Now he has pissed off old mate Vlad. Hijacked a Venezuelan oil tanker sailing under a Russian flag, on the high seas, transporting oil to Russia. Vlad is not impressed. https://abcnews.go.com/International/us-seizes-russian-flagged-oil-tanker-north-atlantic/story?id=128976500

Just remember GON, you're a pawn in their game. Certainly won't make life better for you, and you are very, very dispensible. I have firends and ex-colleagues in the US emailing me to see what opportunities are over here.. But, they are the travelled ones. But don't take my word for it. Move their like you say you have been invited to. Find out for yourself. Just don't forget to rescind your Aussie citizenship on the way.

Well, Chump renamed the Department of Defense (sp!) to the Department of War. He is now asking tor the Department of War budget to be increased from ISD $906bn to $1.5tn - of which tariffs will fund a lot of it apparently. His making life easy for the tech bros to make more money, so they will use their social media platforms to control the narrative in Chump's favour. He has debts he has to pay and he has debts owed to him. He may come across as stoopid, but I would say more erratically psycopathic or stabler sociopath who has a plan and is willing to do what it takes to execute it. Voters or the plebs - they are a mere inconvenince (like they are to most political leaders on both sides these days - Chump is just more open about it). He realises that most of the peope - especially in the US pay scant attention to the local and national news, let alone international news - except where the US is involved (such as a war). Unlike the democrats, who got caught up in virtue politics and ignored the majority, he knows that we are more interested in making sure our pay packet goes further more than wehether or not our neighbour is doing it tough these days - and he plays up to it. The same menatality that allowed Puytin to flouris and take more and more control. He doesn't want to be king because of some delusions of grandeur - he only wants to have absolute power - or as absolute as it can be - and primarily to enrich himself, his family and his supporters - or his creditors as I like to call them. FFS, his family crypto business is applying for a banking licence. What sitting political head of a country allows that in normal deomcratic circumstances, when that sitting head directs finanical policy? The absolute majority in both houses of congress has made it a rubber stamp - more or less - of Chump. Although more true conservative republicans sided with the democrats to block appropriations last year leading to the longest government lock down. But for he republicans, didn't this have more to do with the release of the Epstein files than actual prudence? Chump and the republicans have managed to stack the Supreme Court of the US nd many other jurisdictions with Republican puppets, er judges (a flaw in the constitution if ever there was one), which means the other two organs of power are no longer a real check and balance. The mid-terms may, with any luck, address congress, but the democrats are so far uo their own arses and squabbling like chooks over the remaining scaps, that people are not looking at them as a real alternative at the moment - that can keep food on the table. And of course, the bulk of the popular press are supportive of their advertisers who, guess what, are supportive of Chump. Bezos taking over the Chicago Post is evidence of how they went from a vocal critic and check on the government to meek complicity by initially refusing to comment. This has been a long time coming. There will be moves a foot to change the constituion no doubt to allow power to be retained in all but probably official presidency. As long as people think it is the best for keeping a roof over their head, food in their guts, and fuel in their oversised compenation for phallic deficiencies, they will continue to allow it to happen. We have seen it before, and will see it again. Buckle up, it is going to be an interesting ride.
