Soviet spies were exceptionally good

Their intelligence agencies (as in the media, demoralization, mass-mindset manipulation components) were so powerful that they have lasting impacts today.
Kind of like when we fed the mujahadeen ideology to hurt the soviets, that directly helped found al quaeda, etc.

Actually, Soviet spies were exceptionally good.

i'm talking about james bond vs evil soviet bad guys are fake. soviet spies earned their reputation for excellence and skill at turning americans to their side, even if i hate every single one of them for it.

the soviets were the greatest threat the united states ever faced, and possibly ever will. they had to destroy their own country to maintain the face that kept us on our toes for 60 years straight. we spent that time with the best, brightest minds of america working to counter whatever they claimed to have, and any time we could get our hands on wrecks, we did. it's why the s300 was basically just a toaster for all the good it did against the night stalkers. it's why even though the ukies are probably as dumb as the average ruskie ten vodkas deep, they're still holding out, because the equipment they have is just seven or eight tiers better on the grand strategy tech list than anything else in the world.

it's why we have to test all our military shit on sandniggers by selling it to israel and getting their combat data, because we just don't have an effective enemy to push us anymore. the chinese are a paper tiger with a drawing of the same things the soviets were convincing us with just words they had. if you want to see what our greatest enemy would look like in a war, google the damage that would be caused by destroying the three gorges dam with a directed missile strike, or a bombing run. imagine how many millions would die for every conventional carpetbombing of one of their megacities? imagine the HORRIFYING fire spread if we used just regular FIREBOMBING tactics from 100 years ago.

it's pathetic how unready the rest of the world truly is to fuck with the United States, and it really, finally, truly makes me feel PROUD to be an American these days.

United States Department of Justice has just issued subpoenas targeting the federal reserve chairman for criminal prosecution.

The fucking balls on Trump. Holy shit.

 

[Chaotic Good Barbarian]

Oregon had a good economy. Till logging got shut down. Till the agri-corps bought up the farms and started importing Mexicans. Till CA activists sued businesses into the ground. Till faggot hippies from Portland began fucking everything up.

Washington was pretty much the same, with Seattle not really changing till the 2010's.

But once the SoCal transplants started getting their way...

That's partly true, but Aberdeen hasn't been a junkie whorehouse since Kurt was a child because of muh California.

Had a friend who went there in the 80s. Skinny nerdy hippie guy. People would wait out by his truck to give him shit for his Cali plates. Easy target, never happened to me in the 10s though.

PNWers who never take responsibility for their own region's fuckups are hilarious. It's "we wuz kangz" with rain.

The small towns have plenty of criminal junkies, and nobody moves to them because the locals are outwardly hostile. Can't blame Tyrone from Compton for selling your bike for heroin, when it was Billy from your high school math class.

You aren't unique. Lots of red staters love pointing at the tent cities on the west coast until it's pointed out that they're at least partly filled by people from those areas - who were given a one way ticket to the west coast to get rid of their detritus by the Captains of Responsibility.

 

[FatalTater]

Did someone used to keep trump distracted or comfortable and he's no longer around? Trump is never not fucking with something or someone now. It hasn't been two weeks into 2026 and this is the most densely packed shit.

The first time he was President, he underestimated the evil.
This time he came prepared.

 

[Zenos Yae Viator]

that is a true disaster scenario, but i oddly have faith that it would coalesce into something better if it went down that way. the bandaid has to come off some day, and if we rip it off it'll bleed (civil war), but if we leave it on, it runs the risk of infection or trench foot (not changing anything) so we have to figure out how to actually remove this bandaid right, but at the same time still be ready to put a little peroxide and isopropyl on the wound to disinfect it, if it continues to bleed after the bandaid is removed.

my deal is, as bad as open violent revolt and chaos is.. polite society has allowed us to get here, they endlessly lie and cheat and steal in Washington because there's nothing, no repercussions for their class of people, so long as they are "in", unlike outsiders like that faggot George Santos, everyone else is untouchable.

peaceful solutions lets that entire class just skate on by, forever, and so the corruption and evil they commit and stew in, will also continue, they are of the class of humans that will always get away with what we let them, and we let them get away with basically everything now.

It sounds insane to want some sort of violent upheavel, but the board is stacked and locked in, and only chaos can let things restart at this point.

So to be fair. These protests might not actually be as wide spread or huge as the news is making them out to be. Places like Portland or Minneapolis are thoroughly raped, and their police forces are gutted so the entire reason the feds aren't coming in in force right now is because we're very much not close to a BLM level situation.

This is what the protests in Chicago look like, I can guarantee you the news is only showing up close shots to try and scare normies into compliance.

Minneapolis or Portland probably seem more out of control because the police just kind of let the protestors have free reign.

Freezing USAid did wonders.

These pathetic turnouts are probably from the BRICS nations (Iran, China, Russia) slipping some funding through to pay for some crusty boomers to feel relevant for half an hour again.

This isn't persuasive to anybody. It's just a canard that people in Seattle and Portland say all the time to each other.

Trump wants lower interest rates. Powell didn't give it to him. Trump decides an independent agency that doesn't answer to the President is unacceptable Pretty much that simple. Federal Reserve says it gets to decide what banking policy should be and the President say's lol, I got guns. Lets see what wins a debate. Your degrees and credentials or my guns!

my bet is FIRMLY on the Federal Reserve, they do NOT fuck around.

stepping on the money train has been proven to be incredibly perilous for anyone.

I think Trump will declare himself the chairman. Gut feeling.

 

[LiquidKid]

They wear clown makeup.

And they look even more hideous without it

 

[Stupor Mario]

Look out, Trump. The Ayatollah will use his black magic to put the Curse of the Pharaohs on you.



That father figure who sits there with arrogance and pride, passing judgment on the entire world, he too should know that usually the tyrants and oppressors of the world, such as Pharaoh and Nimrod and Reza Khan and Mohammad Reza and the likes of them, when they were at the peak of their pride, were overthrown,This one too will be overthrown.

You don't separate a jew from his currency destroying machine. I mean money.

>Trump goes after the Fed.
>Stonk line go down
>Suddenly, the sounds of "Real American" can be heard reverberating from elsewhere in the forum, mixing with the rabid cry-screeching of some old larping boomer mad that his investment portfolio is about to become devalued by 10¢.

Fuck yeah, I love 2026 so much already. No-scoping lesbian Karen AWFLs and an Iranian protestor running over other Iranian protestors in L.A. has been a nice bonus too.

 

[pooterino]

most of the left will be mad I even want to discuss deportations let alone using hitler as a blueprint for it and alot of you will think im some yellow bellied faggot for not putting razor wire in the train cars.

no train cars, studs. Goddamn it, man.

Mark Ruffalo Calls Trump ‘Rapist’ and ‘Pedophile’ on Golden Globes Red Carpet: ‘It’s Hard to B.S. Right Now’

Ruffalo was asked by a USA Today reporter about a black-and-white pin Ruffalo wore on his tuxedo that stated simply, “Be Good.” The actor, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for his work on HBO’s Task, didn’t hold back.

“It’s for Renee Nicole Good who was murdered,” he said, referring to the 37-year-old Minnesota woman shot by an ICE agent Wednesday. He was one of several celebrities who wore similar pins to celebrate Good and reject ICE.

The Avengers actor went on to assail Vice President J.D. Vance’ claim that the shooting was self-defense: “We have a vice president is lying about what’s happening,” Ruffalo said.

Ruffalo said Trump’s “morality” may not be the best barometer: “The guy is a convicted felon, or convicted rapist. He’s a pedophile. He’s the worst human being. If we’re relying on this guy’s morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we’re all in a lot of trouble.”

my theory is, these are the true blue dyed-in-the-wool soldiers. the white elderly libtard boomers are literally the only ones who buy this globohomo shit anymore. nigs don't buy it, arabs don't buy it, jews don't buy it, spics don't buy it. the only people who buy it TRUTHFULLY are the white liberal boomers because they believe it's the truth. they grew up in that weird point of the world where they could just do whatever the fuck, let anyone do whatever the fuck, and there was never any consequence to them, so they thought it would always remain fine. now this is where their belief has led them.

may they meet the truck of peace themselves one day.

 

[Gondolindrim]

I'm surprised I'm not seeing more libs screaming about ICE being a "distraction from the Epstein files" I thought that was their favorite talking point.
