Yes, Fuentes cheerleading Trump’s Venezuelan adventures is not a good sign. One big strike against the boy.

“The best laid plans….” It’s not going to work as easily as you think. Be prepared for it

He could be right. As I’ve read – the militias in Venezuela are similar to FARC in operation. I did see in news from Venezuela where the people were saying “yeah we can’t match your technology – but fighting us on the ground face to face will be different!”

But even if that weren’t the case – because the U.S. sanctioned the country and they weren’t able to replace parts – it would cost huge amounts of money to modernize and fix the equipment to deal with that heavy crude. So the U.S. would have scored an own goal anyway. Oil companies don’t want a glut on the market because that would not be profitable for them. So yeah their robbery and attempts at extortion are backfiring. They wanted to do the same as in Iraq but the situations are very different…. Though as a side bar – Iraq does business with Chinese oil companies too – lol. Trump wants to force Venezuela to only work with the U.S.

The Venezuelan oil fields are open for business. The US has lots of light crude but not enough heavy crude which is needed for diesel. So the US has to import the crude needed for diesel.

Diesel runs the trucks and locomotives needed for industry and most of the vehicles needed for warfare. US refineries on the Gulf Coast and Midwest are designed to process imported heavy, sour crude oil. Sure seems like these refineries can handle the Venezuelan crude.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jan/05/venezuelan-crude-oil-appeals-to-us-refineries

Definitely re-tooling these refineries to process solely U.S. crude oil (light crude) would cost billions.

Previously, in the event of WW3, America was at a disadvantage as it had to import the crude more suited for diesel. Now in the event of WW3 America just has to take the Venezuelan crude and process it, over the objections of its oil people if need be. Of course lots of US boots on the ground have to be placed in Venezuela to secure the oil, unless the new Venezuelan government is more conducive to American interests …

So while previously the US was not in a very good WW3 situation due to resource constraints related to diesel, now the US’s diesel situation is secured. During war the economics of obtaining the Venezuelan oil is not as important as it is during times of peace. It is a strategic resource and it will be obtained. There is no business like the war business.

Candace Owens, who would have ‘Thunk it’ that a black woman would lead the charge against the Tribe, but there she is.

I fear for Candace Owens. She has vicious enemies and few friends.

Fuentes saying that Charlie Kirk was killed by a lone gunman in troubling but I’ll give young Nick the benefit of a doubt.

If it were just that, perhaps we could turn a blind eye to it.
But there’s more – all of which leads to one inescapable conclusion.
(ie: that Fuentes is working in cahoots with the ZOG inbreds).

I was reading the following article authored by Ron Unz yesterday:
https://www.unz.com/runz/the-trump-doctrine-they-have-it-we-want-it-we-take-it/

And in the first quarter of the thread I read this:

In recent months, Nick Fuentes has become the rising star of youthful rightwing podcasters, greatly increasing his audience in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination.
His cheerleading reaction to Trump’s attack on Venezuela was positively gleeful:
“We will kill all of you and take your oil!”

I mean … WTF?
Anyone cheering on the Orang-U-tan’s murderous imperialist provocations in Venezuela (and elsewhere), is ALL-IN WITH ZOG.
There is NO WAY it can be construed otherwise.

Summary: Anyone who thinks Nick Fuentes is running his own race and is not controlled by the ZOG puppet masters, has either:

1) Not looked into Fuentes in any depth to see what he stands for (and that person is thus a useful idiot unknowingly advancing the agenda of the Talmudic financiers that control the entirety of the western financial and political systems). OR ….

2) They knowingly promote Fuentes – because they themselves are trying to advance the Jewish agenda.

There are no shades of grey here.
(And what I say about Fuentes is equally applicable to Alex Jones at InfoWars – who smeared Candace Owens recently, coupled to a long history of B.S he’s propagated covering for Jewish malfeasance over the years).

And it certainly applies to that fat prick Cenk Uygur, who was smearing Julian Assange relentlessly some years ago, in addition to being an apologist for the corrupt Democratic party – which can do no wrong in his eyes.
A genuine honest broker (like a Dr Ron Paul, a George Galloway or a Jimmy Dore), will go into attack dog mode against BOTH* parties when they’re up to mischief.

(*Of course the Dems and the GOP are just two factions of the ZOG controlled Uniparty, each with slightly differing policies, but essentially the same on ALL the issues that matter).
In other words, no matter who wins:

i) The wars/bombing of civilians in various conflict zones continue,
ii) Military expenditure escalates further upward with each passing year,
iii) Funding for the Apartheid Israeli state (and its genocide of the Palestinians) is ongoing, as is the hundreds of billions that flow to that poisonous sweaty dwarf Zelensky and his proxy war with Mother Russia.

Who says the oil fields are open? In fact many U.S. oil executives are publicly balking because 1) the same government is still in power in Venezuela 2) the heavy sour crude requires a whole lot of new investment to extract.

And 3) Exxon (“Venezuela is uninvestible”) does not want to be shot at by resistance fighters while the company is constructing new facilities.

Ok yes we will ignore Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1979…?

Oh ok and thanks for noting that Vietnam is pretending to be friendly towards Cambodia. So basically you are saying it’s Vietnam who is not to be trusted?

Yes, I’ve imagined the same ZOG blackmail scenarios as you’ve described.
Fuentes saying that Charlie Kirk was killed by a lone gunman in troubling but I’ll give young Nick the benefit of a doubt.
Godspeed to ‘the great Scott’ Galloway, like I said, he’s one of my favorites even though he’s too globohomo on certain issues.

This academic provides some empirical bases for the kind of approach to which you refer above:

Video Link

But, if they’ve already attacked him [George Galloway] to the point that he’s needed medical care, what does he have to lose?

You know, many brave truth seekers are prepared to lose their lives if need be in their pursuit of justice. And I suspect Galloway is one such individual.

But what right does any of us have to put the lives of our loved ones at risk?
And that is PRECISELY what the ZOG misfits would be prepared to do.
Indeed that have a track record of doing just that.

When the ZOG miscreants encounter a tough nut to crack, they do things like this:
(Picture the following scenario, as a foot soldier of ZOG approaches someone that’s interferring with the ZOG agenda – perhaps someone like a U.S Congressman, a Senator or some other western politician):

ZOG Foot Soldier (ZFS): My goodness you have a lovely grand daughter (said while he’s showing the politician some photos taken from a vehicle that was obviously stalking the child as she walked home from school).

We sure wouldn’t want to encounter a situation where a car lost control, veered on to the foot path, and struck little Katie while she was walking home, would we now?
That might result in a loss of limb or worse.

Congressman: OK, OK I understand. I won’t oppose your agenda. I will vote in favour of that resolution that allocates more taxpayer money to Apartheid Israel and the poisonous dwarf Zelensky, to fund his proxy war.

Meanwhile, in the aftermath of the 9/11 False Flag, Senator Paul Wellstone was pressing for a Congressional investigation into 9/11. He knew that the official Gubmint narrative was B.S.
Additionally, he was strongly opposed to the the proposed invasion of Iraq scheduled for early 2003.
In Oct. 2002, this occurred: ZOG killed Wellstone, his wife, his daughter and one or two of of his Congressional aides.

Not deterred, Congressman Dennis Kucinic (Wellstone’s friend), said he’d keep pursuing the need for a Congressional investigation into 9/11.
He was forewarned by ZOG’s henchmen to back off – or risk the consequences.
Kucinic did not back off – he instead doubled down.

So ZOG killed his younger brother Perry.
Still Kucinic did not back down.
Soon thereafter they murdered his kid sister Beth-Ann.

It was evident at that point that the ZOG miscreants would not stop.
They’d just keep knocking off his family members one by one until they got the desired outcome.

BTW, if I were you, I wouldn’t be ‘all-in’ with the Fuentes kid.
Yes, he says a lot of things that resonate with many of us.
But his positions on other matters leave me shaking my head.
(Example: He came out publicly and said that Israel had nothing to do with Charlie Kirk’s murder. He said he was certain the patsy Robinson did it in the capacity of a Lone Gunman).

As far as I’m concerned, Fuentes reeks of Controlled Opposition (like Alex Jones at InfoWars or that fat cunt Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian at the Young Turks).
I wouldn’t trust any of them as far as I could throw them.

Meanwhile, people like Dr Ron Paul, Jimmy Dore, George Galloway, G Edward Griffin, Thomas Massie and so forth, they are the REAL deal.
They have not given the slightest hint that they’re anything other than the genuine article.

Who says the oil fields are open? In fact many U.S. oil executives are publicly balking because 1) the same government is still in power in Venezuela 2) the heavy sour crude requires a whole lot of new investment to extract.

Actually since 2017 Venezuela diversified their economy to be just an oil economy. What do you think all those Chinese loans were for. Hunger isn’t an issue in Venezuela much anymore because they are basically self sufficient in food now. Don’t believe everything western media says

Like I said, Galloway is one of my faves, but he still doesn’t call out the Jew like say David Irving did. Your arguments are compelling, and I might definitely have missed many of Galloways more forceful statements against The Jew, and Ron Unz too sardonically asks me ‘what more do you want him/them to say to satisfy you?’ But, if they’ve already attacked him to the point that he’s needed medical care, what does he have to lose? Candace Owens isn’t scared and the wave of public opinion, thanks to the young, would diminish murder as a tool for the Zionists in the West. It hasn’t stopped them in Iran though.
Candace Owens, who would have ‘Thunk it’ that a black woman would lead the charge against the Tribe, but there she is. Little young Nick Fuentes is another one with brass balls that has to be supported. If the Cabal kills these two, all hell will break out, or it should!
Interesting that a serpent like Shapiro isn’t being threatened or doesn’t seem concerned about being killed, he should be.

Max Igan on the imperialist pretentions of Trump, on the humiliation of Maduro who was paraded through the streets of New York for the American public to heckle and shout insults at the Venezuelan president and cheer on Trump’s officers driving the captive through the streets. Watch!

https://rumble.com/v745a5e-new-world-assault.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a

another guy that’s one of my faves ….. is ‘the great Scott’ George Galloway.
Even he can’t fully call out the Jew …

You are mistaken. He does as much as he can without being killed.
(When you watch the video, Galloway speaks of his scars – he was set upon and beaten up severely by thugs on the ZOG payroll).
You have to remember, Galloway has a HUGE following around the world, and thus has the capacity to INFLUENCE SCORES OF MILLIONS.

And for the very same reason, people like Julian Assange, Dr Ron Paul, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and the rest will only go so far on a range of issues.
But, by god, Candace Owens has pushed further than anyone I can think of to be saying some of things she does – she has balls the size of grapefruit.

If Galloway were to come out and tell the truth on the big issues (eg: that ZOG perpetrated the 9/11 False Flag, it orchestrated the assassinations of JFK/RFK/JFK Jr, it foisted the Covid Psyop and Mass Cull of humanity by way of the clot shots), he would be lying dead in a ditch by the side of the road the very next day.

Before any of you watch the 12 min video below, a bit of background info for those of you that don’t follow the ‘World Game’.
This interview occurred in the aftermath of the [from recollection 2019] Champions League Final, to determine the champion football club of Europe.

The two teams contesting it were Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur (both from Gross Britain).
The former is a club supported by the working class in the north of England.
Tottenham is in London and is supported disproportionately by well-to-do Jews.
So, if I could use a U.S analogy, it was like a Rust Belt Town in mid America (Liverpool), playing the Jewish enclave of Brooklyn NYC (Tottenham).

Lord Alan Sugar is a malignant Jew who is (or was) the Chairman of Tottenham football club and/or is a substantial owner (or at the very least has a controlling interest in the franchise).
And, during the game, many of the Jewish spectators were waving the flag of Apartheid Israel and flaunting their support for that vile abomination of a state (initimating that a win for Tottenham was a win for Jewish worldwide depravity).

The good news is that EVIL WAS VANQUISHED THAT DAY and Liverpool won the game.

So needless to say, Lord Sugar was livid in the aftermath of the game – especially after George Galloway rubbed his face in the excrement with a choice tweet.
So here it is – start at 0:50.
(My apologies for the picture quality – I searched for a while and could not find the original perfect quality* clip):

Video Link

The caption under the clip reads:

George Galloway V’s Lord Sugar. Galloway fired from talk radio after ‘anti- semitic ‘ tweet.

(*If any of the UR readers can locate a good quality version of that video above, I would be very grateful. Because I can bookmark it and watch it again and again – it is that entertaining).

If the petrodollar goes down, so does the USA federal reserve system.

Indeed. A crisis is looming for the dollar, and thus these actions of international piracy become ever more extreme.

I think that it is the gold and silver mines of Venezuela, rather than the oil, which is the drawcard for the USA. They are of immense value in a world where precious metals are taking off. The Americans also want to steal Venezuela’s gold reserves, which are kept in England.

From from being “mission accomplished”, Venezuela could turn into another Vietnam for the USA.

I thought an insurgency might erupt in Venezuela. Well, it seems to be happening already. According to the Guardian today (link)

The United States has urged its citizens to leave Venezuela immediately amid reports that armed paramilitaries are trying to track down US citizens

Things are happening faster than I can think!

Interesting, but “Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst.” What you are saying is true, but its also true about violence. Look at Venezuela, it was more the threats of violence plus some actual violence, proceeded by years of sanctions and blockades (a form of violence) that opened those oil fields for the USA.

Oh, another guy that’s one of my faves, even though he’s too liberal/globalist on many issues to suit me, is ‘the great Scott’ George Galloway. Even he can’t fully call out the Jew and I’m sure he’s just as knowledgeable as other British public figures that have called them out over the years but he doesn’t want to be called an anti ‘you know what’.
And look what he’s gone through just recently. He’s basically in exile after he and his wife were held incommunicado at a British airport. He had to be hospitalized because of the stress he endured. All because of his anti Zionist stance, but still he can’t call out the Jew.

In the modern world, power is quietly changing. It no longer needs armies to dominate. Instead, influence spreads through propaganda, incentives, economic pressure, rules, and narratives. People are not hypnotized; they are nudged, persuaded, and habituated. The ones who refuse to align are not destroyed physically—they are quietly marginalized. Their currencies lose relevance, their influence fades, and the system simply moves on without them.
Human nature hasn’t changed in 2,500 years. Leaders still act on survival, resources, and power. Populations still follow instincts, social habits, and cognitive biases. Attempts to impose perfect moral hierarchies or “eliminate lower nations” fail against this stubborn reality. What persists is not morality, but efficiency: power channels human behavior, co-opts elites, and quietly removes obstacles.
At the same time, legitimacy is shifting. Once, authority rested on higher principles—”One Nation Under God”—external standards that constrained rulers and guided citizens. Now, we see the seeds of a new model: “One Nation as God.” The system defines its own rules, decides what is true, and determines who counts. Obedience is justified not by ethics, but by incentives, dependencies, and the authority of the structure itself. Resistance becomes costly or meaningless.
The lesson is stark. Power no longer needs to shout or wield swords. It thrives on subtlety, adaptation, and human compliance. Non-aligned nations do not vanish with violence—they disappear quietly, deemed irrelevant. Ordinary people are not coerced magically—they respond predictably to incentives, fatigue, and habit. The modern empire is not moral or heroic. It is self-legitimizing, indifferent, and chillingly efficient.

Yep, and what’s the remedy? Another flood of illegal immigrants into America. Just what the globalist Jews want and what stupid Trump is going to facilitate.
I can see another 2 million Venezuelans and Cubans coming over in no time, more after that. 3rd World America, here we come!
Donald Trump has completely betrayed his America First/MAGA constituents.

The good thing about Denmark’s rule over Greenland is that it left the native Eskimos alone and didn’t threaten their culture or living space by forcing White, Black, Latino and Pajeet colonists on them. This would change with US rule and the native Eskimos could quickly become a minority on their own island. Just look at what happened to Hawaii.

It doesn’t look good for Venezuela any way you look at it. With the US blockade they can’t sell their oil to China or anyone else except USA. And if USA refuses to pay, or pay much, or buy a lot of oil, and if US companies refuse to invest much, or any, money in Venezuela, things are going to get a lot worse for the people there. And now they can’t even export Colombian cocaine from their countey. They’re f.cked. Cuba too will be f.cked. These countries are sealed off from the world and US may not even bother to send them any aid now Trump has stopped all those aid programmes and US participation in international programmes. They could well be better off becoming US colonies but even that may not happen.

Given your high standards, whom would you put above Sachs, whether Jew or Gentile? There was that very weird Jewish guy who always wore an Orthodox monk’s cassock, but he seems to have disappeared from the Internet.

Oh yeah, Brother Nathanael (Kapner), ‘Brother Nat’ as I called him, and yes, he came off comical and weird, but he spoke the truth, definitely no lies.
I just googled him (on Bing, lol). His site is still on the internet with videos as recent as January 2nd, but yes, I haven’t easily seen them recently. Maybe the Zionist Jew internet billionaires are cyber attacking his site.

Will Trump send Delta forces to capture Ortega and wife?

The Ortega project may have to be put on the back burner for the time being.
You see, Donald J Chump has an image problem that needs urgent attention.

The Orange simian had hoped to win over the hearts and minds of the Venezuelan citizenry by kidnapping the tyrant Maduro and bringing American style democracy to their country.
ie: to introduce living standards to Venezuela that are in line with how a growing proportion of Americans now live.
(Watch the following video below from 5:25-6:50 and you’ll see what I mean):

Video Link

Chump was hoping that the Venezuelan people would be cheering him on.
But it didn’t work out that way.
So the Orange baboon’s handlers have advised him to undertake a ‘Chavista makeover’.
Here’s a sneak peak of the South American friendly Donald J Chump (3 min video):

Video Link

Trump can not only take Greenland without firing a shot, he can just as easily take Canada? Are Canadians going to fight and die, only to lose, for what? Not that anything will change for them when they become part of USA as their living standard will remain the same. They just won’t get to wave their flag, that’s all.

The US is bragging about some advanced secret sonic weapon they used to immobilise Maduro’s guards. So why don’t they show the video if it is true?

Daniel Ortega and his wife don’t give a toss about Trump. Anybody expressing support for Trump’s operations goes straight to jail.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/10/nicaraguan-authorities-arrests-dozens-for-reportedly-supporting-maduro-capture

Will Trump send Delta forces to capture Ortega and wife? The US lost out in Nicaragua to the Sandinistas – will Trump be back to avenge the fallen Contras and CIA spies?

Never surrender to the american and british terrorists. Fight and be brutal with the american and british terrorists. These primitive and aggresssive animals will never stop. You have to fight and destroy american and british terrorists and get them and sick offspring out from your countries with legal means or they will continue to enslave, terrorize and destroy your people, your peoples way of life, your values, your culture and your religion.

Its american and british or its your people. You decide. Fight the terrorists and criminals. Free your people from the terrorists!

… China invaded Vietnam in ’79 and we cannot trust China since.

And the Russians trusted their instinct to remain a helpless bystander:

Video Link

>Vietnam has never NOT said China DIDN’T* contributed in the American war, it’s just that China invaded Vietnam in ’79 and we cannot trust China since.
Sorry, typo.
Double negative so it makes it hard to check.

Sorry but I’m no troll.

Vietnam has never NOT said China contributed in the American war, it’s just that China invaded Vietnam in ’79 and we cannot trust China since.

Talking about Cambodia and Laos, Cambodia is now in a war with Thailand, right on China’s doorstep, and despite all attempts to stop it from US and China, the war continues.

Worse of all, Chinese netizens are now calling one of the biggest pro-China govt in SEA, the Hun Sen/Hun Manet’s government to be pro-US instead, quite an irony considering Cambodia always plays favor for China in the SEA sea dispute. Meanwhile, China tanks now fight against China RPGs (rocket propelled grenades not the games) in Thailand vs Cambodia, making clear the performance of both for foreign military observer.

And Vietnam won’t be helping Cambodia either, all of these brotherly military parades are for show.

The closest to perfect foreign and domestic policy, for every nation on earth, is to shoot every leftist you find right between the eyes.

Yeah wasn’t Trump making noise that the F35 needed a 2 engines version – lol

Maduro was ALWAYS around the people – because in spite of western propaganda – he and the Chavez revolution still have the support of the majority of the people. Even among those that left there are many that still support them. Of course western media didn’t show those people overseas – only the anti revolutionaries.

In any event yeah Maduro driving around with no guards proved the assertion of “illegitimate leader” is nonsense. He was comfortable among his people

The Su-57 has been described as “a Su-27 with skin” i.e. a very well-balanced
heavy fighter while the F-35 – if it flies – is so undermotorized it is outflown by
the MiG-21; that makes it a DeLorean 😋

People intend to visit Rome one day.

A lot of dilapidated buildings and a lot of rude people.

And I’ve never heard someone say “I intend to visit Mexico one day”.

Since you’ve already visited Mexico more than once, I suppose you have said that sentence yourself, and done it more than once.

It’s fair to call it an invasion. But also to say that it is a raid. It’s a strange event.

The Su-57 would be like a BMW 7 series and the F 35 would be like the BMW 3 Series.

One could make that case if the F-35 was semi reliable – which it isn’t.
Seeing as the F-35 has so many gremlins that keep it grounded, it’s only fitting that it be compared to an AMC Gremlin from the early 1970’s, which had all manner of reliability/quality issues:

Meanwhile, so as to conduct an apples to apples comparison (and not, for example, compare the AMC Gremlin with an exotic supercar), I’ll compare the U.S manufactured AMC Gremlin to a Japanese three door hatch – ie: the Toyota Yaris GR:
https://avatars.mds.yandex.net/i?id=52cff562e7c27193079c0ee98ff1b7b2bbd533ac-5722855-images-thumbs&n=13

That’s more or less the difference between the two.

They then tried it against Maduro with Juan Guaido and again the PEOPLE – laughed it off and said “no”. That’s why this time with Maduro the U.S. kidnapped him themselves. Trump even gave it away when he ADMITTED that traitor Nobel Prize winner Machado did NOT have enough support in Venezuela.

I am sure that huge sections of the military were successfully paid off.

From what I have read only his Cuban bodyguards tried to fight back. The Russian AA was probably turned off.

For the record I don’t support this operation in the least and view it as a violation of the constitution.

But with that said half the fault is with Maduro. Before the attack he was filmed driving himself around the city and without a security entourage. That is insane. Team Trump undoubtedly viewed him as an easy target.

He should have been buried away in an underground fortress with thousands of drones on standby. He needed a few thousand guards and not a few dozen.

All he had to do was wait for 3 years in a fortress. That’s it.

Maduro is no Chavez. He wasn’t taking this seriously and actually thought Trump would make a deal. When Maduro offered to share the oil with Trump it was like inviting in a shark.

Again to be clear I do not support this operation and I think he should be released. Trump is the one who should be in prison. I’m no fan of Maduro but I view this as an illegal military action by the authority of our Constitution. Similar to an illegal search and seizure where the criminal is let free even if he is guilty. Venezuela isn’t even a main source of drugs. They help ship in cocaine for upper class parties. Half of it goes to European clubs. Opiates are destroying US cities and the main entry point is the border. The orange clown promised to build us a wall and not take part in a military adventure over oil.

Because Russia is SELF SUFFICIENT. It does not need anything from the west.

No that is wrong and your CAPS do not impart your will upon reality.

Russia still has medicine shortages among other things.

Russia is running out of essential medicines
https://meduza.io/en/feature/2025/03/14/my-child-s-life-is-on-the-line

But the reality is that a huge chunk of those manufactured exports are OVERPRICED and UNDER-PERFORMING weapons of death – like the F-35 lemon that the U.S vassals are bullied into purchasing.

Well HIMARS is selling itself thanks to Putin’s war. It is backordered for 10 years from various countries.

Nothing like a good old fashioned war to boost the US defense industry.

Thanks again Putin for the glorious 2.5 week special operation. Kupiansk is still not in Russian hands so perhaps another year and Russia will finally have destroyed the remaining small cities of the former DPR.

Fantastic military work. As a reminder the Nazis took most of Ukraine in a few months and captured half a million soldiers.

It’s not even a coup in Venezuela. A coup is by definition an internal event.

No that is just the common type. A coup can be caused by any source.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/coup

He might have done it with support from a 5th column, but it was an invasion, and there is no other word to describe it.

I’m fine with calling it a coup or an invasion. But an invasion sounds more like troops on the ground and staying. I only take issue with the Fox News description of serving an arrest warrant.

It should also be noted that in America, the Constitution defines what is legal governance. Trump is a domestic enemy violating the Constitution. Any action necessary to remove him is legal and justified, as long as the proper procedures are followed afterwards.

That’s a good point and at the moment there are only 5 Republicans in the Senate that are defending the Constitution. I am pretty harsh on libertarians but I will fully give credit to Rand Paul for being part of that 5 and standing up to Trump. I would shake his hand for it and I really dislike libertarians. He is in the right and showing guts. He is a real man unlike our spineless MAGA legions whose morality is entirely dependent on whatever Trump is doing at the moment.

The craziest thing about the cost comparison between and Su-57 and an F-35 is that they aren’t even in the same class. That makes it even more appalling. The Su-57 would be like a BMW 7 series and the F 35 would be like the BMW 3 Series. So imagine paying more for the 3 series than the 7. Madness how much the nominal U.S. GdP is inflated.

I can’t speak for others…. And I can’t say about what would be the workings of any action taken against Trump.

As to Venezuela – the last time there was a coup – it was against Chavez. His military was bought out and tried to kidnap. But the PEOPLE came out in force and the military was forced to stand down. They then tried it against Maduro with Juan Guaido and again the PEOPLE – laughed it off and said “no”. That’s why this time with Maduro the U.S. kidnapped him themselves. Trump even gave it away when he ADMITTED that traitor Nobel Prize winner Machado did NOT have enough support in Venezuela.

The debate over the the F-35 is worth having. Though I suspect it is already obsolete. It’s effectiveness, bottom line is unknown until tested in battle. I will ertainly agree with you that Cogess and the WH have a lousy track record in managing development, production and deployment costs.

As for manufacturing, we should be doing more inhouse. As for sales, sell what the market can bare.

Elite Communist Incorporated writes:

That should the US or even Germany alone or Spain and Portugal turn to weapons production, Russia would be left in the dust.

You are a very stupid man.
And with each remark you post, you compound that stupidity of yours.
So, here’s some background about the Ukraine proxy war that you’ve missed (since the entirety of your knowledge about this ZOG orchestrated war comes from the corrupt Jewish owned MSM).

A disproportionate amount of casualties from this war (on both sides), are due to artillery bombardment.
Early in the conflict, despite an enormous stockpile handed to the Judeo-Ukrainian regime by the Anglo-Zionist empire and its obsequious NATO vassals, the Russian artillery was launching about 4-5 times as many shells as the Ukies were.

The Anglo-Zionist puppet masters kept reassuring the Ukies:
‘Don’t worry – the Russkies can’t continue with this rate of fire. They’ll run out soon’.
Actual Outcome: The Russians UPPED THE NUMBER OF SHELLS soon thereafter. It increased the tempo to about 6-8 times as much as the Ukies could send in return.

The U.S ended up giving the Ukies every spare artillery shell in their inventory and made the NATO vassals do likewise. It did nothing to address the imbalance.
So the U.S went hat in hand to the Apartheid Israeli state and South Korea.
It made them hand over their artillery shells (coupled to additional orders that the South Koreans manufacture hundreds of thousands more).
Simultaneously, U.S Defence contractors were churning out as many artillery shells as they could whilst operating 24 hours day.

The following article is headlined ‘U.S. to send Israel artillery shells initially destined for Ukraine’:
https://www.axios.com/2023/10/19/us-israel-artillery-shells-ukraine-weapons-gaza

Check out this article below as well:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/south-korea-to-sell-arms-to-u-s-for-ukraine-11668116294
From the article above:

South Korea will for the first time sell artillery shells destined for Ukrainian forces through a confidential arms deal between Seoul and Washington, a move that reflects a global scramble for munitions ….

End Result: Even after the delivery of these shells to the Judeo-Ukrainian regime, the Russians upped the tempo of artillery bombardment to 10-12 times that which the Ukies could respond with (and I believe that was the state of play by the end of 2023/early 2024).

More recent reports suggest that the Russians were dispatching as much as TWENTY TIMES more artillery shells at the hapless Ukies as they received in incoming shells.
And an important reason for that is because the Russians have been extremely successful with their drone campaign, knocking out those few artillery positions the Ukies possessed and their stockpiles of munitions.

Using any metric one chooses to apply to the situation, this has been a comprehensive turkey shoot – as the Russians saturate the Ukrainian positions with artillery shells, drones firing ordnance, a range of high tech missile weaponry, while the Ukies have precious little to respond with.

Of course Mr Elite Communist, you would not know any of this – seeing as you’re brainwashed with propaganda from the Anglo-Zionist elites and their dishonest* western media.
(*I didn’t open up those links posted in your comment – all of which are ZOG controlled propaganda outlets. I don’t know why you bother putting them up. No one is going to read them).

In fairness, the western MSM does not lie all the time.
Sometimes the evidence is so overwhelming that the Judeo-Ukrainian armed forces are bring pummelled into pulp, that even (((they)))* are FORCED to concede to that things are looking decidedly dire.

(*You’ll notice that one of the links I posted was from wsj.com – the Wall Street Journal. And even though they post a ton of B.S and almost always peddle deceit on behalf of their foreskin-less Talmudic masters, occasionally they come up with tidbits of truth – as they did on this occasion).

In relation to Germany, Spain, Portugal turning to weapons production and your assertion that Russia would be ‘left in the dust’ as a result, I have news for you Elite Communist.
They ALREADY are churning out as much as they can – without severely impacting on their already moribund economies.
Click on to the link below and educate yourself:
https://libertarianinstitute.org/news/russia-producing-3-times-more-shells-than-us-europe-combined-report/

From the link above:

Russia’s defense industry is turning out nearly three times more artillery shells than its American and European counterparts [COMBINED], according to a NATO intelligence report obtained by CNN.

And those proportions represent the state of play AFTER the U.S and NATO massively ramped up its production to peak capacity.
Prior to that the disparity was even worse for the Anglo-Zionist empire and its lackeys.

You also posted this asinine statement:

And should we blockade Russia’s ability to obtain weapons or engage in production – game up.

How the eff do you propose to INTERNALLY blockade Russia?
Because all manner of sanctions have been applied to Russia to blockade it of technologies sourced from western nations. And it has had NO EFFECT.

Because Russia is SELF SUFFICIENT. It does not need anything from the west.
And, to the extent that it needs some industrial tech, it can get everything it wants from its pals in China.
So, since Russia gets everything it needs from within its own borders, to blockade this great nation you’d need to impose an INTERNAL BLOCKADE (as in prevent shipments going from Moscow to Sr Petersburg or coming to and from Volgograd).
HOW do you propose doing that you dimwit?

Lastly, and this very much relates to GDP, is the COST to manufacture a particular weapons system.
Many people say the U.S still exports many hundreds of billions of manufactured goods and is thus still a great manufacturing nation.
But the reality is that a huge chunk of those manufactured exports are OVERPRICED and UNDER-PERFORMING weapons of death – like the F-35 lemon that the U.S vassals are bullied into purchasing.

The F-35 has different versions, depending on its application and what branch of the armed forces is receiving them (refer to the link below):
https://medium.com/war-is-boring/how-much-does-an-f-35-actually-cost-21f95d239398

From the article below:

A single Air Force F-35A costs a whopping $148 million.
One Marine Corps F-35B costs an unbelievable $251 million.
A lone Navy F-35C costs a mind-boggling $337 million.

Average the three models together, and a “generic” F-35 costs $178 million.

Did you absorb that Mr Elite Communist Incorporated?
Some variants of the F-35 cost almost TEN TIMES as much as the superior/more reliable Russian combat fighter planes.
THAT is where your U.S GDP is going.

And, as I said before, military spending aside, U.S GDP is just financialised fluff.
It’s about social media, Facebook and consumer spending.
When push comes to shove, the U.S makes very little in the way of tangible products.

Compare the F-35 lemon above to the premier combat plane on the planet. ie: the Sukhoi Su-57, which is a twin-engine stealth multirole fighter aircraft – and each costs just $35 million.
Moreover, these Su-57 run rings around the F-35 (around half of the latter are grounded at any given moment because they’re not fit to fly or subject to an array of faults/gremlins that need continual maintenance).

Click on the link below to an article titled ‘Almost half of US F-35s not airworthy’:
https://www.key.aero/article/almost-half-us-f-35s-not-airworthy?check_logged_in=1

The GDP is the point. That should the US or even Germany alone or Spain and Portugal turn to weapons production, Russia would be left in the dust. Right now Europe is bending to Russia’s empty threats. Should they make the choice to ignore the threats and prepare to take Russia on on Russian terms, that would be game up for Russia. As i say, they are simply too risk averse — but GDP matters. And should we blockade Russia’s ability to obtain weapons or engage in production – game up.

Ukraine has not folded. I stand where came in.

Of course there are foreign fighters aiding Ukraine. But those numbers don’t come close those against Russia. The real issue is that Russia is not the fighting monster of anyone’s imagination. Again, despite assessments, reassessments of men (experts) such as Inspector Scott Ritter, General McGregor and a host of others, Russia has yet to achieve her objective. Objectives that were supposed to be achieved more than five years ago.

———————–

But we have been hearing this for nearly four years. Ukraine is holding her own. Given the supposed odds against here — she is doing quite well. And if the US and EU and NATO would get it together — it would end this year.

I understand that the US economy grew by 3%. Now i agree, the US tax payer may not see much of that. But 5x that of the Russians is nothing to sneeze about, even it was overvalued by 50%.

The US president shou;d wake up in my view. Whatever respect I may have for Press. Putin, he is not a friend of the US. And if we are dumping the rles based sstem, the US had etter be prepared for fights including with Russia and China.

It’s not even a coup in Venezuela. A coup is by definition an internal event. Trump invaded Venezuela. He might have done it with support from a 5th column, but it was an invasion, and there is no other word to describe it.

It should also be noted that in America, the Constitution defines what is legal governance. Trump is a domestic enemy violating the Constitution. Any action necessary to remove him is legal and justified, as long as the proper procedures are followed afterwards. He does not hold any legal authority over our country.

Lastly, like your sayan pal Jewish John’s Johnson, you bring up the B.S metrics of Russia’s GDP vs Europe (or the U.S).

There you go thinking about me again.

The fact of the matter is that the western currencies are artificially overvalued and propped up by the ZOG machinations in the western financial system which they control.
Russia’s ruble meanwhile, is grossly undervalued.

That doesn’t change total production.

If you measured economies with a universal currency like gold then the production remains the same.

If my country produces 50 thousand vehicles then they exist before I try to value them.

Russia’s GDP is about the same as Texas. They are not an economic superpower as many here assume. Russia is a very large nation but it is not economically analogous to America but with everything in Russian. There are huge sections with subsistence farming that have not changed much since they were taken from the Khans. Denmark actually has a larger software market than Russia. You can measure that difference without even talking about currency.

Russia has long depended on selling gas and minerals to Western Europe while importing technology and medicine. Even during the USSR they still had to import grains at times.

Have a look at their top exports before the war:
https://wits.worldbank.org/CountryProfile/en/Country/RUSSIA/Year/2019/Summarytext

RUSSIA exported Petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminou , worth 122,228,578.65 (US$ Thousands).
RUSSIA exported Petroleum oils, etc, (excl. crude); preparation , worth 66,946,539.75 (US$ Thousands).
RUSSIA exported Bituminous coal, not agglomerated , worth 13,616,707.63 (US$ Thousands).
RUSSIA exported Natural gas, liquefied , worth 7,920,048.41 (US$ Thousands).
RUSSIA exported Spelt, common wheat and meslin , worth 6,342,923.88 (US$ Thousands).

In other words, the GDP comparisons are meaningless.

They are not meaningless. Would you choose between an amount of gold representing .001% of the US economy or Haiti? If the number is meaningless then it shouldn’t matter, right?

I only got interested in this after the 2014 coup (because I knew it had to be part of a dirty long term game). It would do well to use a neutral mind and check these things for yourself

Well since you know so much on the subject perhaps you can answer for John Trout and explain how removing a president with a vote of 380 to 0 is a coup.

What if Congress removed Trump for corruption with a majority vote? Would that be a coup? Our constitution allows the president to be removed by a vote. Democracies normally have some type of constitutional protocol where the president can be removed during his term if he commits crimes. That is what happened in Ukraine.

A coup is what happened in Caracas. The president was violently removed by Trump and the founders would have considered it a violation of the constitution as war powers are clearly delegated to Congress. Attacking a foreign military and kidnapping a president falls into an act of war by any definition. Trump should be removed from office by Congress. That would not be a coup. That would be a democratic removal of a corrupt president.

I read yesterday, that Stephen Miller was being sent to do the job.

Hopefully those will be reasonably priced US made products because resold Chinese made products with fake “made in USA” labels will cost 5 times more as China buys Russian oil and gas. The same for any India made products and those of some other countries. Are Chinese made goods up 5 times in price in US or is it just Trump BS? Since so much is made in China what goods will US residents be able to buy at a reasonable price themselves?

I don’t know…. But from what I read heroin use exploded in the U.S. in correlation to the Vietnam war…. See a pattern??? Cocaine began to flood the U.S. in the 70’s into the early 80’s – which I know for sure. That was a rich persons drug. The clandestine programs in the U.S. used the heroin trade in Asia and then cocaine in the “Americas” to fund “black ops” against mainly leftist elements. Dark arts always cause negative repercussions. People don’t like to believe such things like reaping what you sow – but there is a reason the drug problem in the U.S. is comparatively worse than anywhere else. The issue of cocaine (which crack is the cheap derivative) being an issue of proximity is not plausible. Opium comes from the other side of the world and the U.S. again had the worst heroin problem loooong before the 21st century when “fentanyl” became a buzzword. French and Italians criminal networks also got very rich – along with Asian organized crime – in sending heroin to the U.S. in the 70’s

Speaking of Nick Fuentes, that 27 year old college drop out, and the Jew-ish conspiracy, The International Jew, as Henry Ford called them, here’s young Nick talking about it;

Elite Communist Incorporated writes:

So using your own data sets, despite the odds against them, Ukraine has prevented Russia from achieving her military objective(s).

The Ukrainians have prevented nothing.
The near entirety of the professional army that the Judeo-Ukrainian regime began the war with in Feb. 2022, is now either dead or severely maimed.

To the extent that the Ukies claim they still have several hundred thousands men in uniform, these are old men and school boys that have been forcibly conscripted – and they offer no combat capability or morale* whatsoever.
(*Scores of thousands are deserting).

Knowing this, the Anglo-Zionist empire have lured tens of thousands of mercenaries from around the world, financed with freshly conjured greenbacks from the ZOG owned Federal Reserve.
Many of whom came from the impoverished Baltic nations and regions thereabouts.
(I recall reading that around 20,000 or so of them were Poles – most of whom have since met their maker).
Many were former and current military men from western Europe, Britain, Australia and North America (and quite a few were ex-Special Forces).

Click on the link below headlined ‘Over 100 British Troops in Ukraine: London Quietly Confirms’:
https://english.pravda.ru/news/hotspots/165167-uk-secret-troops-ukraine-covert-deployment/

That’s right. Over and above the scores of thousands of NATO/non-NATO vets that previously served in the armed forces of their respective countries and then went to fight on the Ukrainian side, there are many thousands of ACTIVE DUTY military personnel that are engaged in military operations in Ukraine.

And, seeing as the Ukrainian military is on its last legs, the Anglo-Zionist empire have NO OTHER OPTION than to resort to this.
BECAUSE THE UKRAINIAN ARMED FORCES ARE NO LONGER CAPABLE OF COMBAT EFFECTIVENESS.

Lastly, like your sayan pal Jewish John’s Johnson, you bring up the B.S metrics of Russia’s GDP vs Europe (or the U.S).
The fact of the matter is that the western currencies are artificially overvalued and propped up by the ZOG machinations in the western financial system which they control.
Russia’s ruble meanwhile, is grossly undervalued.

So Russia, like every other country, calculates its GDP in its own currency (rubles).
That figures (in rubles), is then converted to USD for comparison purposes with the rest of the world.
And because the ruble is GROSSLY undervalued and the USD (and the Euro) is likewise overvalued, you get a distorted comparison.

So let me make an analogy. The Australian dollar (AUD) is today worth US 67 cents.
In 2011 the AUD was worth 64% more than it is now. ie: USD $ 1.10 (10% MORE then the USD).
Does that mean our GDP was 64% more in 2011 than it is now?

All it means is that the ZOG financiers in the forex markets have manipulated the AUD lower over the last 15 years.

Summary: For a given ruble expenditure, the Russians gets FAR MORE BANG FOR THEIR BUCK as far as the production of quality military hardware and munitions is concerned.

In western Europe (which is forced to buy massively overpriced and under performing U.S weapons systems – like the F35 lemon), and especially in the U.S, for every dollar or Euro earmarked for Defence expenditure, only a small fraction actually gets to its intended destination.
The rest is siphoned off by corrupt politicians/Defence contractors and by the ZOG miscreants.

In other words, the GDP comparisons are meaningless.
(The U.S and European GDP’s have a ton of financialised FLUFF within their GDP calculations).

The U.S in particular is a House of Cards.
When its economy, stock and bond markets implode in the very near future, and the USD concurrently loses world reserve currency status, you’ll soon see what America’s actual* GDP really is.

(*It’ll be a hell of a lot less than it is today when expressed in terms of real money).

A number of countries lost their bullion to “freezing”, or to theft by invaders or “rebels”.
Ukraine lost it in a daylight heist in 2014. Venezuela lost it in 2019. Even lapdog Germany cannot get back most of its bullion.

Do you mean male genital mutilation?

We have our way of dealing with internal problem. Our way is often more generous and focuses on improving and redeeming people as opposed to draconian way other countries sometimes deal with the same problems. The problem is, we’re not even doing it our way. We’re just letting it all fester.

The name this indifferent approach has been given is anarcho-tyranny. Over the years, the meaning of the term has morphed. What it refers to now is the idea that allowing anarchy to flourish in the lower strata has becomes a paradoxical way of controlling the same. In that way, it has become a two-fer. Anarchy represents both a paradoxical means of controlling the lower strata and a means to keeping the middle class intimidated.

The permitted anarchy occasionally spills out of its boundaries, as in the events of 2020. But, so far so good as far as the elite is concerned.

“Venezuela is going to be purchasing ONLY American Made Products, with the money they receive from our new Oil Deal… A wise choice, and a very good thing for the people of Venezuela, and the United States.” – President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

The “rebels” in Sudan are supported by the same outsiders who supported the rebels in Syria and Libya — though split on Yemen

Good question…. Probably because the oil is more important. But yeah still interesting we haven’t heard Nicaragua mentioned. But yeah these bullies are clownish and dangerous at the same time.

200,000 rebels fought… ?? Do you realize that given enough “help” you could find that percentage willing to take up arms against their own government… Including the US of A…?

As to “why not allow competition”. I guess I don’t think like a Euro/American so I don’t think I should tell others how to run their country or what type of governmental system they should live in.

It’s a fact Libya had a fairly high quality of life under Ghaddafi and is a failed state now.

For you democracy and voting is like a religion. Democracy (Western style) runs contrary to the ideology Gaddafi was promoting. Anyway Libya was run by some popular people’s committees. In Benghazi University, it was the student committee that sentenced some students to death and the student committee members went into class and dragged the offending students to get hanged. I don’t think Gaddafi even knew or had any control on what was going on. So if the people loved him so much that they were willing to torture and execute those who opposed him or criticised him, it’s not his fault. Then they went from loving him to hating him, or so we’re told. Perhaps the “rebels” were mostly import jihadis and mercenaries paid by the West. A similar thing is going on in Sudan where most of those “rebel” military units fighting the government are foreign mercenaries.

Thats minor. In any event – every single country in the region is involved in cocaine smuggling. Every one. The Colombians speak Spanish and can go to Spain. Others of it that passes through Venezuela gets passed along the chain to Africa before going to Europe. Again – every country along the way. Blaming Venezuela is nonsensical. Colombian cartels had such trouble after the Caribbean path became so problematic- that is how the Mexican cartels got to rich. The drug trade is business. The Colombian cartels began outsourcing the majority do the cocaine it to the Mexicans to make the final push into the U.S. .

I hear you – but it’s just not realistic. Nobody else wants that burden of being global policeman because everyone else realizes it decreases their quality of life.
As to China and its global trade. It’s not actually true that China relies on trade more than others. China is way down the list at 137 of 162 countries measured. The 19% as of 2023 and is likely a smaller share at the end of 2025. It’s another western myth that China would croak without exports to the west.

https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/exports/

China’s home market is huge. It’s next biggest market is Asia (by far largest share of exports). The west is less and less important to China’s trade. Honestly if South America and the Caribbean got cut off from trade with China – it would be those places that suffer. Even all that big mouth tough talking Milei in Argentina- who claimed he was going to cut trade with China. Rhetoric is one thing. Action is another. His actions are very different than his political speeches.

But let’s be real here – the U.S. is in a $40 trillion debt hole because it wants to be global policeman. It’s not sustainable. Russia and China really only have to wait out the U.S. while avoiding a nuclear war.

Read Ukraine’s constitution. Read what took place in the votes leading up the Gorbachev dissolving the USSR. Also look at the dismantling of nuclear weapons infrastructure in Ukraine. All pertinent to the context of Ukrainian independence and NATO.

By contrast – Belarus – which is currently forming a union state with Russia just recently mentioned they might have given back the nukes to Russia – but it basically kept all of its weapons infrastructure- except for maybe one site. That’s why in their union state agreement Russia can put nukes back in Belarus. Different issues but come from the same root…. (Georgia would be another side bar)

I only got interested in this after the 2014 coup (because I knew it had to be part of a dirty long term game). It would do well to use a neutral mind and check these things for yourself

The neocons attacked Russia using the USA/NATO.

When did that attack happen?

Russia invaded Ukraine through Belarus on Feb 24 2022. That invasion was captured by CCTV on the bridge that was used. Did you want footage of it?

To this end they had the Ukrainian armed forces trained to NATO standards with NATO equipment.

You can’t even get your basic facts correct.

Ukraine had mostly Soviet era equipment in 2022. Here it is from a Congressional report:

The UAF relies primarily on Soviet-era and Russian equipment. (2022)
https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/IF/PDF/IF12150/IF12150.2.pdf

Most of the military aid from NATO countries came months after they were attacked.

So you’re wrong about basic military facts and trying to lecture me on the subject.

Nuland spent 5 billion dollars overthrowing the Ukrainian government and supplying the AZOV battalion

Do explain using cause and effect how Nuland was able to force the Ukrainian Rada to remove president Viktor Yanukovych by a vote of 380 to 0

Was he innocent or did she somehow control their minds in that vote? If he was innocent then go ahead and explain how he was able to pay for a mansion, private zoo and luxury car collection on a middle income salary. Instead of defending himself against the charges he looted his mansion and fled to Russia by helicopter. That is on video. So was he innocent?

So using your own data sets, despite the odds against them, Ukraine has prevented Russia from achieving her military objective(s).

Oyyyy . . . since the very first year, advocates for Russia have been repeating the failed policy of bleeding the EU, NATO and the US of resources. Here’s the reality, Russia is bleedig and that is why she is escalating the war. She needs to end the coflict and in her mnd she cannot end on a stalemate. She losing and her only way out is to launch a big push — again, given the historic failures f her big conclusive “big pushes”, I am sceptical that she will prevail and that Ukraine will continue to hold her own in the conflict.

And I am reminded this was suppsed to be over in year one. This isa classic example of moving the gal posts, a term oft thrown around these parts but apparently little understood, like not comprehending the meaning of

“holding one’s own.”

—————————

The european economy at more than 10 trillion verses the Russian economy at 2.2 trillion. It’s not resources that Europe r NATO lack. It’s the commitment to the fight and the risk averse actions to avoid full scale war.

What’s wrong if dictators provide what the people need and want?

What happens when they don’t? What happens when the people want someone new?

Well that is the problem. The opposition ends up in torture chambers like the ones Assad used. We had posters here claiming they didn’t exist. Quite a few posters here assume that third world dictators must be misunderstood victims of Western posters. They can’t be assholes on their own. The dictator with a heart of gold.

How are the Christians and Alewites doing in Syria under the replacement?

They are doing far better than they were during Assad’s civil war where he refused to step down or allow competition.

The massive religious civil war that Scott Ritter predicted didn’t happen. The current Syrian president is in fact making deals with Trump with security assurances for religious minorities.

Christians and Muslims have been getting along just fine in Beirut for hundreds of years.

They have somehow done it without psychopathic dictators controlling the opposition and locking away people for posting in forums like this one.

So you think it is better that Libya reverts to the age of slavery from having one of the highest standards of living in the world?

You’d have to provide some data on that claim.

I am for letting people pick their leaders. If Gaddafi was so great for the people then let them vote.

I don’t see a rational explanation for why such a great leader needs to imprison and kill the opposition. He can run for office and point at all of his great accomplishments. Let the better man win.

Without the foreign factor, the propaganda, meddling, and the funding of foreign jihadis, these countries would be doing well under their dictators.

The left has a similar belief but with the blue eyed devil as the meddler.

Only slight problem with these theories that many of these same countries had ruthless dictators before those meddling Whites and Westernerns. They went through the same types of rebellions without White meddlers. In fact the most tumultuous periods of the Middle East had absolutely nothing to do with Whites or Western powers. So no I don’t subscribe to your Wakanda Desert theory. The Middle East before oil was mostly in the hands of nomadic tribes that would kill each other over water access. It is the White man’s inventions that allow someone like Gadaffi to be rich and have an air conditioned mansion.

There is no evidence that the US orchestrated Maiden. We have covered this suggestion from nearly every angle and every Russian talking point and they have repeatedly fallen short on the facts. That scenario just does not exist. And no number of mantras in saying it will not conjure up proof.
