The guy is used to failing upward and has now reached the highest position. There is no failing upward from being POTUS.
Oh no…it gets better.
He also lifted sanctions on Russian oil, thus giving money to the country that is sending troops and arms that are fighting against US backed operations in Ukraine, and also supplying Iran with weapons.
Litterally 1984
At this point I am not even sure whether Trump wants Ukraine to win.
Wdym at this point? He's been in office for over a year now
He just wants it to go away. No, I don’t think he wants Ukraine to win at all, he’d hand it all to Putin yesterday if he could. I think there are a few operating braincells in the administration that are preventing him from doing so, whatever the reasons are.
whatever the reasons are.
The US politicians use taxpayer money to fund the weapons that get sent to Ukraine. The US weapons manufacturers get that money. The US weapons manufacturers pay the US politicians. No great mystery. Not disagreeing with arming Ukraine, just wish it wasn't a necessity.
My tax dollars at work.
Also somehow my tax dollars at work.
Trump does not care who wins beyond how it affects him.
He wants distractions to keep himself and his loyal family out of prison.
US policy in regards to Ukraine is to bog Russia down. Same thing as when they were fighting in Afghanistan. The longer this conflict goes on, the better for US foreign policy objectives (and weapons manufacturers).
Are the Straits okay?
let me ask Knopfler
No, they're pretty dire.
Not like they're gonna get money for nothing and chicks for free.
I'd ask them myself but they're so far away from me.
I hear the Strait of Hormuz is getting a long needed vacation. Trump is making the Arabian peninsula great again!
Also no
It makes more sense when you realize Trump isn't working for Americans.
No way, Donald Trump is a foreign asset?!
Donald "Russia, if you're listening" Trump?
Donald "My Putin" Trump?
Donald "No puppet, no puppet, you're the puppet!" Trump?
That Donald Trump?
He doesn't even have to be a foreign asset to be not working for Americans. Personally, I believe he's working entirely for his own personal benefit, and the benefit of his family and some friends.
The level of graft is unprecedented in the US.
☝️
Makes sense if you're being paid off by the people who sell oil. High oil prices is good if you sell oil.
He didn't actually author the book, that would be work
The real author has said trump is illiterate
You got a source? I believe you but I need proof for some people
It's clearly evident anytime he reads something outloud. Most of his pronunciation issues around his first term were caused by him struggling to read a prompter and not comprehending what the words he just strung together mean.
That and the start of dementia.
Also he is very vain. His eyesight is terrible, has been for years. But he refuses to wear glasses. They set the autoprompter to a very large font, which means he easily loses his place. He often mistakes words and then tries to cover with all sorts of nonsense.
There are some pictures out there of him wearing glasses, but he tries to hide it as much as possible.
Imagine looking like that and still being vain, that's impressive actually. Same with that ridiculous "hair" he has and that famous picture when it was windy. Just buy a fucking wig man, the pig is rich enough and this just fuck my shit up hairdue is not fooling anyone.
He's also a world class moron.
Um, in the spirit of "what's good for the goose is good for the gander," lifting sanctions on Iranian oil does not make Iran any money at all. It just lowers prices in the country implementing the tariffs, the USA. The tariffs are the dumb idea, lifting them is good, even in this case.
(I know there are circumstances where tariffs are good. This does not seem to be one of them.)
You seem to be conflating sanctions and tariffs. Are you sure you know what you are talking about?
Um. Lifting the sanctions lets tankers carrying Iranian oil sell it on the global market and then turn around and buy more from Iran. How does that not make Iran money?
I'm tired of winning, boss.
And fucked all AI and chip related businesses because Ukraine and the middle east are the main sources of helium.
They also made China angry... Lithium for batteries, rare earth for magnets and optics.
Any other way to kick your own balls?
There's the new Donut Labs solidstate battery.
They claim that it doesn't use Lithium or Cobalt.
They're releasing specific third part tests that show they have something different, but we still don't have verification of the energy density or cycle life claims. Which are the two most important claims.
The third party is one that publishes the test you pay them to publish and nothing else. There's no details on the chemistry, density, or even verification that the different battery packs for the different tests are the same chemistry.
Before be dropped the first bomb: What did US intelligence service tell him the odds of reigniting the protests from January was?
The decision to start the war must be judged from what was known before it started.
Lmao you think they care?
Yes I very much do think they care. The CIA would say something like "we belive that it's 52% likely that protests would resume" and pentagon would say that "it would use up this many bombs, casualties would be in the range of x per week." This is their job, they are not politically appointed, they are well funded and as Maduro kidnapping shows they are reasonably good at what they do.
I'm certain every president would take the same action based on some number given by CIA and Pentagon and their personal risk apetite. Maybe Biden would have required 70% and 1 casuality while Trump would accept 40% and 10, we don't know. But every one of them would have tried at some risk/reward ratio.
