  1. By the end of this we will have literally no allies besides Israel and Russia (and Russia wants nothing more than for us to cease to exist).
  2. Ironically, Europe actually needs Ukraine. Ukraine has nearly 4M active duty and reserve military personnel and possibly the most advanced unmanned (drone) weaponry programs in the world. They also have, uh, lots of recent experience fighting wars.
  3. We just have to survive the “one time price adjustment” that Secretary Bessent promised us, then everything will be good. In other words - “Inflation is Transitory”
  4. Here is my take on it- Russia and China have never truly been partners. Their historical relationship is competitive, not cooperative. Covertly supporting Moscow’s war effort (while not giving them enough to achieve an actual battlefield victory) was a strategic play to counter US influence. Now that it has become clear that the US is hell-bent on self-immolating, the biggest victory they could achieve would be strengthening their economic and political ties with Europe. If they can present themselves as a stable and sane partner, there’s a lot of money and influence to be gained.
  5. You’re right, but the problem is that eventually you lose control of the narrative when the market decides they can’t trust anything you say. Case in point - another “pause” of Mexican tariffs and “likely pause” of Canadian tariffs drives the market down further. I don’t think that was part of the plan.
  6. The markets fell for the 1-month delay game once. Not anymore.
  7. Europe at this point must know beyond any doubt that they are on their own. The post WWII world order lulled them into a sense of complacency but their people have been fighting wars for many thousands of years. Something tells me they’ll be prepared.
  8. I have no doubt that the outcome of this meeting was planned ahead of time. The goal is to force him out of office as part of a “peace” deal.
  9. This might be the day that Europe finally says “fuck it” and gets directly involved in the war.
  10. WaPo and Politico reporting that federal agencies have been advised that their employees don’t have to comply with the “What did you do last week” email.
  11. I remember him absolutely blowing up a USC WR on a crossing route when he was a freshman. I definitely expected big things out of him. After his shoulder injury he was never the same. He seemed to shy away from contact and eventually gave up on even pursuing the ball carrier.
  12. He was pre-med, no less.
  13. Is there a strategic benefit to resigning other than not being the one who has to carry out the order?
  14. Well at least the people of Gaza won’t fight a war of insurgency and unite the entire Islamic world against. That would be a disaster.
  15. “No new wars”
  16. Last Chance U is the absolute best case scenario at this point.
  17. With that in mind, I think the Rams would seem like an ideal landing spot.
  18. These funds were congressionally approved, no? It seems like any one of these companies could sue and cite the Impoundment Control Act. We are at the point where the “fully faith and credit” of the US government cannot be trusted.
  19. The DOGE team has announced that they are “halting all payments to federal contractors” per Bloomberg.
  20. She only wanted OTHER people to lose essential services! She’s one of the good ones!
  21. If he had just maintained focus on destroying the institutions of American democracy he could have relied on everyone remaining in their Fox News-induced comas. Making the products everyone relies on to live more expensive may actually cause the population to wake up.
  22. Imagine voting for “the largest deportation operation in history” when your father is in the country illegally.
  23. We couldn’t be giving BRICS a better opening if we asked them to design the plan for us. All China has to do is approach our “allies” - Colombia and Mexico for starters - and say, “it seems like there is a lot of political and economic instability in your relations with the US. What would you say to a friendly trade deal, no tariffs? Also, we can cut you a sweet deal on some military equipment if you’d like. All we need is a place to dock our ships and land our planes.”
  24. I’m not going to repost it but one of the prolific posters over there put up a Twitter link saying that “Mexican cartels have threatened to use weaponized drones against Border Patrol and military”. It seems pretty clear we’re setting up for a false flag operation to justify invading Mexico.
  25. Calls into question how they came up with their “baseline” when these numbers, and which countries they would be applied to, were announced before inauguration.
