…. I figure if we deported everyone that doesn’t belong here back to their squalor

… did away with welfare for the undeserving

… went ahead and converted our refineries to process what we produce here by fracking

… it might be enough

… if not … there’s plenty in Venezuela

…. Then in the meantime build up force capable of conquering the entire Middle East … just in case that wasn’t enough

… I figure we’d give Canada a pass because they’re so nice lol

… time to get imperialistic in my opinion

1. whatever gets diesel fuel down would be good with me.
2. Old lady is from canada so stay friendly with them
3. Dont spend money blowing up anything youre gonna build back for them unless we take a stake in the proceeds
4. The ones making these decisions are doing so more for their bank accounts and that will be hard to change
5. No welfare. Hunger is a motivator

You do know the definition of insanity dont you?
Doing the same thing over and over again and failing every time.

…. I could ride up there and single handedly take ya’lls oil sands

… I’ve worked up in Canadia before…. The men were softer than the women… so don’t push your luck

…. Yep …. That just happened

I can't even find a guy to drag brush, you think we have enough young men to actually put boots all over the middle east?

… obviously we’d have to get back to our roots …. It still exists in people … they’ve just been told they’re no better than the lowest common denominator

…. My kids are aggressive and successful…. Because I taught them to be … it was there in them …. They could have easily turned out weak and self loathing…. I just taught them different

… of course it would take a a little time to convert the masses boss

… but the potential is in a lot of them

…. Just time for a reset is all

. Dont spend money blowing up anything youre gonna build back for them unless we take a stake in the proceeds


Exactly!!,..witnessed so many times,..the average tax -payer seems so befuddled ,..we have over the years , blow them up and then build them up ,..all the while the tax-payer questions what are we doing here?

If we could get a definate finale soulution ,..albeit controversional ,..we could at least assume there is progress being made ?

We had the chance in 1945 but we passed....
Eighty years earlier started the downfall....

… well that is just to make regimes in the Middle East cooperate with another regime in the Middle East

…. Wish we’d put that much effort here at home

…. A lot of cleaning up to do around here from what I see

Could of also just not supported the communist taking half of Europe during WWII and this mess likely wouldn't exist.

^^^^ entirely too based for Trapperman

… you ought to be ashamed of yourself young man

Whos sides? Were taken Canada or Mexico first?

…. In my mind…. We’ll just flip a coin…. Like in the movie Friday Night Lights

…. That would at least give us a starting point

Mexico is obviously tails.

During WW11 there were as many as 16 million in the military. As late as the early 1980s we had 4 million active and reserve. Today with active and reserve we have just slightly less then 2 million. The main reason the military spends a lot on research and tech is that it is a lot cheaper than having a huge number in the military. We would not be able to afford an additional million or so unless we want to accelerate our debt even faster, eliminate most of the rest of the budget or raise taxes. The last 26 years we have chosen the accelerate debt mode. I don't see that changing real soon.

The majority of that 16 million were in support roles. Cooks, mechanics, clerks, hospital personnel, truck drivers etc.

That is a bad problem.

I thought we were talking imperialisms. An A bomb on London, Paris, Moscow, Beijing, Mexico City, Montreal, etc. and we would have been rulers of the entire world. An imperialist's dream.
Maybe y'all millennials define imperial different, like y'all do men and women....

We've got a lot of prisons and jails that could be "emptied" ? . . . they're tough guys, right?

Apparently it didn't appeal to my grandfather's generation to rule the rubble.

If your grandpa's generation would have been ruled by the Kidd, we would be the United States of the World...

Getting rid of the multiple term politicians and liberal ideaology would solve most of the problems in my opinion.

X2!

Just have to shoot a few of you and your entire army gets pulled out by the politicians,lol.

Unfortunately you are probably correct boco. And the enemy knows this.

America,,, North American,central American,,,, and South American has all the o/g we need,,, over here

There’s no need to secure safe passage for vessels that deliver products to enemies of the US,,,, namely China, but there’s others,,, some are friends aswell,,,

What we are witnessing is a battle to keep the usd as the world reserve currency

USD is backed by 11 nuclear powered aircraft carrier strike groups,,, makeing it the dominant force in the world

That dominance must remain to keep USD as the world reserve currency

And its currently in question,,

How it ends remains to be seen,,,,


Myself, I would like to see USD remain the WRC for as long as possible

But at some point in time,,,, it won’t be

SPJ hit nail on head.
All about the petrodollar.
They should go back to made beaver as the reserve currency.
Probably will after the world nuclear conflagration.

… as much as I like you Boco

… if it comes down to it

…. I’ll ride up there with a sawed down piece of 2 3/8 L80 tubing and beat the oil out of ya’ll myself

… you understand me ?

You dont need our oil you got enough hot air in ya to cover the energy needs of your country for a couple decades,

lol

Passed a Shell station today in NC. The posted price for Diesel was $1.40 per gallon higher than regular unleaded.

E85 is about $.60/gal cheaper. My Explorer is equipped to handle E85, but I am reluctant to try it. My Explorer is 10 years old. I wonder where the break-even point is between E10 and E85.

WW 11?!
I musta Rip Van Winkled during the time between WW 3 through WW 11...

I read somewhere the type of gas we run out of first is diesel fuel.

EVERYTHING runs on diesel. Farm equipment, railroads, trains, ships. If you want to be able to buy anything we need diesel.

"Seven Months After Maduro's Fall, Big Oil Still Won't Commit To Venezuela
By ZeroHedge - Aug 03, 2026, 10:00 AM CDT
Seven months after Maduro's removal, Exxon and Chevron still haven't signed major new investment deals in Venezuela.
Venezuela's oil output has climbed to 1.07 million barrels per day, up from 937,000 last year, but remains far below its late-1990s peak.
With majors staying cautious, the Trump administration is leaning on smaller independent producers to move faster and supply capital."

Dirt maybe Venzuela won't turn over the reins to Exron If I remember right Russia would not either maybe 80's and now our many mideast wars brought on by oil "crisis" IMHO big oil while shutting down refineries and little interest in drilling unless the right situations occur buy up oil on the world market thereby controlling the price or does the fact we fight with oil rich countries just a coincidence

More government equals less energy for everyone

https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/bye-bye-bp/

The oil companies probably think if there is a change in our administration the Dems will re-instate Maduro.

pretty sure it would end the Donroe Doctrine.

These beaver I catch…new $40 bill…

Undervalued!

4.19 per gallon in the Black Hills

…. Yeah so we conquer them and send back all their refugees that are over here and make them extract it for us

… give em a couple fish tacos a day and a six pack of cerveza for their efforts … be cheaper than what we’re doing with em now

… oh …. And we could send these brainwashed self hating liberals to cook and serve the tacos to them …how’s that for thinking outside the box boys lol

Just paid 3.59 in central Nebraska
