I realize many of you outside of the US see Trump as more of the same. But I can promise you had Harris won we would all be vaporized by now. You can see that by the fact that the Biden administration is still trying to hit Russia with missiles. They would have wasted no time lobbing projectiles at Moscow because the neocons for whatever reason think Putin doesn’t mean what he says. 👀

I have said this frequently… Trump is NOT an intellectual. He is a billionaire construction worker. Which is why he is able to communicate very deftly with the American people. At heart the American PEOPLE are good people. However,sadly most of them are not deep thinkers or well, very bright. Both sides, people who identify as right and those who identify as left are pretty ignorant about things that go on outside of the country in their name. Add to that years of brainwashing by government education…well it’s just a mess. I actually had a two sentence interaction with a woman who said she hated Russia because they were communists. Sigh 😒

I voted for Trump not because I’m a super fan but because I have grandchildren and I decided that they actually had a chance of surviving under Trump. My family were my motivation. Yes I know Trump is trapped in the 1990s when it comes to geopolitics. But he’s not an ideologue. He can be reasoned with. And therein lies the difference. We all know that Harris would not be running the country she’s drunk and stupid. Hillary, the Cheneys, the Bush family and Larry Fink would be…until they too succumb to their own fate.

100% tariffs is stupid and will only hurt the US. At some point SOMEONE will have the courage to talk Trump out of this idiocy. He probably also isn’t aware that China is buying US dollars from US allies. And Trump also doesn’t seem to understand those dollars can be used against us.

America has raised several generations of stupid people and they are about to get an education. The difference is Trump may bankrupt the country, you can always try to rebuild what’s broken but if you are vaporized there’s no coming back from that.

I know that some of my fellow Duranians like to see the cats that Alex talks to and sometimes feeds. Cyprus seems quite enlightened about providing feeding stations for them. Animal charities are active in Greece too.
This is from Corfu:

If you have an iPhone the new update allows EU and UK authorities to remotely search your iPhone and notifies them of any “illegal” content.
Nowhere does it specify what constitutes “illegal” content.
This from a government that arrests people for twenty year old facebook posts.

This article paints is a succinct picture. I really cannot believe this is question exists, and it makes me feel hopeless about ever stopping the war machine.

‘…Are voters making the connection?
The connection between foreign policy (i.e. war, tariffs, US meddling, etc.) and the troubles faced by the US economy cannot be ignored. But this is where optics matter. This is where the analysis should focus. Not simply on whether or not foreign policy has an impact, but how that impact is seen, and what decisions are made thereafter.

If narrative and media overtake reality, then this is where perception of the effects of the war matters. People who do not believe Trump made a mess of his war of choice and that they have to pay up for it out of their own pocket will be more likely to excuse Trump’s fiascos as cases of strategic “oops”, to put it in light terms..’

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
