"Saudi financial resources, Turkey's defense industry, and Pakistan's nuclear capability" -- something many of us pointed out a few weeks ago as the anchor behind this alliance.

The unreliability of the US as an ally or friend is now a permanent fixture in the geo-sphere, thanks to its unwavering economic and military support to Pariah nation Israel, a Rogue state which has callously liquidated 75,000 human beings in the Gaza Strip (per The Lancet UK), allows Israeli terrorists to kill Palestinians and seize their property in the West Bank, and displaced one million people in Lebanon (per the UN).

Of this culpability there is no doubt to anyone on the planet.

"But, hey! In 2024 we got the gosh-darned 140 Israeli hostages released! To heck with ten million progressives, pacifists, antiwar veterans, pro-Palestine volunteers, and Samaritans trying to feed the starving Gazans and stop the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) from slaughtering them with American taxpayer money!"

No one should dispute Danforth in terms of mathematics, actuarial statistics, tax codes, and basic number crunching.

That is his metier.

About whom dost thou refer to about "raison d'etre" or "metier"? Danforth the CPA or Coriolanus, the poor kitty struggling with a MS XP PC?
