Should Trump have booked me ....my fukc! I get goosebumps, pleasureble ones, simply because it would bring me possibly closer to.... the precondition that I sit at the same table where he (eagle), Putin (bear) and Jinping ( dragon) would sit.

Imagine...
The ego of a business man
The mind of an ex KGB agent
The decisiveness of a Marxism.

As to history repeating itself...i have already said that in my previous post.

So , sweets, don't take offense and get all personal. A general observation . As I said only the stupid and naive would think Trump even considers "friendship". He is a shark and money is his drive.

Sitting at the table is 1 thing.. Being the head of the table is another thing. While Trump maybe a shark in business.. Putin is the shark in warfare.. while China might be the killer whale.

Sit back and enjoy the show.

Hey Willow~the~Wisp

I told you.
I told you.
I TOLD YOU!

GRIN.

The fun has just begun.

He, Trump wants to be remembered for many things.

His ego shall not allow it any other way.

His first term many lessons learnt ...more of a politician now and advisory whispers possibly taking note of, instead of brushed aside...the businessman embracing the "politician".

Reigning in the globalists in his unapologetic manner.
Blunt
Brusque.
Belittling.

...and now "pissed off" with Putin questioning Zelensky's credibility, threatening sanction of Russias oil supply to other countries.

No stop on tarrifs and looking to make America an industrialist powerhouse instead of a warmongering globalist

NOW begins the waiting game in an excellent pairing in THIS chess game.

As to tariffs...no stopping there. Upping them even more.



A method within his madness?

Laying a foundation that has crumbled over years and years .


Geopolitics I shall call the Trumparian era.

RB.

Trumps betting on the rest of the world investing into the US by manufacturing within the US. This is a 30 year old Chinese strategy.. except china didn't bully the world for foreign investment.

It should be a little worrying for the US, that China, Japan and S Korea are promoting free trade within those countries in retaliation to trumps tarrifs. Those 3 countries are not the best of mates but they have put their differences aside to fight a common enemy..

And China isn't backing down, their latest comment from its minister
"The US should "return to the right track of dialogue and cooperation at an early date," a Foreign Ministry official said earlier this month. But "if war is what the US wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we're ready to fight till the end."

I wouldn't take this lightly, they are not known for making hollow public comments much like trump

Oh by the way I'm in CPT for the week.. wink

Trump managed to make the Canadians angry. Now that is an achievement.

I love trump and what he is doing for America after Biden and Kamala fucked it up so bad. My worry now is that a few countries are urging their citizens to be very careful travelling to the USA. A lady from Germany was kept in detention and was treated like Hannibal Lecter. We travel to the USA every 2 years to visit my sister who lives in democratic Chicago. Now we are so scared to travel this year even though our 10 year visa is still valid but we don't know if we will be turned back at the airport. These illegal immigrants from shithole countries have made travelling to the USA a misery for legit people like us. Another 4 more years of trump...it's welcome but to whose detriment?

Aaaa...Willow~the~Wisp

In CT you say?!?!.!

Having Vodka, Bourbon and Baijiu on the table and prepared for a "debate" of note sounds extremely entertaining .
I like the points of view you are sharing and, i know it shall get me going vocal and philosophical..possibly put you on the defensive, even though it shouldn't .

They say never to discuss politics.

I say ...why not?? Especially after of few slugs of Bourbon, shots of Vodka and sips of Baijiu,I can just imagine u being more amicable and quite prepared to surrender to adventures possibly never considered!...with me.

:D

@Russian Bridget.
We should get a room. Before the ESA faithful kick us out for high jacking their forum.

Time dependant il catch up with a booking with you on this side. If not il eagerly wait till you return to JHB.

Oh and by the way remember when I said China will offer Russia - Ukraine a better deal for peace and it's minerals than the US.

unn.ua/en/amp/chinese-foreign-minister-arrives-in-moscow-to-discuss-ceasefire-with-lavrov.

This is going to anger Trump. He's going to lose USD500 Billion worth of minerals to the Chinese, while having Elon right next to him. Highly embarrassing on the world stage.

Most dear Willow~the~Wisp


The title of this thread is ...

"USAID cuts, "chaos ensues"?

And thus not aware of any derailment taking place.

A bit of personal banter inbetween lightens a topic heavy

And while we focus on Trump and his shenanigans so we forget other parts of the world where greater chaos may ensue..Taiwan,China , Australia and Russia sitting, sitting...sitting.

As to embarrassment in public spaces for politicians
Such a thing does not exist
They lie through their teeth, spewing the needed rhetoric that will sway the mass, to get elected into office of governance.

What ensues thereafter and the brunt thereof is our own doing.

Ps. If not CT , see u in jhb...hopefully. smooch!

RB.

"Call it organisation , oligarchy, autocracy.

Same shit , different name." - quoting myself


"Organizations, oligarchs and autocracy's are inherently different also by the laws they are governed by." - Quoting FeralInstincts


And thus "annexing" more acceptable than using the word "invading "?


I wonder how come talks of "annexing" Greenland by the USA, against their will, has received no backlash from the global community.

Smirk.


And as to the Trump Tarrifs.


A resetting. Money has lost its value. When a car costs more than a home and food on the table has become a luxury.

Time for countries to look within their own borders instead of look outward for handouts and corrupt dealings selling obes own people to the highest bidders.
Back to the lands....agriculture... for food security is a definite.

These tarrifs will make life uncomfortable and will separate the "boys from the men"

More and more interesting it gets.

RB.
