So… what in hell is Blumpf up to in Greenland, of all the places?
Back in the Bad Old Days I had dealt with guys like Blumpf back before I was obsoleted. One in ten would get spectacular results like he did - firing random shots at his adversaries while erratically supporting his allies. Most of those types just became loose cannons, careening across the deck, crushing their own crews and the people foolish enough to get too close to them. I thought Blumpf was just stirring the pot when he started talking about Greenland. To be honest I’m confused about Venezuela too. Is there a plan to this? Or is Blumpf just pulling stuff out of his arse, throwing it at the wall and hoping some of it sticks?
I get the geopolitical tactic of area denial: if he grabs these countries and draws them into the US sphere of influence, he denies them to Russia and China. But… China isn’t a net threat - Chairman Xi retains power by the skin of his teeth. He’s got his hands FULL with potential enemies all over the Pacific Rim and inside his own country. Russia has its hands FULL with the Kraine and NATO. Europe is hopping mad, demanding more money and support for the now-stale Ukraine war. They are on the edge of financial ruin and all out civil war with all the human trash they imported from the third world.
Ordinarily the “follow the money trail” would sort this all out… but the (((donor class))) in America is all over the place on this too. They’d hoped for an easy win in the ‘Kraine and that they’d be looting and raping a defeated Russia of all its wealth and assets right now. But there’s SFA for that in Greenland. And as for Venezuela’s oil… their infrastructure to support the industry are in ruins. Communists and socialists can loot and steal…but are too dumb to grasp concepts like investment and preventative maintenance. Getting Venezuela up to serious production will take 5 to 10 years and billions in investment. The US financials aren’t much better than Europe’s.
There’s a lot of stupid people in powerful positions doing incredibly stupid things right now… and there all kinds of stupid prizes to be won - by everyone.
The times, they are a-changing.
