Iran War | Political & Economic Impacts



“…Putin, though, signalled again that Russia was ready to supply oil and gas to Europe. Russia is the world's second largest oil exporter and holds the world's biggest reserves of natural ⁠gas.

… "If European companies and European buyers suddenly decide to reorient themselves and provide us with long-term, sustainable cooperation, free from political pressures, free from political pressures, then yes, we've ‌never ⁠refused it. We're ready to work with Europeans too. But we need some signals from them that they're ready and willing to work with us and will ensure this sustainability and stability," Putin said….”
 
Brilliant, yeah, let's just keep killing foreign heads of state, wack-a-mole style, instead of attempting diplomatic relations. That will surely help burnish our image and bolster our standing around the globe.

And the other shoe drops. Vlad "the Ras" Putin to St. Donald of Mar-a-Lago: "Thanks buddy, I couldn't have done it without you. Also, that file we have on you, we still have it."

Trump likes the idea of decapitating the head of state (literally or figuratively) as an alternative to ground invasions. He thinks that if he can just get a compliant leader into office who is scared of being taken out, that is better than regime change.

IOW, he thinks he can apply the Venezuela model (which is itself not proven) to the rest of the world.

Maybe the rest of the world should apply it to the US.

There's something especially gross about some guy undoubtedly making 7 figures for a couple of hours of sitting in a TV studio accusing ship captains of being cowards just because they aren't willing to risk their lives, their crews' lives, their ship and their cargo in service of a dumb agenda they probably don't support.

I mean, it's also not up to the ship captains but the more important point is that Kilmeade is a perfect GOPer -- a chicken hawk par excellence
 
Donald J. Trump, November 11, 2018 - "Why should I go to that [Alsne-Marne American Cemetery] cemetery? It's filled with losers." In regard to the 1,800 Marines who died at Belleau Wood, they were "Suckers for getting killed."
