    He has also (today) suggested invading Cuba, he's bombing Nigeria and Somalia, and he hasn't stopped talking about annexing Greenland and Canada. So that's at least 7 countries in his sights.

    The dumb cunt clearly doesnt know about not starting wars on multiple fronts. Historically, it's not a great idea.

    Remember when the government was shut down and some billionaire friend of Trump stepped in and paid the military? Your generals are not gonna revolt, they're already paid off.

    Why do you expect the military leaders of the most utterly reprehensible empire of our times, which has killed millions, displaced tens of millions and condemned hundreds of millions to poverty within living memory, to have a conscience? These people are gangsers for capitalism, and capitalism has spoken; the law is secondary.

    This is the Heritage Foundation. Trump is their puppet.

    The Heritage Foundation isn't a puppet. It's the conglomeration of particularly wealthy and powerful Comstock cultists.

    Essentially it's like the USSR or CCP standing committee but instead of anything being pointed at them, they use Puppet Trump to absorb all the flack.

    The Heritage Foundation is a shadow organization calling all the shots.

    What's stopping China from invading Taiwan, now that America has shown the world once again that you can rob another country's resources with impunity if you're a nuclear superpower?

    This was the plan. Donald had been weirdly quiet about China in general and Taiwan in particular.

    He, Xi, and Putin have carved the world up into spheres.

    That's right. Trump gets the Western Hemisphere, Putin Gets Europe and West Asia, and China get the rest of Asia. Africa will be exploited by EVERYBODY.

    It's what I say and will always say until the United States fully reform: Trump is merely showing what America truly is which many people pretend not to be.

    That's "American Yankistani exceptionalism"

    Some unhinged people attack US:

    Their nationality, ethnicity, and religion are now all considered terrorists

    US attacks some country unprovoked:

    Nothing was ever stopping this since the US election - they've been pretty open about it happening in the next three years in the appropriate weather season.

    Two US carrier groups might have attempted to stop it, but the intellectual honesty and consistency of the US president was never a barrier.

    He mentioned the Monroe Doctrine during his announcement this morning, and he doesn't know what that is, or who Monroe was, but he has been told enough for him to believe that it means America has the right to control the entire Western Hemisphere.

    I was curious what was actually said by Mexico and here are the quotes:

    Trump hinted at a future conflict with Mexico in particular in an interview with Fox News Saturday morning.

    “Your vice president, JD Vance, said that the message is pretty clear: that drug trafficking must stop. So was this operation a message that you’re sending to Mexico, to Claudia Sheinbaum, the president there?” Fox’s Griff Jenkins asked.

    “Well, it wasn’t meant to be, we’re very friendly with her, she’s a good woman,” Trump began. “But the cartels are running Mexico. She’s not running Mexico.”

    “We could be politically correct and be nice and say, ‘Oh, yes, she is.’ No, no. She’s very, you know, she’s very frightened of the cartels. They’re running Mexico. And I’ve asked her numerous times, ‘Would you like us to take out the cartels?’ ... Something is gonna have to be done with Mexico.”

    She’s not running Mexico

    This is the stupidest trope being driven by the Right everywhere, including our own opposition. She has been doing wonderful things for the country.

    I'm just incredibly sad that the moment we actually get a competent president, one who acts on behalf of the people, one with a relevant college education, and the first woman in history to be our president, we won't get the chance to really savor the moment and see her actions through to some permanent change. Everything was going so well, man. I'm growing very resentful of Trump for this. It feels like we're getting our wings clipped fast.

    What country are you talking from? Mexico? Are you delusional? Shitbaum is looting our money right now, every politician from right and "left" is doing it.

    I don't agree with the US invading Mexico or the public right in the our country, but that's like saying Maduro was not a dictator either.

    Both things can be true, and going for nationalism in times of crisis it not the answer when our government it still corrupt just with another party in power

    1. Prove that Sheinbaum is "looting"

    2. That's not nationalism, broski

    3. Stop assuming things

    You are blinding yourself, she is connected to all the guachicol fiscal fiasco. She is the supreme commander of the Mexican army, the same one that is doing the looting.

    She's another Maduro in the works, but at least here they try to perform democracy for now.

    Good luck I hope you wake up soon.

    What is credible do you? Do you really think any traditional media would report that? This country is one of the worst places to be a journalist.

    The people in the military that could say anything were murdered on that same week the news about guachicol fiscal came out.

    As I said, good luck.

    Well, shoot your shot and I'll tell you if it's credible enough. That'll also give us a good idea of what kind of media you consume and what makes you say that.

    Because it's true that marines (not military) were killed, and that was reported all over the news. But your linking back to Sheinbaum doesn't seem to hold any water. How come?

    Or are you just going to come shit on the table and call it a day?

    Have protesters been shot by the State or this another hidden story being buried in mysterious ways?
