At least I like Trump for one thing - What other Western head of states has been doing covertly for decades, Trump took the mask off and is just doing it in full spectacle of the world. Openly saying "We are Americans, we are great and the most powerful nation in the world because we pillage and steal from the rest of the world. If you have what we need, we are coming to take it and there's nothing you can do about it" Trump - The Pirate of the Caribbean. The Pirate of the world more like.
Begin to cry well well. The tiny but dey steal from una you ever did anything? Una go leave una matter dey attack presidents were dey fight for the good of their country while your own president is busy with reelection, it doesn't matter to him if Nigerians are kill as long as he gets it.

Any news to favour America.

We all know if anything attack Russia they always respond. If this is true, they will respond.

He is npt causing a war. He knows the shadow oil trade going on between China, Russia and Venezuela where China is ezploting the sanctions on Russia amd Venezuela to get cheap crude and encouraging them to circumvent sanctions.
Trump is actually putting America first, tell your leaders in Nigeria to also show Nigeria first
Rubbish.

Why shouldn't Venezuela sell oil?

Because America says so?

Since Trump is thinking America first, why can't he attack China?

Of course, that’s exactly what he is, by virtue of his office. Any American president will brand a head of state who stands in the way of U.S. interests as a dictator, terrorist, communist etc.. Yet the opposite is equally true: if a leader serves America’s strategic goals, their crimes are conveniently forgotten. Take Syrian President Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, for example. A man who once beheaded people and posed with their severed heads is now suited up, meeting with world leaders in Washington, Brussels etc.
That syrian guy is no longer a terrorist since he aligns with US interests. cheesy cheesy

He doesn't need to attack China. Even China doesn't want to risk a direct confrontation with the US. It is not in each other's interest to have a direct war with each other, so the US is playing a strategic move by cutting off supplies of cheap oil to China it forces them to the negotiation table.

But it's in America's interest to attack Venezuela.

Sounds like cowardice to me.

China determines the cost of oil.

They have reservoirs holding almost 2 Billion barrels.

They purchase when the price is low, and limit when above their threshold.

Nothing US would do can sniffle their growth.

Good to hear all this. Let's see what Russia will do. Our brothers from the East have been hyping Russia which couldn't defeat ordinary Ukraine in 3 years of war. Let Putin put body and collect massively grin cheesy. America no be their papa's mate o
Your comment shows that you may not be psychologically sound.
Why did you bring in Eastern people into this? You want the attention to shift from abroad to East, here in Nigeria? Are you sure you're spiritually okay?

Even the US will do nothing if Russia seizes their ship.
They couldn't track and rescue their own ship on time, how on earth can they met up and seize a fleeing american and better evasive ship?

Seizing a ship is very easy. Even pirates do it before talking of a whole nation with access to more finance, logistics and technology.

Russia tried to, but failed woefully. This isn't the first time.
Also on two occasions they cudnt rescue their own troubled submarines. What does that make them?

Google the things I tell you.

I read Russia seized I think 11 US ships strategically to return the favour and stop the US piracy.

How Americans open eyes vote someone who’s power drunk and doesn’t have what it takes to handle power is beyond imaginations

With what he did during his first term loss that led to invasion of capitol, and they still open their eyes to let him rule…

He is a selfish insecure psychopath
The same way you carry leg take stand for person mandate sir that's how

One thing about Trump is that he always telegraphs his plans and his apprehension.


He's scared of the mid-terms.

He could lose the House and Senate.
Never to the point where he will get 2 thirss of the Senate voting against him. Never
