Three brief stories via Zerohedge.Thanks for reading Meaning In History! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. Poland has the biggest coal reserves in Europe—vast amounts of it—but they’ve pretty much shut down production, because … climate, save the planet, EU green politics, you name it.
So Poland shut down Yamal pipeline and gave up the revenue. OK. But Ukraine, despite all the saber-rattling, continues to transport Russian gas and take rubles from Gazprom!
President Trump's Cabinet choices were severely impacted by the Traitor McConnell not putting the Senate into recess. To judge President Trump's choices without taking this fact into account gives a very distorted view of the President's judgment.
Does no one in DC recognize how incompetent, impotent and inept we look on the world stage right now? Our threats appear as what they are, empty and foolish gestures. We have become the Barney Fife and Inspector Cleuseau of geopolitical endeavors!
“Nobody f@&ks with a Biden”, give me a break!! When I was growing up in Kansas, we had a saying about blowhards like Joe Biden,”he’s nuthin but hot air and horseshit”.
A jerk, a joke and a jack wagon all rolled into one.
My fear is that the elite in DC actually see themselves as extremely competent, able to not just impact but perhaps even direct world events, and intellectually a cut above leaders in other countries as well as those on the other side of the aisle. They do not seem to let reality intrude on their self-delusions.
Biden’s administration only modus operandi / toolbox with non hostile states, is using threats / pressure / sanctions, verbal pressure, social media, etc. Basically force.
Saudis have the options to reduce the petroleum dollar, and reduce assets in the West. I expect this to happen, which will hurt the us Follar as the worlds reserve currency.
I've heard it said that Trump liked to get advice from all directions...and then make up his mind. Perhaps.
Perhaps also something about 'keep your friends close...and your enemies closer' with Bolton...except during Trump's four years he didn't have many of either close to him...so he ends up with Jared, Ivanka, and...John Bolton...
Tx for the roundup Mark. Looks like the Euro energy chickens are coming home to roost. Trump called out the Germans on their hypocrisy, that of paying Russia billions for energy while the American taxpayer picks up the bill defending them from same energy supplier! That alone was enough for the DS to get rid of T - what? then there’d be no more wars?!

So hard to keep one's hypocrisometer calibrated these days.

Trump NEVER made that case to the masses. He winged about Mitch occasionally, but he never outright went on Twitter and went to war with the RINO's.

No argument here. These people are, like the old joke goes, legends in their own minds…..

So how did Bolton get to be Trump's NSA, however briefly? Was he a Pence recommendation, or Trump's son-in-law, or ...?

And I say this as a Trump fan.
With so many people betraying and lying to Trump, sounds right.
He replaced H.R. McMaster that watered down Trumps agenda of America First over his 18 month, after Flynn got railroaded. Bolton lasted over a year.
Trump was probably attracted by their similar views on nato, un, etc. the dissimilarities were on the use of force and negotiations.

If the Deep State can't simply admit its wrong and let go of Assange, how will it ever admit its wrong about taking down Russia?
I don't think it can.
By the way, Bolton *is* a monster.
