  1. My opinion, Trump is actually a few weeks/months away from nature taking it’s course and he’s trying to get something to keep him in the history books. Consequences be damned. Not that maybe a lot of this wasn’t the plan but I think the acceleration can be attributed to it.

    It’s either that or the Epstein stuff is so bad he has to blow up the world order to distract from it.

    It’s also possible they know from internal polling the midterms are going to be a bloodbath.

    It is always refreshing hearing Bob Rae’s takes on these matters, especially now that he is no longer acting in an official capacity and can speak his mind a bit more. Full interview is on CBCs power and politics podcast from yesterday. The interview is a lot less click baiting than this headline.

    He would not be wrong.

    >”The next conservative President should go beyond merely defending America’s energy interests but go on offense, asserting them around the world.” ***pg 45 Project 2025 Mandate for leadership***

    Why take this approach?

    >”Full-spectrum strategic energy dominance would facilitate the reinvigoration of America’s entire industrial and manufacturing sector as we disentangle our economy from China. Globally, it would rebalance power away from dangerous regimes in Russia and the Middle East. It would build powerful alliances with fast-growing nations in Africa and provide us the leverage to counter Chinese ambitions in South America and the Pacific.” ***ibid.***

    Which creates a kind of balance of power where the most aggressive survive and the weak perish.

    Which seems like a step backwards for the world.
    Which is going to suck.

    The World’s greatest superpower has gone rogue, and the other countries are like deer caught in the headlights.

  6. trump has never been in control. he has handlers that control him. he’s a puppet, a stooge, a pawn, a Underling, a Vassal. hes just the front man to take the fall and all the blame.

    Says the former failed Provincial Premier.

    Of course he’s going to say that as a Liberal stooge.

  8. I would argue the opposite.

    They are very much in control, like imperial powers tend to be.

    Until the cycle ends. And people are ready for peace. But we’re far off from that.

    Everybody with a functional cerebral cortex says Trump administration is ‘out of control’.

    This is what Americans voted for. His first term and Jan 6 didn’t open their eyes.

  11. The pot is kettle black coming from a guy who couldn’t even run a province properly for 5 years.

    Personal opinion from a peace keeping perspective, the UN is possibly the most useless organisation I have ever worked with, people within the UN are more concerned about optics rather than actually keeping the peace.

    Any country that is serious about cutting wasteful spending should leave and stop contributing…

    How was it illegal? International law is relatively unenforceable. How was it unjustified? The Biden administration put a $25 million bounty on his capture?

    Simping for a dictator looks good on you.
