       ThreadThis is a video from 2013, the year that Obama got involved in the Syrian Civil War.He said that all we did we train and arm, but it APPEARS that there's a professional soldier there who doesn't speak Arabic.These are totally untrained Syrian rebels.No gore.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FZ0lxKYKY8

       But everybody else is a clown.One guy is doing the Sideways Bunny Hop as he fires.

       The guy who doesn't speak Arabic is very light skinned, and nobody pays attention to him as he gestures for them to stop firing.

       Obama had TWO COMPETING programs for training rebels.One was run by the Pentagon, and one was run by the CIA.My guess is the hapless professional is an American CIA paramilitary, sent into battle without speaking the language of the locals.From what I can tell, the US government has been incompetent since the end of World War II.Nobody has done a study on how that conflict traumatized the human race.

       American decline is due entirely to orthodoxy and rigidity of thought.It infects everything: politics, law enforcement, the judiciary, industry, banking, farming, entertainment, education, individual growth...People want simple formulas for success.The reality is that FORMULAS ALWAYS FAIL UNLESS YOU LEAVE ROOM FOR DEVIATION.Trump uses formulas that allow him to improvise.Sun Tzu is actually just a FRAMEWORK.

       Trump's successes are based on using the frameworks of The Art of War and The Thirty-Six Stratagems.Within those frameworks, Trump improvises like mad.Last night I discovered an artist I didn't know.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxRB4sdbIcw

       I agree that art doesn't have to MEAN anything.That itself is a meaning.The imagery doesn't disturb me. Without dark, there can be no light.The Trump years have separated the wheat from the chaff. Those who don't get Trump will be left behind.I can't get over how DUMB Obama was when it came to the Syrian civil war. He was torn between his devotion to the Iranian mullahs and the influence of Samantha Power.

       So in the end, Obama simply made everything worse.The reason I admire Trump and the Saudis and Emiratis so much is that they deceive by HIDING their capabilities. Obama tried to show of, and he experienced pratfall after pratfall.Trump is PRETENDING to take pratfalls.His enemies laugh, and then Trump wins.Forever.END

       @ThomasWic That was fascinating. Even artists have their blind spots I think. Art puts something, expresses something of you whether you know it, whether you can or cannot see or acknowledge it. Whether it's photography, painting,  music,  sculpture, writing, dancing, or acting some part of you enters it.

       @ThomasWic Unless you're my size, 6-5, 270+THEN, you can effectively play "Rambo" with a LMG in 7.62 caliber.(This is why Animal Mother in Full Metal Jacket is huge compared to the other Soldiers.)

       @ThomasWic I thoroughly enjoyed that video. What a sad ending to his life. I like what he said, Paintings are to be admired or contemplated, admired without asking what it means. If I had something to say I would write it down or say it. Sometimes art is just art, something the artist sees in his mind and nothing more. He certainly had a wide range of talent.

       @ThomasWic Oops I goofed, my "Inferno" book is by another weird artist named Robert Barlow.  I think I have a book by Beczkinski as well.

       @ThomasWic Trump knows the art of war.Obama had the nasty habit of WARNING the enemy in advance!  Ask yourself why he would do that.

       @ThomasWic I had to look up pratfalls meaning 😀 I am beginning to think I had the worst college professors in history! Thomas is one of my favorite teachers. If I could get back some of the thousands I spent on college, I would send it to you. 💥

       @ThomasWic Thank you for all of your threads and videos explaining Trump, using military and foreign alliances as example and contrast both on Quodverum and where I found you on twitter.All my family is military. My grandfathers served in the Kennedy administration. My Dad fought in combat in Vietnam. I did not understand the richness of my own history until you explained it in present day terms. I read your posts voraciously.I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do.

       @prchrskd @ThomasWic that is why it was so hard for me to sell any of my paintings. It’s too personal.

       @Ballerina I can relate well to your comment. Paint all of my oils from treasured photos from my and my family's wanderings. This Everglades Blue Heron was painted from a shot taken from my kayak way in the outback of the Florida park, when I was on a weeklong camping trip with my son's Daddy, a year before we were married.  Loved the light play and glowing - it was a God moment. Was offered $800 for it at an art show. No go - family heritage piece now. Son agrees.  @prchrskd @ThomasWic

       @barrsniffsatjejuneanalysis @prchrskd @ThomasWic it’s beautiful. My first and only commission came from a customer (when I was a bartender) who knew I painted. He commissioned me to paint him “something”. I painted “something” but had no idea what to ask for it as it was priceless to me. So I threw out a price of $250. Without batting an eye, and much to my dismay, he paid. Many years went by and I periodically thought about that painting. I ran into him and asked if I could buy it back. He...
