He wants war there because that's what Putin told him to push. Russia is the only country that will benefit from this. Little Murderer likes it because he gets to kill more people, but it hurts his country and he doesn't care.

"I'm relocating the US Capital to Vancouver because we are a sovereign nation, with the right like every other sovereign nation, to determine our own capital. I'm sure the Cananadian people will be fine with that. What are they gonna do, complain?"

He tried hard to provoke North Korea over the past year and the two countries (NK and SK) agreed to a peace deal mainly to keep this asshole out of it.

Not going to happen with Israel/Palestine. They want to provoke Palestinians. They're picking winner and losers here.

War in the Middle East will redraw the map to the benefit of our war client state Israel. Palestine will disappear off of all world maps. Poof the remaining vestiges of Palestine are forever gone.

Next, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt - expanding the land holdings of Israel by manufactured provocations that excite the warmongers, chicken hawks, and military school bowling team affectianados with bone spurs.

War is peace. Jesus was a closet Rambo - but too shy to admit it publicly. His NRA membership was always up to date and in good standing. Jesus was a champion marksman and sniper. That fact was just inadvertently left out of the buy-bull by mistake.
