Fuck both of these fascist assholes, but it’s fun to watch Xi twist his boot on Trump’s nose
What does fascist mean to you?
Why do you think
is a fascist?
Why are you posting here if you think Xi is fascist?
Trump is that neurotic ex that just can’t let go
Bold of them to assume Trump knows what the word “unilateral” means.
That’s why it’s a smart ask
Donnie better fucking kiss the ring or all bets are off. Every faction in the US will join some kind of uprising and we’ll see where the chips fall. My money is on balkanization.
There are many intermediate steps that would need to happen before balkanization. I think large moneyed interests would step in long before it got to that point. Right now the political machine is still behind him; that could change.
Nah. Balkanization can easily be part of moneyed interests. Imagine the Florida and Texas state militias marching across the South deporting people and enforcing arbitrary shit and a bunch of other states banding together to stop it. The federal government would still work, but balkanization would still begin in earnest
Texas and Florida are deeply wed to the nation, both economically and militarily and vice versa. Things would have to be far, far worse for that to ever materialize. It’s not in the material interest of the elites in those states, so it will continue to be a fantasy just like Texan secession has always been.
Especially Texas. The main US nuclear weapons facility Pantex is there.
There was literally a stand of between the federal national guard and the Texas state militia during Biden. It’s not as far fetched as you think.
Even the more protected US companies have ~30% of their intermediate product imported from China. Corning manufactured ~50% of all fiber optic telecommunications equipment for the whole US and they get 50% of their input products domestically, but that 30% from China will wreck the whole industry
Hey maybe remove that slur from your final sentence
Didn’t know that was a slur, my bad
no more half measures walter
