Trump doesn’t play chess.
He plays checkers.
Against pigeons.
Pigeons that can only shit all over the board.
He still loses. Because he is in fact, that dumb.
Let’s be clear. The US military is extremely competent. This is a fact whether you agree with what they do or not, they are scary good at what they do.
Trump, a moron, is now in charge of said lethal force. He and his cronies just thought “We should capture (kidnap) that guy and parade him through the courts for propaganda points”. Then they called the military and said “get him” and the military was like “okie dokie, that’ll be 68 billion dollars please”, and got it done.
That was the extent of it. There was no plan as to what to do afterwards.
The loot whores that went in the next day to cut deals had a plan.
Hire PMCs to “keep the peace” while they loot everything they can.
Continuing the point that Trump is a moron, he was recently pushing the US to do more nuclear testing, and so I think it’s obvious that Trump really wants to nuke somebody.
I think part of the reason he’s escalating international violence is because he wants a chance to deploy nuclear weapons.
He wanted to nuked a hurricane.
He’s a fucking idiot and he totally wants to nuke something.
I wouldn’t mind handing him a very small satchel nuke. That was armed, on a delay just long enough to go into a bunker somewhere.
Yup. The first time around he was told repeatedly by many people he can’t use a nuke. After awhile they let him use a MOAB. The largest non-nuke.
Better hope Trump never finds out what happens when a nuke is used in the upper atmosphere. That was Starfish Prime.
In my opinion, Trump is just having a 1980’s fantasy. Nukes, interventions in south america, etc.
Honestly I think his ideas for the country fit right in about 100 years before that. Considering the end of the 19th century in the US is mainly known for imperial expansion, rolling back of civil rights, corrupt political machines, monopolistic corporations run by a handful of rich people, anti-immigrant sentiment and laws…
I mean to be fair it’s a really cool explosion.
A terrifying, lethal, environment destroying, evil explosion. But really cool.
Let’s leave the “rule of cool” for DnD, not for international politics thankyouverymuch
I dunno. Murdering innocents, taking over the country, wake of destruction, pretending to be what they aren’t, eating nothing but fast food.
Now that you mention it the current administration really does seem like a group playing DnD.
Okay but what about internal politics? Salt Lake City is right there being Mormon.
Let’s be clear. The US military is extremely competent. This is a fact whether you agree with what they do or not, they are scary good at what they do.
Yes. This is true. We did not lose in Iraq or Afghanistan militarily. We lost because of poor statecrafting ability.
I’d compare it to a pigeon playing chess, but that would insult the pigeons.
A rabid, STI ridden lab chimp with a fragile ego playing chess might be a better comparison.
5d chess? Trump couldn’t play chess on a straight line.
On a straight line? Like 1d chess?
That would only work for like 2-3 pieces
I don’t think anyone, anywhere (except for the paid lackeys/courtiers on Bullshit Mountain) was ever going to make the claim that donnie dumbass has ever played 5 dimensional chess in any context whatsoever.
I expect Gary Kasparov, who wrote the article, to have tried
is flipping the table a strong first move? Debatable.
Can’t capture the pieces if they are eaten
