funny thing, the leader of the Iraq attack was in the white house for a visit when the Manchurian ( Obama was in office )... Trump sent troops to guard the embassy, Hillary just rolled over and went back to sleep
Nevermind that our enemies aren't threatened by us whatsoever anymore. The US bit off more than it can chew. Not even blaming Trump.
We have by far the worlds strongest 20th century army... We legitimately have major cyber security challenges, and we aren't doing enough to address them. Forget the election, I'm talking banking and utilities.
Can we really face the brunt of China and Russia against us? Plus North Korea and Iran? While our allies have no faith in us anymore? We couldn't even stop the 9/11 attacks. In fact, they were completely fumbled. I don't care how much money we spend on military. When it comes down to it we're practically defenseless.
Leaked emails on Ukraine aid freeze bolster case for witnesses at Senate trial: Schumer ABC News January 2, 2020, 5:55 PM EST Leaked emails on Ukraine aid freeze bolster case for witnesses at Senate trial: Schumer excerpt: "Questions have remained, however, as to why Trump was insisting on the hold when both the Pentagon and State Department had cleared the aid because Ukraine had met the necessary anti-corruption benchmarks. While acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney has said the hold was because Trump was not a “fan” of foreign aid, the president in his July 25 phone call with Ukraine’s president asked the foreign power to investigate his political rival, Joe Biden, and Biden’s son, Hunter. Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee who led the inquiry leading to the partisan vote in favor of President Donald Trump’s impeachment, said the emails undermine the White House argument that the aid was held for a legitimate reason. The law provides for narrow exemptions for the executive branch to withhold spending so long as the administration informs Congress of those decisions. “But the documents show a compelling desire to prevent Congress from finding out,” Schiff wrote in a statement he tweeted. “If there was a legitimate reason to place the hold and there was no concern about violating the law, they would have told Congress. But of course they did not, since the whole point of the aide freeze was to coerce Ukraine into interfering in our election to help the president.”"
The Big Mac incident is the epitomy of Trump. His inflated ego wanted to latch on to the college football champs so that he could feel like a champion and try to quell his insatiable inferiority complex. The dinner was spoiled by his government shutdown that he was using to try to coerce Congress into making U.S. taxpayers pay for his wall. He failed even when both House and Senate were controlled by Republicans, symbolic of his lack of ability to govern. He failed initially at not being able to make Mexico pay for his wall after endless raving about supposedly being the best dealmaker. If he had succeeded at that, he wouldn't have had a need to shut down the government in the first place. His dinner remedy was to serve Big Macs and other fast food from his favorite restaurant to football players who were expecting a hot dinner. They might as well have gone to McDonald's and got it served hot. Trump could have at least ordered dinners better than the fast food that his former fired-resigned, failed Veterans Administration Secretary nominee, White House physician Ronny Jackson said, that if he would eat less of it, he would live to be 200.
I mean, we're playing civilization/risk fantasy at this point, but a war against the two second strongest militaries in the world combined? If we all went full scale we'd create some Fallout like post apocalyptic world, and really I'd be able to start my own country at that point, assuming I'm not eaten by radioactive zombies. So short answer is I'd win that war.
If we are to believe the official story of 9/11, we are defenseless here in the homeland. We couldn't stop hijacked planes. Now what if Russian migs or whatever the fuck they're flying these days entered our airspace? Basically what I'm saying is 9/11 was a hoax.
Has anybody noticed that the Trump administration has majorly escalated the situation re Iran by killing two top figures in its militia operations in Iraq: Gen. Qassem Suleimani, a senior Iranian commander, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, a pro-Iranian militia leader who was a senior figure in Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces. Stay tuned for the predictable round of retaliation and counter-retaliation. Here we go again!
