He is simply and clearly steering towards WW3.

He needs oil to power the army, Venezuela provides him with the resources. He has just increased the military budget by 50% to 1.5 trillion dollars. You don't need 1.5 trillion dollars for defence. He renamed the department of defense to department of War. It's always right in front of your nose with this guy, but everyone refuses to believe someone can be such a retard.

This is not a "Trump problem".

He's the scapegoat, he's the public stumbling goofy sun-downing mook.

If Trump dies tomorrow, the machine will keep running.

It's always been the Department of War, regardless of the name.

Except Trump obviously brings the numbers. Unless there are literally no more elections ever again, how would they get votes?

But...we don't even really need oil!

The Venezuelan oil is sour garbage that we don't have the industrial resources to process in a meaningful way. There might be shit tons of it, but as it stands we can't do very much with it.

Well he's strategically planning for a war. It's only slightly mired by the fact that he's a brainless moron.

He probably thinks you can just pump oil out of the ground and directly into a vehicles fuel tank. Look at that aircraft that Saudi Arabia is giving him, he's so goddamn pleased with it even though it's a piece of junk because he thinks that the thing is the goal, in and of itself. He has no idea that processes need to happened to make that end goal.

I'd love to watch him play any kind of game that involves strategy and planning because I'm reasonably confident he'd suck at it.

He un-renamed the department of war, it had that name until 1947

He did not un-rename it, he got a DBA. It’s still officially the Department of Defense until Congress changes the name by resolution.
