Sam, off-topic, but you really need to take care of that forsaken plant behind you. Looks like it is too late, however.

Of course Trump is helping Russia. Putin has groomed him as an asset for decades. So the one profiting from Trump's war is Russia/Putin.

Run, don't walk, to your book source and get Bob Woodward's "War" - the story of Biden's role in the Israeli invasion by Hamas in October, 2022. The response to that tragedy was PLANNED out with a difficult Netanyahu and a COMPETENT staff from D.C. who united the Middle East parties involved with the ongoing conflict chaos in various venues. Biden set the standard of how a President handles a potential WW III situation with patience, thoroughness and skill. Versus what we have now: an yclept leader who spurns the press who refuses to carry water for an authoritarian, who, in turn, does not surround himself with people who know what they are doing that is best for the national interest. I had to read it twice to get the full impact of just how skillfully Woodward wrote the history that has now been upset by a bully, non-interested aristocrat who thinks only of himself and his buddies in Epsteinland.

You guys!! You have to stop thinking any of this is about democracy - this is all about making $$. Lindsey Graham flat out said it on tv - we are going to go around “and take out bad guys, cut deals and make money”. Between Venezuela, Iran they have 31% of the world’s oil and we’re gonna make money.

Just stop, think, follow the money. Trump is only about making money. Deals. Period

For contrast, run, don't walk, to your nearest online/offline book store for a copy of Bob Woodward's "War" which parses the Hamas invasion/seizure of hostages of Israel. It was parallel to Obama's dealing with the Iranian nuclear issue in its studied planning about how to get there from here, which Cheeto pulled the rug out from under and follows up with an unadvisable two-time bombing of Iran without any fallback, out of any attempt to plan a follow up move or moves. I had to read it twice to achieve some logical sense of what a PLAN really means if you take the COUNTRY'S interests to heart as the basis of a course of action. Which didn't ever happen here. Biden did a terrific job in guiding what his plan to recover the hostages for Israel meant by involving all the local countries, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and other ME countries in the PLAN. The whole process took a long time, but Biden took the measure of Netanyahu's foibles (I think he (N) thinks like Cheeto - that is, not very much).

Until this Administration understands that trigger-happy bombing doesn't fix anything and that PLANNING is sine qua non AND you have people under you who are at least competent and aware of how to be empathetic with others around them, we will continue to come in with a sinking feeling every morning from here on in and our economy is and has been taking a hit.

Stalin, Cheeto, And A Clown Shoe

In a wonderful and poignant article over at Democracy Docket(https://bit.ly/3PkS3rr) Marc Elias puts the CNPP(Christian Nationalist Pedo Party) cabinet clown show in ritualistic humiliation by the Der Fuhrer Cheeto

Using Alexander Solzhenitzen’s novel in understanding autocratic behavior Elias describes Cheeto’s attitude about shoes saying “you can really tell a lot about a man by his shoe size” This perfectly sums up Cheeto’s demented perverted sick malignant narcissistic mind

And the whole world is paying for it in spades with the looney tunes in office with his “have a feeling in my bones” as to when to end the war Meanwhile the global economy suffers Sir what power you have, Sir!! WE the People have the CNPP to thank for this Vote these clowns out of office this November

Trump’s idea of putting out a fire is, add more fuel. He did that to the farmers ( who voted for him) by putting tariffs on the countries that bought their crops. Now he is bailing them out. He wants other countries to send in ships to help him in the Straight of Hormuz to help him in his folly. Talk about pissing money away. No wonder he has had at least 6 bankruptcies, one at a casino! How do you bankrupt a casino???!
