    Absolutely crazy to think Trump isn’t aggressively contesting the entire Pacific Rim, North Africa, and Eastern Europe. FFS, how many times does he need to bomb Iran or Yemen before this shit is settled? How many times does need to send Steves Banon and Miller out to Germany, Poland, and Hungary to whip support within the fascist parties? How come the common denominator between every banana republic fascist in Latin America is their Austro-Hungarian parentage and their avowed support for Israel?

    Might be closer to say he’s ceding the African/East Asian Global South to the Israelis/Saudis/Qataris/UAE. But even that gives him far too much credit.

      He’s not ceding Africa. Don’t forget they recently conducted air strikes in Nigeria.

      In fact, Trump mentioned the weather preventing them capturing Maduro a few days ago, that would have been the 1st. The strikes in Nigeria were on the 25th.

      I think the plan was to bomb somewhere on both Christmas and New Year’s day.

      Maybe Trump didn’t want Santa or Jesus getting all the attention. I’m joking, but given the man’s utterly deranged, it’s not entirely implausible.
