Been sayin' since the 90s that the 21st is China's century. Didn't expect an American President to put his foot on the fucking gas to get there.

More of a "back the fuck up" thing:

"Donald Trump spent Thursday lavishing praise on Xi Jinping, while the Chinese leader used his visit to the White House to deliver a power move with a warning for America to stay in its lane.

In front of Trump, and for the second time in four months, Xi urged the two countries to avoid the so-called "Thucydides Trap"—the historical theory that tensions between a rising power and an established one can spiral into war."

True, but it's far too late to mobilize that sort of force for a serious offensive. Like we're not already spread thin in the Gulf of Hormuz and running out of defensive interceptors. 🙄

He will but at least now Congress might stop him

So, a woman posts a video of a man she's secretly recorded while having sex and everyone is like, "Ha ha, classic!"...

Can’t go wrong with the classics!

Truly the American pope working so shortly after a surgery

Because religion / faith is an easy tool to use to manipulate people to your bidding.

Possibly most damning of the sycophants is how they don't even try to help him look better. When Reagan was showing signs of Alzheimer's and not really able to be in public without looking the fool, his cronies tried to keep him out of the limelight and away from my public eye. With Trump we get to watch the senility drive. I want to no longer be embarrassed by my country...

Good policy requires changing public opinions. Too many people who think nothing of dumping waste in the river

Ah the Honeypot. An oldie, but a goody.

The two what? Her and the only other person mentioned in the headline??

China, at least, has to be thrilled. Trump ceded so many economic sectors to China. EVs, solar power, nuclear power, among others

Not only that, but his war on Iran pushed the world towards those technologies much faster than it otherwise would have

Trump only really gave Putin a bit more time to draw out his war on Ukraine

European leaders have firmly rejected any attempt by the United States and Russia to reshape the continent’s security architecture without their involvement, following President Donald Trump’s suggestion that Washington could be nearing a sweeping agreement with Moscow extending beyond Ukraine to encompass all of Europe.

The remarks, made by Trump on Thursday, have raised fresh concerns among Washington’s European allies that the US administration could be moving towards a security arrangement that accommodates Russian President Vladimir Putin’s long-standing demands at the expense of European interests.

I think Iran probably has a right to defend itself when you start bombing the shit out of them. Where that intelligence and weapons come from is mostly irrelevant.

The US has profited from arming and supplying both sides of wars deliberately before, remember the Iran-Iraq war, or the Peru-Equador war?

International politics is a little bit more complicated than just not talking to or working with other countries because of a bit of a squabble. The US doesn't even want to be in Iran, they're only there because Israel has them by the balls Epstein files

Realistically it's more like 100 support Israel, 100 vehemently oppose it, and 200 just play along with whatever the leader says to not get kicked out of the party.

Isn't the current president of Columbia a Narco Lawyer?

Didn't Xi insult him to his face and he was too thick to realize it?

Because that's just faith.

Not until January.

Sounds like there's no details and it's a refutation of the entire concept.

The initiative has immediately drawn objections from European officials, who insist that the continent’s security arrangements are already established and cannot be renegotiated over their heads.

At least now the US has a house and senate that might actually do their job and act as a check on unfettered executive power.

This whole presidenture would be so hilarious is he couldn't do any damage to other people and our allies.

I bet Russians and Chinese laughing out loud how he is destroying the West.

I'm glad that EU stopped with trying to please him. That never worked.

God, Trump is so excited about this too. Every time he talks about it I get this sinking feeling like he's going to order the US military to side with Russia over Europe and Ukraine.
