lol Trump the “anti-imperialist.”
“At LeAsT hE’s FrEiNdS wItH pUtIn”
Anyone who thinks Trump is somehow anti war or anti imperialist is clueless. He’s incompetent and sometimes accidentally hurts imperial interests as a result but he definitely loves imperialism
He loves it, but there’s no way he knows the meaning of the word. Just like liberals, tbh.
Even if he was anti-imperialist, he’s not going to successfully challenge the State Department on anything of importance. Sure, he’ll have a totally symbolic meeting with the DPRK, but when he orders troops out of Syria? They just lie to him and say it’s done, and because he doesn’t care and isn’t competent that’s the end of it.
Honestly I envy the people who think he’s anti-war or anti-imperoalist. Every claim in that direction has such a make statements or promises without checking with your staff energy, and I really want to be the person whose professional life is so good they can’t recognize that.
The ”anti-imperialist” who drone striked Soleimani and almost started a war.
His bumbling hurts at least as much as it helps. He also rolled back the modest normalization efforts Obama had done with Iran and Cuba.
He also recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the Golan Heights as part of Israel. The Biden admin could’ve easily rolled back at least some of these, but of course they didn’t.
And he did a some (failed and successful) coups in Latin America
Yeah, he coup’d Bolvia and tried to coup Venezuela and reverted to crippling sanctions on Cuba.
he coup’d Bolvia
And then he failed
I was there. They succeeded for a time. But it was reversed in 2021 or thereabouts.
What? I’m not going to thank Biden for that one just cause the coup failed under his watch.
What matters is that the coups will happen no matter the President and you shouldn’t wantonly pick favorites.
I didn’t say you should thank Biden, in fact I didn’t remember under whose watch the coup failed, I thought it was still under Trump. The coup failed nonetheless.
So if it failed nonetheless, I think it would’ve failed regardless of whether or not Biden or Trump were in office.
I think we agree that neither are better than the other.
I don’t think anyone on this site would say Biden is markedly better than Trump, lol
literally no difference between him and brandon
its either Obama admin ghouls in charge or Bush admin ghouls
yeah
wow I’ve been posting on here this whole time because I heard hexbear loves Trump, do you folx not?
I think he’s funny, and the funniest thing of all would be his execution.
Or Puyi him so we can keep his word salad takes on harmless topics
Just make him a deal at his trial that he can never run for office again, but he gets his Twitter back. There’s a good chance he takes it up.
For the sake of unity, I propose a lottery to determine the person who pulls the cord on the , and will let them make the decision.
A communist revolution rehabbing him and his new self just makes funny comments, hates on conservatism and writes wacky poetry would be possibly the best outcome.
The orange man is in fact, bad.
The ice cream guy is also bad tho

“Four More Wars! Four More Wars”
Any actual article Donald Trump says Ukraine’s survival is important to US | Reuters - not an 8 word tweet.
How is it important asshole? HOW is Ukraine important to us?
Jackson Hinkle malding
crying and seething
I wonder who would be more destructive for Ukraine now. Trump would probably still try to “make a deal” that amounts to a Treaty of Versailles situation for Ukraine. Most if not all the Russian demands, Ukrainian demilitarisation and maybe partial integration with Europe without any territorial recapture or NATO membership. I don’t see him fighting the war to the last Ukrainian though because he hates losers. He’s been outspokenly vicious toward wounded/imprisoned/dead American soldiers and they’re sanctified to his base. The state of the war is so bad 9 months before he’d be taking office that Ukraine has no heroic propaganda image for him to latch onto.
Biden on the other hand is just pure blood for the blood god. For his entire career, toward any vulnerable group, at any opportunity he was given to hurt someone. Gaza shows how feral he is and how little human life means to him. I think he’ll ride the war out all the way to FABs raining down on Kiev. The full effects of the new conscription law will be realised, each new round of aid will sell off more of whatever Russia doesn’t take, and in the end there will still be a Treaty of Versailles for Ukraine. Maybe he’d do a post-WW2 Canada and allow all the Ukrainian Nazis to be American refugees, something I don’t see Trump doing because they’re losers. If Trump tried, I could see liberals suddenly remembering what all the patches on the soldiers’ vests mean and reverting to their pre-2022 stance on the Ukrainian military.
Biden on the other hand is just pure blood for the blood god.
I’m 50-50 on if Biden would run Ukraine fully into the ground or if, with no third election to win, he’d wash his hands of the situation.
That’s where I think both ultimately end more or less the same way. The war is on life support and they both have to pull the plug. I think Biden will face more pressure to maintain the war from his party because he’s built this up as the Good War. If NAFO ghouls didn’t have this, they’d only be supporting the country that’s committing genocide against starving children and provoking WW3. He personally has terrible instincts and remains fanatically attached to things until they’re completely outside of the Overton window. Materially the war can’t be sustained though, so I see maybe a few months’ difference between the two ending it.
Trump slapped sanction after sanction on Russian Federation.
His foreign policy will be the same as last time: pro-fascist Ukraine.
He was the first one to send huge aid packages and arms to Ukraine.
all it would take is somebody close to trump telling him that burisma was involved in paying the crocus hall terrorists and he’d be back on his hunter biden ukraine corruption tip
yeahup
sitting at the lathe right now: he gets elected and takes all the money that’s going to israel and funnels it into Ukraine, but in truth it’s all distributed to shell corporations and embezzled through Deutsche Bank
https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-anti-imperialist/ somewhat libbed up but still fairly good article tabulating Trump’s imperialism
That’s because the battle between Trump and the Establishment was not actually between anti-imperialism and imperialism. Rather it was a contest between two rival forms of imperialism. Trump wanted raw imperial plunder—as practiced in its classic form by European nations during the 19th and early 20th century, and by the United States in its relationship with Central and South America. This is an imperialism of naked territorial conquest, resource plunder, and alliances with local comprador autocrats.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff—like the larger American Establishment—has little appetite for this naked policy of looting in the name of enrichment. Rather, in a manner that goes back to the creation of the national security state under Harry Truman and Dean Acheson at the dawn of the Cold War in the late 1940s, the Establishment prefers that American global hegemony wear the decent drapery of internationalism and institutionalism. Instead of selfish appeals to “America First,” global hegemony is secured by claiming the form of support for an international liberal order—one maintained by alliances like NATO and SEATO as well as through agreements like NAFTA. This is imperialism in the name of international law, human rights, and free trade.
The linked Vox article, while substantially more libbed up, is also worth reading https://www.vox.com/23677654/trump-foreign-policy-revisionist-history-dove-anti-imperial
Yep, Trump’s not a better choice, just a choice between two bourgeois.
Cold War
Doe Brump
omg trumps bad now
Death to America
dat’s right
Liberals must weight their hatred for Trump against their hatred for Putin.
Ukraine “surviving” can mean a lot of things.
