Bear Valley Snow Update: 6” Overnight, More Falling Today! added by admin on

Pretty obvious by their language what the Trump regime has in mind.
Per the Monroe Doctorine, Trump, little Marco, FAFO Pete are intent on bombing the fuck out of any country that stands in our way within the Western Hemisphere.
Russia can have Eastern Euro continent.
Chaina can have Asia.
We get the Western Hemisphere.
That’s all well and good until Russia, china, or a team consisting of those two, set their eyes on the good ol’ U, S, of A. Then, as we stand alone, wtf do we do???????????
Now, USSR will take Ukraine, then what’s next Poland??
China will invade, undeterred by us, Taiwan. Then what’s next?
Meanwhile us, with weakened international partnerships gone, will stand alone. Our country dependent on China for goods, controlled by a class of billionaires who have one goal in mind.
Whats that leave for the rest of us?????
Bing Pow, that’s what………………………..
