Not a Fan of War

You notice how quickly the shooting in the Middle East stopped after Trump took his second oath. Do you suppose the one thing had something to do with the other? Me thinks it does. I also think it has something to do with Trump’s dislike for war. It does give me the suspicion that the Democrats love war. More accurately, they like the money they make during wars. I am sure Old Joe and his friends were able to pocket a million or two from each of the recent conflicts.

I noticed the other day that Trump sent a couple of bunker buster bombs to Israel. Oddly, it was a public story. No effort was made to conceal it. I even have a suspicion or two that he wanted the whole world to know about it. When I heard about it, I immediately realized the genius of it. It was his way of making it known to Iran that it might be a good time to cease their efforts on building a bomb. You see, he does not need to convince Iran that he is willing to use the bombs. He has sent them the signal the decision is made. In effect, when he gave the bombs to Israel, he has already given them permission to use them…and he has no need to tell them where.

By using the above method, he may have prevented a nuclear confrontation. As I said, I suspect Trump does not like war either. Moreover, he has no need for a war to make money. He already has more than Old Joe could hope for. In addition, he did not use subterfuge and dishonesty to get it. He got it the old-fashioned way. He earned it.

On the other hand, Old Joe always received his paycheck from the government. Not that there is anything wrong with working for Uncle Sam, as long as it’s honest. When it causes death and war, it’s much worse.

I’m not exactly a peacenik, but Old Joe and his crew don’t exactly strike me as the diplomatic types either. Looks like they’ve got a bit of a warmonger streak in them, huh? At least they’re keeping the military-industrial complex well-fed, I guess.

Stopping the Wars

President Trump has a way of stopping the wars almost instantly. By this I mean all wars in the Middle east and the one between Russia and Ukraine.

It can be stopped in days, maybe hours with one question, “How would you like 30, maybe 25 dollar a barrel oil?”

Trump and the US oil industry can do that, you know. It would instantly make it impractical to drill for oil in the Mid-east, Iran, and especially Russia. They can’t make a profit on the oil unless it is at least 60 or 70 dollars a barrel. We can. At 20 dollars a barrel, Russia would soon go broke. Iran would shut down their oil fields. Even Saudi Arabia would have trouble making money at that price. On the other hand, we have the equipment and the knowhow to make a good profit at 20 dollars a barrel.

If the Russia can’t make money from oil, they can’t afford to buy weapons and pay soldiers. Without weapons they can’t wage war.

The price of fuel would drop. The price of airline tickets would drop quickly. Food, including milk, eggs and meat would drop.

And the most important thing, all the wars would quickly cease, at least for a while. It won’t take long for someone else decide to start a war somewhere. It was told to us by Jesus. Let’s face it, Satan loves war and he loves death. Those who love war and death are keeping company with the wrong side.
