    This has been coming since Venezuela. They are speed running WW3 because they know Trump won’t live forever, and once he’s gone, they won’t have a puppet quite as malleable.

      The guy they want is 94 years old, I doubt they could pull off what they did in Venezuela, in addition to the fact that you cannot argue with 90. If they have their wits, they will win, and they often don’t give any fucks about dying.

      There’s no WWIII coming. For all of the talk of a multipolar world, Trump has proven it’s not here yet. The US’s economic stranglehold may be slipping but its military dominance is still unchallenged.

      The polls don’t lie. Y’all queda isn’t interested in wet weimer Vance, marco pollo rubio, Hits-mom-like-dad-did-Hegseth, and the only explanation for RFKKK’s voice and behavior is that he sucks himself off every night that Bessent doesn’t get there first. (What else would a gay man do at night?)
