I’m old enough to suspect that a lot of “ESP” is just well informed experience and cynicism. Therefore I make no claim to paranormal insight when I recount that the day I saw this unknown black guy named “Barack Obama” tapped to make the all-important nomination speech at Bill Clinton’s presidential convention, I immediately knew this guy was being groomed for a future candidacy. He was so obviously a post turtle, in that it was clear he didn’t achieve that high position all by himself.
Where would he get all this money from? What programs are being looting from to gather this money to give to people that have never earned it and deserve it?
Remember the “air shows” put on by President Trump in Syria were designed to show that we could put a Tomahawk next to everyone’s toilet paper holder without going nuclear. Syria and the Ukraine make it clear that we are “watching”. Thus far, it has been Russian field grade officers that have been targeted. The theater at the Kersch Bridge involved minor damage but may give ex-KGB Major Putin an excuse to withdraw. It certainly provided an excuse to use missiles against civilian infrastructure.
With any luck, it will be part of the grande finale.
That would remove the excuse for sending cash to the Ukraine and to the “Big Guy”. Maybe the Europeans will pick up the slack. The Ukraine does have lots of fuel reserves to keep Europe warm, well fed, and productive. This Winter is going to be tough in Europe. President Trump did warn them…….
There is plenty of natural gas under the feet of Europeans. They just need to get fracking. Only the UK’s PM Truss is allowing an expansion of their small fracking sites and more North Sea Drilling.
3. There’s a meeting of NATO defense ministers going on, with the top topic of Ukraine being invited to be a member. One of the odd plus-ups mentioned….is that Ukraine might be the most capable member other than the US….if they were allowed to join, against Russia.
It’s adorable that some of you guys are still talking about paper and ink. These days, some desk monkey hits a macro key and, viola! another billion dollars magically pops into existence. Once you understand that Ukraine spending wasn’t billions of taxpayer dollars, but forty keystrokes, it’s a lot less oppressive to think about. Now the trick is to be dead (along with all descendants) before the can reaches the end of the road.
tl;dr: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the quantitative easing.

The graft must flow.
And probably has a way more than 10% “service” fee.
Am I the only one who thinks Obama wasn’t/isn’t any brighter than Dementia Joe, but was just another cutout with a puppeteer’s fist up his ass?

Grooming. It’s not just for pedophiles anymore……
That wasn’t a hand.

The Bureau of Engraving has LOTS of ink!

It is still a game.

Then it would be the time to tell the “Big Guy” “At some point, you’ve made enough money.”
Speak of providing Russia an excuse:

I’d put Poland there too. FFL If you can bring them in sans French leadership above captain.
$30 Billion here … $30 Billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking about real money.
