1st Post 2019

It's 2019.

Reagan, both Bushes, Clinton, and Obama all started wars early in Year 3 of their first term to assist with their re-election bids (worked for all but Bush, Sr.). And it's now Year 3 of Trump's first term. Since '15, Trump has been promising regime change in Iran. The US media is against it, since Obama signed a Peace Treaty (of course, Clinton had a 'peace treaty' with Saddam, and Bush, jr had a peace treaty with Qaddafi, so one assumes if St Hillary had been elected, she'd have announced that she wanted to stick with Obama's peace treaty with Iran, but Iranian violations forced her to go to war, and the entire US print and broadcast media would cheer St Hillary on as she led the regime removal, just as they'll condemn Trump for violating that treaty).

The 'experts' say that Iran should not be a top priority, the DPRK, Russia, and China must come first. The US hasn't had much luck against any countries that were not in Latin America. Regime change in Iraq and Libya: easy. A working government where the US corporations could safely exploit all the natural resources: much more difficult. And Russia, China, and the DPRK are all in a league the US has always been rather cautious about challenging. In '45, Truman knew Japan was defeated, so he ordered the US military to use every nuke they had on Japan (they only had 2, and they dropped both of them and destroyed 2 undefended Japanese cities--nukes were too expensive to risk against defended cities).

Then, 6 years later, MacArthur wanted to use nukes against China, but Truman knew the USSR could provide China with a nuclear umbrella, so he fired MacArthur.

Candidate Trump promised no war with Syria or Russia (another of his lies). But Trump seems at least as intelligent as Truman: he hasn't tried regime change in the DPRK, Russia, or China (for which he's called a traitor, leaving those heinous threats un-nuked). The 'experts' who want Trump to destroy the DPRK, Russia, and China think those nations can't do any more than Japan could in '45.

Idiots.
