i'm way beyond tired of these fools that lie their way to win the presidency and then destroy more small countries. the orange man is particularly difficult because he knows nothing about history or diplomacy being used to bullying his way around. it don't work well with others or the world ;
We are nine months into the Donald Trump presidency and the road ahead seems pretty clear. There is an unsustainable one trillion dollar Pentagon budget supporting a newly renamed Department of War and Washington is engaged in conflicts that could escalate in Europe, Asia, South America and Africa. If it were possible to stage a bellicose incident near or in Antarctica that would also no doubt become a target, just as the Arctic region is currently playing into fantasies involving Greenland and Canada. Trump has even stopped talking to friendly neighbor Canada about trade relations over an ad that he did not like and no doubt will be discussing invasion soon. And let’s not forget the conflict here at home where Trump is citing the Insurrection Act regularly, signaling his intention to expand the already existing use of the military to carry out law enforcement functions in America’s states and cities, something that is of questionable legality under the Posse Comitatus Act.
The supreme irony is that all of the conflicts have been unnecessary, involving as they do countries and entire geographic regions that in no way threaten either the United States or what were once referred to as its vital interests except insofar as those interests have been grossly and one might suggest criminally misrepresented. That is what we are witnessing right now as what appears to be fishermen are being murdered by US forces positioned in the international waters of the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. In the latest incident involving sinking a Colombian vessel and killing two crewmen in the Pacific, Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro denounced the crime and was in turn called a “thug” by Trump, who once again has demonstrated his skill at diplomacy. Trump has also warned that the war on “narco-terrorists” might well shift from the sea to “on land” in the countries being targeted, meaning that they will be invaded with the intention of regime change.............more...........
