I don't know who Tucker is interviewing here, but in this 2:21 clip he says something that has been percolating in the back of my mind:
There has been an alignment, the last 3 days, that all point to the fact that Trump is in all but name the next President. Elon and Bill Ackerman very publicly declare unthroated support for Trump. Trump basically tells Biden to give JFK USSS protection, and Biden agrees. Am I crazy? Am I really seeing this?
I'm going to watch the entire interview tomorrow, when it posts, as this looks like an interesting conversation.
Even before these events, there was more and more evidence that the establishment actually wants Trump this time around. Not because he's "their guy," necessarily, but because the Musk/Thiel side of the elite have been gaining traction arguing that there has to be some appeasement to populism before ordinary people's resentment boils over.
I don't see either of these happening. If China can't manage an amphibious assault now with their puppet keeping America in check, it's only going to get harder with Trump in charge. And Europe will calm down once the Democrats' regime change fantasy is taken off the table again.
Yeah, the only way I could see China taking Taiwan is through diplomatic means. Even if China wasn't a paper tiger, Taiwan is only worth taking with their industry intact.
Asians have built bridges grown from trees they shape over a hundred years.
Taiwan is going to return the China, but not after an amphibious assault. They'll just grow closer until one day the tree reaches back the mainland and they're one.
