If Trump dismantles NATO, he might, ironically enough, be the best US president ever.

Does your cruelty have no bounds?!

I’m honestly surprised it has gone on as long as it has, isn’t Ukraine struggling to conscript anyone under 25?

Angela Merkel basically admitted it in 2014 when she called for proactive security measures against Russia for invading? Crimea, she was asked, "Why didn't Germany call for sanctions on the US for invading Iraq?" and she said something like "We know the US is bad on foreign policy but at least they never attack their allies".

Liberals act like it's irrational behavior, it's not, more like desperate behavior. The PRC flimflammed the US in a spectacular move, forcing the US to make a critical, possibly terminal mistake. China took on market changes to build up its productive powers. It's in line with Orthodox Marxism that a nation has to go from primitive communism -> feudalism -> mercantilism (early-style capitalism) -> (mid-stage) capitalism -> neoliberalism (late-stage capitalism)-> socialism -> communism But China was intelligent enough to always have the Party in charge, unlike other times when the US ruined communist projects by having them adopt capitalism which led to the corporate oligarchy of liberalism...

So now some people in the US want to attempt to reindustrialize to compete with China at a break-neck speed, even if that means hurting American citizens and breaking ties with key allies.

The Europeans (at least in the Schengen/EU area) that think they have the ability to stand up to the US is so cute… sweaty, your power comes from the US. Just like with the Iraq War, you’re allowed to kick up dust and go into empty platitudes but you aren’t allowed to actually change anything.

He CAN’T do that, the constitution, the 14th amendment, and precedent!!!

Finally liberals are realizing that the constitution is just a piece of paper and can’t actually enforce anything. I had a political science professor who told us that any paper or exam that said that the government “can’t” do something, would get an automatic F, he said that the government is nothing but the diplomatic wing to avoid using the definition of government power… which is the monopoly on the “legitimate” use of force. Things can be unpopular, not worth pursuing, or better done via other means, but no piece of paper anywhere can block the government’s thugs from saying, “RULES CHANGED, ASSHOLE, NOW OBEY OR DIE.”

The West Bank is going to get their own version of Hamas.

every white tourist across Latin America is going to be fair game

That’s the settler-colonial paranoia that what they did, which they won’t admit fully, will be done to them. When truth is most oppressed just want the carnage to end, not get revenge.

The worst part is that masculine/feminine energy are actually concepts from Taoism (but it’s WAY different from this weird alfalfa male stuff), and now Western liberals assume you’re one of these weirdos when you talk about the energies.

For example the Taoist concept of it says that nobody could live a happy life with only one energy (for example a father has to have feminine energy to properly show love to their children) and everyone needs to be introspective to feel what balance is best for them.

My theory is that Trump is just shrewd enough to understand when to take a strategic retreat:

TikTok:

170 million people are on it and nobody expected ByteDance to put up such a fight, I think they figured they’d sell under enough pressure, probably for a pittance so it wasn’t worth such a potentially radicalizing event, especially with so many Americans migrating to Red Note.

Israel:

The truth is Israel pulled out every stop possible and went full holocaust-mode on Palestine, they burned every bridge and severely harmed the soft power of the US and left that of Israel’s in ashes. These past couple of days looks like Israeli propaganda has been going crazy with tonnes of posts on social media with their usual stuff, showing off gay night clubs in Tel-Aviv and pressuring attractive Ashkenazi Israeli girls in full makeup to do stuff in military uniform and despite heavy censorship on these platforms, almost every post is people shitting on them.

Israel used every ounce of strength and still couldn’t make Hamas any less effective than day zero of the hot war.

Trump wanted them to win but the fact is that they failed, there’s no other way about it. He just had the decency to tell them it’s time to fucking throw in the towel, lick your wounds and figure out a different way to do this.

China, is if anything, extremely proactive on these matters. At least on matters of fitness they take precautions to protect their people that might seem Draconian in the West, snorting or dry dosing creatinine or pre workout powder is banned even if accompanied by a disclaimer that it isn’t a narcotic, no syringes or pills can be present in any image with a fitness influencer (even if they are promoting products delivered in that way), celebration of extreme dieting (pinching the skin around the belly button or jawline to show no fat, the “skull face” etc.) needs a disclaimer about how “contest prep” is an extreme 6 week process done by professionals and only usually once or twice a year.

I’m certain it won’t be as easy to poison the well as some might think.
