How will we reconcile our cultural guilt with our obvious position of power?!??

These are the high school and early 20's dipshits that influence the older mouth breathers that come to this board and parrot this stuff.

How can you read that post, realize you have the same political beliefs as them, and not force yourself to sit and contemplate everything you believe?

The irony is Trump wants $5/barrel crude to drive down inflation. He doesn’t want to inflate the price and hurt his administration’s goals.

When milk goes to a nickel a gallon, ribeyes $1.99/lb and boiled crawfish 25 cents a pound.

It's going to get worse for China when Alberta joins the US as the 51st state.

The reddit yo-yo is implying the opposite - that big oil will make fortunes now that the US controls worldwide production. Stupid position when you consider that Trump has been following an explicit policy of driving oil prices down.

How sick in the head do you have to be to not want the U. S. economy to "grow like mad?"

Congrats to the media, public schools and Dems in general for brainwashing millions of people over the years.

Everything Trump has done the last 13 months has been to weaken China, namely tariffs and taking out their two biggest oil providers. He's beating them in a cold war that isn't close to getting hot. It's actually brilliant.


This exactly. It’s all been about China. Killing a tyrant and taking another is just lagniappe. Half of this country would rather root for China than Trump.

The F*ck it's not - That's exactly what an officer corps is for.

It's not only an abuse of power, it's the fastest way to screw up a military operation, which is exactly what happened in Iraq and why it happened.

Stop being a pussy, and a full blown tard.
If you were deployed you see the value of smashing Iran.
If you deployed yet can't see the value in what's going on there is no chance you were anything more than an admin or supply fobbit.
I've personally been wounded by iran. I have 8 brothers killed by their EFP's and another 2 by Iranian snipers. Several more without limbs.
Get fricked

I wish it were possible for the US to round up about ten more of those sanctioned oil tankers and bring them to the US all at once.
