So assuming that Russia actually does become friendly with the US in the ways that were promised after the end of the Cold War, what do you think Chyyyyyna will do as a response?
Russia wont become that friendly with the USA for a while yet. Because even if they trust Donald Trump they cannot trust on his ability to deliver when there are such powerful entrenched interests in America that still oppose him; or that his successor wont just back out of any agreements.

I saw an interview with Duterte of the Phillipines one time where he said: "I cannot deal with America. Whatever they promise, the next president might just change again. When China promises something, I know they will still be the same next year and the year after."

So Russia will not be letting its guard down soon. Especially after muppets like Merkel blabbed that the Minsk 2 agreement was never intended to be honoured by the West and was just an attempt to buy more time to arm Ukraine. And there's a lot to undo before Russia and the USA can have good trade relations anyway. Western Europe seized Russian assets as well as froze them for a long time and kept the interest. Sanctions would have to be undone... Basically, the question is just too early to be asked. But in the event that it does come about, China would not be happy if Russia started supplying manufactured goods to American citizens. Especially as Russia can probably provide better quality on most things. But they'd likely limit their response to the usual blackmail, bribes and competing on price. The Russian army has just had a very good workout to shake off a lot of the corruption and rust that bogged it down. It needs time to recover, like anybody does after a good workout. But it's going to be in better shape once this is all done with.
 
So our intelligence agencies were basically neutered and staffed by useless proles... I don't even have a response.
It honestly depends on the bureau. Agency wings focused on things like transnational crime don't really fuck around. I think what happened is that there was a huge DEI hiring initiative between 2016 and 2024 which resulted in a lot of do-nothing jobbers who are now on their way out. What DOGE is doing is basically what restructuring consultants do with regular corporations: find useless employees and fire them. The biggest drain on any organization is always payroll, so you eliminate redundancies before you do any serious restructuring. My guess is that DOGE is eliminating redundancies while the proper cabinet secretaries (e.g. Kash Patel, Pete Hegseth) deal with organizational and policy changes.
You used to piss off judges by lying to them. Now you do it so they can cover their own asses. Many such cases. Sad!
All anime. It's the collective output of the repressed Japanese soul damaged by WWII fed back into itself in a never ending loop which is why the earlier stuff SEEMS more sane.
I dunno, man. I watched anime as a kid and then I grew out of it. I cannot account for others.

Sure, but military branch intelligence all cut their dicks off and bought wigs
 
Jewish rabbi opens new 15 billion dollar Kosher Hamburger joint called "Jeffrey Epstein's"
When asked about why it was named after a notorious pedophile, he responded "How dare you, it was named after my father who created the recipe and I take offense to that comparison."
He hopes people will enjoy the restaurants signature dish dubbed "The Client List" which he's partnered with Google to make sure it be tapping dat SEO.


Speaking of Pam Bondi you liar.

Calling them useless undermines the bigger picture.
Want to breed loyalty? Fill needless positions with people who would otherwise struggle to find work on their own, and they will make sure your opponent's always get sabotaged from within.

Everyone screams "COUP!!!" when Trump fires the bureaucratic middlemen, but nobody asked "why" said bureaucratic middlemen were hired in the first place.
 
Here's a hilarious but true thought, Theater nerds kicked out the 4chan nerds out of society to impress the queen bees, then the 4 chan nerds made friends with the bullies, started lifting, learned hard skillsets and came back and are now unleashing full high IQ bullying.
Our current society is literally 4Chan bully nerds bullying the faggot theater nerds out.

"dTrumph and Muskat are such pieces of shit, fattening their bank accounts with all that $$$$. "

My wife showed me her timeline on FB last night, and she showed me the sloppy, lefty bullshit, clickbait. How, some way, Musk and Trump are fattening THEIR bank accounts from stuff like this.
