All along it seems like Trump is really siding with Russia.
He likes Putin, Xi, Lukashenko, Kim Jung Un, Oban, Netanyahu and Bolsonaro because he sees them as strong, controlling their people with a rod of iron, secret police, torture chambers and fear. That’s the kind of leader h would like to be. He likes Dictators. That’s what he’s doing with ICE and dismantling democracy in the USA.
He doesn’t respect the rest of Europe and the world because he sees democracy is weakness.
He really thinks that people in general are scum. They are gullible minions to be lied to and abused and should grovel and know their place. The only people who are worthwhile are the billionaire elite. They are worthy.
So, without telling allies, using only the combined intelligence of the inept sycophantic incompetents he has surrounded himself with (and the war criminal Netanyahu), based on some narcissistic gut feeling, Trump cooks up a plan. He is going to blow the hell out of Iran, blow them back to the stone age and get a regime change.
Just like in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan they kill lots of people and blow all the military to bits. But they have no plan other than bomb the place. In the course of which they kills thousands of ordinary people and turn the population against them. There is no plan about how to achieve change, topple the regime or finish the war and it all starts going horribly wrong.
Having started it without a plan or real end point and exit strategy they then expect their allies (who he has roundly insulted and belittled) to support this stupid folly.
When the allies (who have far better understanding of the enormity of the task and difficulties involved) decline to become embroiled in a hugely expensive and futile campaign he turns on them.
Instead of a simple black and white scenario, wade in blow things up, they surrender and a new regime comes in – it’s a messy, hugely expensive war. Instead of rolling over the regime starts blowing up oil refineries, tankers and military bases all over the region. It’s mayhem. They hold the straits and hold the world to ransom. Cost fly sky high and the regime holds all the cards (precisely why the allies did not want to get involved and would not have done it). But you can’t tell the class bully anything can you?
So Trump releases sanctions on Russia, disbands NATO and attacks allies.
Isn’t that what he always wanted? He’s been supporting Putin and Russia all along and undermining NATO, the USA and the whole western alliance.
He’s a Russian stooge isn’t he? That’s why Russia helped get him elected!
If he had involved allies from the beginning…
Put together a good plan (with objectives and well-thought through strategy, aims and exit plan), coordinated with allies, that might have worked…
If he hadn’t been rude and abusive to allies….
You get what you voted for – an ignorant, rude, coarse, vulgar, uneducated narcissist with megalomaniac qualities who surrounds himself with stupid, inept, uneducated sycophants.
No wonder everything goes wrong! You’ve put a decrepit conman in charge! (But he has made himself $5 billion dollars so far (while putting trillions on the national debt)).
