Pull back or trickery? US Venezuela military operation doubts
The Duran: Episode 2380

I read and listen to what people hereabouts including Alexes say over timeline long enough to perceive their core convictions regarding some issue.
And the main, overarching issue is Trump.
Trump is like some kind of political rainbow, glowing brightly in space and whose endpoints seem firmly attached to earth at definite points—see, right over there just beyond that farmhouse on the horizon and over on the opposite side joined to that 5G transmission tower—just about everyone seems to agree—so let's go there and uncover the fabled pot of gold or pot of shit, depending on our outlook.
Except ... you go on and on, scrambling and stumbling and just never seem to get there, always just off, sometimes disappearing altogether.

Listening to Alexes, Trump is all of the following:
Stupid, nasty, liar, narcissist, greedy, selfish, callous, coward, unreliable, warmonger ... and whatever else fits into that container.
If he says such and such a leader is an evil, dope dealing criminal, murdering beautiful babies and massacring people with ricin and other gases, that his tyrannical government must be overthrown and country's resources plundered, it confirms aplenty some of the choice epithets above (nasty, greedy, callous, warmonger)
When he almost invariably does a U-turn and praises the same leader as tough, smart, fair negotiator, then he instantly fulfills the rest of the terms (liar, coward, unreliable, windbag ...).
In terms of physical activity (often next to nil, e.g., Syrian seaborne tomahawks in response to Assad's "war gases", or blasting Iranian discarded R&D sites like Fordow), the net effect is close to zero on a macro scale, certain zero geopolitically.
Yet, despite zero effect in terms of hard rainbow endpoints, Trump is totally confirmed of all those negative traits, he proved them once again and the TDS grows to Ghostbuster Michelin Man proportions, waddling about, terrorizing the sufferers, 2 Alexes and the like-minded cohorts.

So, the ultimate narcissist with every move manages to increase the hatred and contempt on both sides of rainbow arc—not too successful for a narcissist, is it?

Most people have no problem with this oxymoron, it is what it is and hating Trump feels good, fulfills some emotional craving of fast food variety.
I don't think their views are ever likely to change, once ingrained, it becomes a form of psychological dependency, just like Jew-hatred of all things goy, especially the Caucasian races—dogma personified.

I was going to stop here, because, what's the point.
But maybe that's unfair to a few who might be asking why even bother mention it if you got no alternative proposal.

Think of a spiral staircase; when seen from above or below, a person walking it seems to just move in a circle, but from side, they are ascending or descending.
Or to use another simile (a similar simile) that I resorted to the other day, if a sailboat is fighting a headwind, it needs to keep tacking in a zigzag course and over time its progress over a definite direction becomes apparent. One needs to not only understand the origin A but the intended destination B and the difficulty is not eased by not knowing what B is.

What if B is the defeat of the Kabbalah Project of enslaving the gentile humanity, stated openly on numerous occasions, even recorded on YT with messianic rabbis and politicians spelling it out directly?
What if the reality of MAGA is impossible without defeat of this project? What if numerous attempts by honest politicians, defenders of their people and culture have ended up in failure, destruction, personal death, infamy and exile (JFK/RFK/Nixon/Gaddafi/Sadam) and genocide of tens of millions (Germany/Palestine/Russia/Iraq)?
What if Trump has studied these previous attempts and understands that their repeat will end up in the same failure, that riding bravely and directly to the final goal is criminally irresponsible and dooms America to the same disastrous end?

I will stop here, if you didn't pick up anything, fine, why should I disrespect myself and keep wasting time.
Otherwise, I will respect the reader so that he can stem that cognitive dissonance and start making sense of the whole affair.
Still, I may be wrong and the blatant paradox, the oxymoron is the actual reality—iIIWII (It Is What It Is).

Trickery or Pullbackery, you be the judge.

It was Friday yesterday and Trump announced all-out war on Venezuela.
Today is Saturday and Trump praises Maduro as a smart negotiating partner, along with Putin, Xi, Hamas and Kim, all of whom were America's mortal enemies last week (and Jew media, think tanks and politicians were ecstatic, praised Trump, the adult in the room—see where the headwind blows from)

I would never have searched for this. A guy buys an octopussy at the sea food market, and trains it to play the piano...

The Emperor really has no clothes in the eyes of Latin America!

"Colombian President Gustavo Petro declares “the revolution is called life” at Social Summit, condemning U.S. imperialism, Israeli genocide, and Colombia’s past violence."

https://www.telesurenglish.net/petro-social-summit-life-revolution/

Petro framed the central conflict of our era not as left versus right, but as LIFE VERSUS CAPITAL—a stark choice he insists humanity must make before ecological and social collapse becomes irreversible.

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.
