Hmmm. That is debatable. In some ways, yes they have. But have they ever contributed troops to any wars? Nope, except recently, in numbers so small as to be totally meaningless.
Economically Japan has been as much a nemesis as a friend over the decades, and Angela Merkel is an arse.
Now, if a few Jap and German warships pop up in the Gulf, I would be pleasantly surprised.
The Kaffiyeh as the sea is a nice touch, donât you think? As is the Hebrew, clearly designed to send a message to Israelis (spoiler alert: that message is not âWe desire peace with youâ).
Quite a few of their limited resources are tied up battling the Somali Pirates and largely to our benefit since so much of our trade passes through that region.
I agree though, if the Germanâs want proof , bring the assets in and see for themselves.
So on November 29, 2011, the game show host Donald Trump tweeted that he thought then president Barack Obama was going to start a war with Iran to win reelection.
The irony of this aside.
Just⌠put that aside for a minute. Or forever. Because really, it just is what it is.
The more interesting thing about this tweet is that it shows that Donald Trump believes that starting a war with Iran is a plausible strategy for an American president to win reelection.
Will that work for him?
I donât really have a good guess on that. And I donât make predictions.
What I will say is that at this point, it couldnât possibly hurt. Assuming Joe Biden doesnât make a serious gaffe, heâs really got his work cut out for him. And starting a war is much easier than doing actual work - like, say, stopping the invasion, or at least maybe shutting down the tranny wellness centers for tranny immigrants.
So this whole false flag march to war definitely goes way beyond just shilling for â â â â â It is a personal interest issue.
If youâre in Trumpâs shoes, and you donât really give a fuck about anything other than yourself, youâve got a lot of reasons to start this war.
Itâs going to take another 9/11 to mobilize the population for against war a capable enemy. They couldnât even get public support for large interventions following the Arab Spring and those would have been simple endeavors compared to a victory and long-term occupation of Iran. I donât think that people give a shit about this anymore and many probably think itâs fake.
Whole lotta truth there. In 2011 we were a very war weary country and in 2020 weâll be more divided as a nation than at any time since the US Civil War.
The easier our lives are as Americans the more we are at each otherâs throats tearing the country apart from within.
Common Cause/Common Enemies are about all that can put such a nation back together.
