The Donald Trump thread

Re: The Donald Trump thread

I don't think it's Trump dialling it back, Russia already invaded Ukraine.

From my understanding Venezuela have long been cosying up to the Chinese and Russians and so similar to Russia's invasion this is about spheres of influence, the big players trying to control their immediate surroundings and sending a message.

Political leaders will make noise of international law and sovereignty but unless you are able to enforce or defend it it's all for nothing.

What I would say is unlike the rather messy, cumbersome approach of the past and Russia's own attempts in Ukraine, this seems to have been extremely well planned and rather "clean".

It's a dubious honour in having better invaded another sovereign state than another invader - and the long-term ramifications are yet to unfurl.

China will be moving in very soon on this now no doubt, almost a green light. Putin doesn’t like Ukraines president, ok to take him out too then? I’m surprised it hasn’t kicked off in the democrat cities of the USA yet, how much longer are they going to put up with this government running the show?

I'm sure Trump would love to have an insurrection taking place on home soil, he would be in his element.

Re: The Donald Trump thread

The situation whereby the world's superpowers, oil states and oligarchs (whether the latter be Russian, US-based or otherwise) are carving up the world simply reminds me how ludicrous the WEF conspiracy theorists have been on this message board over the years.

It was such a laughable concept that old men across the global political divides would profit from destroying the world's economy but at least two extremely frequent posters swallowed it whole.

Russia invaded Ukraine, and they have faced sanctions ever since (well the second time). So it clearly wasn't considered a legitimate course of action at the time.

America has done it now and are seemingly saying it's fine for bigger countries to impose their will on weaker neighbours.

The 80 people that died and their families would probably disagree with your definition of clean

The WEF lost influence when Kamala failed to win, ditto the EU globalists. We are now living in interesting times as they say.

Amazing isn't it. After spewing out years of hogwash that The Great Reset was unstoppable because of the all powerful hidden forces it appears that the line is now that Davos gang were so impotent that they couldn't even fix an election won by a couple of hundred thousand votes in some swing states.

So the people who, according to you lot, fixed the 2020 election decided not to bother in 2024?
