DOGE finally does good for Asia.

LMFAO I thought their shift to Asia would leave them untouched. Guess not

Look, I fully understand this is a case of doing a good thing for probably the wrong reasons/by accident, but yoooo I will take it.

But man, the easy pickings for Shit Reactionaries Say will be gone.

Tbf even if all anti China and NK stories stop this exact moment, USians are so brainwashed it would take an entire generation before the sentiment really changed and they plan on going to war before that happens anyway.

I really don't think they have the resources to go to war at this point. They couldn't take on Russia in Ukraine, and China is a vastly bigger economy. Any kind of war on China is just fantastical thinking.

Yes but that fantasy is great for MIC profits.

They have 5,000 nukes and are led by the most deranged humans Earth is capable of producing.

I think even the crazies in charge of the US understand deep down that a nuclear holocaust will not be in their interest.

You are still thinking like a rational human being. Not one that's senile as fuck and/or had their brain mushed by ketamine.

We'll see I guess, but from what I'm seeing, these people would rather rule over a diminished empire than live in bunkers like rats.

And nothing of value is lost

Oh it was of value! And I applaud it's shutdown as I see it sink beneath the waves
