the US will never stop meddling internationally as long as they can keep the majority of us focused on homegrown stressors directly impacting our daily lives. they have wrapped themselves up in too many interests. Venezuela now, Laos then. who knows where next?
He’s not merely looking to meddle. He’s looking to make money for the oligarch class. There’s a ton of natural resources and labour for them to exploit there. If you’re organized you may get some of it.

It’s being talked about in places like this where a tiny fraction of the people are aware of what’s going on but not between normal everyday people. I can tell you with no uncertainty that only two or three people in my entire workplace of a few hundred people are even remotely plugged in. Hell even the union reps are asleep at the wheel.

Yes. I actively engage the people I work with to figure out who is and isn’t safe to talk to about this sort of thing and to try to get more of them involved in the community.
Not I doubt it.. I’m making fun of everyone that thinks Trump can’t be president unless we have Epstein files.. I understand MAGA upset cause it was a campaign promise.. Libs and Dens are just on the band wagon stoking the flames
It looks like a Bill Clinton flew on his private jet 37 times and complained that Epstein stole his child prostitutes while also being best friends with Epstein. Case closed! Thank you for your attention in this matter.
I thought there was something in the constitution that let the president suspend elections if the US is at war? If not, my bad, I must have misunderstood.

Just a reminder the Trump tried to organize a coup against Venezuela the last time he was in office (John Bolton, the national security advisor, said so in an interview)
It was a soft coup in the guise of that guy: Juan Guido.
He popped out of nowhere, months (maybe even a year) after Venezuela’s elections, with the US supporting him as the legitimate winner. And because the US does it, so do all the puppet European states.
It was really confusing episode to me at the time. Only when Bolton’s interview came out did it make sense to me.

No need for war for 2026, with systematic-de-registration already in-play ( he even openly promised he would “wipe the blue-states off the map”, which is exactly what removing blue-votes does ).
War’d then be needed as a “lever” only for 2028.
That’s when he’ll declare war against Canada, -/+ 1y.

Them or Cuba are the easy, ideologically popular pickings, right? Instead, he’s been looking north, but that’s typical of his level of competence, I guess.
So that he can, with Alaska, Greenland, & the US Navy, extinguish all trade with Canada, so that he can convert us to his carrion, quicker ( he is getting older )…
Once he’s “King of North America”, then between Putin & him, they can DESTROY the hated-by-both woke EU.
Their temporary tiffs & difficulties ( Putin, Trump, Musk, Netanyahu, etc ), are only temporary, & the far-right will become coherent as they realize how fundamentally they hate their common-enemy: civil-rights.
Then the world will turn, & their currently unconscious game will fully-deploy.
Wait & see.
Unconscious-strategy’s significant, in our world…
Hamas’s unconscious-strategy’s going to work, too…
They offered that Israel could genocide the Palestinians…
…but the reaction against that, which will take a few years more to happen,
will be when Israel’s “deterrent” no-longer deters Muslim anybody,
because they’ll be surrounded by countries willing to risk EVERYthing for sake of annihilating Israel.
Israel took the bait, & its psychopathy is carving its mark into the regional-population.
They’re going to be annihilated, … late this-decade, from the looks of it.
( there is an unfulfilled Christian prophecy, Matt 24, about it, btw, if you consider there to be any significance in a Jew, benJoseph himself, prophecying the annihilation of Israel, in a way that no assault on Israel in history matches, but … now is guaranteed to happen, in only a few more years )
& that is how unconscious-strategy can be playing its game, while surfacemind is scrambling helter-skelter, willy-nilly, in all directions, chaotically, mindlessly…

The key to seeing/understanding unconscious-strategy was given by “John Braddock” in his trilogy on thinking/strategy/risk…
Solve which category-of-GAME each player is playing…
Postive-sum, win-win-alliance, game, is healthiest…
Zero-sum, competitive-narcissism, game, is presumed to be the ONLY game, among moneyarchy & concentration-of-wealth-archy, authority-archy, institution/legalism-archy, class-system-archy, etc.
Negative-sum, competitive-nihilism, game, is mass-shooters, accelerationism, etc: ruling a portion of the world while enforcing the butchering of all others, is how one “wins” in that category-of-game. The greater the “importance”/“authority” & the greater of destruction-of-others, make one’s “score” in this category of game…
Trump’s enforcing that there won’t every be any ruler of the US who tops him, & that means negative-sum game.
He’s not firing individual-bullets-into-others, in his “mass-shooting”, he is firing legislations, destroying the lives of entire populations, in his “mass-shooting” of the US of A’s constitution & principles.
He keeps escalating… has been for decades, … so why bother pretending surprise, as the “journalists” do, with their cultivated-and-pushed- incredulity at every escalation, helping to normalize them all…
So, extrapolate the trend, & see what happens, keeping-in-mind that the vertical-scale ( cost of his mission’s action ) is logarithmic…
He’ll declare war against Canada in 3y or less?
Something like that.
He’ll convert Canada to the Ukraine of the Americas.
What’re we going to do about it?
( fight like hell! : )
There’s 1 thing which “levels the playing-field”, though:
He’ll be waging multiple wars, simultaneously: Southward, into other countries, internally, US Civil War Part2, AND with Canada…
That gives us chance, if we are acting coherently, systematically, ruthlessly-effectively, now…
I hope our leaders understand that…

He can’t declare war OR cancel elections.
Won’t stop him from doing both, though.

No such thing.
You may be thinking of Lincoln suspending the writ of habeas corpus during the Civil War?
Constitution, Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2:
Lincoln signed off on a law saying that the President could suspend the right under the same conditions.

I love that the idiotic yanks are talking about the pedo files as if america needed that to fuck up another country.
The people I know that are from Venezuela are pretty happy about this, they see this as a chance to get rid of Maduro.
In exchange for what? The Trump admin won’t support anyone sane
In exhange of a increased standard of living. Whatever “increased” would be, it would probably be much better than the current situation.
Not with whoever Trump would support
