    So he has foolish ideas about ending existing wars and plans to start a few new ones.

    He really can’t wait to go full Hitler.

        The rules to baseball seem to line up even:

        1. Someone tosses you a gift (Baseball)
        2. You smack the shit out of in a way that forces everyone to go looking for/chasing it as a distraction.
        3. Invade their bases, stealing whatever you can.
        4. Return home with your stolen bases without the other side being able to touch you in any way.
        5. Hailed as a hero.

        Which part of sportsball am I missing here.

      Get off of social media?

      If anything, these elections should teach us that we shouldn’t be putting our faith in the political process. This generation is learning from experience why previous generations didn’t care to discuss politics; it’s all crapshoot and we are better off focusing on things we can have substantial impact on.

        This should be teaching us to work at the local and state levels to change the political process.

          You’re right, to an extent.

          The problem is that small-town politics are usually red-dominated; it’ll be a big uphill battle to change their minds.

      He’s not going to do anything. But we’re now talking about this instead of something else. Mission accomplished.

      He’s throwing everything he can into the wind so that it distracts the American people from all the heinous shit his compatriots are doing. He has always been good at exactly one thing: distracting bluster. And he’s a master at it.

      He’s just an entitled, stupid, obnoxious rich white man like there are hundreds of thousands in America. He’s treating the presidency like a tv show and the country like something he owns. He sees his power as a way to get richer, so he’ll bully other countries if they have something he wants. Strategy and geopolitics don’t mean anything to him.

    I’m sure the 25th Infantry Division is thrilled to know they’ll be required to fight a jungle insurgency for an obsolete canal.

    This is it folks, this is his “making us respected on the world’s stage again.” He’s going to piss off absolutely everyone and balkanize the US.

    I’d say it’s been a good run, but it hasn’t been.

    From a Risk/HoI4 point of view it makes sense, take all territory down to Panama so you can place all your army stacks there so the front is real small.

    But this would go as well as when Russia tried to invade it’s neighbor: not good at all.
