Subject: Re: A Complete Strategic Defeat
As I have said before: buying Rodriguez, snatching Maduro, motivating the President of Panama to evict Hutchison from the ports near the Canal, then launching a sneak attack on Iran, did not all happen, in the space of two months, by accident. Someone was playing 17D chess, even if Trump is only the corrupt front man that the interests threw money at, to make it all happen.

Could be. But if you're not looking at Putin you're not seeing the whole picture. Putin is Trump's puppet master. I could believe Putin engineered it all, to raise Russia's energy income, collapse NATO, and advance his ambition to take Urkaine and ultimately dominate Europe. Venezuela is Putin's small trade with Trump to make it happen. Trump is the guy at the poker table who doesn't know who the sucker is.
