re: Joe Kent on Tucker: Mafia style tactics being used to intimidate Trump

Maybe starting up Korea as soon as WWII was over then starting up Viet Nam as soon as Korea was over then starting up Middle East as soon as Viet Nam was over then starting up WarOnDrugs as soon as Middle East was over then starting up Iraq as soon as WarOnDrugs was over (and tossing in an Afghanistan chaser) then starting up full-on Afghanistan as soon as Iraq was over then starting up Ukraine as soon as full-on Afghanistan was over then starting up Iran when Ukraine is fading was.... just coincidence.

No, it isn't.

But thanks for pointing out that you're claiming that you "know" what is happening with our current president because of what happened with JFK over 60 years ago.

Biden pulled the troops out of Afghanistan and although he claimed he would use force to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, he didn't attack them. Yeah, he authorized aid to Ukraine, but we didn't start that war or fight in it.

Why didn't the "Deep State" put a bullet in his head?

Jimmy Carter's biggest military intervention was Operation Eagle claw...barely anything, and it was at the end of his term. Why'd they let him live for four years without a war?

Reagan had a 1 week excursion into Grenada, a two year campaign in Lebanon involving maybe 1500 Marines, and he bombed Libya. No major "money-making" wars. Why'd they let him fool around with piddly stuff like that for 8 years without putting a car bomb under his limo or a severed horse's head in his bed at the WH?

Clinton: Somalia was three months, Bosnia was three weeks, Kosovo was 2 1/2 months, and Desert Fox was four days. Again, eight years of no long protracted "money-making" wars. And he's still breathing.

You're falling for the same bullshite you paranoid populists always fall for. Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy. You start with your conclusion and only notice the patterns that conform to your pre-conceived conclusion, ignoring the ones that don't.

The US spent nothing on the military during the Reagan presidency. There was no cold war spending. He refused to build up the military and stated that he would not do so.

---

So military spending now counts as RICO-level "evidence?" I thought it was about continually starting wars for profit.

That goal post looks like it's further back in the end zone than when we started this discussion.

Reagan's administration revived the B-1 bomber program, which had been canceled by the Carter Administration, and began production of the MX Peacekeeper missile. Reagan's response to Soviet deployment of the SS-20 missile was his approval of NATO's deployment of the Pershing II missile in West Germany, despite much protest.

By the time Reagan stepped down from the helm, he had expanded the U.S. military budget to a staggering 43% increase over the total expenditure during the height of the Vietnam war. That meant the increase of tens of thousands of troops, more weapons and equipment, not to mention a beefed-up intelligence program.

"Star Wars" One of Reagan's controversial proposals was the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), a system intended to make the U.S. invulnerable to nuclear missile attacks by the Soviet Union. By stationing those defenses in outer space, the U.S. was able to circumvent the United Nation's Anti-Ballistic (ABM) Treaty. In a speech in 1983, President Reagan announced his plans to create a shield against nuclear missile attacks. The news media quickly dubbed his new proposal for the SDI as "Star Wars," as well as characterizing it as a carelessly drawn-up science fiction idea.

This is the real question.

My suspicion is that Trump is hiring physically attractive candidates rather than competent candidates. See Noem.

Kirk had been making trips to the WH to lobby against a war with Iran right before 12 day war last summer.

So obviously Kirk didn’t publicly support Trump’s action in Iran and that’s what led to the Jews killing him.

Right? I mean that’s obviously the case. Right?

Damn, you've gotten stupid or something.

It’s a “wild statement” to think people are threatening Trump after he was clearly allowed to get shot in PA?

Have you lost your mind?

Do you think that the MIC makes no money with military build-up? They don't give two schitts how the money is printed and handed to them, only that it is. But realistically, it's easier to print those MICbucks while we are dropping bombs on little brown people somewhere. Gotta replace that ordnance.
