    The overlooked part about this whole VENZ thing is that part of the motivation is to protect the US dollar as the world reserve currency. Plain and simple.

    VENZ was selling oil for Rubles and Yuan.

    Cant have that.

    Because if we do, our lifestyles here in the US crater. No more welfare. No more Sect 8 housing. No more hotels for migrants. No more ACA.

    The US economy grinds down and fast.

    All these programs the left supports require the endless hum of the money printers… without those we can’t pay for any of that ****.

    Dummies

    It’s interesting that I cannot tell if this repost of JD’s condescending spin is intended to make fun of JD Vance or if you actually read that and think it’s something that’ll help make a cogent argument or make you look smart in any way.

    You are projecting coherence here though. Not one time during the press conference did any of the regime leaders say anything about protecting the dollar and any strategy around that.

    Instead they themselves said why they were there, and it had nothing to do with protecting the dollar.

    According to the admin this is about something along the lines of -

    -law enforcement
    -drug trafficking
    -regime change
    -taking the oil
    -something about troop deployments to LA and Chicago??…

    So forgive me if I missed it but I didn’t hear a coherent argument and strategy about protecting the value of the dollar.

    That literally makes no sense. What does Naivety have to do with anything I said that was just stating the fact that the Trump regime literally didn’t say a thing in their press conference about preserving the value of the dollar? That’s just stating a fact.

    Wait… so the stated position of Trump supporters is that we should NOT believe what they say their stated purpose, strategy, and outcomes are for foreign policy?

    I don’t understand why it’s a good thing that a large segment of the country thinks they are supposed to take a stated fact, and interpret it in a completely altered fashion to the desired fantasy you wish to live in rather than just simply looking at the facts, and dealing with reality in the way to actually try and further successful outcomes.

    I guess when you watched the Mavs game last night your reality is that Sengun hit the game winning shot in overtime, scored a triple double, and at half time Stone made a trade for Giannis for 2 second round picks.

    If you want to live in a fantasy that’s fine, but don’t be surprised when people laugh at you when YOU call THEM naive.
