So I should sperg more?

No, you should slap fight less.

Fatpacks is a gimmick account that works because at MOST he'll respond to two maybe three people who respond to his doomer posts. He doesn't get in the weeds and start slap fights. He throws his doom out into the ether in the most hyperbolic way possible and walks away until his next shift starts.

 

[Mister Fister]

LOL, I'm hardly a doomer. If you look at my posts ITT I'm generally supportive of Trump and I believe in his agenda.

It's just in this case, watching the staged reception when he got off the plane and the parade, with the soldiers and the kids, it seemed...off. Like I know that the CCP is very good at that sort of spectacle, but I got the vibe they were going all out because they knew Trump would love it, to the point where they were playing him. The whole thing smacks of a massive propaganda coup.

Whether it ends up being favorable for us as far as the deals and negotiations, they will absolutely use this as "Look at the Americans coming to us in supplication to our Superior Chinese Nation!"

Now that may just work internally with them, but I just got a vibe that Trump played into their hands. It seems different from him meeting with Putin, King Charles, even Kim Jong Un.

Understand, I'm just going off of my knowledge of manufacturing and the Chinese economic situation plus knowledge of face culture here. China has to put on the Potemkin show here even as things are falling apart. It feels more like XI is trying to save face and pretend for his own power them than for us.

Still have to square this against all the damage Trump caused the CCP. They’ve been paying the shills overtime to pretend everything is great, but there’s been a lot of civil unrest over there this past year.

He also acted like Kim Jong Un’s best friend and then that whole front just went quiet.

I remember pretty much the entirety of the media defending Biden and saying the president has no ability to influence domestic gas prices.

What changed?

The ability to blame your gas prices on the decision to bomb the poor dindunuffins of peace.

Face culture demands you put up the Potemkin.

Were you asleep for the 2025 Trump Middle East tour? Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE...they all rolled out the purple carpets for Trump and gave him full fledged military escorts with soldiers in dress uniform riding camels. Spectacles like this are nothing new, unless you're retarded and only pretending to be paying attention.

Whether it ends up being favorable for us as far as the deals and negotiations, they will absolutely use this as "Look at the Americans coming to us in supplication to our Superior Chinese Nation!"

I could care less how the Chinese internal media spins it inside their country. Everyone does this to some extent. China agreed to buy 200!US aircraft, get oil from Texas/Louisiana/Alaska and stop selling arms to Iran and it's proxies. Which the US media will spin as a win for us while the Chinese media ignores it. Actions and outcomes are all that matters in international affairs, the squawking of media both foreign and domestic is irrelevant. Let me see the outcomes of the meeting before I decide if it was good or bad.

Now that may just work internally with them, but I just got a vibe that Trump played into their hands. It seems different from him meeting with Putin, King Charles, even Kim Jong Un.

>Vibes
>VIBES
>MUH VIBES AND FEELING BRO
This is why you got called a doomer you fucking retard.

Edit: also I forgot what sand nigger hell hole we gifted this too but we gave them a custom McDonald's mobile during Trump's 2025 ME tour. International trips are all about the flex, no matter whose the one flexing.

Honestly, we should be more racist against the Chinese. Why?

1. They constantly scam and steal. This is not a joke - You think Indian scammers are bad? The Chinese do it with more suavity. These niggers on the daily are stealing gift cards and shit from every retailer and trying every single day to get into sex trafficking. They will steal everything they can and send it back to China under some dumb-ass form of nationalistic pride, despite doing everything they can to get out of the country in the first place - Because they are dumb as literal fuck. The so-called "legendary" Chinese IQ really consists of gimmick learning habits and retarded math tricks, which is hilarious because you talk to one and most of these dumb chink niggers don't even understand basic Pinyin.

2. They are annoying and more pretentious than Jeets. I know, impossible, right? Wrong. Chinese will be like "Uhhhh, as a PROUD MEMBER OF THE DRAGON EMPIRE OF THE MIDDLE KINGDOM, YOUR RULES DON'T APPLY TO ME!!", as they buy only the most expensive brand clothing and attempt to think Americans also respect some retarded chink version of face.

3. They constantly only deal with cluster populations and can NEVER assimilate on average. Even a four generation chink will read about China once and be like "Ohhh... hewwooo beautiful, I want to go back to the homeland were I'm not a retarded faggot and accepted" - Only to go to China, find two farmers buttfucking in a field next to a bunch of dead dogs, take a train that smells like pigs and is about to break down, then get to the city where everyone is a complete dipshit. After a dreadful experience, they will go back to the states, cry about it for two seconds, then repeat this process over and over again with this dumbass idea that really, they just didn't see the true heart of China.

4. Their food sucks. Oh, sweet and sour (AKA sugar), random questionable meat, and buns that make you shit for 30 hours straight? Thanks.

5. They act gay and have a gay culture. That's right. They are insanely gay. Not as gay as pajeets, but holy shit, it's close. Chinese people need to be buck broken by the world and the face they put on is ripped from them. They must suffer a government collapse and everyone calling them fucking niggers over and over again for any sort of self-introspection and cultural improvement that might, maybe, mimic the superior Western morality and virtues.

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

One more than the other, or equally for both?

 

[George Lucas]

Wow, if true, didn't she turn out to be a fucking lame horse.

You have to give anything trump says or does a couple days, see what actually happened and not play into the spin the media or retards. I don't like that china seems to want to buy oil from us, but I assume it's an attempt to fuck over Iran. Still don't like it because it will drive the price up for us.

 

[Betonhaus]

NGL I didn't expect Trump's china visit to be ceremonious and respectful.

They didn't bring any Democrats along so of course they would be respectful.

So I am starting to realize the scope of the issue, I dont think there is enough hellfire missles on the burks on station to take care of JUST THAT WAVE of speedboats, and by the time you can use CWIS or any other standard kinetic THEY are in range, fucking hell, asymetric warefare is so fucked

Someone please tell em why we arent tracking these things via satellite and seeing where they launch from and then blowing that to smithereens?

342 fucking boats, thats just one way....

how many do these sand niggers actually got?

First, you can't "track" a small boat via satellite. For nth time, Stud, that's not how satellites work.
Stop getting your information on satellites from TV and video games.

Second, Burkes don't carry Hellfires as a primary armament, that would be aircraft - i.e. Apaches, Cobras and Predator drones.

Third, a single C-17 can deliver dozens, if not over a hundred, Hellfire missiles in a single trip.

Fourth, that's not the only thing that can kill a speedboat. Say hello to cluster bombs, staffing runs with cannons, AGM-176 Griffin and GBU-39 for anything big enough to carry a missile.

 

[LiquidKid]

These sorts of routine diplomatic visits are carefully planned out months beforehand, every single talking point is run through dozens of aids and advisors on both sides so that they can agree on a single narrative, the actual meeting itself is just going through the motions of everything that was already agreed on beforehand in dozens of hours of behind the scenes meetings and negotiations. If both sides could not agree ceremoniously and respectfully on a middle ground narrative between their respective interests then they likely would’ve just cancelled the meeting.

Tell that to the second time Trump met with Kim Jeong Un which was ended early and unceremoniously because agreements couldn’t be reached

My takes as someone who works in China a lot:
1) The H200 agreement is a big deal, it's about ~3x (4x?) of ALL compute capacity of China right now, but there are still some roadblocks from the tone of the Chinese Foreign Ministry. Will be a feeding frenzy, stonks will go up on this like 5-100x. Foreign Ministry left open possibly they fail the application process.
2) I do not think China will follow through on the Boeing order, They haven't bought after the trade war started, and Boeing will fuck up and give them an excuse (Plus Boeing cant make 200 planes in a year). Lip service
3) The major ag breakthrough is with US slaughterhouses, China does not take US beef, it's banned by law. But again, I suspect it will not hold. Cargil not surprised because China wants soybeans, easy lip service.
4) Watch how Putin is received shortly, subtle things will show if Xi actually wanted a deal or was just meeting Trump for the sake of it.
5) Iran stuff is lip service.
6) The party line seems so far to be "Fuck you, we're going fight to the bitter end of this trade war" while trying to gain some face as a "reasonable" alternative to a US led world order.
7) Visa/Mastercard got told to go fuck themselves by the Chinese banks, so everyone can celebrate that.
