Little late to this comment I know but my issue is two fold.

1. Like it or not Israel is one of our only allies in the US and unlike nearly all of Europe they actually can back themselves up and as we've seen with the hamas conflice they fight dirty, they fight hard and they fight to win. that's likely to cost the US and Europe far more than it can hope to gain.

2. Even if Catholicism Orthodoxy, and Protestantism managed to come together and such a crusade was won...who gets control of the Temple Mount? I mean if I understand correctly both Orthodox and Catholics tend to belive that divine power comes from sites and relics and even protostants who don't believe in that sort of thing would still value its historical signifigance and would be aware of the power it would hold politically. speaking of which who gets to visit the Temple Mount. What's to keep the powers that be from restricting access, and or/charging a fortune so that only the rich and powerful can make a pilgrimage and "Show thier piety."

As nice as it may sound in theory for Jerusalem to be Christian again I can't help but get the feeling there is a reason why Jesus said "my kingdom is not of this world. If humans tried to make it one, it'd be turned into a "house of merchandize" real fast.

I think the important part is the Temple, not the mount. But I think you might be making mountains over mole hills. The secular authorities would have control of Jerusalem. There is not a single Christian nation in the world as far as I'm aware (that is to say a nation that is under the Social Reign of Christ the King).

The practical problem through is the area around it and security arrangements, as a certain religion interested in a certain place on the mount that is not the Temple tends to create security problems.

Yeah, that's fair. Islam is... not great.

Oh, I expect them to release a virus. I just am placing money on it being another not-so-dangerous virus that'll get ramped up as the coming of one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

See, that’s why actually releasing an actually dangerous virus this time around would be so effective. Because no one would suspect it’s real initially besides the Trust the Science crowd.

Problem with that is, the more dangerous the virus the less it really spreads. That's why lethal viruses typically mutate to something that is less dangerous but more communicable.

These drops are a direct result of Biden's economy as they happened because of earnings reports from the final quarter of 2024. Basically, this just confirms that the Biden and the Dems suck.
