Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Is it even questionable at this point whether or not he's taking strong recommendations from someone whose end goal is to destabilize the US, or even the west as a whole?
I don't think there's anyone at the wheel at this point. The Trump administration is littered with complete buffoons, led by the biggest, wettest buffoon of them all. The people with the most power are genuinely just extremely stupid and they will not listen to the few competent ghouls remaining. The country is run by failsons, senile geriatrics, tech bros, FOX hosts and WWE wives.
Is this the best outcome we could've hoped for?
I would've liked a situation with less border violence and genocide, but maybe it was too much to ask.
It's a ship's bridge full of morons trying to turn full force into an iceberg whilst the rudder has a thousand more slightly less moronic civil servants, advisors, and economists trying to steer it slightly off course into the "1000 year reich" ocean
The wealthiest would benefit, either way, as far as I can tell. I'm just kind of clueless what the plan is, when the food runs out in the bunkers and the "winners" have eaten each other and their own family until one remains, unless they've already somehow achieved space colonization and somehow hidden it from the whole world (I don't believe this, btw).
