Caught in the Trap: 25–30 Years of Other People’s Shit.

I’m Jamie, and I’m worried as hell. Look back 25–30 years — since ‘95 or so , I was 15…— and we’ve been dumbasses, jumping into everyone else’s fights. Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine, you name it — we’ve stuck our nose in, spent our cash, and got nothing but a mess. Now it’s 2025, and the bill’s due, finances are fucked, and people are pissed. I see lies and rewritten history in it all, and the Bible’s got parallels that say we should’ve known better. Here’s how we got ensnared — and why I’m pushing “Impeach Trump” to hit back. Don’t invest what you can’t afford. Please.

Diving In Headfirst.

It started with good intentions, maybe. Bosnia ‘95 — we bombed, sent troops, “fixed” it. Then 9/11 hit, and bam — Iraq 2003, Afghanistan 2001. WMDs? Lies. Bin Laden? Took a decade. Trillions gone — $2 trillion on Iraq alone, says Brown University’s Costs of War. We rewrote Saddam as Satan, Taliban as pure evil, but the truth? We were in someone else’s sandbox, bleeding cash.

Bible’s got this in Proverbs 26:17: “Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.” We grabbed the damn dog — other people’s wars — and it bit us. Genesis 3’s lie is here too — sold a story of “spreading freedom,” but it was power plays and oil. History got spun: Iraq’s a win ‘til the bodies piled up.

Doubling Down, Dollars Out.

Financial crash in ‘08 — banks tanked us, but we kept funding fights. Libya 2011 — Gaddafi’s out, chaos in. Syria kicks off, we’re sending weapons, billions more. By 2015, we’re $18 trillion in debt, per Treasury stats, and still playing global cop. Anger’s brewing — Tea Party, Occupy — but we’re too busy rewriting the past. “Mission Accomplished” in Iraq? Bullshit. History’s a lie we tell ourselves to keep going.

Check Galatians 6:7: “Don’t be deceived; God’s not mocked. What you sow, you reap.” We sowed meddling — reaped broke. Daniel 7:25’s “changing times” fits — every war’s a “new era,” but it’s the same old trap.

Anger Explodes, Trap Tightens.

Last decade’s a blur of rage. Trump’s 2016 win — people mad as hell at the system. Russia invades Ukraine 2014 escalates, we’re in for $100 billion by now. COVID hits, we blow $6 trillion on relief while arguing masks. 2025 — Trump’s back, debt’s $35 trillion, and we’re still bailing out other people’s problems. Gaza’s a cash pit, Haiti’s a mess — we can’t stop.

Anger’s the snare now. X is a fury fest — half want isolation, half want more war. Proverbs 22:24–25 warns, “Make no friendship with a man given to anger… lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.” We’re snared — fuming at each other, not the trap. John 18:38’s “What is truth?” echoes — rage rewrites reality daily.

Biblical Lens: Why We’re Screwed.

Scripture’s blunt about this shit:

  • Proverbs 26:17: Meddling’s a dog bite — 25 years of bites, bleeding cash.
  • Genesis 3: Lies sold us in — freedom, justice, whatever. Same as Eve’s apple.
  • Galatians 6:7: Sowed wars, reaped debt — $35 trillion by ‘25 ain’t random.
  • Proverbs 22:24–25: Anger’s the trap now — snared us worse than the fights.
  • Revelation 18:4: “Come out of her, my people” — Babylon’s mess is ours. Stop playing.

We’ve been at it 30 years, and Matthew 24:6’s “wars and rumors” is our life. But it says don’t freak — hard when you’re worried like me.

My Worry, My Move.

I’m freaked ‘cause we’re broke and mad, and the lies keep coming. Trump’s rewriting his own past — January 6th’s a picnic, 2020’s stolen — and we’re still stuck in Ukraine’s mud. History’s a joke, finances are toast, and anger’s got us by the throat.

So I made “Impeach Trump” on pump.fun. No fists, $IT — wallets. Nehemiah 2:17–18 — rebuild with what’s in hand. It’s my way to say, “Fuck this trap, I’m out.” Token’s a jab at the lies, a call to pull back from the mess. Hit pump.fun, grab it, pass it. We’ve meddled enough — time to quit other people’s shit and fix ours.

Where We’re At.

She — me, Jamie — sits in 2025, staring at 30 years of screw-ups. We’ve let lies drag us in, anger keep us there, and cash vanish. Bible says we’re reaping it, but Revelation 21 promises a reset. I’m worried, yeah — debt’s crushing, rage is blinding — but I’m not done. Proverbs 12:19: “Truth lasts.” I’m betting on it, one token at a time.

Parallels Expanded.

  • Proverbs 26:17: Meddling’s the root — Bosnia to Gaza, we can’t stop grabbing dogs.
  • Galatians 6:7: Financial snare’s our harvest — trillions sown in foreign dirt.
  • Proverbs 22:24–25: Anger’s the real trap — 30 years of wars fueled it, now it’s us.
  • Revelation 18:4: Pull out — stop funding Babylon’s chaos (global meddling).
  • Daniel 7:25: History’s rewrite — every war’s a “win” ‘til it’s not.
