"Liberating" Vuvuzela, A War I Can Get Behind

This is where the leadership of Trumpism is in effect.

Bolton knows that if he doesn't play to Trump's tune, he will be fired.

Bolton doesn't want to be fired, this is his chance to get back in the game.

Thus he is on a leash and playing the tune of America Uber Alles independent of any foreign entanglement.

Particularly the one where the Russians spread the INF War from Europe to the Americas.

Bear in mind, as a Lockheed Martin shareholder, obviously I would make money off a Cuban Missile Crisis On Steroids.

But can't spend it when you're dead; thermonuclear war is real.

I was told that they were in fact mortal enemies, and could never work together. Also that I was a syphilitic idiot, but that happens daily.

No, you were told that they aren't best buddies, or even good buddies, and that China and America are far closer than Russia and China. So all this talk of Russia-China Anti-US Alliance is just more Domino Theory Bullshit, and you need to put down the zerohedge.

That's what you were told.

China plays both sides, when it suits them, they cozy up to America, where America rebukes them, they get back into bed with Ivan.

Ivan rebukes them more than Uncle Sam does, hence why they are closer to America than they are to Russia.

Sure, until we start talking about defaulting on debt, publicly calling them both out as enemies, pushing them around in their spheres of influence, and dropping any semblance of a coherent foreign policy.

Otherwise, they’re fine apart.

Disagree. Tho they are not a monolith, China and Russia work together far more than America and China do.

[C-Mag]

See, I would not do that, no need for a Mexican Quagmire.

The issue is the Big Dogs moving in, with their INF and BMD, point blank on the CONUS.

Venezuela is simply a means to an end, Ivan is not coming there for the oil, Ivan has oil coming out of his ears.

Venezuelan Liberation starts in Mexico.

Mexico will not be providing Russia nor China with any strategic bases of operations, so Mexico is not a problem.

Ivan is my friend and future ally.
USA and Russian Federation together and no one in the world can stand again 'em.

China's economy is far more reliant on America, than it is on Russia. Going to have walk me through how it's possible that China works less with America when America has so much more to offer China than Russia does, because I'm not seeing it.

Yeah, okay, sure, good luck with that.
