But it’s hard to predict without knowing his recent stock purchases and recent accepted bribes. Well, the White House is now asking Congress for extra $67b because the money for war is running out while Iran is threatening to enter Kuwait with ground army to go through the US bases there and capture POWs for negotiations.. So much winning! | ||

Canada and the USA did a great job working together to solve a difficult environmental issue. No tariffs , no sabre-rattling.. somehow the Republicans and the Progressive Conservatives, very quietly, got it done. https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/air-pollution/issues/transboundary/canada-united-states-air-quality-agreement-overview.html The human populations around the great lakes benefited enormously since 1991. Contrast this with the 3-ring circus surrounding the wildfires issue plaguing both sides of the great lakes region this year. Its sad man.. just sad. Turns out if you talk to people with a common goal, like a sane person, you can get stuff done. If you act like an insane bully and always try to "win" every human contact through abusive "manliness", nothing gets done and stuff gets worse. | ||

So much winning! This is by far the war that has been won the most! That being said, that sounds like an empty threat to me. If Iran was to move their army like that the US would quickly mop them up. It is the exact scenario they have trained for and are equipped with all the best stuff to deal with. Iran is best to just keep sending all their cheap drones they can launch from anywhere and have the US intercept them with super expensive anti air missiles and some getting through. Basically they can do so much economic damage with their drones, I don’t see any reason why they would risk any of their army. | ||

"“Well, we’re going to talk to them about it. It took place a long time ago. I think China is maybe a little bit different today than it was then,” Trump said in the Oval Office during a meeting with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun. " Its crazy how he completely ignores the entire point of the rhetorical goal of last week's propaganda proclamation. China is evil, China is bad, China is stealing our elections......" the consequences for that? "🤷" | ||

China needs to be a big scary boogeyman for the AMUHRICAN, so they allow Trump to push through anti-democratic legislation out of fear. But China shouldn't be antagonized into messing up trade, because the economy is already fucked enough, so no actions against China are to be taken. But if you're an AMUHRICAN you need to always remember that China is scary and wants to steal your vote! Remember you have always been at war with Eastasia! | ||
