How lucky are we that trump decided to run

very

Also @Beemann bad advice is worse than no advice you're wrong I'm right fuck off.

When the Dalai Lama has leftists calling him an alt-right figurehead, it's probably a good sign that the left is full of crazy people who are so far detatched from reality that they don't deserve a say in anything.
I would barely trust people like that to be able to wipe their own asses anymore.

That feel when Saudi Arabia is in your Human Rights counsel.

Hilary would have declared war on Russia by now

Oh definitely

UN is a toilet

I don’t understand the Russia hysteria tbh

I feel like we should try to rope them in to an extent

Because they have no reason to align with China and the EU

oh, I can explain that @W1NT3R1SC0MING , I've got a great metaphor for it.

Everyone needs a big bad, and Trump has an expiration date

Russia is eternal

Russia celebrated when Trump won

And why?

Because Hillary would've meant war.

Exactly

She wanted a no fly zone over Syria she’s crazy

Probably still does

Imagine you've got a group of mob thugs who wandered out and shot someone in cold blood, and the only witnesses were a few shady drug dealers (nonviolent, soft drugs), so when you get to court, the defense is "Well their testimony doesn't count because they're filthy drug dealers!"

That's Hillary's defense (and now the entire left's defense) against Russia.

Not "I didn't do these crimes the Russian leaks accused me of", just "It doesn't count BECAUSE it was the RUSSIANS! who leaked it!"

I've noticed that Russian people, not the government, actually seem to like the US. That might be skewed though by the fact that the interviews I see are in English.

Well they also just aren’t a threat. Its quite a poor country and it’s effectively a paper tiger at this point

The problem is that the left realizes they're their own worst enemy. The public hates the extreme left and would gladly watch them all burn in a fire. So the only way they can justify themselves is to manufacture a bad guy who is worse than they are.

Do you guys think the left in American likes China? I get the feeling they admire how China does things.

What part of it?

Yeah they probably do honestly

It's Syndrome from The Incredibles. At some point, they did want to fight to be a hero and for the good of all. Then times changed, villains were no longer a thing, the heroes went away. But Syndrome still wants to be a Hero, except now the only way to do it is to create a new bad guy. Someone who is, in the public eye, worse than he is.

I mean trump admires china, too.

oh you think commies like commies? kek

Because they are the definition of an authoritarian nanny state

right.

Which the left tends to love

They admire things like the social credit system.

@Redneo Complete social control= No racism, sexism, etc.

That is disturbing to me

right. Got to say, in some areas the chinese got one over of the US

for instance, china is doing great in their fight against and more importantly their development of commercialy viable solutions to climate change

That social credit system creeps me out. I took a tour there before the olympics and I could tell the tour guides though hard about some of things they said when I was just talking to them.

Yeah and the US is sticking to fossil fuels for some reason

Thats before the system existed to.
