The David Hunter Perspective - April 2nd 2025

1)Is Israel Using Mass Starvation As Method For Releasing Hostages?: On March 2nd, 2025, Israel broke off it's official 'ceasefire' w/ Hamas, and imposed a total blockade on goods going into Gaza. They even cut off electricity lines used to process drinking water for 600,000 Gazans, and cut off all trucks bringing flower and gas for their bakeries. Israel's far right Minister of National Security, Ben Gvir, says this action is justified until Hamas releases all remaining hostages. What do you think?

2)Is U.S. Planning A Military Attack On Iran?: On March 31st, 2025 U.S. President Trump threatened to bomb Iran if it doesn't start negotiations on 'nuclear disarmament'. And Secretary of Defense Hegseth recently ordered a second US Aircraft Carrier Strike Group to the Middle East, allegedly to augment the USS Harry Truman, currently being used to launch fighter jet attacks on Houti bases in Yeman. Finally, five U.S. B-2 bombers have been re positioned from Whitman AFB in USA to "Camp Thunder Cove" on the tiny island in the Pacific, Diego Garcia. Does all this look like staging for a direct US attack on Iran?

3)Trump's Secondary Tariffs---A New Form of Economic Warfare?: Trump has threatened to impose what he is calling 'secondary tariffs' of 25% on all products of all countries that import Venezuela's oil and gas, and perhaps soon expanding to imports of Russian oil and gas. What are these 'secondary tariffs' and how are they supposed to work? Will there be any backlash?

4)Trump's Quest For Greenland: Last Friday, President Trump approved VP Vance and his wife visiting the US-controlled Thuel Air-force Base in northern Greenland. But Trump has suggested that he needs to take over Greenland ---by military means if necessary,---- since it is a critical national security area. What do you think of this idea?
