Trump's AMERICA : 2018 (& world reaction )
- Thread starter Ocean Breeze
- Start date
Seems like he should have more politicians in there with him or did the Courts have a different term for them. Trump is stooge, without the ones who are making corruption a family business in there too what is the point other than just another false flag operation completed.
A judge rejected key parts of President Trump��s push to make it easier to fire government workers, in a blow to G.O.P. efforts to rein in unions.

Now, nearly 17 years later, the Americans and their allies such as Australia are still there. As Engelhardt said, they arrived uninvited, trashed the place, and refused to leave.
The longer they stay, the hollower the original justification is revealed to be the case. The public is still fed the same nonsensical excuses, such as training the Afghan troops to be able to be responsible for their own security. Evidence of ‘ghost’ troops, rampant corruption and a manifest unwillingness as well as an inability to be an effective fighting force has done nothing to diminish the propaganda.
Rather than bringing ‘peace and stability’, training Afghans to a mythical self-sufficiency, or helping rebuild Afghanistan’s shattered infrastructure, the time is long past for an honest appraisal of what western Allied forces are really trying to achieve in Afghanistan. There are a number of motives that readily reveal themselves.
The first relates to Afghanistan’s geography. It is strategically located in close proximity to, or bordering upon, the United States’ designated enemies, China, Iran and Russia. A map of US military bases shows that they closely follow the pipeline route, and are readily accessible to the poppy fields that once again produce more than 90% of the world’s heroin.
The refining of opium into heroin requires imported chemicals, and those are flown into Afghanistan on planes operated by the occupying NATO forces. This should not come as a surprise, despite being totally suppressed by the western media. Peter Dale Scott (American War Machine, 2010) and Alfred McCoy (Politics of Heroin New ed. 2003) have long pointed out the central role of drug trafficking in the financing of CIA clandestine operations.
Those military bases have also fulfilled a further role as ‘black sites’ where alleged terrorists are illegally rendered, to be tortured, indefinitely imprisoned, or simply disappeared.
A second reason relates to Afghanistan’s resource wealth. One of the least publicized facts about Afghanistan is it is enormous potential as a source of oil, gas, precious metals, precious stones, and perhaps most significantly rare earth minerals.
A number of US geological survey reports in recent years have conservatively estimated Afghanistan’s resources and those areas to be in excess of $3 trillion. It is hardly surprising given this potential bonanza, which Trump himself described as being sufficient to pay for Afghanistan’s own occupation, that the United States and its allies “refuse to go home.”
The third factor relates to the geopolitical changes occurring in the region. As corrupt and incompetent as the current Afghanistan government is, it is still able to discern that the continued US occupation is a road to nowhere. Afghanistan has, since June 2012 had observer status of the Shanghai Corporation Organisation, rapidly emerging as one of the most influential groups in the Eurasian region.
The SCO grouping poses a progressively stronger challenge to the US centred geopolitical world, and the US is not giving up its previous unipolar status without a fight.

Trump bitterly attacks FBI on Twitter and warns he may ‘get involved’ and investigate Hillary’s emails himself
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/08/trump-threatening-get-involved-investigating-hillarys-emails/
His resentment of Hillary is affecting his judgement ......(umpired as it is.) He just can't let go of it.
Doesn't he realise he ac actually "won".....?? But that is no t enough for him.......he has to DESTROY her like he destroys those he perceives as enemies. or those that offended him. (real or imagined )
That is just sick.
It is also SICK.......to attack those he has an issue with on Twitter. Can't he do ii in person or in a private memo?? .........Why hang out his dirty laundry out here for the world to see?/ It only diminishes him....even more. In reality HE is the US biggest security risk. as he is too emotional . unstable and irrational. Poor impulse control factors in as well.

Why not a full scale roundup by some honest lawmen. (if they still have any down there) He is a paper pres, twitter is the only thing he does on his own.
Here’s how Trump has turned the entire world against the US in less than two years

I'm pretty sure that is specific to just the US, the rest of the planet was tired of the US by the end of the Vietnam war.
This is a pretty good interview concerning the US-China trade war.
The guy being interviewed is quite reputable and I have been following him for years.
He claims that the future looks great for Trump's America.
The interview does not begin until about 1/2 way through the video.

This is an earlier interview which I previously posted here in these forums.
Good background information.

"He claims that the future looks great for Trump's America."
Must be for internal circulation because the Nations are bailing on the US as fast as they can. Any nation who has any money (or will have) is not going to hook up with a nation that breaks every deal they make and war of some sort is waged if you opt out of their form of 'friendship'.
The unemployment in the US would raise how much if the war machine was parked due to lack of enemies? 20% ???
Hey Walnut, why not give Trump a monkey suit so he knows his role in American Politics?

Of course it is wrong, the hatred had been growing since at least 1991. Here is a clue why.
Madeleine Albright - The deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children was worth it for Iraq's non existent WMD's
Walnut:
Why do you think all the deaths since 1991 were worth it, did your stocks paid you some blood-money?

No it isn,t, the entire world has been subject to Americas looting and pillage and war and has learned to expect poison from any deal. Thier product is suspect and not just because of the substandard paint jobs. Walter they,ve been wrung out and left to dry by the bankers, just like Germany. Trump is not as smart as Hitler though. The harder they struggle the faster the quicksand envelopes them. War will be thier choice, of course, and they will lose, spectacularly, and the world will party, for a bit.

This is a reality thread Walnut. Did you expect the lies to outlive you? When you cross a bridge from now on check out the 'jumping points' for all the little picks that think their stocks will keep them warm in winter through thick and thin.
Have somebody film and post it so I can have a beer.

That is the way I saw it and many more vids only support that (horrific) sentiment. You can bet the total figure for all deaths is above 2M.
EXACTLY......and reality, just like facts, Evidence and the harsh "truth" may not be what one wants to see and hear.ergo: DENIAL.
It only hurts for a brief moment,denial never leaves on its own, it needs a push from the inside. ('that's not right' is one of the first signs )
