US Politics

The traditional thing to do when the economy is crumbling and instability is rising would be to start a nice little foreign war to unite the country behind one's regime, of course

and blame it all on minorities, obv

War you say

Trump was bought by Russia long ago.

Unfortunately his base know very little about the outside world. Most get their information solely from Fox and Twitter.
Literacy rates in America are shocking.
America is quickly becoming a feudal society.

Why do you hate freedom?
God damned liberal!!

(And so on and so forth)

Culture war! Without even leaving the couch.

It’s the trans folks’/liberals/elites/women’s fault.

US much vaunted army might even stand a chance of breaking their losing streak in that one.

Holy FUCK, never realised it was that bad

The US kept only the northern half of Mexico in the 1800s because they failed to eliminate guerrillas south of the current border. The Mexican Govt itself struggles to keep things in check using every tool available to them. There’s zero chance a US invasion would result in a traditional victory for the US, if a victory is possible at all.

Canada is a bit safer from invasion because 1) historically white population [sorry, native Canadians], and 2) it would piss off the US’ most vital other allies: the UK in Europe, and Australia and New Zealand in South Asia. All 4 occupy crucial positions to counter geopolitical threats, and all 4 have fallen in behind the US for ≈ a century.

That said, the Trojans took in that horse and the UK lost Singapore to a bunch of cyclists, so clearly country-changing mistakes can be made.

Is that what @dammit is doing there?

He’s going to run out of space for A-N-K-E-R-S

-T-F

is all that is needed, shirley?

Tbf it's a bit LLL

Good paint coverage there. He might get away with one coat.

I was thinking the same thing. Definitely not Farrow & Ball.

Make America Grey Again!

As Marco Rubio said this week, the world is no longer unipolar and so America needs to change how it behaves in the world and recognise that multipolar reality

Seems they recognise that are in to managed decline or stabilising decline

Is that what @dammit is doing there?

Don’t know them well enough (i.e., at all) to banter, but yes.

I kind of want him to just use his bigly masculine energy and stick 50% tariffs on every country just to watch the fallout...

It feels like we are living through historic stupidity. Even Dubya's invasion of Iraq seems intelligent by comparison. It ought to just be a dream, but when you wake up and check the headlines...

Is that a picture of Trump painting himself into a corner? He’s going to war against the FBI.
Re the tariffs, he has been so obnoxious that he can’t back down without looking weak. Tariffs are staying no matter how much damage they do.
Magats are more interested in hurting others than helping themselves.

He's not going to war with the FBI he's gutting them.

Which agency is the one that pops the president if they feel threatened?

The DMV

The war's over and he won. The FBI/justice system had a crack at him between 2020 - 2024 and lost. They aren't going to get a second chance. Agree with your last sentence though.
