President s, inclusive of trump. And this shows all the wars that theyve started war, war, war, war, war war. And then you get the trump, and its like, oh, he didnt start any wars. So thats why they had the coup of 2016. And we, historians, i believe bernie quickly will refer to that 2016 attempt by the d. N. C. To usurp and to a legitimate as the Trump Victory 2016 as a coup or attempted coup. I think what were seeing now with what youre describing, the miscommunication or the not the miscommunication, but the but the deliberate time, radical withholding of information would be part and parcel of this rolling coup. And people who study history call was look at the coup in americas coups, in latin america, in other countries. And now, you know, theyve proved themselves in effect, and i dont think the results are going to be pretty, trump unselfish, crossed many rubicons as well, like theres no going back from some of the stuff hes done. So there is not any individual, its like the syst
Right. While theres so much noise out there fanned, its a real challenge to try to find a way to cut through the noise and find the signal. And i think the easiest way to understand the last 456 years of the rise of trump would be in the context of americas empire and wars.

Israel is already said, the red line is the iranians building up their nuclear facilities. And also the fact that Bidens Administration may not go along with annexation of the west bank. So those tensions that may arise, we may, and were already seeing that troops could go back into iraq as well as afghanistan. And already were hearing about reports of rocket attacks now on the u. S. Embassy in iraq. So that portends something very serious.
