Are we watching an empire collapse in real time?

And as also pointed out in that podcast, the country with the largest oil reserves in the world is Venezuela the second largest Iran.
I see no connection there does anyone else........

You have to be careful with these podcasts, they also have a rather loose handle on the truth.....
Venezuela has the largest reserves, Saudia Arabian is next, then Canada and then Iran.
The type of oil that the US need for their refineries is in Canada, Venezuela and Russia.
The type of oil they pump out of the ground in the US are similar to what Saudia Arabian, Iran and the other Arab Emirate countries have.
If you stuff up the ability for those countries to deliver their oil, then the US oil becomes a valuable commodity that gives the US money and power again .... I think that is more the way the people in the back room who control Trump are thinking ..... make money quick while we still can, the US oil is only good for producing petrol and diesel and maybe jet fuel, no good for all the other by products the world really needs.

With China destroying the fossil fuel demand with electric vehicles, the US oil will become a bit like steaming coal ..... no one wants it any more .....

Figures I saw showed Iran third behind Venezuela and Saudi, but who's bothered about total accuracy when Orange manbaby is involved.

Ah, you can see why he wanted to make Canada the 51st state then. Tango Man is obsessed with fossil fuels.

Oh, and don't forget Greenland . . . Nothing to do with threats from Russia or China, and everything to do with the massive untapped resources which would cause environmental disaster to the area if they were etracted.

I was listening to a You Tube Podcast type thing where a British ex diplomat was say that ships that can show they paid in anything other than USD, are being allowed to pass through the Straits of Hurmuz, if that is for real, that will break the US economy completely ..... you can still get your oil shipments, we just want to cripple the US Petrodollar monopoly ..... I'm guess, some where in there, it also a provision that they can't supply fuel to the USA .....

If this is genuine, the USA is stuffed, the interest along on their national debt is more than 1.2 million USD ever 30 seconds, with no leverage requiring USD to buy fuel, the chances of getting refinanced for their debt as it comes due is going to be at incredible interest rates, if available at all .... if they fail to cover the loans .... that is the end of the USA as we knew it ......

If true then it really puts a spoke in Trumps plans to MAGA, otherwise known as 'get the rest of the world to pay for our lifestyle'. Plan A tariffs - that didn't work out, plan B WW3 - hopefully that won't happen, what's next?

 

[T1 Terry]

I think Trump and the war monger Netanyahu, didn't understand the way the Iranian political and control system worked ..... they didn't cut off the head of the snake, they turned it into a Lernaean Hydra - Wikipedia because they all were instructed to follow plan A if their supreme leader was killed ..... he was old and set himself up so he could be a target for the stupid ..... and it worked the way he intended, getting his son into the top spot along with it .....

They also had a plan clearly set up to retaliate if anything happened to their oil or gas supplies in an aggressive act, all the military/political intelligence (an oxymoron if there ever was one) knew this and that is why these facilities were never attacked in a way to cut production long term.
Again, the moronic war mongers have set off the trigger to disrupt all oil and gas supplies in the region ...... now the world is in real trouble as well as the USA, but all those oil based financed regimes will be crippled ..... except for Russia ..... you have to wonder if this wasn't part of the ploy from the beginning, just using the morons as puppets ......

Bullies don't like being hit back, they run off never to try it on again with that target.
Their " toughness" gets put under the spotlight and they come out looking the loser.

And trump a bully.
He'll sam off out of this conflict leaving everyone else to pick up the pieces, then start on someone else.
Cuba next time

Not enough resources (brown envelopes) in Cuba that he wants.

Probably just trying to find someone they can beat, not that it worked out last time.

They managed to conquer Grenada back in the 80s.

Maybe Canada, can you see the blood nose he would get from that idea, Carney has already kicked his butt at every turn in the tariff wars, the US would lose all the states along the border, including Alaska, then Hawaii would jump on the band wagon to become independent again .....

And Panama in the late 80s, although the Google AI categorises them both as undeclared small scale invasions. Prior to that the only Mexico and Spain in the 19th century and of course the native Americans and their civil war, but beating yourself doesn't really count.

Trump will change that, so at least he can be remembered for winning at something
In the other definition of the term, there would be so many candidates for the award ..... it would still be difficult to hold anyone's interest, so maybe it would need to be a yrly award ..... I think this yr and last yrs award would have to go to Bobby Kennedy ..... but there are quite a few females that could be in the running but disqualified for competing in a male sport

There is a lot of the F word in this you Tube video, but I think he has said what no other American wants to admit, and that will be the total downfall of the country, racism and sexism
