While everyone was screaming “chaos” and “no plan,” [Trump's] team quietly flipped Indonesia, the fourth-largest country on Earth and guardian of ...

[drudge X]

It doesn’t. This is all fake news.

Are you stupid? The deal gave US more leeway to use Indonesia’s airspace which extends the surveillance over Malacca.

Obama only talked about US shifting toward East Asia whereas Trump his making it happen.

 

[Godboy]

Yes, that is what they want you to believe.....

Its the truth.

 

[PeterPilot]

Its the truth.

Sure Godboy, just like DJT is America First is the truth....

You joined the board like 2 weeks ago, so how would you know what I’ve been right or wrong about?

Because he's alwaysrite? We long time members know you're always wrong or on the wrong side.

Or it is a longtime poster changed the handle to rejuvinate its' postings?

 

[progressive hunter]

And naturally the MSM failed to take note.

This is what I voted for.

Let’s drop one more puzzle piece onto the board, and this one could be biggest one of all. It could tie the whole picture together. Yesterday, Al Jazeera reported, “Indonesia, US sign ‘major’ defence cooperation agreement.” It was especially weird timing, considering that Indonesia controls another oil-shipping passage critical to China: the Strait of Malacca.​

​

Corporate media was largely silent about the deal, even though it cannot possibly be coincidental that the U.S. is now making moves around the world’s second critical oil chokepoint in the same 30-day period. Trump’s team is walking, chewing gum, and taking names.​

​

Indonesia is the world’s fourth-largest country by population, and its largest majority-Muslim country. For the last twenty years, analysts and officials have repeatedly highlighted the Strait of Malacca as a critical vulnerability for China, even coining the label “China’s Malacca dilemma.” It’s so well known that there’s a whole Wikipedia entry about it.​

​

The dilemma is “a strategic vulnerability for China” because the strait handles a quarter of global trade and funnels roughly 80% of China’s crude oil imports through a long, skinny channel you could almost see across. It gives “deep throat” a whole new meaning.​

​

China needs oil to survive. Unlike the US, the PRC imports over half of its annual oil demand. Wikipedia confirmed, “the Strait of Malacca is one of the most strategically important maritime chokepoints globally.” Even more so than the much-ballyhooed Strait of Hormuz. After blocking Hormuz, America is now stretching its hands toward Malacca’s neck. So you’d think this contemporaneous development would make bigger news.​

​

It’s not merely a minor second-world development. Yesterday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth personally hosted Indonesia’s defense minister at the Pentagon, and even tweeted about it.​

Hatred is not in play. From my Army training, I see Israel as the enemy of the United States. I was taught to avoid emotions like hatred, and try to stay rational. Israel is the enemy of the United States for many reasons. Those who give aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States are guilty of treason. No emotion, just rational fact-based analysis.

Army? Which one?

What training specifically 'taught' you to see Israel as an enemy of the US? List the other countries you see as enemies of the US.

What 'many' reasons is Israel and enemy of the US?

You have provided nothing to show anything you say is based on 'rational fact-based' analysis, perhaps you need to elaborate more.

No, the Army taught me to have a rational approach to things, not an emotional approach. Stay cool, calm and collected, and analyze all the facts. No need for emotions like hatred.

Here are just a few of the facts that make Israel the enemy of the US. For many long decades they have bribed and blackmailed our elected representatives to pass laws that are repugnant to the US Constitution. Many examples if you're interested. They were instrumental in having JFK assassinated for a number of reasons. The Zionists have been assassins for their entire existence, and Americans are not the only ones they have assassinated. It is a pattern of behavior. Some can see such patterns, others cannot.

In 1967 they attacked the USS Liberty. In 2001 they planned and executed the attacks at WTC. They are the enemy, and the founding document says that those who give aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States are guilty of treason.

Take a guess oh brilliant one...

Could be any from an arab country, but not the US Army.

Wow, sorry to hear that. Condolences to you.
I had some nice conversations with blisterfinger here about guitar stuff. RIP

He was a great man. Thank you

Trump has lost everything utterly and completely. The only “domestic enemy” to the USA is Donald Trump and his criminal gang.

You sound like you suffer from an extreme butt hurt. Is it difficult for you to sit?

I find that people who call themselves “always rite” are generally always wrong and you’re no exception.

No butt hurt whatsoever. Carney is doing brilliantly and has a majority government now, meaning he can stay in office until 2029.

Trump will be lucky is stay in office until the midterms at the rate he’s deteriorating. The entire world thinks he’s gone mad. No one trusts or believes him except you Culters.

Every day, in every way, you prove how very WRONG you are about everything.

Except Trump has shown that he owns Carney. Why would anybody want to live in second-rate Canada anyway now?

How much is Indonesia paying us?
