It might be a good idea to dust off that movie from the '90s.

Looks like he’s trying to outdo Nixon on many fronts. When do we start dropping the napalm.

This is why we’re invading Venezuela; Orinoco Belt is the largest petroleum reserve on the planet, and rare earth mineral Coltan (used in phones, military equipment, etc) is something that the present administration badly wants.

Drug war and cartels are a smoke screen, a distraction away from the natural resources grab.

We’ll hear THAT drum beat from Trump and MAGAland.

“Real American patriots STAND behind the President.”
