What are you worried about? Russia isn't going to do anything to him so are you worried about Ukraine?

I think zalinsky (not him personally, but his goons) or some nutter europeon would do something. If they take trump down then the brakes that are stopping the war that they want so much will be removed. Even better if they could blame the disaster on russia. I'm skitzo-ing out, of course, but I just don't like the risk. 🤷‍♂️

They've been having a bad time for a while, the ongoing correction of their housing market has been internally brutal. But the only thing to fear of a new coronavirus is another over the fucking top government response, and after last time, most countries will probably think twice. Maybe Europe will shit the bed again, but I don't really think any other nations can actually afford to go full retard a second time.

Trump is going to moscow to meet with putin soon. I don't like that. That's not a secure area at all. Just talk over the damned phone or something dudes.

It’s a ballsy move, though. I don’t personally think he’s in danger from anyone but our own team and china

Optics for redditards is “lol of course he’s safe WITH HIS REAL BOSS” but who gives a fuck anymore

@Kuritan Deplorable

From what I’ve heard, they have 80 million surplus apartments, though that number could include a shit ton of uninhabitable ones from bad concrete pours. Also, their population is wildly over counted and is closer to 1 billion flat, which would make India almost 40% higher than them

The real estate shit that is imploding accounted for something north of 30% of GDP

They can't touch Putin, they're not going to be able to touch a visiting US president who will be protected by the US and Russia. If Trump dies in Moscow shit would go down in a bad way for everyone.

"How is this legal? I have bills, I have responsibilities..."
The accusations that government jobs are just in-person welfare are getting stronger every day.
How is it legal to size down when a company (in this case government department) is over budget and needs to cut back costs? What a stupid question.
These retarded feds actually think it's the responsibility of the government to keep them employed and paid even if they're hurting the country by doing so.

To play devil’s advocate: a high level visit from a head of state to an adversarial nation hasn’t happened for quite a while.

I loathe the idea of Nixon visiting China in 1972 since he legitimised Mao during the height of the Cultural Revolution, but the intent of Trump visiting Moscow could be along similar lines: visiting an adversary for the sake of negotiations and alienating another adversarial ally.

Russia isn’t deep in the throes of an anarchist period like China was during Nixon’s visit. Social and political problems still exist, but Russia is far more stable than China was at that same time period.

If Trump can get Putin to abandon China during such a high level visit, that would be a massive boon. I’d argue Trump visiting China would be much more contentious because China is openly hostile to the USA, whereas Russia is more open to negotiations.

This is why they thought they were on the same team as ALL unions.

The midwit retard fed thinks “unions like me, so the gravy train goes forever.”

Never a thought about how a union representing semi sentient fed cockroaches is an abomination against nature because the people paying them, as in us, the governed that they’re supposed to work for, have no direct ability to negotiate their shit and hate them for it. And we hate their union for daring to exist
