I'm honestly not surprised. German culture has spent decades portraying Israel as their happy ending to the holocaust.

Xi shouldn't have stopped at Berlin

(Berlin, Texas)

The guy who just told Trump to fuck off in his victory speech gets treated with kid gloves, meanwhile, the Democrats just got threatened with imprisonment and execution even after giving in to every single one of Trumps demands.

I wonder if they're capable of learning anything from this.

They spent the past year pathetically whining about they just couldn't fight Trump and their supporters just needed to wait and vote. Then they cave in not even one week after a wave election where just about every single Democrat who was running for something won their seat.

Why do the liberals hate it so much when the Democrats get called a controlled opposition, it's so self evidently true.

It's 2005, I'm watching a commercial for the new Harry Potter while we destroy the Middle East.

It's 2015, I'm watching a commercial for the new Harry Potter while we destroy the Middle East.

It's 2025, I'm watching a commercial for the new Harry Potter while we destroy the Middle East.

more than a decade of the US trying to "pivot to Asia" to contain China , and it all ends with the US disembowling itself while China watches and wonders why the fuck they did that.

The plan for the war makes less sense every year.

The US navy doesn't have the capacity to close the Taiwan straight anymore, so the idea now is to blockade the Singapore straight, 3000 kilometers to the south, and cut off Chinese shipping from the world markets... that is to say, the nation that doesn't produce anything but excel spreadsheets thinks it can win a war by blocking the source of all the cheap goods that keep their consumer economies running.

This feels like a serious fuck up for the western media. They handwave the existence of their billionaire owners by saying that they don't determine what gets printed , even though that's an obvious lie , but now they're on record with the billionaire owner putting his foot down for Trump.

Well, violence was already normalized in every other sphere of American life, I guess it was only a matter of time. Look at the Trump shooter, by American standards, the only weird thing about him is that he went after someone important instead of just shooting up his local school or walmart.

Yeah, turns out all of this high tech satellite guided shit can be easily defeated by electronic warfare if its used against an enemy that has the time and resources to adapt to it. This is the first time anyone had a chance to figure that out though, because the US has only ever used it against unarmed farmers and goat herders.

Well, at least it's not as bad as the F-35, the multi trillion dollar jet that fails to both electronic warfare and rain.

We were saying 6 months ago that there would be a crackdown, simply because the US can't support a genocidal colonial project if the victims can livestream their suffering to the world.

But what's really weird here, and I think no one could have predicted, is the mass suppression and arrest of Ivy League student protestors. They're protesting peacefully, which they've been told is the only moral and acceptable way. They're not making any material demands, and they're not tied into a workers movement that could strike and threaten capital. Anyone with knowledge of previous college protests and the academic year could have told them that this is harmless, and that it would fizzle out as summer started, but instead they've violently cracked down in a way that's causing the protests to spread, while also radicalizing and blackballing the children of privilege , the people that are supposed to carry on the ideological future of liberalism and sign up to be the next generation of the imperial bureaucracy and the NGOs.

2003 : support the invasion and occupation of Iraq, destabilizing the middle east and creating millions of refugees.
