I can guess the tweets: "Nasty Merkel, Nasty Germans. They owe us billions for defense..."

His ego will love it. He wants to be feared as much, or more, than he wants to feel people think he's competent.

To funnel the remains of our national wealth to them And to destroy our democracy.

The Russian mobster Shorty Putin was just a tool. All the filthy rich supported or have enabled the traitor and his Slovenian sex worker. From the Koch bros, to the Wal Mart heirs and even the Gates have made a profit off turning the industrial powerhouse of America into a Nation of poorly paid store clerks.

And as our democracy turns into a dictatorship and the earth turns into an uninhabitable lump of rock, the filthy rich will make even more off of the destruction.

A German paper did a poll last week and 41% of the respondents chose Trump as the biggest threat to world peace.

While Putin has been responsible for a great deal of turmoil in Europe and the US, and Kim makes threats of developing nuclear weapons, and Khamenei and Iran are responsible for disruption in the Middle East, and Xi has his hands all over Africa and pushing into South America, the reality is that Trump at the helm of the largest economy with the largest military IS the greatest threat to peace as evidenced by his stupid assassination and his ratcheting up the tension with bluster.

Trump is an idiot, in charge of the most destructive force economically and militarily, in the world.

It's also about impending climate crises that are being exacerbated by his policies and the number of desperate people left in the wake of uninhabitable regions of the world seeking a better life by emigrating. Peace cannot hold if billions of people literally are fighting for their lives.

Arguably as dangerous as trump in the long run. For around forty years, his News Corp. has done immeasurable damage to societies around the globe, inflicted slow death upon millions and installed fascists such as Boris Johnson and Trump to destroy democracy.

Evidence of his destruction is quite visible in Australia this week. He didn't light the fires but pushed governments that provided the right climate, the heat, the fuel, and defunding of measures that could have prevented much death and destruction.

Like the Koch Bros., all done out of sight and out of mind......
