World War III is trending and guess who thinks it's all just fearmongering (along with being ratioed)?

WW3 has been trending for most of the day on Twitter, though it's mostly people posting memes about it. Still kind of ominous given recent goings-on in Kiev and Poland and the dementia patient in chief. If WW3 actually pops off (which I personally doubt will, but am bracing myself because no one really knows what's going to happen), I think it'll be a reversal of the 60's in the US, like this time the left will support the war while the right will be against it.

It'd also be a lot worse for the US too. Back in the 60s, we had the manufacturing base and sufficient belief in nationalism to support a war effort. Now? Assuming metal factories like the one on Ohio don't blow up, there's no desire to rebuild that kind of infrastructure when government regulation plus the attractiveness of overseas labor made building domestically unfavorable. Decades of being taught America is guilty of colonialism and 20 years of stupid wars have killed patriotic fervor. So the US will start with bad morale,* not end with it. The US will have to use its own stockpiles and since fancy Raytheon arms like the Javelin take a long time to replenish, the US would have a tech edge for about a year or two in a conventional war before either running low on ordinance or Russia adapts and overcomes. I don't even think China can continue to fence-sit and has to decide who to help and it'll probably be Russia because Russia is the junior partner in their alliance and it helps consolidate their own energy concerns. If they side with the US, they have to tolerate the US's status quo of schizoid-diplomacy.

Worse, the win condition the US set for itself is "regime change," meaning that even if Putin is taken out, Russia basically turns into Iraq and that is an absolute intolerable mess for the rest of the world. We don't need more Slav slapfights bombing arable land and heavy industries. I haven't even factored in nuclear weapons. Suffice it to say a bunch of rogue Slav states with nuclear weapons is NOT conductive to any form of peace.

*Trump is literally the only person today that can inspire people to not think a BS war is a BS war. I can't think of a single other politician that can do that.

Nuland in an interview said recently, once Russia is defeated in Ukraine, the Russian population would rise up and take out Putin. I think she's talking out her ass. Likely the scenario would be, if Russia was defeated in Ukraine, it would allow an opening for Ukrainian NATO/CIA trained guys to go in and perform a coup under the cover of a "civilian uprising".

Probably similar to Iran back in the 70's

Who ARE these people?

People who belong to the right families, who went to the right schools, who said the right things at the right times to the right people and won the blessings of the real elites of the world. The people who actually make the decisions that affect us all.

Seriously check out how many of the Wests political, policy and economic leaders who were all part of the WEF leaders of the future program. Getting into WEF is a golden ticket to wealth, power and the depths of depravity those two things bring.

Cause you don't get into WEF unless they have a sword to hang over your head to ensure control. No loose cannons, no rogue agents. We give you the wealth and power and in exchange you do as we say.

It's a deal 99% of political wanna-bee's would make in a heartbeat. Who care if they're selling out the peoples of the world..they get everything they ever dreamed of and all they have to do is betray some stupid plebs who they already don't give a shit about.

It's a no brainer

McCarthy was right but led astray by his own ego and commies themselves being very good at deception. Declassified docs from after the USSR fell show how much infiltration there was in the west and how many targets McCarthy correctly identified, but he also got a bunch of things wrong and the commies were happy to use that to sow confusion and use his failures to discredit anyone who would look for their infiltration.

It is unfortunate that the greatest enemy of Communist infiltration the nation had was an alcoholic with PTSD. A sober, less suggestible and more emotionally stable and judicious McCarthy would have led to a victory rather than defeat.

The funny thing is, both Jacinda Ardern(NZ) and Zelensky(UA), were both filmed walking into a press conference as if they just finish a line of coke. Guess who both have WEF profiles? Sanna Marin(FI) was filmed at a party where people talked of cocaine in the background. Another WEF member.

I doubt a better temperment among the anti-communists would have been more effective. These swine had worked their way into the media by that point and they would lie to cover up and gleefully promote psychopaths like Stalin making excuses for their barbarism at every turn. See: The aforementioned Upton Sinclair who made open excuses for the massacre of millions, see also Duranty and the New York Times. As much as I may not agree with her ideology or as a person Ayn Rand was right about one thing in an absolute sense when she testified to HUAC. Communism is not a civil ideology, it is a criminal one. It should not under any circumstances be allowed a single pebble to stand upon. You cannot trust a communist no matter how genial they may appear. It is a vipers pit of pure evil and anti-human psychopathy and anyone who professes any sympathy for it should invariably be put down.

Someone has to pick up the Bobby Jindal grift now that he's retired. Poos have a lot of money and love giving it to also-rans in order to represent the race.

It doesn't say foreigners can't run for President it just says they aren't eligible for the office.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

It is un-American to tell a foreigner he can't run for President.
