That would actually be smart, and would entirely miss the point. It's not about oil now (I mean oil will be NICE) it's about moving the narrative.

He'll happily kill thousands to do it with flashy jets and bombs and such. That's the story he's telling. It's about showing off to regain lost face.

I live in Qualicum Beach, pretty much the retirement capital of Canada. The general consensus during Trump 1 was "that guy seems a little confused." Trump 2 it's "Fuck that guy and that country."

I just can't express how much bad stuff had to happen to get that second response out of a Canadian.

So the supposition "he would need to commit to an occupation" is just totally, utterly, wrong on all fronts. Applying the past and what "other Presidents have done" to Trump is an entirely pointless activity that the world seems in love with.

It just doesn't work or we wouldn't be here.

And "wrecking shit" is more than possible from the air, when you're just talking about humanitarian infrastructure.

It's really hard to keep a government going when everyone is starving and dying of disease. No other President would do that. Trump wouldn't even blink.

You're not understanding. All he has to do is wreck shit and step back. He can arm anyone he wants to take over the ruins.

Occupations do not work.

He's still just a little baby. 4 months old!

Yes. It’s 1952 in the pic.

Me too.
