I rather enjoyed this piece about the great President Trump whom history belatedly will recognize, as they did Reagan, as being one of the best presidents ever of this nation. Under Trump, America has ascended to having maximal control over the planet’s most vital resource, petroleum, that assures future national prosperity. Removing Maduro, was a brilliant strategic maneuver since Venezuela has the greatest oil reserves of any nation. Following Venezuela are the reserves of Saudi Arabia. The Canadian province of Alberta would be 4th in oil reserves. But what nation is 3rd? That would be Iran, and Trump is changing completely the relationship of the world with Iran. Small wonder so many people admire the audacious Donald J. Trump and have embraced his MAGA agenda.
We Didn’t Vote for “Nice,” Motherfuckers: The Brass-Knuckle Retribution America Actually Demanded
Good morning
The brass knuckle aesthetic is great for a movie trailer, but it’s a terrible way to run a country. You can’t just smash the China Shop and expect the shards to magically arrange themselves into a superpower; all you’re left with is a pile of broken glass and a massive bill for the cleanup. By trading strategic diplomacy for raw “retribution”, we’ve turned the global energy market into a chaotic gambling hall where the house is burning down, taking our domestic gas prices with it.
Audacity isn’t a substitute for a blueprint. We decapitated regimes in Venezuela and Iran only to find that power vacuum doesn’t care about “American Steel”, they care about the insurgencies and instability that follow when you break things without a plan to fix them. If “nice” is the language of the conquered, then “chaos” is the language of the overextended. We’re not exerting dominance; we’re just becoming the world’s most expensive, and most isolated security guard for a mess we went out of our way to create. The only thing Trump has succeeded in is fleecing the taxpayer of their money and handicapping Ukraine enough to keep that failed gas station of a country, Russia, still in the war.
Ya I’m all Trumped out @bikki228
I think he was needed… I think there was an effort there. But by engaging and furthering this war, and with gas now what it is… He is going against his clearly stated promises and basically saying “Fuck You I don’t care what your gas prices and cost of living is”. This is his war and the choice he made (I don’t know who to believe with regards to us simply being Israel’s dog on a leash here, but a lot of it seems to have merit)
I don’t want to hear about nukes, I don’t want to hear about “Biden’s economy”…. Or other excuses.
Either bomb them off the face of the earth (like you make these ridiculous claims to do every single week) or pull out and take the L… Whatever, just get my gas prices back to just high instead of ridiculously fucking high? Not to mention he was handed this term on a platter by asshead, delusional leftist wackjobs, and he seems to be doing all he can to hand it right back to them.
I haven’t given up hope, I’m still rooting for him, willing to be patient a little longer with gas and other prices a little longer. I believe he was needed and did accomplish some things, especially in the 1st term…. But gotta call em like I see em. This shit ain’t working… Maybe if I was still invested in the market I’d be a little more lenient, but others I’m all Trumped out. Shit or get off the pot and get someone in there who knows what they are doing.
I write this response from memory of past reading, neglecting to ferret out exact dates which are not important to the thesis. What exactly has Trump destroyed whose destruction is or was not warranted. In Venezuela, we had a Marxist dictatorship aligned with Cuba that served as a Chinese foothold in the Americas as well as containing the planet’s greatest petroleum reserves. Taking out Maduro allows us to gain an economic hole card against China, our foremost adversary. It also gave hope to millions of Venezuelans both within the nation as well as the prodigious numbers who have fled the scourge of leftist oppression. Regarding Iran, we are dealing with a nation that has embraced a radically eschatological rather than temporal view of the future. Their view in my opinion is similar to that of the followers of Antonio Conseliero recounted in Os Sertoes, the master work of Brazilian literature where the Brazilian army fought a legendary campaign in the Serrano region of the country against a legion of religious maniacs who terrorised the region. The maniacs created their own Stone Age fortress at Canudos and proved to be formidable warriors despite being armed with only stone knives and spears. The held off the army during several campaigns. Finally, the army prevailed but only after the maniacs fought down to the last woman and child. For near fifty years Iranians have been brainwashed by the same sort of fanaticism. They have embraced the embraced the religious creed of the the Twelvers, that is.m they hold that the Twelvth Iman will reappear once Israel is destroyed and the world subsequently will be submitted to Islam. Curiously they also believe that Jesus too will reappear in a future to secure the primacy of Islam. Their vision acknowledges that they as the true believers will need to suffer significantly as did their forbearers did, to have their world torn asunder, yet never to stop the battle preparing for the appearance of the Twelvth Imam. This the credo of the Revolutionary Guard of.Iran. The worst year of human existence occurred during the sixth century and was caused by a huge volcanic explosion in Iceland which released into the atmosphere enough particulate matter to block sunlight over the European continent for an entire year causing massive agricultural failure and continental starvation. This same scenario could be played out again should a nuclear war take place. Ergo, checking the power of Iranian fanaticism is warranted. I suggest further reading on eschatological philosophy.
Additionally, I suggest reading Os Sertoes. An English version is available—titled Rebellion in the Backlands by Euclides DaCunha. It is the masterpiece of Brazilian literature. It deals with the Sertao region of Brazil, one of the most inhospitable places on earth.
OK but that’s not what I heard during his campaign
I don’t like liars…And if the response is “All politicians lie” ok I get it, but I was told Trump wasn’t a politician
When you go out of you way 900 fucking times during your campaign to stay you are the “no wars” president and how you’re the only one who of the last 6-7 presidents who won’t have the country at war, etc, etc…Then within the first 16 months you are bombing everyone you think “Deserves it”?
And on top of it, you did it without the consent of congress, which again we can debate what his right as president is and whether congress is trying to sabotage him etc… I get it, Bikki. But this is HIS war…And he is doing so at the expense of the America people. So now a war going after SUPPOSED nukes (we supposedly destroyed last attack) and saying Fuck your gas prices America (how many times did I hear about gas prices during the campaign as well?), you can get over gas while we wipe out this Iran.
Then we don’t even wipe them out… We keep dragging this bullshyt out? Step over this line in the sand, no this one, no this one, I’m gonna blow you up…Just kidding. I mean does he have no shame? Get it done and stop breaking the people who voted you in’s bank accounts?
Seems like these “nukes” are a convenient excuse for me. As is the phrase “Biden’s economy”
Also I’ve heard everywhere countless times how Israel can wipe out their Mid East enemies anytime it wants? So if this is the alternative…then why aren’t they wiping them out? Instead just sit in limbo and pay $5 a gallon gas (going on a week now…over $4 a month) . Not to mention the price of anything else?
This doesn’t sound like what I heard Summer '24
