Fire McMaster !

[Smitty-48]

He's gonna need something. . .

Bomb the shit out of Eye-ran, make a complete mess of the Straits of Hormuz, oil price shoots through the roof, shale oil jerrbs for the win, done and done.

[clubgop]

That's what I'm thinking. Might even be the goal going into it.

Think of the support he'd get from shit canning Bolton.

From who? For what? Bolton has been advising Trump for a long while now. He likes the cut of Bolton' s jib.

Bomb the shit out of Eye-ran, make a complete mess of the Straits of Hormuz, oil price shoots through the roof, shale oil jerrbs for the win, done and done.

That would be interesting. At least for the Iranians, this wouldn't come as a surprise.

What does a National Security Adviser do? What's the job? Is it like a minister or something? I'm confused.

Well, shale has now become the entrenched interest, so it's no longer in the Americans interests to keep the oil price low, ergo;

Blue Eyed Sheiks + Jerrbs = bomb that Persian surplus.

If they would go so far as to wreak havoc on the headwaters of the Persian Gulf down to the Straits of Hormuz, then Blue Eyed Sheiks really gonna make a mint.

Get a medium sized war going up in there, with the associated disruption in traffic, could get the price back up to $100/barrel.

[Smitty-48]

I mean, it went from $61/barrel to $69/barrel, just because they replaced Tillerson with Pompeo, so it's already paying dividends.

Get some air/sea battle chaos going on up in the Gulf, should be able to get at least another $20/barrel out of that.

What's the shale breakeven price? $50? Get it up to $90-$100 range, that's called gravy.

What does a National Security Adviser do? What's the job? Is it like a minister or something? I'm confused.

Basically the guy who will advise the President when some shit happens abroad. The NSA is picked By the President and doesn't have to get any congressional approval for the appointment (like, lets say, the secretary of state).

Here's a short clip about the job:


Or what the job was supposed to be...

[Smitty-48]

If the Americans could cause some shit in Venezuela at the same time they're causing shit in Iran, that would be ideal, blow up all them terminals, blow em up real good, cha-ching, thank you, come again.

By the way, if they want to drive the price of Chinese steel up, could cause some shit in the China Seas too, what the hell, in for a penny in for a pound.

Ain't no better trade war than an actual shootin' war. I mean, don't go nuclear, but everything up to just below is fine and dandy.

Tariffs ain't gonna get it done, if these rubes want to be isolated like the "good ol' days", that's gonna take an Iron Curtain, as that's what it was, wasn't no tariffs that made the good ol' days.

McMaster Spent Decade Consulting Foreign Funded Foundation

The London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies — where former national security adviser H.R. McMaster spent 11 years as a consultant — submitted a $750,000 funding proposal to the Clinton Foundation in January 2011 while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, according to documents exclusively obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group.

The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) filed the proposal with the foundation one month after Secretary Clinton delivered a keynote address before the think tank. Her speech was given top billing at the organization’s premier international event, called the “Manama Dialogue,” in the oil-rich Gulf state of Bahrain. The think tank highlighted her IISS Bahrain speech, and the Department of State published a transcript.

As an active duty officer, McMaster was a consultant for IISS between 2006 and 2017, leaving only when he joined the Trump White House as national security adviser. The general has come under withering criticism by former military commanders for his decade-long role with a foreign think tank that also accepts funding from foreign governments, including Russia and China. McMaster left the White House post Monday.

McMaster spoke before many of the foreign think tank’s forums, and was a featured speaker before the 2009 “Manama Dialog.”

The organization’s website boasts, “The IISS is a non-partisan organisation, independent of government and other bodies.”

Don't forget that McMaster was also a research fellow at the Hoover Institution on War Revolution and Peace and a member of the Council of Foreign Relations. And actually he's job after Afhganistan was in TRADOC and commanding general of the Maneuver Center of Excellence at Fort Benning.

McMasters telling how it is:


(Btw, first Time Trumpski tweeted in a negative manner about Putin, backing up "Animal Assad".)
