Stupid man..

 

 

No, he's moved on from buying Greenland. Now he simply thinks the US should control it (capture it). Apparently annexing Canada was a joke. There are hints about taking over Mexico. He's not even in office year. Apparently he's no Nazi, but already  embarking on Lebensraum. Invading Ukraine is apparently bad, but MAGAts are now cheering on invation of Panama.

 

As a young student in Tennessee, I attended a speech given by the then Present Bush in January 1990. The US had just invaded Panama, to capture Noreiga. Probably a morally justifiable action. But this President was comparing it to a recent basketball match. Pretty flippant. Trump has given the impression that he wanted to end all this flippancy, and no more wars, pull out of NATO etc etc.  But John Bolton reminded us to day that Trump is an idiot. He was an idiot 20 years go. With age, his widom didn't increase. Instead the idiocy gene started expressing more and more.

  • he U.S. took over the project in 1904 under President Theodore Roosevelt, and completed construction in 1914. The U.S. paid around $375 million for the canal, which included $10 million paid to Panama

Canada is a net exporter of oil. 52% of it goes to Merka. 

Maybe Trudeau should cut that off, too.

No just put a 25% export duty on it.

Nazi’s were socialist? So much for having a secure foundation in History and Geopolitics, like you claimed.

 

The Nazi party (National Socialists) adopted "Socialist" as part of a branding exercises. They needed to win votes from people viting Socialist. So figured changing their name would work. And it did. The Nazis were originally called Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; the German Worker's Party.

There is a documentary on Y.T showing the building of the canal...An incredible piece of construction...Every American should watch this and it should be shown on all schools in the U.S.....Trouble is...Anything the greatest race in history has done must now never be broadcast...

 

American is a race? If so then more like the dumbest.

Imagine what the Brits might demand should be 'returned' to them.

 

We want Ohio and Wisconsin back. Spain might want Florida back. The City of St Augustine was largely paid for by the British taxpayer afgter we burnt down the original Spanish settlement.

 

Just a joke though.

They where christians to. Seems every totalitarian leaders, embrace religion for good reasons. Meaning it gives the party or the cause a "deeper" meaning and connection with the people. Not unlikely how Trump embrace his religion and relegious leaders. Quite impressive for a man like him, being religious I mean

 

Nazi Germany was an overwhelmingly Christian nation. A census in May 1939, six years into the Nazi era[1] and a year following the annexations of Austria and Czechoslovakia[2] into Germany, indicates[3] that 54% of the population considered itself Protestant, 41% considered itself Catholic, 3.5% self-identified as Gottgläubig[4] (lit. "believing in God"),[5] and 1.5% as "atheist".[4] Protestants were over-represented in the Nazi Party's membership and electorate, and Catholics were under-represented.

Only just fired up my laptop and already hit the dumbest comment of the day........which race are we talking about just out of interest......and what metric are you using for greatest? 

 

Accidental gun deaths?

Slaughter of SE Asians?

Pollution?

Rate of consumption of precious resources?

Destruction of indigenous populations?

I assume you meant "invasion".

Stop making it up. Taking back the canal forcibly is not the same as invading the whole country. I'm not in favour of that, given it's illegal, but IMO the US should never have given it away in the first place.

I hope you are not implying that Bolton is a "good guy". He got the boot for a reason.

 

While you are complaining that Trump is an idiot ( which makes him an ideal politician- idiots welcome in that club ) you might ask yourself how an idiot thrashed the one selected by the elites of the Democrat party in the election, winning not only the EC but the popular vote and all the swing states.

You can put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig. The GDR (East Germany, aka the German Democratic Republic) called itself democratic. I can call myself the emperor of the universe until I’m blue in the face, but that doesn’t make it true. The nazi’s called themselves socialist, but there was nothing socialist about them.

a small invasion, no blood shed...

BTW the Panama Canal does NOT belong to the USA., but to PANAMA.

 

Until the body bags of US troops get flown back to the USA.

 

That should make the vain old man happy.

He does not need to study it. 

 

All the information that he is required to know, is passed down from his adored leader.

 

If the master says it it is a good idea, then he must believe it and pass it on.

That's not why Trump won, That is standard for elections. The reason Trump won, that you apparently ignore, is that the Dems inserted, without any public approval, a gibbering idiot into the campaign.
