    World War 1 and the global rise of fascism started World War 2. A mentally ill man at the helm in Germany didn’t help. Granted, I don’t think our mentally ill (Cluster B personality disorder) man has ever cracked a history text. He probably doesn’t even know of the existence of the Treaty of Versailles.

    That said, my armchair amateur read is this is all about the chips. Billionaire backing: for the chips. Elon space: for the chips. Canada and Greenland threats: for the chips, playing the odds re what’s under the ice. Ukraine slam: for the chips, and, sure, Daddy Putin.

    Chips chips chips. The game moving forward is chips.

    Now I’m craving Salt & Vinegar.

      No, I think he’s actually drinking his own kool-aid.

      This is what worries me. Historically, most dictators have information space problems but are at least self-aware.

      …Trump is not. He makes irrational, self destructive moves like he actually believes this stuff.
