

Nobody in his/her right mind would consider buying US weapons right now, if there is a viable alternative, and I say this as long-time military blogger. For defense and technology companies in Europe, South Korea, Japan, Canada, Brazil, Australia and elsewhere, gold rush times have begun.

So, now ALL THE HISTORIANS are fleeing here from the Hellsite, I’m looking for someone to join in a project bid who knows their way round the relevant archives for tracing soldiers from colonial India during the interwar period. Anyone out there? Pls pass on…
