Maybe that is true in the US (though even that is a bit exaggerated I think), but politicians here do not care about public opinion. Literally zero.
I was surprised that Matt Gaetz was warmongering against China. It looks like we're getting war one way or the other.
As optimistic as always. As far as I can see, they have total power and are now even imprisoning the former president of the US. They may even lure back DeSantis into their fold.
Like they did homosexuals after 2004. But it will be totally fake. They'll say one thing and do another. At the end of the day, unfortunately, the elites will get what they want.
I read that the Biden regime was commanding European countries to not sell chip technology to China. That is fucking our trade. I don't see your nightmare scenarios of Chinese hegemony. China has always been content keeping to itself and its immediate region, like the US before 1918.
How they folded like a cheap suit and killed 68,000 Europeans because MUH RUSSHER BAD surprised even me, and I have a very low opinion of them to begin with. All for American empire. If you command them to recruit 12-year-olds and send them to die against China, they will do it. They're bought and paid for.
That's up to China. We won't fire the 1st shot.
The Elites are SPENDING their power & credibility, thus LOSING it. You can BUILD legitimacy or SPEND it. Lib elites have been spending it like fake Twitter Ukraine war hero James Vasquez spent his donations.
Eventually the bill comes due & the elites are overthrown. Then new elites have to start a legitimacy building phase until they get too arrogant & start spending.
China's ambitions are global. It isn't interested in being the world's sugar daddy like the US. It will be an empire in the true, evil sense. The sense where you post winnie the pooh anonymously in Europe & the local cops kick in your door that night & send you to the gulag.
You won't be able to sell any chips once China copies your designs & floods you with their knockoffs.
Didn't he advocate for invading Cuba if it allowed a Chinese military base?
Ironically, that's the Ukraine issue transferred to the Western continent, except that Ukraine is a far greater threat than Cuba.
I so wish I had your fearless and confident optimism. I don't see any way of overthrowing these elites. An elite, united, has never been overthrown by a revolution.
I can definitely see European leaders being willing (and perhaps even eager) to send their subjects to the gulags for insulting Xi, but I don't see Xi demanding that. Why would he? He demands it in his own possessions, because he's in charge there. He's not in charge in Europe, and won't be. He'll just have good trade relations. And if he gets too arrogant, there's always the Americans, so he won't - because he wants European support. He won't be able to take Europe for granted like the US does. Europe will be the kingmaker - the world hegemon will depend on who we support. Sounds pretty sweet to me.
China isn't nearly as advanced technologically to be able to clone the highly sophisticated technology of ASML. And I don't think Biden is acting in the interests of Europe. He just wants to weaken China at the expense of his slaves.
No, but the US & Europe are in the same boat with China.
