There is almost nothing left, no reason why any American would support Donald Trump except for the racism and to "pwn the libs." Both of those are signs of people who don't care about America; for them, the cruelty is the feature.

Let's go through each item..../1

...a. Iran has resumed its development of nuclear capabilities. Strangely, Fox News foreign policy fails. Despite all of our allies and the IAEA saying that the Iran nuclear agreement was working, well, it came during the black man's presidency, so in the minds of Fox and.../2

...Cult45. None of them were capable of actually *understanding* what the nuclear agreement did. They just heard a few Fox/Trump talking points, and that was it - Suddenly, they were experts. In their world, everyone on the globe was wrong, only Fox & the GOP knew the truth.../3

...so, here was their brilliant idea: Put back in place sanctions, which were in place when Iran began developing nuclear capabilities. And somehow, when they went back to doing the same thing, the same result occurred. Iran is now refusing international inspections.../4

...and we know, for a fact, that they have returned to pursuing the actions necessary for a nuclear program. The GOP/Israeli plan of bombing Iran would set off global chaos - we would then be at war with both the sunnis & the shiites. Trump and the GOP could well accomplish.../5

...what 1,000 years of conflict has prevented: Unifying the shiites and sunnis, at least when it comes to formally declaring war on the west (since they can declare that we attacked first.)

b. North Korea's missile/nuclear program is back. Kim Jung Un quickly figured out.../6

...that all he had to do was compliment Trump and the moron would let North Korea literally do anything. They are testing missiles, they are pushing toward nuke development, faster than they ever have, they are threatening South Korea. And whenever things might turn bad, Kim.../7

...just writes Trump a "lovely letter." And he smiles and preens for the camera, and whenever he is asked about NK's rush to shoot more missiles, he smiles and glows and says "I love Kim." Trump is literally selling out global security because Kim Jong Un figured out all.../8

...this moron cares about is getting "lovely letters" that compliment him. Narcissism over national security.

c. Trump has destroyed international trade. Remember years ago Trump said "trade wars are easy to win"? Well, its years later, and we still have trade wars.../9

...decimating American agriculture. Worse, during those years, other countries that, you know, act in their own interest, have found other trade suppliers. Our future will require greater competition with other suppliers, particularly in the critical areas of soybeans.../10

...add to that also technology problems. Unless America permanently adopts a grander level of socialism for farmers, with them being paid billions to offset the damage inflicted by Trump out of his own stupidity, we are could well have an extended depression in agriculture.../11

...12. Our critical military footholds in South Korea and German have been destroyed, potentially forever. Germany might be recoverable, but they now see that the United States is a horribly unreliable military ally, that we are more than willing to elect a moron who doesnt.../12

...understand strategic policy, and will declare he is pulling out at the drop of a hat - almost CERTAINLY because Trump is angry that Germany is acting in its own self-interest. There is no doubt in my mind that Trump's declaration we were pulling troops out of Germany was.../13

...directly related to Angela Markel's decision not to come personally to the G-7 meeting this summer because of COVID. It was only *days* after Merkel announced that that Trump announced he would pull troops out of Germany - in September..../14

...it is literally a "Do us a favor" moment. The threat is unmistakable: "I think the G7 will help my reelection, so if you want your military support, you better come to that meeting." Extortion as policy.

c1: South Korea. Because Kim Jong Un was sending "lovely letters".../15

....Trump severed some critical military agreements with South Korea - of course, assuming he could extort them into lining up with North Korea so he could win a Nobel (Pulitzer) Prize. But no, once again, South Korea had the audacity to act in its own national interest.. /16

...so turned to, drumroll please, China. China - the country that poses the greatest threat to supplanting the United States as the global military and economic power. We will have this massive military, holding our dicks in our hands, as all of our allies run off and get.../17

...lined up with other countries for their own national security interests. Oh, what do you do when you have a giant military and no ally to provide military support to? Hopefully, the answer isn't just fight some arbitrary war. But if we do - we're on our own. Our allies.../18

...arent going to make that mistake again. They are not going to side with us and get their soldiers killed just because we messed up.

There is so much more for this thread. But I have something to do for a few hours. So It will continue later. But please note: I haven't.../19

...said a word yet about economic collapse, race relations, ability to fight infectious disease and on and on. We will get to those later. But we have a loooooonnngg way to go. It is so easy to destroy a democracy so long as you have an idiot in charge, complete with.../20

...propagandists who keep Cult45 in line by endlessly lying to them about what is really going on.

So, back in a few hours. /21
