But still its inaction, not winning. Peeps here today said trump is riding in with the calvary. When is he sending boots into syria?
I recommend reading The Art of The Deal.



If he plays out Syria smart, doesn't fund the terrorists like previous administrations resulting in less casualties in the process, how can that be seen as anything other than a win?

Oh right, everybody just wants to heap shit on him for not repairing America in a day and are unwilling to give him a chance.

Thus far, his administration is showing every sign of pushing for war in Iran....The Zionist drums are currently beating out that tune....If not for Putin & Russia, that would already have been a fait-accompli.

I recommend reading The Art of The Deal.
I'd recommend reading this first:

“The Art of the Deal” made America see Trump as a charmer with an unfailing knack for business. Tony Schwartz helped create that myth—and regrets it.

A few snippets:

“I put lipstick on a pig,” he said. “I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is.” He went on, “I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes there is an excellent possibility it will lead to the end of civilization.”

If he were writing “The Art of the Deal” today, Schwartz said, it would be a very different book with a very different title. Asked what he would call it, he answered, “The Sociopath.”
"The first session didn’t go as planned, however. After Trump gave him a tour of his marble-and-gilt apartment atop Trump Tower—which, to Schwartz, looked unlived-in, like the lobby of a hotel—they began to talk. But the discussion was soon hobbled by what Schwartz regards as one of Trump’s most essential characteristics: “He has no attention span.”

Schwartz believes that Trump’s short attention span has left him with “a stunning level of superficial knowledge and plain ignorance.” He said, “That’s why he so prefers TV as his first news source—information comes in easily digestible sound bites.” He added, “I seriously doubt that Trump has ever read a book straight through in his adult life.”
When Schwartz began writing “The Art of the Deal,” he realized that he needed to put an acceptable face on Trump’s loose relationship with the truth. So he concocted an artful euphemism. Writing in Trump’s voice, he explained to the reader, “I play to people’s fantasies. . . . People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole.
Many more interesting stories, Schwartz followed Trump around for 18 months in writing that book. The final paragraph is very interesting...

Well everyone needs incentives, and balance is always needed, surely after Isis last time stole half thier military equipment and beheaded and shot thousands of soldiers they would understand a presence. This would be a way to aviod complete domination by Shia militias, who are now powerful in Iraq.
So.what will iraq rebuild with? Oil is one of their few viable income earners and youve just confiscated it

Not confiscated, secured corporate cooperation for its exploitation ;)
Lol, when it's at gunpoint it's confiscation

Do you think we should have handed over our iron resources to the USA in return for their support helping us against the Japanese in ww2?

Loans for gear and arms is one thing, you're proposing robbing nations of their wealth indefinitely

Isn't that what multinational capitalism is all about?

At least companies pay a royalty, your plan is pure confiscation (and it is the trump plan based upon what he said to the CIA)
Personally I think Iraq should be able to nationalise a large percentage say half of the oil, then allow the other nations to invite companies invest in an agreed share if they choose. Blah it was only a couple of months ago some people were saying Syria and Iraq no longer exist as a nation, divide it up, how do you think that would have turned out?

Again, those nations - whatever they were or became - would be free to exploit their own economic resources.

Your plan denies that chance to Iraq, robbing them of their main source of revenue and export dollars. How do you think they will rebuild their economy without oil? Dates?

To first point, yeah righto then, do you really think such micronations wouldn't be dominated by world and regional powers?
To the second point- did you read the previous comment?

Dominated is one thing, you are taking it to a scale not seen since the british empire. By taking thr economic resources of the nation you give it no foundation to recover and essentially make it a tribute state

And yes i read your post. Even a subdivided iraq and syria would own its own shit

Oh dear, reduced to $1.00 and Made in China. Conway should stock up.
Do you have a receipt? You know how easy it is to peel a clearance sticker off an item and place it on another at clearance stores like Marshalls, Ross and TJ Maxx? Having shopped at these stores over a hundred times on many trips in America I'm skeptical, as these stores never reduce anything other than socks and jocks to under $5.00. But sure post your lame memes, the same memes that I got banned from the election thread for because it triggered too many.

Who's going to listen to the joint statement by Trump and the Japanese prime minister? If the proposed high speed rail being rumored to create 700,000 jobs is true, does that count as a win in your books rfctiger74?
As long as their not at $10 an hour, with all the crews dressed in stripes & shackles.:thumbsu:

No. Hi speed rail for the usa was announced under obama, george w, and even clinton off memory

They have kicked the can and talked about this more than we have with sydneys second airport

I hope its legit this time, but the obstacles traditionally have been too big to over come. Trucking industry dont want it, cities face opposition, and genuine qs about cost effectivenessnof some of the routes proposed in the past

Anything you want to say about the Made in China tag or do people go around with mini sewing machines?

The majority of 'premium' designer label clothing items are made in China. Unless you're buying top tier leather goods for which have arguably the best manufacturing industries in the world, the sad realisation is that 9 times out of 10, the fashion and textile industries are traced back to China. I don't know why you guys think that there's some kind of irony in the Trump's doing business in China.

But then again, if you have a sub 80 IQ, you're more than welcome to think that Trump and his family are hypocrites for not having the power to do all business in the United States. I'll just call you out for being illogical and petulant about a situation that the Trump's previously previously have had no power to reverse.

If over the course of Trump's presidency we don't see him revitalise the fashion and textile industries (you all conveniently ignore the fact that he had all of the high quality MAGA caps made in U.S.A) along with fabrication industries (which he's already on top of), I'll eat my words.

But then this Bigfooty liberal think tank will have a go at him for ripping off the poor Chinese sweatshops for bringing jobs back to America, you're all so predictable.

Ooh, I have run into a know all. Dear me. Think perhaps I may a little bit more about the textile industry than you do having over 20 years in the field.
A HIGH number of quality garments are made in China but also India (cotton fabric) and other cheap labour countries, so what?

Forgot to add you really must stop going around and changing price labels.

This Gif is just for you.
