All the money we spent in Iraq, then we were stupid to let the Chinese get the oil.
“All the money we spent in Iraq, then we were stupid to let the Chinese get the oil.”
This is MISINFORMATION! Who in the world said, “we” (our so-called political leaders) were smart? The Iraq disaster is just one of many and is only the tip of the iceberg.
And now they’ve driven us into a buzzsaw in Ukraine which can easily escalate into WWIII. Ukraine is none of our business!
What a bunch of fools.
One of Trump’s expressions that made me think he would be different was when he said stuff like “Bomb the shiite out of them and take their oil to pay for it.”
If we send in American boots on the ground, we damned well better be negotiating American Land as the thing to fight for. Big, sweeping American EmBASEees along the border between Russia and Ukraine. A Lend Lease project. Americans fighting for American land. For generations we could use that land to build airports and fight terrorism in that region. I would call it the BBudapest AAgreement LLend LLease program because it would take BALLs.

I have been advocating for several years a policy I call ‘embaseees’. Embassy + AirBase —> EmBASEeees. We go into a terrorist country, clear out their taliban equivalent, then withdraw to very large Embassies, perhaps 3 of them. Have them big enough to encompass a military airbase where we can use it for decades on end to conduct anti-terrorism operations. As long as the ‘host’ country aint killing Americans then we let them have self-sovereignty. Kind of like how we operated in the Phillipines for decades. We could even have an intermediate zone that we patrol but it would be autonomous. Let them have their taste of freedom. A referendum every 10 years to see how large the boundaries of the intermediate autonomous zone should be.
