that the US will survive even a year under Trump.

Frankly, I vote that all "blue" states secede from the Union and create a new nation called the New United States of America.

We could keep Washington, DC and Trump could move to TX and set up his Empire of States there. NYC wouldn't have to deal with the bill for Trump's staying there. In fact, we could tax him.

other countries. Congress is a waste, the US is so damn divided. Millions and millions are fed up. It's hard to predict just WTF might happen, but sadly my hunch it is will not be good given the cast of characters.

or another original Pakistan. Perhaps we can combine with Canada. Eastern seaboard to Virginia. All of Canada along with Illinois and Minnesota. Perhaps Detroit in Michigan. Then western seaboard. Then what about New Mexico and Colorado?

profits in war machines, death and mutilation. SOS repeats. In the process, major cities in the US will probably be hit.

but trumpfuhrer WILL BE responsible for some upcoming hostilities where we have no choice who we go to war with because he will have started it in one of his rampages on twitter, guaranteed. Obama kept us safe in a way that kept things low key, this buffoonish clown entering in january has no class, temperament or experience in handling these types of situations. The MIC is going to have a field day with his stupidity, ego and ignorance. People around him will not be able to control the caveman. Good luck americans.

Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia. Quite half the posters had the wrong faces on them. Clearly the agents of Goldstein had been at work.

he owes them over $900 million and war would be a great way to disavow the debt. Just like he always does with debt, he threatens war with the debtor in the form of legal action.

Trump has too many business interests with Russia, which takes Syria off the table; China will run a cold war because of US-China trade; and Iran will lead a coalition of Muslim states against the US when Trump puts our embassy in Jerusalem and calls it the capital of Israel.

Easy pickin's and the collateral damage is far far away, mainly Korea, at least theoretically. Anyway it worked for Eisenhower and Trumpworld is all about high-yield low-risk sequels and reruns.

Of course, the real world is not Hollywood, but some of us never seem to learn that lesson.

UN/US action after Putin tricks his "ally" into a hostile military action against a neighbor a la Poppy/Sadaam 1990.

Those two wars make Putin money.

The US is aligned with the GCC countries and Israel.

If Trump moves away from the GCC in any significant way we are going to see some crazy shit happen. May was just at the supreme council meeting swearing her eternal loyalty to the GCC countries and they expect Trump to do the same.

There are a lot of theories why the KSA has been over producing oil for a while now, but we know it hurts the Russian producers (and the gov via taxes), Iran and the US frackers.
