Donald Trump and his closest allies are planning a radical reshaping of American government. Here are some of the policy stakes if he regains power in 2025.
It’s like the Brexit folks that wanted the benefits of the EU and short lines at the airport but what they got was fucked and didn’t seem to understand why. “This isn’t the Brexit I voted for!”. Yes it is.
By who exactly? We are moving toward permanent tri-polar authoritarianism: China, Russia, and the United States. Nobody is coming to save us with “sanctions”. We already lost the war. It’s fucking over. People just haven’t come to terms with that reality yet.
you think Russia today is top 3 global power? by what metric?
Yes, by individual military power, which is the only metric that actually matters when you get down to nut-cutting. Barring some massive geo-political or technological shift, it is going to stay a tri-polar world.
Honestly, they needed to import weapons and ammunition from North Korea - I think they’ve since retooled their economy but shit was desperate there for a while.
It seems that way, but I don’t think that is how the Russians see it. It will certainly be interesting to see what transpires after Mad Vlad finally kicks off.
Lmao nah. Russia is the second best military power in Ukraine. They’re a fucking joke. If they were up against a real adversary in a conventional war, they’d get rolled up like an old carpet.
Fighting a land war with urban and CQC elements is messy and complicated. See: Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq as examples. Ukraine is in no way representative of what would happen in a full on shooting war, conventional or otherwise, between larger military powers.
It’s disturbingly stupid that you don’t understand Russia could flatten the entire country of Ukraine if it wanted to. This entire conflict is about containment and bleeding their surplus conventional weaponry so they cannot launch another offensive conflict against NATO. That is only working because completely destroying the country is counter-productive to Russian interests.
Like the other person said: who could sanction the US? Without us military presence China and Russia could bully the rest of the world. What’s happening in Ukraine and the South China Sea but in overdrive.
Tanking the us economy means the us might get desperate and the US really only has one lever that works on everyone: force.
I feel like there’s a chance - not good odds, mind you - but a chance that America ends up sanctioned and diplomatically isolated.
Exactly what “America first” idiots want (but not actually, because they’re stupid).

“He’s not hurting the right people!”
Nice username 👏

Russia is pretty much a vassal state of China at this point, or at least barreling down the path towards it.

LOL, I don’t give a fuck how the Russians see it; I care about actual reality.

The blyats can’t even manage a war of aggression on their own border.

Meh, least of our concerns. I wouldn’t be surprised of putin moved on Alaska and trump said “yes, daddy, it feels so good!”.
All his idiotic cult would pivot immediately, too - “Alaska was too woke anyway”, “we didn’t really need it anyhow”, etc…
