Trump hints he will change Pentagon’s name to Department of War “I don't want to be defense only,” the president said. “We want offense too.”

[Litwin]

Ronald Reagan crushed the Bolshevik empire without firing a shot—his super weapon? Oil. As Michael Reagan said, “He did it without firing a shot… oil.” Now Trump is deploying the same strategy against Putin’s Moscow empire, aiming to drive Urals crude below $30. If successful, the empire may not survive his term.
Back in the 1980s, Saudi Arabia ramped up oil output from 2M to 10M barrels/day, crashing prices from $32 to $10. The Bolshevik empire, dependent on oil revenue, lost $20B in 1986 alone—7.5% of its income. The US allegedly backed Saudi Arabia financially, with 80% of Saudi oil sold via American giants like Exxon and Chevron.
The result? A deep recession. Bolshevik empire debt ballooned from $30B to $50B by 1989. Gorbachev’s reforms failed, crushed by economic collapse and public outrage. The Bolshevik imperial system crumbled.
Today, Brent sits at $62, Urals much lower. Saudi Arabia may push prices to $50. Moscow’s budget breaks below $42.4. Just like Reagan, Trump’s oil play could be the silent trigger for collapse.
Trump’s peace plan? Strategic oil warfare.

what do you think, who is winning ? Despite imperialists ' median income being only 17% that of Americans', they are now paying over $4/gallon even for the cheapest gasoline - more than US national average. Sounds more and more like 1917N2

He didn't need to. It self destructed. The dominos began to fall when the Berlin wall came down and folks in the USSR got a taste of what freedom for themselves might look like. Massive protests ensued.

Trump needs to rename it Department of Minding our Own Business. Too many commitments, bases home and abroad, 3 and 4 Star Generals and too subservient to the MIC Bottom Line

Don’t you think the age of empire is over? Don’t you think so?

Putin is clinging to a vision similar to that of

Nicholas II.
... Russia was plagued by income inequality, stood on the outskirts of the European business cycle, and, most importantly, had tenuous access to foreign currency and little purchasing power once a war that was meant to be swift dragged on and caused the Russian economy to collapse.

Putin has also miscalculated Russia’s economic resilience. He, too, believed that it would be impervious to fallout from an invasion of Ukraine because he thought the war would be a short one. Like Nicholas II, he miscalculated badly.

Putin presides over vast natural resources and an advanced and educated workforce. Yet Russia remains an economic monoculture reliant upon the fossil fuel sector that has brought its oligarchs great wealth while the living standards of average Russians are actually shrinking.

Russia remains heavily dependent on fossil fuel revenue and the world market. As I write, multinational corporations are dumping their holdings in the Russian energy sector, the Moscow stock market has been shuttered, and the Russian economy is cratering in the face of being cut off from access to foreign currency.

With great power comes great responsibility. If America simply sits back and allows dictators free rein, they will eventually threaten America's very existence—just as the Bolshevik imperialists did between 1945 and 1987. The Moscow ulus already demands Alaska "back." ...

So, a Putin soldier in Ukraine is rocking a patch that looks suspiciously like Alaska? Fascinating. Are we annexing U.S. states now, or is this just a fashion statement? Any experts out there who can decode Moscow geopolitical couture?

Back when Congress actually declared wars we were 5-0.

Once we became the Department of "Defense" (1949) we did away with Congress declaring wars we're 0-5

We did win the "Desert Storm" war but sadly lost the peace in the region.

True, true.

Would Congress have voted to attack a country that never attacked us?

Maybe we "lost the peace" because we achieved the real goal of the "war on Terror". Odd timing that the we decided to invade Iraq almost immediately after a German archaeologist claimed to have discovered the Tomb of Gilgamesh

I lived though the fall of hte soviet union.


IF you think that the "dominos BEGAN to fall" when the wall came down, you are utterly ignorant.


EVERYTHING relevant to the fall of the SOviet Union, happened LONG before the wall came down.


Starting with Reagan's support of the polish workers union and the Afghanistan resistance.

Who said that to you? Do you think Moscow imperialists are idiots who don’t read military books? When you're badly outgunned, you always go for the head—just like Alexander the Great, Pizarro, and many others did. Look, the Moscow empire has lost its best 1 million people, and Moscow city is practically a Muslim city already. Don´t you know how Moscow imperialists hate the USA ?

It has nothing to do with the Democrats—this is all about geopolitics. The American radical left, Moscow’s so-called “useful idiots,” have literally castrated the U.S./NATO military’s capabilities. “It’s time to GROW back our big balls ,” says U.S. President Donald Trump. I’m 100% with him on this!
