China will definitely suffer, but it also doesn't care. Public opinion supporting its actions are not a priority in China. Trump is starting to feel the bite his stupidity has taken him. Not sure if he understands completely, but he's getting an idea that he'll wear the blame. Not from the Maga, but from everyone else.
And you underestimate the disadvantage of an uninformed and disinterested electorate, a politically chosen Supreme Court and a political system co-opted to serve corporate interests.
Only if you take what I said very literally. The Chinese and the Russians are concluding, I'm sure you would agree.
I'm not sure your allegory is very apt.
Difficult to argue against, except America is doing this too us as well, and we don't get a vote.
That's true. The US has been interfering in other country's domestic affairs for decades. Organising the odd coup, overthrowing elected leaders. Suddenly people are shocked to learn that it can work both ways.
A country with strong democratic institutions are pretty resilient to these tactics. You might not trust the politicians, but you trust the officials, the military and the courts.
It seems that the US has dismantled trust in these institutions for a long time. It has let corporations run the show. So Russia and China have an easier task.
I don't see anybody stopping you from saying anything you want to say, so stop playing the victim.
Trump is a uniquely American problem. You guys either elected him, or didn't care enough to vote. Shit, his popularity is still almost 50% now even after he destroyed the economy.
Your argument is that the American people are so stupid that they were manipulated by foreign actors (TWICE) into electing an obvious fuckwit.
Well, ok, if you insist,
Nah-uh. No blaming China or Russia on this one. The United States did this squarely to themselves with the world pleading otherwise. They inserted their own head in the vice and started spinning the handle.
Sure, it aligns with the communist block's benefit, but the US really needs to be held accountable for its own idiocy on this one. Its the first step in recovery.
Not in anyway an expert on matters naval, but diesel subs are pretty quiet running on electric motors. Nuclear reactors make more noise.
Feel free to correct me.
Empty boots, with smoke still emanating from them.
Actually, in every definition of the word, on the international stage, he most definitely speaks for you.
If not, please go ahead and overturn the tariff bullshit.
One one space permitted. Nah, I'm not an actual slave to the dictates of grammar Nazis. That's why such books are called guides.
You want the people to "Maga hat" riot the white house? You think that's the plan?
Were you dropped on your head as a baby?
The whole "no legal precedence". Has been a thing for a few years now. We have what used to be called chaos nowadays.
The richest man on the face of the planet is actually a victim.
That takes me back. That was the standard reference for my journalism degree 35 years ago. I still have it.
Trump is just a sock puppet for the corporations and ideological doom players behind him. He has no idea what's going on most of the time.
Whatever... Exactly zero consequences...
War on orgasms. Catchy political slogan.
