Soviet Union Delusions

The difference between the Tucker Qatarlson wing of the MAGA movement and Donald Trump's view of the world, are very far apart from each other on many issues, but nowhere is the gap between the Delusional Isolationists (Rogan, Bannon, Tucker and others) and the core MAGA thought-leaders in the Trump camp more evident, than in foreign policy.

The isolationists' foreign policy is that America would stay out of other countries' issues, because every time they do, it fails or backfires. It is too LOW-IQ to even acknowledge and address this superficial claim, because it assumes so many falsehoods to count.

The disconnect that the isolationists can't really compute is the impact that global events have on the way of life of Americans because during their own lifetime, they have never had to face any crisis that shook their belief system. To them, all they've seen is FAILED FOREVER WARS, so they have developed the following ideology: If the U.S. just keeps to itself, things would be better-off for the world and for Americans.

Put simply: It is awfully tempting and luring to think that if the U.S. just keeps to itself, all other countries would do the same and nothing will ever spill over to the U.S., since it wouldn't be provoking anyone.

This OCEAN of Ignorance and GRAND CANYON of gap between Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson, was on full display twice already and I must be clear: BOTH want to achieve the same thing --- betterment for America, but only one of them understands what it takes and he is the Commander-in-Chief. Both are patriotic, but Trump is a genius, while Tucker is far from it. He may be popular like Rogan, but give him one day in the shoes of Donald Trump and he'll understand his black-and-white is nice for podcasts, but not for dealing with the lifes of billions of souls.

Trump reportedly called Tucker before Operation Midnight Hammer, the flawless military mission that ended the Iranian nuclear aspirations and sent a signal the world over that any country that seeks the destruction of another, cannot possess an atomic bomb and he asked Tucker what he thought Washington should do: the answer SHOCKED DJT, because Tucker said it was okay with him that they gain a nuclear weapon, to which Trump replied: "Then you and I HAVE a DIFFERENCE."

DJT: "I did ask Tucker, I said, 'Well, are you OK with nuclear weapons being in the hands of Iran?'" Trump told reporters. "And he sort of didn't like that. And I said, 'Well, if it's OK with you, then you and I do have a difference.'"

At the heart of it is Tucker's and his supporters' genuine concern that any time the U.S. uses its military on battle zones that are not on their own border, but on far-away lands (Korea, Vietnam, Iraq/Afghanistan), then it ends up badly.

Tucker is RIGHT - it does end badly, but his response to the problem, is what's wrong.

What Trump is attempting to bridge and mediate for the isolationists in his camp is that the answer to their concerns cannot be that because the military was sent to do INSANE THINGS in the past 80 years, that the strategy from here on should be to STAY OUT of the business of solving conflicts, when America can help its allies and gain much from peace.

If I was to explain this in a sports analogy, it would be like telling Michael Jordan after he had won the 1991-1993 championships, retired and came back, only to lose to the Orlando Magic in the 1995 playoffs that he should probably not come back to the 1996 season, because he played badly and cost them the championship.

What did Jordan do in the off-season? He studied and improved his game and won the 1996-1998 championships as well. Trump wants to win, while Tucker just doesn't want to lose, so he doesn't want to play. Three championships are enough for him and he just doesn't fully grasp that unlike in sports, when a new power arises, where the U.S. once dominated, then this starts all over again. In geo-politics, you either defend your position, or fight to secure one; there is no vaccum.

That is a defeatist mentality vs. a winner's mindset. One doesn't want to inflict trauma onto himself, while the other strives for greatness and understands that nothing is idle; if America weakens, another country strengthens in its place. Isolationists don't seek greatness; they seek normalcy, and what they'll get is neither. America's wealth is built upon its ability to lead, not to take a step back, but the isolationists' real cry should be that in order to lead America to greatness, the people must scrutinize the candidates better, because America has had incopetent ones!

Trump wants greatness for EVERYBODY, therefore he and Putin now clearly don't see greatness as being the same thing, because Putin believes Russia can only achieve its goals by expanding the borders to the defendable mountain peaks that are difficult to invade. In other words, Trump looks at Russia and says 'oh man, if I were at the Kremlin, I would do so many things differently,' while Putin is not interested in new visions of greatness, but in the one that he has been identifying with for the past two decades.

Trump sees a path for Russia that Putin cannot. They're very distant now, with Trump looking to integrate Russia into a position of real power, while Putin cannot shake off his mistrust that the moment he lets his country's guard down, the armies around him will invade, like Napoleon, Hitler, the Tatars, the Polish, the Swedes and so on.

I still don't see how this disconnect in doctrines gets resolved soon and, therefore, I believe Russia will continue to fight and it won't change course, UNLESS AND UNTIL, more European leaders are brave enough to engage Putin publicly in dialogues.

Georgia Maloney, please step up to the plate! Trump can't do everything! Championships are won by those that play the game and the entire world is waiting on leaders that are practical!
