He threatens to invade places like Greenland or Canada because it normalizes what Russia did to Ukraine.

The only reason he doesn’t invade them is because he thinks he wouldn’t survive the politics of doing so back home.

Perhaps near the end of hos “term” he’ll try something then site the conflict as to why the US isn’t going to have an election.

… he’ll point to Zelensky and say “so it’s fine when he postpones elections for a war, but not me?” - Russia might hack a few things to give his claims of election insecurity appear valid.

“We can’t hold elections due to the fact we’re under martial law, and due to the hackers from the other side, and due to the on going conflict. For these reasons and more, the election is being postponed.” - Donald Trump, 2028

War is a constant in the world. World War is a different thing, and the meme says WWIII.

I don’t think so, Russia/China getting what they want (the degredation of America) is more likely to avoid war. However it is one of the strongest signs yet that America won’t be the main superpower when Trump “leaves office”.

At best, should a responsible/intelligent leader return one day, there will be a protracted period of cold war like tensions and instability, as there has been before.

However recent events do seem to indicate that America’s decline is rapidly accelerating.

I mean, I thought we all were goven that Freud’s original definition was something along the lines of “an object that must be present in order for the patient to reach orgasm”.

Nah, little/big tits are character traits that span multiple races so they’re probably going to be fetishized more broadly just by virtue of that.

So here we might need another dimension. I’d call it depth or thoroughness. The idea of submissive asian women might be more thorough in its fetishized details, but probably isn’t as broadly as things like tit size.

Where’s the line, like initial attraction is kind of - by definition always limited in it’s understanding of “the other”… Whether that’s a woman finding a fatherly figure attractive, or a gay guy finding a bear attractive, or someone finding an Irish accent hot…

They’re all empty slates we project onto, it’s only later that we learn about the human beyond those characteristics. Then we find out they’re kind of a horrible person, and that’s the end of that.

Still funny 74 years on.

Yep, and this cartoon feels like America would keep voting for this stupid fascist stuff as long as they keep promising the Libertarian ideal of lower and lower taxes.

Americans trained to defund America, the enemy was inside all along.

…and cut the 9/11 survivors fund!

Y’all need high ranking military officers to get men to pledge to their command then make a splinter group that will comandeer vehicles and equipment and march on Washington. Try to take the capital in a non-violent coup. Preferably immediately celebrated by a colour revolution.

Trump and Musk literally got regular phone mentoring on how to do what they’re doing (shape and install an official Oligarchy). You don’t need to create an information space when the participants are willingly taking direct lessons and coaching from Putin.

Don’t forget to take the blue pill for later, it will help with the come down from the red one… And it’s also free transport home!

Memento mori.

Dang, Norway and Sweden are doing great things.

I’m not the President, and I need to go away.

Mark my words, he’ll become the world’s first trillionaire by way of embezzling from the government. He’s always been a grifter.

Also, Grimes is disgusting for not only having three children with him, but for writing a song “We appreciate power” when they first started up. A truly disgusting display on her part.

We don’t have any a political alternative outside of what is a mix of Oligarchy and RealPolitik. Never have done, never will do.

Some social disguises of the system appear either less harmful or more appealing to the public, but it’s all the same chieftain system we’ve always had, and always will have, regardless of the legalese we describe it with…

…because raw political power derived from a mix of status, wealth, and pragmatic circumstance is always and will always be above the law. That’s a definitive aspect of being able to construct such systems or change the disguises we clothe them in (eg. the legalese and hence appearances/perceptions).

Political change, progress, these are the illusions that always dissolve, leaving the same consistent “true” system to be revealed. All changes in any practical sense were the willing choices of the powerful, always simply to perpetuate personal power.

How handy.

Russia wants rare earths in the two regions it’s declared, and has hinted at wanting to invade Moldova (Odesa being a longterm interest for Russia)… It also wants Sebastopol obviously for the naval port that doesn’t freeze over. But there’s Zero chance they could go up against Europe collectively, not without China at least, and they’re not as into the idea.

But I think you’re being hyperbolic if you think the US will collapse in such a short time fram (Rome took at least a century), or that WW3 is going to arrive in Europe anytime soon. We’re still multiple highly unlikely geopolitical maneuvers away from that.

It’s consolidation. At worst it’s preparation for China’s 2030 push (and that’s not a sure thing either, have to see what happens in the US in 2028 before we get to finding more out about that).

“Western Society?”

Says Australia, Canada, and the UK, with their leftwing governments.
