Trump
of the Will
Long, long ago our forefathers
decided that it would be quite handy to begin marking
the
passage
of time so they decided that the year
of the fabled birth of Christ would be an awesome
place to start, thus our current use of
BCE
(Before
Common
Era)
and
AD (Anno Domini). We're now in year 2016 and that number,
though arbitrary, works just fine as
long as you don't get into an argument with the Chinese
or the Jews. However, I think it's time we consider
a new designation:
AC, or "After Comey".
James Comey, the worst FBI director since J. Edgar,
has, through his catastrophic mishandling of the Clinton
emails, probably doomed the world to an inevitable
global, possibly nuclear conflict. Trump, as president,
will go to war against Iran. He will also re-invade
Iraq and take their oil, which is mostly being sold
to and China.
Yes, that's why Trump's being antagonistic towards
China. They're getting all that yummy oil which Russia
thinks they deserve and to whom Trump will be all
too happy
to serve it to them on a silver platter.
So war in the Middle East, increasing tensions with
China, nukes everywhere, and who knows which other
country Trump will clumsily insult.
Welcome to Zero AC.

You may be asking yourself "Why would
Putin have such interest in putting a tiny-fingered
puppet like Trump in
the White House?"
As in most everything in contemporary conflict the
answer is "oil".
You see, Putin's economy is based on oil and ever since
the barrel price dropped into the thirties the ruble
has
collapsed. Russia needs high oil prices. Badly.
The price drop was no accident. Mr. Obama was fighting,
and winning, a quiet economic war against Russia by
allowing fracking to have free reign in this country.
It increased the crude supply dramatically and drove
oil prices down,
which meant cheap gas, which left more money in the
pockets of consumers, which helped drive the economy
over the
past eight years. It also socked it to Putin.
Yes, it meant more greenhouse gases
but that was neatly offset by the Cash For Clunkers
program which resulted in increased gas mileage across
the board.
This is why Trump is against climate change science
or renewable energy. His oil masters want fossil fuels
to be the de facto energy source again. And they want
to charge a lot more for it. Glut or no glut.
