In an ideal philosopher-king totalitarian state run by Plato, we shouldn't give terrorists any rights, but unfortunately our government is full of people who hate and fear us, and will happily apply any label they want to us if it allows them to use state power against us. This kind of logic is the reason we have to live with the Patriot act and full NSA snooping of all our traffic for the rest of our lives. You can always find someone willing to define your views as being extremist, especially if you are any kind of patriot, nationalist, isolationist, or basically on the right wing spectrum. The US just spent the last four years calling its own heritage population the premier domestic terror threat.
Here’s how I view it: in wartime there’s special rules in place. People can be drafted and then they may be required to kill children by law! So wartime is a lot different than peacetime. Having fucking actual terrorists moving among us is worse than being openly at war. You are automatically at a disadvantage.
So yeah I literally want my government to execute people who wave the ISIS flag. Terrorists always strike when people are at their most AMERICAN. When they’re grilling, dancing, playing, having fun.
Any kind of physical proof that you have helped bring that about, should result in excecution. And I don’t think it’s that controversial to say.
 
It's hard for me to take her seriously when her distaste for Scandinavian culture stems from racial hatred. Could she have a cohrent thought without dumbing it down with swears and buzzword slang? She is not above playing the race card herself without the awareness that her actions and attitude are are the cause of her interactions.

What the hell is this?
What the hell that is? Even AI can tell. It is a monkey in a dress.

Chips are fucked. Even if we discount politics, they are 1 earthquake away from catastrophe, to save a few shekels.

Thats some Sauron vs Saruman level fuckery
The president is still my Duda
This is all part of the "fight counterfeiting" but is really just the eternal march towards constantly monitored payments via electronic means.
yeah, it was also just in 1964 that they killed off the “silver certificate.”

Not sure if you know about them, but it was essentially the same form of fiat paper dollars widely circulated, except they said “silver certificate” across the top and were redeemable for their face value in silver.
 
I would think "soft power" would mean that America is the center of the world relative to culture, consumer/spending power and influence. Example: you see all these "save the world" or diasaster films, the majority of them center around America being the hero.
Oh wow. The world enjoys iPhones and the world ending movies takes place in New York, and for some reason people speak in Ebonics in foreign lands. Such power.
 
I dunno if that's often overlooked. Every lib who's read Jared Diamond will talk your ear off about how Africa is only less developed than Europe because rivers. It's the preferred explanation, you might say.
ive always heard it was the lack of beasts of burden like cows, ox and horses. american indians never had any use for wheels because they didnt have any animals that could pull a cart until the white man came along.

When America had soft power, it was based on the perception that we were the globe’s foremost advocates of freedom.

What globohomo has done, of which the face used to be neocons and now is democrats, was to replace “freedom” as our core value with “democracy.”

Now we fight around the globe in the name of “democracy” instead of freedom. You’re not supposed to notice there’s a difference between them
 
Immediately back to Zelensky posting right after the janny note lol.
You can post about JD Vance, and about the interview. Zelensky should be mentioned only where needed. That doesn't mean that he is to be excluded at all times.

In other words, Zelensky saying (to the media) "lmao, no peace with Russia" is not fine, but Trump retweeting his words and calling him a dumb retard (see below) is fine (in so far as you don't start sperging about the merits of the war, and what not)

I would prefer this not be posted as well, but Trump picking fights with foreign leaders is undeniably on topic.
 
Europe does whatever the American government cares to make it do. We can't sell our cars there because the American government doesn't give a fuck about auto workers. We can, however, make them have Black Lives Matter protests and worship George Floyd. It's just a matter of priorities.
That's exactly it. For the most part we get the worst parts of American culture, like outside of NATO we get pretty much the bad shit. BLM? we get that. Trans shit? we get that. Shit TV? we get that. Shit Music? we get that.
 
womp womp

Whole thing is set to fall apart spectacualrly if even 1 part of global trade breaks down, I admire donnys spunk to try but so many parts of this are national security interests for their respective nations and nothing short of full blown invasion will get them to put ANY other country ahead of their own in that regard
If I'm Dutch owner of that company and I tell Taiwan to not deal with the US anymore if they want their machines; Trump shows up the next day, gives them a bag of money, and tell them to shut my fucking face or they throw gibs at Taiwan until they dump me for Intel and bankrupt my Dutch company.

Its tough when the big guy himself is ignoring board rules, did no one send trump your post? lmao sorry just poking a little fun, its such a wild environment things change from day to day by so much, by tomorrow we could have dissolved nato and entered into a Molotov–Rubio Pact of friendship and peace

The french are so lame they are making him look good while trying to paint him as a "tyrant" or whatever they are saying, I dont know, I dont speak surrender.
To be fair to the French, Le Point is a Parisian magazine. Paris is highly concentrated globohomo. The rest of France is very different. They might as well be different countries - it's to the point that the rest of France hates Paris.

I’m struggling to understand how Zelensky isn’t relevant to US politics given the happenings of the past week.

Can you elaborate further? If Zelensky were to continue being an autist in a way that affects US policy or diplomacy shouldn’t that be on topic even if Trump doesn’t respond directly on X?

Please believe me, it’s absolutely necessary to call him a short faggot.

My evidence is that he met with the democrats immediately before his White House meeting and willingly played water boy for them and globohomo inc. in an attempt to intentionally embarrass Trump.

The result is that he essentially stated the war cannot end unless the United States puts soldiers on the ground AND gets them back all the territory they lost. He REQUIRES world war 3, he’s not just gambling with it.

I’m not sure if he’s actually smart enough to understand that’s the message he carried.

On the other side, Trump absolutely has picked up that this peace process is a fantastic opportunity to exploit the dischord between Russia and China, and to fracture the core of BRICS along with kicking out one of China’s legs.

What’s the basis of my claim that this dischord exists? China has big ouchies in their feels because Russia doesn’t like them

I know you're asking staff and not me, so I should probably shut up, but when the thread got locked last time it's because it was pages and pages about Russia Ukraine Putin Zelensky, all due to that one blowup meeting in the oval office. All the war talk that followed in the thread was drowning out anything new that was happening in US politics.
