    How many children do you need to rape before you feel you need to invade another country to distract from it?

    I imagine the answer is, “a lot.”

    It’s a combination of a few things:

    1. Seize the largest oil reserve in the world, specifically that has heavy crude which is the type that America has lots of refineries for.

    2. Set the tone for the rest of the world, some macho bravado bullshit, just typical little insecure dictator stuff.

    3. Distract from domestic issues: Epstein, economic issues, ICE abducting people in the street, all the corruption from the regime (pardoning crypto criminals because they paid Trump $2B, etc)

    God damn, two FUCKING inches.

        I’m guessing it’s a reference to how far the piece of glass from the podium that hit Trump’s ear as a result of the first assassination attempt was from hitting him fatally if it had been the bullet, which it wasn’t.

    We bombed a country and kidnapped a foreign head of state, it’s not a fucking distraction you idiots, we’re just doing a ton of fucked up things. This would have happened regardless of Epstein, it’s ok to give this attention for what it fucking is.

    Maduro and Trump are friends

    Maduro gets to escape his country and save face instead of being assassinated or executed.

    Trump gets to manufacture a conflict so he can start martial law and become a dictator, and to distract from us learning he came inside little girls.
