Big D vs Twitter

BTW I think the world is beyond fucked now - I thought Harris would have brought some measure of common-sense, especially regarding NATO, UN, Climate Change and Ukraine but I fear what is going to happen in the next 4 years could be irreversible damage to the world's geopolitical scene.

I'm not convinced that she would have done. Whoever the president is, the US will always act in it's own interest, which is not a specific criticism by the way, because that is what all nations or blocs do.

To a degree. However contrast what Trump did in his last period in office (Russia, NATO, Eco) to what the Democrats have done. He could pull the whole fabric apart at the seams.
 
Yeah but that's because the world is falling apart, China and Europe are double fucked simply by demographics but in China's case the fact that all the food and fuel need to be imported and swapped for goods that are now cheaper to produce in other parts of the world mean it is gonna be fucked at about the same rate as Europe. America gets an extra thirty years because it is a net producer of food and fuel, people are still having kids, and Mexico is right next door with loads of young people on cheap wages.

I hate the odious fuckbag but I understand his policies and why they appeal to Americans. They come at the expense of the rest of the world but he and his followers don't care.

If he just said that's all folks, it's America on its own now you all sort your own shit out, it would be far worse for us than it would be for them.

I think a lot of Americans are pissed re inflation rates and cost of food.
They likely see the amounts of money given elsewhere and think we'll f them we don't need to worry about what's going on over there as it doesn't impact us directly.

Re the second bit, I've read a few bits but not much.
what really would the impact be on American economy if countries manage to remove petrodollar system?

Higher interest rates for borrowing would lead to inflation.
I'd imagine if he really said right you lot sort your own shit out the likes of China/Russia/Brics would take advantage and America would lose money
 
The inflation is a direct result of his policies. Things don't come into fruition overnight. I remember really early into his first go when he was giving all these tax cuts to billionaires and corporations and being asked what do you think about how the economy will be fucked by these things and him saying he didn't care because he wouldn't be in charge when the problems kicked in. Here we are.
 
And his solution to everything will be tariffs. More tariff even to US companies using foreign manufacturing.
If he really does do it, let's see what his supporters think of phones and essential electronics costing 200% more (and if he really means what he says, 1,000%). The economy will be destroyed.
 
So Trump has appointed Mike Waltz as his security adviser and Marco Rubio as Secretary of State – both hawks in Dick Cheney mould. Big disappointment for those who thought Trump was somehow “antiwar.” Good news for Taiwan and probably the best choices Ukraine could hope for.

On the other hand, Elon Musk has been present on the call when Trump talked to at least 2 world leaders, including Zelensky; he is acting as a co-president and while his foreign policy views are generally incoherent, he is likely to bend to China and Russia.

Add his UN pick, Elise stefanik to the list
 
Of Course, you wont find many MAGA republicans qualified for The State Department, DOD or UN positions..he has to pick in the old Republican guard and neo-cons who have a slight idea about foreign policies...

The first divisions will appear very soon, get the popcorn ready and lets bet how long before he fires the first official
 
Yeah well he's doing OK out of it all. Who'd have thought after all those years of smashing out solo after solo he'd make so much more money from arms sales and his share price would be up 46% ytd
 
I know people who move in those circles, I must keep an ear out and find out what mad shit she gets up to.
