Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Israel are nicking Gaza’s oil? Hardly, Gaza does not have any currently developed or commercially viable oil reserves. But maybe Hamas were providing all those well-stocked tunnels for their intrepid engineers digging down to develop those oil reserves for the benefit of the people of Gaza. They are dancing in the streets of Caracas tonight! because Maduro is gone while lefties are out protesting on the streets of the USA and UK that Trump has removed him from his fortified stronghold. What next a Corbyn/Sultana/Davey/Polanski petition to save the Mullahs of Tehran?

The Palestinians have a small, undeveloped offshore gas field called Gaza Marine, which has significant potential but faces numerous political and legal challenges from Netanyahu and Trump.

Gas. Yes it has gas. But when you are run by an organisation whose top priority (to borrow a phrase from our own highly esteemed Dear Leader and yes they were chanting his name at the Darts again) is the total destruction of Israel and the extermination of Jews then that gas will NEVER be put towards raising the population of Gaza out of its collective misery. Trying to establish a Palestinian homeland is something quite, quite different imo and has proved difficult because as Balan has pointed out although Palestine is a region it has never been a sovereign state and presently does not meet the four conditions for statehood in international law. Many people (myself included) would favour a two state solution but this has been made all but impossible by events on the ground. Just where matters go from here is anyone?s guess.

Your gullibility knows no bounds mon ami.

Venezuela currently has 303 billion barrels of crude oil reserves, which Trump says the US now controls.

Oil prices are currently trading at $57 abarrel, making Venezuela's total reserves worth $17.3 TRILLION.

Even if the US sells this oil for HALF of the market rate, that's still $8.7 TRILLION.

In other words, in 12 hours, the US has gained control of oil reserves worth more than the entire GDP of ALL countries in the world, aside from the US and China.

That's 4 TIMES larger than the GDP of Japan.

Theft and grand larceny on an unprecedented global scale. Pfhucking hell.

All that money, $17 Trillion, in the hands of a murderous, drug running criminal eh, but not any more.

God bless the United States of America.

If it's theft and grand larceny you're after mon ami, with billions of dollars of fraud thrown in as well, have a look at the Democrat run city of Minnesota.

A fine example of Free Market Capitalism working at it's best.

Sad to see so many supporters on here of the US abandonment of any pretence that international law, ingrained democratic norms, or even basic respect for national sovereignty constrains the Orange Manbaby's thirst for total American power.

Mexico, Greenland, Colombia and Cuba up next. What's in it for you lot?

Peace of mind because I can do bugger all about it, therefore, I don't worry about it. As always, "Que sera, sera"
Money rules and Trump and his backers have plenty and it is only those with more money who will dictate what happens next. I am happy because I have nowt so I just get on with life regardless.
I also appreciate the fact that so many people are worrying about what might or might not happen so that I don't have to. It's a good life if you don't get bogged down with politics, football or anything else.

Never mind what's next, just look at the recent past, Hamas eviscerated, soon to lose their weapons and their power base in Gaza, Hezbollah no longer a force in the region, currently directionless as they try to re-group, hemmed in by the IDF on one side and the Lebanese Army on the other while their paymasters self-destruct in Iran. The Houthi leadership decimated, their daily rocketship service to Israel seems to have been suspended. Assad currently enjoying the Russian winter, soon to be joined by the Mad Mullahs of Tehran. Murderous narco terrorist Nicolas Maduro taken out by US Special Forces, now languishing in a New York jail as China and Russia lose their access to Venezuelan oil.

What's in it for me ? I just love watching TDS infected Lefties running around like headless chickens as the Donald bestrides their world like a Colossus. Halcyon days mon ami.

He's totally destabilising the globe sinkov. If we are both still here in 5 years, let's review the inevitable $hitstorm he is creating.

Those of you on the wrong side of humanity do not give a $hit about what happens to millions of people affected by this lunatic.

I despair, I really do.
