    Who even knows what the real goal is beyond some kind of resource theft / embezzlement / bribes.

    With this administration, who knows, but Israel and those under its sway have long wanted to do something like this. Remember John McCain, Mr Maverick-y McMaverick, singing about it?

    Would not surprise me to learn that PEDOnald wants to personally enrich his crime wave of a family, though. He is that brazen and disgusting and the CUCKservatives stand by and let him do it. He should be in prison already, even before this second term, but the kind of janky shit he’s done just the past year should land him in jail as well as his failsons and his son-in-law, too.
