It's a fact. Yeah, the mainstream media and US state department are ideologues trapped in 1995 era delusions. Remember this? Trump, his FP advisor, and Vivek's viewpoint is that the US should de-couple from China economically and prevent Russia from jumping further into China's arms (too late) both economically and militarily (too late..) by ending the war in Ukraine. Now there is a constantly growing military & economic alliance (China-Russia-NK-Iran) due to the war. China is surging equipment sales to Russia to help war effort in Ukraine, US intelligence finds | AP News Basically the world is sleepwalking into more massive economic and military conflict with the extreme stupidity/insanity of the Biden administration & NATO. The Biden family has economic interests in Ukraine and so do many US financial institutions like Blackrock that they like to keep quiet about...
April 15, 20241 yr Author The New "Civil War" film's final act is aimed at controversy- instead of Jan 6th, the 'rebels' Spoiler storm DC and kill POTUS
April 16, 20241 yr Author The whole premise that California & Texas unite to attack DC doesn't make any sense too. It appears (I also skimmed the film's cam rip) that the movie treads softly on the concept and is pretty shallow. The civil war idea is very undeveloped in the film. This whole concept of US civil war was better tacked in the comic series DMZ (also a short-lived series). It has huge potential as we now know the key factors (ideological, regional, and cultural) dividing the country. An objective (non-political and historical) and highly informed writer could make something huge about it. I am surprised that Drinker can splice together so much footage from the film and not get a copyright strike.
April 19, 20241 yr Author Was Joe Biden's uncle eaten by cannibals during World War II? (usatoday.com) Biden's telling differed from an account published by the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, which says Biden's uncle, Ambrose Finnegan, and two other men "failed to emerge from the sinking wreck and were lost in the crash."
April 30, 20241 yr Author Donald Trump TIME Interview on 2024 Transcript: Read | TIME "Over the course of the interviews, Trump discussed his agenda for a second term, which includes deporting millions of people, cutting the U.S. civil service, and intervening more directly in Justice Department prosecutions than his predecessors. He also discussed his thinking on other issues, including abortion, crime, trade, Ukraine, Israel, and the prospects for political violence in this election cycle."

I have the feeling everything is "extreme" these days especially when it comes to politics no matter "right" or "left" and those in between don't know what to do or who to vote so they won't vote at all what is another way to doom the world. Just result into the extremism with doing absolutely nothing. Also a form of extreme imo.

Just result into the extremism with doing absolutely nothing. Also a form of extreme imo. "Moderates", "centrists". They are not necessarily inactive. My point of view was that, as a non-american, I cannot objectively assume who will win this US election. And that an objective assumption can be made by those americans who do not fiercely adhere to any of the sides. It's logical that the far-right will say "Trump" and the far-left will say "Biden", isn't it?

That's why I wondered what all the others (moderates, centrists, minorities, immigrants, natives etc) will vote in this kind of situation where you don't really have a "good" choice. Must be hella frustrating.

July 16, 20241 yr Author @Jade Bahr @Lilja K The US is a kleptocracy with the population enjoying low credibility of the federal government & mainstream media. Historically only about 60% of the electorate cares about politics enough to vote for the president, trust in the mainstream media is extremely low, about 30% according to polls. Living standards for the poor and middle class have degraded every year while billionaires and the rich own most of the wealth in this country. The poorly paid jobs, massive inflation and tax hikes since COVID-19 has been ruinous which is a key thing going against the Democrats. (among other lessor issues, like poor quality foreign policy) The political positions taken by candidates are not based on 'real beliefs', but what their constituents (the people who pay them through corruption and campaign contributions, lobbying, saying things that people like to hear...) want.

I mean is he making things better for you guys in the US? All we hear in europe is that this man is a crazy dangerous racist misogynistic criminal.
