Thanks comrade. Hopefully it’s the ideas and not because of my weird writing style though I guess it could be that too. That or the spelling mistakes…

China is trying hard to give the US a slow decline. They’ve taken direct hits themselves because they want to avoid the confrontation. This would result in a hard decoupling of the US. What would really matter is if India stands with Russia as the US can’t afford to attack both. Their supply chains for drugs and electronics would cease to function.

What I worry will happen instead is this passes, the president has authority on how to implement and can grant waivers, they use it very harshly on China, exempt broad swathes of India and use it as a cudgel to beat on Europe further and force them into their orbit and into reliance on their expensive energy imports as well as beating on other countries that want to align with BRICS and Russia and China specifically and thus hastening the formation of a bloc system with increasingly high barriers to trade and India probably allowed to play neutral if they continue to help the west with reshoring from China to India.

So that’s my issue, there’s almost always discretion and waivers so in practice it would likely be used as an attack on China. They might even given individual Chinese companies waivers to attempt to pressure them to ensure they don’t use Russian products or energy and some Chinese firms would absolutely take that deal to keep the US market.

So while I don’t think this would make the US implode overnight from sanctioning everyone I do think it passing would be a real win to the war hawk freaks like Graham (one of the closest human beings to being some sort of demon who gets off only on suffering and pain and war) who are also proponents of a hard decoupling and a dramatic near-term confrontation with China and thus a sign of things to come in terms of US policy and intent towards a hard decoupling with China, formation of bloc system, cold war 2.0, then pick off and attempt to destroy the smaller parties in the China/Russia bloc with coups, direct wars/proxy wars, sanctions, color revolutions, etc to isolate, encircle, turn up the heat and destroy them.

They may also think they can engineer a sino-soviet type split between Russia and China but they’re absolute fools for that. This won’t cause that. If anyone is going to split it will be Russia from China as frankly they have more to gain and as a capitalist nation pushing increasingly reactionary culture on their people means they’ll see some difference between themselves and China.

Moscow says it won’t be pressured over Ukraine 30-day truce --RT

This is foolish. As foolish as Trump’s tariffs war. It’s trying to bully someone with a strong hand into a deal when they already offered you one. Trying to bluff them in a situation where if they call your position collapses entirely is foolish.

Trump is showing he truly is someone swayed by whoever talks to him last. Zelensky was instructed by psychological experts from western intelligence I’m sure just how to appeal to him at their last meeting.

Russia’s bottom lines have been the same since the start and the only change has been the addition of recognition of the eastern oblasts (which Russia within its own legal system incorporated as de jure parts of Russia (under Russian law)) as part of Russia.

I can only assume that this ceasefire is another Minsk agreement deception. They intend to attempt to force it, to re-arm and re-train and re-group Ukraine’s military so they can put more of their men into the meat grinder and stall a collapse of the front another 10 months. And quite frankly given all the talk from France and other members of sending in troops once a ceasefire is achieved of trying to push the envelope of the acceptable slowly until Ukraine is de-facto but not de jure part of NATO.

Trump is going to ensure the US gets very little or no minerals to plunder from Ukraine if Russia has to push through to the finish.

I also wouldn’t be shocked if Trump is testing the waters with this, says nothing and then when Russia pushes back hard he’ll claim he never agreed to that and attempts to leave Europe on the hook for it all.

“This”

Wrong. This is just an attempt to make Netanyahu the problem. To pick him out, to say that the zionist occupation was good and fine but he ruined it, to ignore the reality of decades of apartheid and colonization and settler violence against Palestinians. They’re doing this too little too late because there’s a problem, too many liberals have seen through the illusion and propaganda and see the genocide, this threatens the whole project. So just blame it all on the current guy then when he’s out of power they can say he was corrupt and under indictment and things were bad then but are good now.

Trueanon also did one or two episodes on it.

They’re a cabal of pedophiles. And also what you said and they took Anakin because of that but usually take all kinds of kids under the guise of training them. CTH talked about this on and off throughout their 3 riff tracks for the movies.

John Birch society perhaps. They were pushing it by the 60s and Kubrick made fun of them in Dr Strangelove.

I’m worried that they arrested this guy and his wife and disappeared them to a torture facility under the notion that they’re spies because they chatted with colleagues about work topics while in China thus giving away valuable 'murican knowledge and advantage to the dastardly Chinese. Either that or they got lucky and skipped the country first, hope it’s that one but I’d expect they’d be saying something.

It’s definitely a little upsetting in that I’d like such things preserved for evidence for any eventual proceedings long down the line in the far future but not surprising I suppose and part of me assumed most such evidence would indeed be destroyed. Funny how the USSR didn’t destroy its records nor did GDR when they fell. Even the Nazis failed to destroy most of their documentation. The reasons being I suppose bureaucratic insulation, layers and layers of it foiling most normal attempts and completeness but they’re being I assume quite thorough here by just bulldozing the whole structure down.

Lol he’s really trying to go there. I doubt they (SCOTUS) let him do it though because Biden was senile and there might be genuine argument his staffers and family were making these calls there is a chance they try and do a one-time only exemption just so Trump can be petty.
