This is like giving two chimpanzees an America and Chinese manufactured gun respectively, and extrapolating analysis off those encounters. I know that sounds like racism (it is) but I'm also talking about things like training and tactics.
Actually that works perfectly as a metaphor since everyone here was watching the conflict like it was two chimpanzees with guns lol
 
I once grew up with a friend whose dad was an Afrikaner out of the West Cape. He loved the outdoors, worked a bluecollar job, loved his family, and was incredibly grateful he got to live in and contribute to his adopted nation. I've known far more spic and jeet immigrants than I have Afrikaner immigrants, and almost none of them have had the level of respect and appreciation this guy had for this country. Every jeet and spic you talk to holds America in contempt for one reason or another, whether it be perceived racism or how white people are the devil because we somehow exploited their countries some arbitrary time ago. I hope more Afrikaners come, because even if they're not even an 1/8th as patriotic as my friend's dad, they'd still have far more respect and actual gratitude for this county than your average jeet.
 
Part of me thinks that Duterte is rotting in the Hague because he had the balls to give drug dealers the treatment they so richly deserve. Can't go showing people that mass addiction and drug trafficking is something that the people in power want.

I saw some recent news that Duterte won a mayors election even though he is at the Haugue.

So his son is going to serve in his stead.

As far as drugs go, there was the Opium War which led to the Chinks rebelling hard.

And China got destroyed and conquered by a giant coalition of Western countries plus Japan.

China seen first hand what the West did with drugs and they usually take a long term view.
 
This is really wrong. Junkies often target their families first.
100%. Both my brothers were junkies (who both eventually died from overdoses). It was well known in the house to NEVER leave anything out - especially jewelry. One time during Christmas dinner, one of my brothers even stole all my sister's money out of her purse and no one ever saw it even though her purse was in the living room sitting on the stairs while we all sat within view of it, eating dinner. The only giveaway being that my mother remembered my brother sitting on the stairs at one point while the family was talking.

Another time we came home and the house was ransacked. Window in the kitchen was broken. Assuming we were robbed, we called the police. Shortly after they came, they pointed out to my mother that the window in the kitchen was broken OUT instead of in, so the glass was in the driveway indicating that whoever broke the window was in the house and not outside. I never saw my mother look so embarrassed as she apologized to the police and told them to forget it, that her son was a junkie and he obviously ransacked the house, after she was made aware of the fact about the window. Crazy times.
 
Just for context, he is talking about a story in which a 13 year old boy was raped by a 35 -year-old teache

*sigh* Let's get this out of the way...

Alright, so there still exists a power differential, so it's never a matter of a young boy "getting some" from their older teacher--it's a matter of the teacher ignoring and taking advantage of the position they're in to gratify themselves, regardless of the fact that the gulf between instructor and pupil exists for a reason, and crossing it risks all kinds of long-term damage to the younger and far more ignorant of the two.

No no, China at some point realized that their Soviet copies of shit were inferior, and decided to start making inferior copies of American shit

All the J series are wanna be American designs, but with shitty engines, bad radars, and Chinese quality stealth coating

Why India is fucking up is because they’re running 4th gen FRENCH fighters.. mirages and rafales

It was an IF statement dude
My engrish so bad me so sorry but for gods sake check it against context. I’m at work and typing in the seconds I have between tasks

Edit: sorry doublepost 😞

Edit edit: of course junkies steal from their families. I was saying their families are less likely to shoot them for it
 
Fixing it means ending institutional anti-white-male discrimination across all levels of government and business, and then taking 10 years to hire and train a new core of competent white males, from the factory to the R&D teams, but I'm not holding my breath.
First off, we'd need to repeal the civil rights act. Or just the section of it that deals with freedom of association.

Have the GOP go about, saying the civil rights act needs to be destroyed. Then wait for the outrage from the left. Then walk back to the position of "ok, we're gonna repeal just the part about the freedom of association." Art of the deal, baby.
 
Here's some more good news

Remember that judge that got in ICE's face and helped that illegal alien skedaddle out of the back of her courtroom?

Well she's now been officially indicted for:

on charges of concealing a person from arrest and obstruction of proceedings

She faces up to 6 years per charge and Bondi has said they will seek to hold her "accountable" which means (hopefully) more then just a slap on the wrist. With luck the Trump team will see this as an opportunity to send a message to all the activist judges who think their black robes make them untouchable.

Sentence her to the max and let her sit in a minimum security cell for 10 years as a warning to those who think just because "they're on the right side of history" the law doesn't apply to them. A lot of this shit will dry up when the Proggies realize that they can't rely on a friendly justice system to get them out of trouble while they go about their masters business. Every time they go out to "fight the system" they now have to deal with actual consequences of their actions.

Must be a terrible shock to the system for these Proggies who've had their asses covered for the last few decades to be suddenly arrested and held and OMG charged for the shit they pull.
 
So Bluesky Democrats are sperging out over some Mayoral Race in Omaha because a democrat won and this totally proves that Drumpf is finished and people totally love troons.

Of course they'll ignore the fact that it was a low-level low-interest election that Reid Hoffman and other billionaires poured money into so they could get the Democrat over the finish line. It also so happens that Omaha is where Berkshire Hathaway is headquartered in, so very likely that Warren Buffett and/or other figures in the company were pouring money to the democrat as well.
 
I don't know if you need a med schedule change, sleep, or both but you've been coming across as very, very strange in a thread full of very strange people. If you can't figure out how important respect is and how it relates to culture in foreign policy, you need to reflect on the prior post that already explained it, and explained it well. You've been ping ponging back and forth so much from TDS to Trump is cool that it's becoming schizo and impossible to take you seriously anymore. Which is too bad because you've had some good posts in the past.

Trump seems to be fighting to bring respect back to the US, both on our own soil and worldwide. While I don't for a single second trust any country to be an ally anymore (including Israel) it's nice to see our head of state getting some respect because in turn it's giving respect to our nation, something that's been lacking for a long, long time.
Alright boss, Ill concede you very emotion laden point, Trump making a comment about his flip flops would have been culturally insensitive (IDK why this is the first time we are pearl clutching on this) but was yelling about Zelensky dress any less "insensitive" persay?

Is it such a mindblowing concept that I evaluate each action of the admin and president individually and can disagree or agree with certain decisions in the moment irregardless of my past understandings?

"But why should you keep your head over your shoulder? Why drag about this corpse of
your memory, lest you contradict somewhat you have stated in this or that public place?
Suppose you should contradict yourself; what then? It seems to be a rule of wisdom never
to rely on your memory alone, scarcely even in acts of pure memory, but to bring the past
for judgment into the thousand-eyed present, and live ever in a new day. In your
metaphysics you have denied personality to the Deity: yet when the devout motions of the
soul come, yield to them heart and life, though they should clothe God with shape and
color. Leave your theory, as Joseph his coat in the hand of the harlot, and flee.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and
philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as
well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words,
and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every
thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then,
to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther,
and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took
flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."
