This one perplexes me. Our economies HEAVILY rely on China. They need our business. (Okay, the Party aren't the nicest bunch of dudes.) Doesn't it make sense for us to all just get along?
President Trump and US politics catchall
They are extremely agressive do not discount Tibet , Vietnam, the current pattern in south china sea where all the neighbouring countries face an expentionist agenda.Niegs wrote: Sun Jun 22, 2025 3:08 pmThis one perplexes me.

They are aggressively expansionist and responsible for a lot of the cyber-warfare, disinformation, and misinformation targeted at the West through social media.

We're heading for a world where everybody is going to arm themselves to the teeth, ideally nukes because you're not safe otherwise.

That in fairness hasn't changed with this latest, that was already a thing, and certainly confirmed when Trump welched on the deal Ukraine made to surrender their stockpile (or the stockpile that happened to be in Ukraine)Uncle fester wrote: Sun Jun 22, 2025 5:59 pm We're heading for a world where everybody is going to arm themselves to the teeth, ideally nukes because you're not safe otherwise.

A LOT of really serious stuff going down internally in China recently. Purges, power shuffling. Just where the next version of the CCP ends up who knows. But the key issue is that if Xi has his way Taiwan certainly is on the cards - but Xi may not get his way.laurent wrote: Sun Jun 22, 2025 5:43 pmburying their helicopters is next into the list of utterly stupid stuff they have done recently.Uncle fester wrote: Sun Jun 22, 2025 5:41 pmHad a feeling you'd bring this up.laurent wrote: Sun Jun 22, 2025 5:41 pm

To keep this on fred, I don't for a moment think a Trump led US will have any real stomach for a shooting war against a peer foe and the economic fall out.

Can only assume he's trying to butter him up to keep him onside with support for Ukraine, there's not much other explanation for so much kiss-ass. And Rutte uses appropriate language for the manchild...


And the MAGA crew take it all on face value!! You couldn't make it up.

My assumption was that it's a fake text.
In other news of the tango twat, his nobel peace prize nomination has been withdrawn. I'm sure there'll be an imminent Truth Social tanty.

One of the signs of dementia is the use of inappropriate language in social situations.
Pity that he's party to it as well.

To be fair, that language isn't inappropriate.

Does he actually have a valid point, or is it more that he's articulated the frustration so many of us feel for once.

Isreal degrades Iran, US blows up the nuclear facilities (maybe) and then he gets a ceasefire. It’s quite incredible.
