The United States will lose its super power status with Donald Trump as president
and it will be transferred to China with Russia as their lapdog. A new age of authoritarianism which will be extremely costly and deadly to quell ala wwii
I don’t even know who would be able to fight the trio from hell. At that point it’s only a matter of time before the whole planet is fascist.
Not only that, I guarantee they will push us out of being the world’s reserve currency.
Once that happens, we no longer can enforce our will around the globe via soft power (threat of tariffs, sanctions, ect.). Goodbye to normal prices of any kind and hello hyperinflation.
Goodbye to normal prices of any kind
Toooo late
You think 9% inflation is bad?
My sweet summer child wait until it hits 20, 30, 120%.
That would explain his sudden love for crypto after bashing Bitcoin during his first term.
If you just read Promise #3 in the Forward of the Project 2025 document, I believe that’s the point.
Any time globalization is mentioned, it’s in a negative way. They call the global US treaties and economic policy a woke, progressive failure. They blame much of America’s problems on our current path of global leadership.
They have to pull it all in and weed out what they dont like before they try to expand in a way that fits their image. (Oil and manufacturing) It’s how governments like this function.
Which is hilarious, if the dollar stops being the reserve currency for oil America’s massive debt mountain will be called in and the economy will collapse.
Yeah…alot of them don’t think it through. What was the Pol Pot guy in Cambodia… He kills everyone that’s not a farmer, then he needs someone to fix the broken radio…
Pretty much Brexit on a global scale.
it will effectively hand trillions of dollars of business investments directly to china.
It needs to, the US needs to mind it’s own business
Show them how, we’re waiting.
Trump is an idiot and a coward. He doesn’t give a shit about global security, he doesn’t get that abandoning allies only makes us look weak and unreliable, and he has no principles which could compel him to take a stand. He will decide things based on his own emotions and ego, doing whatever he thinks makes him look good. And his idea of looking good is less about being a leader or statesman and more about pretending to be a tough guy that gets respect by rewarding friends and punishing enemies.
Remember, this is the guy who, when faced with a choice between showing leadership in the face of a pandemic or downplaying the disease so that it wouldn’t be associated with him, went with downplaying the disease. If he can’t be trusted to make the right choice in a conflict between a virus and humanity, why would we ever expect him to make the tough call to defend an ally in a difficult conflict.
Honestly, I think if Trump had been president in 1941, he would have downplayed the significance of Pearl Harbor and would have used it as an excuse to stop aid to our allies. But I’m sure he’d still be all for internment, it’s very much his style.
pretending to be a tough guy that gets respect by rewarding friends and punishing enemies.
Or vice-versa, when it comes to the US’ relationship with the countries themselves (as opposed to his personal fawning sycophancy towards dictators).
Right, it’s not about whether they are America’s friend or foe, it’s only about their relationship with Trump. And unfortunately, Trump seems to be better at relating to dictators.
And it probably doesn’t help that democratically elected leaders from countries that have longstanding relationships with the US tend to expect America to live up to it’s obligations. They aren’t coming in and kissing the ring in exchange for favors, they’re putting the burden on the president to, you know, do his fucking job. “What’s that, Ukraine wants the defense funding that congress allocated for them? Well what will they do for me?”
And unfortunately, Trump seems to be better at relating to dictators.
I know you’re not intentionally mincing words, but I prefer to be as explicit about it as possible: Trump idolizes dictators and wants to be just like them. He is a fanboi of Putin, Xi, et al.
Russia, China - hell, North Korea - take whatcha want.
No wonder the idiot commies are for him.
They are not really commies. But I’d guess you know that.
Edit: In case it’s not clear, I strenuously object to the use of “commie” as a pejorative, particularly when it makes no sense whatsoever.
I honestly don’t know what they are. I doubt they do.
Then why would you say “idiot commies”?
They claim to be communist in some cases. Socialist is also a sort of blanket term which “means something” which - is somehow different from what others know it as. And “liberal” is an insult, so. They’re very confident they’re “left” of all creation, and any real-world effort to help people through existing national political structures is obviously corrupt and unworthy of examination.
Does that help?
No.
Ok then, thank you drive through.
Have you ever tried asking?
The term you’re looking for is Marxist-Leninist. It is by far the largest communist ideology in the world.
Then what are they?
Totalitarian. The specific flavor is Juche. It started as an ostensible offshoot of Marxist-Leninist ideology, and then became whatever the ruling family wanted it to become as time went on. By now, its essentially just a cult of personality/deification ideology around Kim jong un.
North Korea is absolutely not socialist or communist in any meaningful sense.
Auth left, where the state plays the part as the capitalist and it’s citizens are human resources to be managed.
Hasn’t Auth left and Auth right had enough time leading the world? (All of human history)
trump would never stand up for the smallest in a fight. That is cowardice.
If we’re not going to have bases all over the world, we can shrink the size of the military, right?
Right? Insert Anakin/Padme meme
The fascists would want an army at home to keep the populace in line.
That’s what the conscription part is for.
Worked out well for the Romanovs.
We can all just eat cake!
I never said it was going to work lol
This kind of declarations are very dangerous and could lead to other countries to produce their own nuclear weapons (South Korea for example)
A bit different, but South Korea already asked the US to redeploy nuclear weapons to South Korea and im fairly positive the US already agreed.
I hope that if Trump wins the elections he don’t reconsider this agreement
My friend… The gop’s stated goals are to “dismantle the administrative state.” That agreement won’t be worth shit if he wins
They want to fire all federal employees, and shut down our regulatory agencies (or at the very least, cause them to grind to a halt). And the ones they do hire back will be “their people.” In other words, sycophants who also want to dismantle the administrative state, but from the inside.
I’m sure it will be a GREATLY reduced workforce just to drive home to people how “ineffective” those agencies and systems of government are.
This is not a conspiracy theory, these are their stated policy goals. Don’t let this “unity” bullshit coming from Trump post assassination attempt fool you. His campaign is clearly trying to distance themselves from their own stated policy goals because they know how unpopular they are. Take a moment to let that sink in…
The Heritage Foundation made the mistake of saying it out loud. I guess they thought there were more Republican voters that are like them (that is to say, evil, rather than just a working class person that’s been misled into voting against their interests)
That agreement likely won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on. At least, if I were a foreign power, that’s how I would be proceeding. As if these things do not exist. Because they won’t.
their* own nuclear weapons
Edited :)
Chinese check cleared
Fat greasey bearded red neck squeals intensify
China takes over Taiwan and starts restricting AI training chips to USA 😂
Yeah…we know…
Cool I can’t wait until the price of all of our electronics goes up 400%.
Maybe then all of the “I don’t care, politics doesn’t affect me” idiots will finally wake the fuck up.
Because the entire world, including the US recognizes Taiwan is part of China
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan_Relations_Act
This whole post reads like China Astroturfing the subject on social media.
anticolonialist
Unless the “good colonialist” does it!🤣

That is fair.
Of course he merely “suggests” because he has no idea what he would actually do. He probably thinks Taiwan is a K-pop band.
“Trump’s comments still fall broadly within the ambit of the longstanding U.S. policy of strategic ambiguity regarding any action in the event of a Taiwan contingency.”
Good he’s probably not that good of a fighter
