You know how MAGA says they don't listen to Trump, anymore?
That's how the entirety of MAGA is going to be treated as things around the world start to break
"Inflation followed by demand destruction followed by recession.
Even if the straight opened today.
This is a global reset and Trump gave the military industrial complex, financial industrial complex and technical industrial complex everything they paid him for.
And MAGA think he’s playing 5D chess for them.
Smart when you know who he works for.
Crazy if you think he works for Americans.
The US is propped up by the Eurodollar, Petrodollar & Japan carry trade.
They are all breaking.
Get ready for the big prints.
Socialize the losses.
Privatize the gains.
Transition the world to multipolarity.
Next step.
Jet fuel shortage followed by flight cancellations and strategic energy conservation policies globally."

People will die, and in the 100s and 1000s.
And it will involve the likes of special forces, which are almost irreplaceable.
Look at what happened to the Russians when they tried to take Hostomel airport.
I pray I’m wrong and another generation doesn’t have to learn our folly, and inability to pivot that kind of policy through generations.

Wait?? Are you're telling me all those other members on here claiming the shut down of the Straits doesn't effect America are wrong?!?!
Who would thought a bunch of cult followers are all just repeating the same nonscience of their leader??

We’re better at making enemies than extinguishing them.
Bin Laden was part of the effort to expel the USSR in the 80’s. Saddam was supported by the US for some time. Iran got their first nuclear research reactor from us.
Theres a theme if anyone wants to look into it. Meddle to much in others affairs and it can one day backfire. Or we could save our soldiers, money and resources by not policing the world as promised by every president on the campaign trail since Bush.
Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya,Somalia and I’m sure I’m missing a few. Which of those are better off now? What are the chances we created future enemies with kids who don’t have parents anymore?
It’s a feedback loop.
We somehow reconciled relations with Germany and Japan after far more horrific warfare, yet people claim a “47 year war” which amounts to proxy battles we put ourselves in is beyond unforgivable. Better we just kill all their power to “liberate” the people from electricity and water in a desert before summer.
Its madness, and laws aside, below the ethics and morality I would hope my nation projects.
If we claim to be a Christian inspired nation, that’s about as far from Christ like evangelicalism and leading others by showing the path we walk as I can think of.

The USA has been cushioned from the actual horrors of war on it's soil.
"No, the United States suffered far fewer casualties than both Japan and Germany during World War II. While the Soviet Union and China incurred the highest total losses, Germany lost an estimated 4.2 million people and Japan lost approximately 1.97 million, compared to the United States' 300,000+ total deaths (roughly 183,588 in the Europe-Atlantic theater and 108,504 in the Asia-Pacific theater). - Comparative Severity: The US military death toll was significantly lower than the Axis powers, partly because the war was fought primarily on foreign soil rather than American territory.
- Theater Differences: More American soldiers died in Europe (183,588) than in the Pacific (108,504), yet both figures pale in comparison to the millions lost by Germany and Japan.
- Civilian Impact: Unlike Germany and Japan, where massive civilian populations were killed by bombing, starvation, and Soviet retribution, the United States saw virtually no civilian deaths on its home soil. " (LLM)
It stands to reason if the USA had similar experiences on their soil, Americans would most likely also be more anti-war.

Hence, one of the reasons you can claim a measure of freedom.
My understanding being all religions are welcome as long as they come in peace.
Your government is intentionally designed to be secular.
But it's a safe bet Christianity had a strong influence on the founding...

The end of the beginning, maybe.
But it's what's to come that's problematic...
