Rob,

Still pissing down your leg about Trump, to a small group of songwriters, most of which are not capable of forming a coherent rebuttal?

When I saw it, I thought…why not?
If a German citizen is going to post political treatises on a song-site, then I will too offer a different POV..

Trump is engaged in a gambit. Here is what someone with his cause-and-effect mentality likely sees.

A group of mystic theocrats running a country who equate God’s will with the physical destruction of their enemies is obviously headed towards producing a nuclear bomb. Combined with the missiles that they have amassed…and once they get that bomb, they can destroy a tiny nation of ten million and a lot more.

Feckless and misguided “Neville Chamberlains” ignored and enabled them for decades allowing this nuclear ambition to keep rolling. Sooner or later, these mystics will get their bomb and a reckoning will ultimately occur.

WW1 was spawned in Eastern Europe. A European war. The US had to cross the ocean and tip the balance to stop an evil empire from engulfing Europe.

WW2 was spawned in Europe. After a period of assuaging the T3R, the US had to cross an ocean and tip the balance to avoid an evil empire from engulfing Europe.

SIDENOTE: The Germans lost the war at Stalingrad.

What Trump likely sees…
He has a two year window to degrade and possibly demolish the Iranian theocracy before the mid-terms. He jumped on it. If he wins a good outcome, the entire region is spared a future imperiled by freaks who think that God wants people like me and you dead.

If nothing is done, after 50 years of "chump diplomacy"…it will bleed on, and the reckoning may come involving nuclear explosions.

What I see is a duality:
If Trump gets a good result quickly, it’s a win. Venezuela was a win.
If it drags out and American soldiers start dying in numbers, it’s a loss for him.

Conclusion
People such as me are very tired of crossing the ocean and fighting and cleaning up foreigner’s wars. We are tired of the expense, the body bag’s and the annoyance.

Trump is trying to get ahead of a nuclear Theocracy who may think that they will be rewarded in heaven for a nuclear holy war. And then there is China and Russia.

What is worse is that these foreigners (Europeans et al) think that it is our obligation to pay for their wars and squeal like pigs being pulled away from a trough, when Trump demands they start paying.

And then there are foreign citizens like you Rob, who can’t connect any of the dots that really matter because they are blinded to optimal realities and outcomes by personal biases and TDS.

It remains to be seen how fast Trump gets this done.
The promptness will determine if it is a win or a loss for Trump.

And BTW, I wasnt going to offer any more opinions here, but it is the only place that I can ever do it frankly. You and the residual, remaining disfunks have destroyed this site for anything but arguing over Trump and other non-related matters…so, I see no reason not to join in when the mood hits me?

I am now living in a area where there are lots of live outlets for my songwriting.
The nice thing about live songwriter circles is that I can up on pick physical and presentational cues to determine if someone is a nut-wad to be avoided.

SIDENOTE: This is the 2nd time that I have left this site and the 2nd time that the site has gone dead immediately afterwards. I wonder if there is a connection. Last time Brian contacted me to return.
