*Do I trust the impossibility of violating the Constitution because the
Constitution says don't violate the Constitution? No I most certainly do
not! Do you actually believe that if we just send a piece of paper with the
right words printed on it to every country in the world we would have
instant democracy and world peace?? *

*Spike, I know you're trying very hard but you're never going to make me a
fan of those neo-Nazi militia loonies who, not only didn't try to stop the
greatest threat to the Constitution since the Civil War, they were on the
wrong side and were actively attempting to destroy it.  And if it hadn't
been for the actions of the Vice President on January 6, 2021 when he
refused to become a traitor the destruction would've been successful. And
that's why your protestations of love for the US Constitution have failed
to move me.*

*The current POTUS tried like hell to do exactly that! it didn't happen
thanks to the vice president, but he made sure that will never happen
again, this time the Vice Poodle will obediently do anything POTUS wants.  *

*Let's hope POTUS does not find out that you wrote that because US Senator
and former space shuttle pilot Mark Kelly said the same thing and
POTUS threatened to execute him for making a traitorous comment: *

*Yeah our troubles are over and all is right with the world, if you don't
count thousands of needless deaths, and a worldwide economic disruption.
The economic calamity won't be over until the Strait of Hormuz is reopened,
20% of the world's oil passes through that strait and it takes very little
to close it down because it's only 21 miles wide and it's very shallow, so
only a 10 mile wide strip of it are barely deep enough for oil
supertankers. Those oil supertankers are huge, slow, very flammable and
have no defensive weapons at all, an Iranian drone costing about $10,000
could destroy a $150 million supertanker and it's $200 million oil cargo,
and the sunken ship would block about half of that 10 mile wide channel. *

*And the crew of those tankers are not soldiers, they aren't getting paid
to risk their lives in an unnecessary war, they do not receive combat pay.
Oh and insurance costs which are already astronomically high, thanks to He
Who Must Not Be Named decision to go to war, would go up even more,
discouraging anybody trying to run that blockade again.  *
