Trump threatens to blow apart entire G7 to protect Putin
-
That would piss them off so much lol
-
It was a thought I had too, but tbh I feel iffy about China.
If China's willing to stop supporting Russia, I could see the west sans US starting closer ties with China. That alliance would be an economic powerhouse for sure.

So you've been in the last few months since you learned these great things? Or was it before Covid, when people were physically caged into their apartments?
Was it only to the sterilized foreigner hotels on business trips? Or did you ever stay with locals who had to register your passport with the local police?
Were you able to spend physical currency or was everything already hooked up to official biometric identification (payments tied to socials tied to state id)?
I'm not asking to be confrontational, but the shiny foreigner facing China of yesteryear is nothing like the domestic atmosphere of China today. Their international digital presence is as carefully managed as their local platforms.
The locals I've met definitely have a positive view of the US, but things have gotten very dark very quickly under Xi. Think about why they could have started their emigration at any time but are choosing now.

It's almost as if he works for Putin
-
I figure the best way to convince China to stop supporting Russia is to give them a better option. Europe is a bigger economy and more in line with many of China's goals. Russia is chaotic and weak by comparison.
-
Blow it apart. America doesn't belong with its former Allies.
Its clear that America has no interest in being apart of the free world, they checked out.
Now fuck off and go destroy yourselves in a frenzy over transgender bathroom doors and eggs. The rest of us still have lives to live and futures to protect.
-
Yes, PLEASE! The rich fucks need to start feeling the consequences of this bullshit where it hurts. It's the only domestic demographic that can offer enough pressure to motivate this administration to change their behavior.
-
That's assuming they even pay attention to anything international other than Ukraine or Israel (many don't).

So you’ve been in the last few months since you learned these great things? Or was it before Covid, when people were physically caged into their apartments?
I married a Chinese national and spend a month or two in China every year since.
Look man. You need to fucking stop. You look like an absolute douchebag.

Maybe he does.
Maybe Putin's colleagues found out something interesting about Trump back in the days, and made him an offer he could not refuse - "go and become King of America, we'll even help you a little, but you'll serve us".
Wild speculation, of course. But he definitely doesn't have national interest burdening his mind in any way or manner.
P.S. If I worked in the Secret Service, I would use my telescope to watch birds fly and tree leaves wobble. Even if there was a remote weapons station turning towards my client, or a wire guided object coming in - I would hardly notice until impact.
-
That's definitely true, and the thought has crossed my mind before.
Anything an European company manages to sell in China is going to be a huge boost too. It's the damn IP laws that are a pain to work with, though. A Chinese company perfectly clones your product? Well, you're not going to win if you sue them.
-
Its almost as if he wants america out of a war as quickly as possible.
-
So making peace with russia is destroying the free world, but letting Ukraine and russia have a forever war isn't?
-
Pretty weird that you were "blown away by China" then... No need to get mad
️My anecdotal experience is different than yours, but everything I've said is nothing but facts. China is a country of 1.4 billion people and 3.7 million sq mi, so obviously sentiment will vary. But I based my opinion on what I've personally seen and people I've talked to across half a dozen cities, so I feel pretty confident in my pessimism.
-
What kind of dumb ass uninformed comment is this. We all want the war to end. But with freedom, not more oppression
-
Right?
Russia could end the war it started right now. And leave. It chooses not to.
-
Pretty weird that you were “blown away by China” then…
You're clearly under the impression that this is something which has happened recently. And it's not. Which is really weird because I at no point in time said anything about this being a recent thing. That's your own bias and you're making yourself look like a douche because you're piling up your assumptions with each post..."oh, he must not talk to actual Chinese!" "oh, he must be one of these TikToker's!" "oh, I bet he's never even been to China!"
Clearly it's a wide and diverse country. Your pessimism singularly indicates that you gravitate towards the negative--not that China is in a bad spot, but that you're only choosing to see the bad...

it's the pee tape

Even better, South Korea

Out of the goodness oft his heart?
