Trump is starting to fear for his life. Assassination of a country’s leader is frowned upon by other countries. Of course, there are some world leaders who we would not object to dying of natural causes or induced natural causes. If one of those giant poisonous spiders from Australia ended up in Putin’s bed accidentally, well, it is natural.
According to Meidas Touch Network, Trump is askerred because Israel or the US or USrael set one of the biggest natural gas fields in Iran on fire. In retaliation, Iran set an even bigger liquid natural gas area in Qatar on fire. The Qataris are rather upset by this. They won’t be the only ones since that one LNG facility supplies roughly 20% of the world’s natural gas.
Things are rapidly spinning out of control with Israel bombing Lebanon and the US operating without a plan. If there’s something I really can’t stand these days is people without a plan.
Back here in the good ol’ Homeland (how very third Reich that sounds
), Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio are living at Fort McNair near Washington DC. It’s like Kristi Noem living at the coast guard base. Presumably, they are protected from the negative consequences of their hideous opinions and illegal actions by doing that. But lately, there have been drones hovering over these super secret safe places and that’s making the cabinet members nervous.
Personally, I think the drones are a decoy. No, I have no direct (or any) knowledge of this but if I were an enemy, I’d make my adversaries very nervous at home, you know, to the point where they can’t sleep at night. Then I’d deliver the coup de grâce in some other way. Like giant Australian spiders. Or tiny bots that creep into their kitchens disguised as ants that bite their targets on the ankle and deliver some poison with an impressive LD50. You know, as an exercise for the mind… as one does.
And no, I don’t have time to do such a thing but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the enemies we’ve made since the beginning of Trump 2.0 do. Would they employ a little group of Maguyvers putting their fiendish little minds to use crafting deadly weapons with duct tape and a 3D printer? Of course they would. We probably already do it.
This is a very good reason for not starting destructive, illegal, unprovoked wars. We are not the only smart people on the planet. And Iran discovered years ago that while a nuke would be “nice to have”, having beachfront property on the Strait of Hormuz is soooo much easier and better. Only a fool would bother to take on the Iranians without a plan to keep the strait open and knock out Iran’s defenses of it.
Enter Donald Trump.
Anyway, Donald seems to be frightened over the possibility that the Iranians (or maybe the Venezuelans or Cubans or Greenlanders) might want to unalive him. It’s a reasonable fear.
But if they were really smart, they wouldn’t immediately go for the head. They’ll go for someone a little bit farther down the food chain first. Freak out the whole lot of them.
I’m only speculating.
Are you scared yet, Trump administration?
Good. Maybe you’ll think first next time.
In other news, the World Health Organization is advising that maybe now is the time to prep for a nuclear war.
And they all laughed a couple of years ago when I put iodine and water purification tablets in their Christmas stockings. Who’s laughing now??
(Yes, I really did that)
