To be clear I have no issue with his stance on oil. I look forward to the liquid gold making my wallet a little heavier.

My understanding and where I disagreed with him was that he is opposed to nuclear due to supposed dangers. I think he was more concerned about terrorists doing a dirty bomb than a reactor meltdown. Maybe I’m misremembering but I really thought he is very anti nuclear

I think trump got locked in a room with some one pro nuclear because agenda 47 specifically includes nuclear energy as something he wants to promote drill more wells split more atoms

Trump has no opposition to nuclear energy

Oil is the primary energy source for transportation and will remain so for another generation. Policy based on anything but that is retarded

And the key to a booming economy is cheap energy. Doesn't matter what that energy is. I am sure he would love to cut the ribbon on some big new reactors but getting them built is a massive PITA with all the red tape and they take a decade to get built. He has 4 years left
Right now oil brings cheap energy. and lots of well paying jobs for his base. And since the EU is committing industrial suicide right now with their green energy bullshit this is the time to drill baby drill. Make the USA the only western nation where it makes financial sense to run a factory. SUFFA EUROPE

He mentioned on the Joe Rogan interview that his concern was what would happen in the event of a real war where nuclear reactors were targeted.

He had a lot of big thoughts on nuclear most people don't think about. Including the construction process, which is... regulation hell. Even on the welding side, there are very few people in the country capable of building those reactors to spec, the tolerances are that tight. Arguably a lot is overkill, because if the reactor does go bang, it will, God tier construction be dammned. He did bring up France with their bundle of smaller reactor systems as promising however.

Rare Trump L. Churchill was a faggot who was borderline bankrupt then mysteriously all his debts were paid off after he started shilling for Poland's independence. Then when it came time to kick the Soviets out of Poland he bent over and sucked Stalin's cock just like FDR.

Makes no sense with all of the facts considered objectively. Churchill spent his entire career trying to advance and preserve the British Empire. He walked into WW2 looking at it from an Imperialist lens. The beginning of the end, really, was FDR demanding the British Empire give up its hold on India, and Churchill hated that. Churchill most certainly started to kick himself when he got sidelined at Yalta and realized he made a mistake instead of staying neutral and trying to diplomatically work things out with the Germans. Churchill despised Communism as well. The German government tried to send peace offers to the Brits a few times before Operation Sea Lion was attempted, but the UK government was not having it - also have to consider that Chamberlain was in charge at that time, and he made things worse.

UK and German governments were continually saber rattling at each other at that point, and Hitler pulled the plug when FDR let Pearl Harbor get attacked. US government under FDR was trying to weasel its way into an armed conflict with Germany and was using Pearl Harbor as their excuse... like you go to war in Europe when attacked by a country in Asia?? The mindset of the German government with the US and UK boils down to this when Pearl Harbor was attacked: "You both keep saber rattling, you keep trying to subvert our government, you keep cozying up to Communist Slavs, we tried to work this out diplomatically, we're DONE."

People ignore all of Churchill's writings they can read, which you can buy on book retailer sites and see for yourself. You can read text of his speeches, you can read his memoirs, you can see how he felt about these things; Churchill was, at the end of the day, an Imperialist Paleoconservative with Monarchist leanings, though he was a poor military commander. Like Lincoln, Churchill is another based person this thread doesn't like for bad reasons.

I feel that a lot of people have forgotten that Trump is a businessman who made a fortune in construction. He gets really fucking autistic whenever you're talking about construction materials and regulations.

Dude he got ecstatic in the Joe Rogan interview when he mentioned #12 concrete in relation to nuclear reactors. The man understands building shit and the regulatory hell you have to go through to do so.

This is one of the first statements I've read regarding the current state of affairs that actually made my heart swell a little with patriotic emotion. God damn I want real McD fries back.

Churchill is in a way a tragic figure as he was a man who loved the British Empire yet he is a person who contributed greatly to its decline. He let his concerns with an enemy of old cause him to put the United Kingdom into further debt and practically set up its overseas territory dismantlement by signing the Atlantic Charter. He was not a man without qualities sure but he made some very major geopolitical mistakes that had long-term consequences for something he claimed to cherish. The Bulldog is more of an American hero then a British one when looked at critically honestly.

As for the Nazis and the USA entering into World War 2, did Germany not declare war on America first ? Hitler was told the move would simply add to the list of enemies the Germans had but he dismissed that concern because he apparently thought some kind of war declaration from FDR was imminent and believed that the United States wasn't militarily competent.
