We are about to become China's whore.
China collapse confirmed

Trump is literally facing the camera and saying under no uncertain terms that he believes inviting 500,000 Chinese students to take American jobs and letting Chinese companies open up shop in America is objectively a good thing. The usual Trump ballwashers on social media will of course try to downplay it but the damage is already done.
Fatpacks, I have a little bet I’d like to make with you. If the number of new international students declined you have to post your hand. Do you accept?
 
We are heading back to MAGA boys, get with it r get on the indian sytem. Yeah Trump and Elon and others are ok with ZOG. ok I don't care anymore! Fuck these hodgetwin weirdos
I'm sure since I'm saying it to you, you may feel differently about my opinion, But unironically when I see the hodge twins I get an innate feeling that women are not safe around them

They used to be pretty 'based' but have gotten into the weirdo anti 'used to be MAGA but no we're all anti ZOG' thing with then. Seeing that going around, disappointing.
 
I wish the cia would train pigs to rape jihadis. It’d be funny. And something I would like my tax dollars to go to. I’d also dip all of our ammo in pigs blood and sprinkle pigs blood on all of our bombs. Then I’d paint an anime gender bent Muhammad in lingerie on each of the missiles for extra measure.
Bacon-tipped bullets for all small arms!
 
Do you guys think Jimmy Lai will be freed within the next 24 hours?
 
It isn't just about regime change. The US military is cutting its teeth against Chinese export equipment and is trying to take down an ally to China who can cut the flow of oil to our deadbeat allies while supplying China should war break out. The Strait closure probably wasn't ideal, but the US isn't going to let a good crisis go to waste as the US can weather it much better than a lot of our BRIC rivals like China and India. If the world wants the Strait opened up, maybe our good for nothing allies put the defence money we give them to good use and help.
You're either a retard, or not an American. Gas is creeping over $5 where I am, and it's going to get worse every day. The idea that Americans will put up with this is just absurd. The Republicans are going to lose everything over this in a couple of months, and then Trump and his entire cabinet are going to get eaten alive.
The gaslighting that Iran is in anyway beating the USA is absurd.
The strait is closed, and the US can't open it. That's the definition of losing. Winning means imposing your will, this is the opposite. Inflation is skyrocketing, and it's about to get a lot worse. And neither you nor anyone else has explained how this situation is going to realistically change.
 
The easy yet hard to see part of this is that it has already begun. Gas prices aren't up in the US due to the strait being closed; that oil was never feeding our gas stations to begin with. Gas prices are up because the western hemisphere is exporting for significant profit to the suffering parts of the world that did use it, raking in the profits and pulling capital halfway across the world which will in good time develop more production in our nice safe regions. Production already has increased from some companies.

The comedic punchline is that once this dies down and the cut-off regions stop paying desperate rates then western hemisphere prices will drop down lower than they were at the start.
If you have no idea how oil markets work, why even reply to this sort of thing? This "thought" is so idiotic, it's impossible to even know where to start.
 
We saw worse during the Biden era especially during mid 2022. It's like you people only remember the present moment or something.
The oil disruption resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine peaked worse than what we've seen so far, but the oil disruption today is far, FAR worse than that (and that's just oil; the blockage of the SoH is way more consequential than Russian oil & gas sanctions). You're assuming it's not going to get worse, when literally all indicators show it will, and not just a little worse, but a lot worse. I guess it must be nice to be so blissfully ignorant. That said, neither you nor anyone else who claims I'm wrong is willing to bet on it.

ETA: and of, course, the gas prices were an albatross around Biden's neck that never left. Even though the gas spike was relatively short-lived in that circumstance, it lead to inflation that never truly relented, and it was crazily expensive politically.

The Biden Administration doesn't get enough credit for what they did after 2022 economic policy-wise but the problem is that people in pain will lash out for no reason which is why everyone believed that the admin did fuck all. There was no way around a shitty 2-3 years after 2020 but the median voter doesn't get that and thinks the president can just press a "click to fix everything" button or defund the military overnight and redirect the money to something else.
