    Credit fuels a growing economy and smothers a failing one. At some point the US economy must collapse. This is why the US are going after all the major trade chokepoints in a desperate attempt to maintain dominance using their military might.

      You act like America is acting like a rational country…

      trump invested in oil so he wanted to raise the price of oil.

      For him, the way to do that is prevent competition from doing business.

      It’s pretty easy to get a handle on his thought process by watching The Sopranos. trump wants to be Tony, even though Tony was wildly incompetent. Not that trump ever watched the show, he grew up around the real thing. He idolizes the last generation of incompetent NYC mobsters that Tony is based on.

      There’s no 4D chess or grand strategy, he just makes the most selfish decision at every chance that he thinks he can get away with, and right now he thinks he can get away with anything.

      If a random person told him they’d cut him 10 million on a grift, he does what they say and then tries to capture the grift and cut out whoever brought it to be.

      Logically it makes sense Venezuela was at the behest of American corps, but then trump decided he could take it even further, so he unilaterally shut down the largest shipping route for oil on the planet.

      Just cuz it would make his bank account numbers go up a little more.

      That’s it. Pure simple greed from someone whose brain is mush, he just knows he wants more money, that’s the only motivation for anything America does while he’s in charge. There’s just gonna be a lot of evil shit because no one in power cares to stop it.

      Like, if you’re mad about it (everyone should be) you need to understand what’s happening to effectively stop it.

      We have to fuck his money up

        I don’t actually think he has as much control as people think. I think he’s the ideal president for the military to do whatever the fuck it wants and use him as an excuse for how crazy it seems.

          He’s purged the military at the highest levels…

          Buddy, you just don’t seem to be informed on this topic, which is fine, but stop making random guesses and start asking questions if you want to learn anything
