pretty late
first of all, the issue itself is reframed in such a way that it makes these trans people assessed in terms of cost/liability
secondly, the opposition is now forced to defend these trans people within that frame
thirdly, the suddenness and enormity of the declaration catches the opposition off guard and on the wrong footing
they are liable to make mistakes
extreme mistakes, fake Trump beheading style
in terms of practical effect, this is a VERY small issue
transmutants are a vanishing minority and military transmutants even more so
ARE THEY REAL
THE SHEETS
That's a good analysis
I checked up on neogaf to see their arguments
the number 1 was "the cost is actually pretty small"
just a few million dollars
I'm sure that will work out well for them
oh forgot one bit
this issue will now utterly dominate the news
you get two variations on Trump: total idiot/loose cannon or 4d chess
but really he plays a schoolyard, hindbrain level game
shit
DNC getting a swirlie: "Please Mr. President Trump, stop winning!"
He gets the timing and how to attack where not expected
on an instinctive level
yeah, and twitter is a deadly weapon in his hands
there was an article somewhere in the mainstream media about Trump's history
and all the episodes mentioned have one thing in common
The amount of apoplexy from one-off tweets is astounding. Even for the owners of twitter bots.
his enemies considered him boorish and "impossible", almost refusing to believe he was anything worth considering
and in the end all of them were left blindsided and lost
Trump is still beholden to the deep state, as you can see in "his" foregin policy
like the recent lets-give-arms-to-Ukraine hilarity
but it seems he gets free reign essentially at home
any prediction on how the Iran/Russia/NK situation may unfold over the next few days? Seems like a lot of things up in the air on that front
next few days? Nothing I would think
over a longer term, there is a real chance NK may experience an attack
as deep state would want to do something there
they have simple thinking too
increase America's sphere of influence
they are playing a longer game than the terms of presidents
