Which will mostly impact Canada and Ukraine. Other nations will suffer economic losses, which will cause periods of global instability. Most will have to adapt to the new multi-polar world and watch to see how quickly and how far America slides

Will democracy return? Will the Fascism escalate? We’ll see.

Here’s how:

Even unopposed invading Taiwan would cost China more than anyone else. It would mean attacking one of their largest trading partners and sources of income/currency exchange, and they have huge influence over Taiwan already.

The idea that such an invasion is China’s goal is mistaken, due to it being a common saber to rattle as a distraction/negotiation tactic. More effort has been put into cutting European internet cables than setting up an invasion of Taiwan. China won’t even look that way for a decade (and the world will likely be very different then).

Regardless of that (which I know will be shocking to those unfamiliar with the details of what an invasion would entail, there’s reasons they haven’t accomplished it in the past 70 years), such an invasion wouldn’t cause WWIII as the image claims. The idea it would has always been sabre rattling, dating back to Mao and the cold war.

Just look at the outcomes, either; China has huge influence on Taiwan and operates its tech industry like a second economy (current situation), or China takes over Taiwan creating massive destruction and ill will, and the Yuan now has no surrogate currency exchange. The results would be protracted and detrimental for China.

…and that still wouldn’t cause WWIII.

Only a push to non-traditional zones would (eg. An invasion of the Philippines, or Russia invading a country considered more traditionally European).

P.S Taiwan is not a resource rich area, it’s smaller and closer to mainland China than Tasmania is to Australia (Tasmania is further away from Australia’s mainland, and more resource rich, than Taiwan is to China). The world going to war over it is highly unlikely. What’s more America would have to have its shit together to even start start a response, also highly unlikely under the current Trump administration.

So that’s how Germany got racoons.

Best not keep him from the war.

I do hope that this results in Europe’s leaders understanding the importance of finding a way to end the Trump regime. But he just seems so entrenched. Roy Cohn taught him well (their reluctance is understandable).

It’s going to be a long road.

I know they split hard on trans rights six years ago, with the UK siding with TERFs, but it’s starting to feel like each nation that has an outlet under the masthead needs to be more clearly defined.

It seems to occasionally veer right on issues, and I won’t be surprised if it’s eventually center-right. Shocking timing to be this way though.

I don’t think so, Russia/China getting what they want (the degredation of America) is more likely to avoid war. However it is one of the strongest signs yet that America won’t be the main superpower when Trump “leaves office”.

At best, should a responsible/intelligent leader return one day, there will be a protracted period of cold war like tensions and instability, as there has been before.

However recent events do seem to indicate that America’s decline is rapidly accelerating.

Who are you referring to?

Watching America collapse in real time.

Now let’s all marvel at the there being not a single headline about Trump’s many references to Obama.

Why are the Guardian pretending Trump was ever battling Putin in any way? On Cyber threats or otherwise?

Even the leftwing media CONSTANTLY whote wash and cover up for Trump, it’s bizarre.

His Canadian grandfather was a believer in tecchnocracy, part of a member of a group called “Technocracy Incorporated”, he’s a techno-fascist who wants to rule planets, Clare Musk (Grimes, their mother) is a techno-fantasist.

I get the vibe those two were doing a lot of drugs at the time also. So yeah, this is what happens when wealthy technocrats do a lot of drugs and have babies together.

The Modern Media:

“How about we don’t make a big fuss or devote too much time to this, instead let’s report it like a niche rap album that everyone’s sleeping on”.

“Lowkey Trump’s high crimes and treason is the best album y’all been sleeping on.”

DO YOUR JOB MEDIA! The reason things aren’t getting news coverage is because you’re choosing not to make them an issue! You’re supposed to be BROADCASTING HIS WRONG DOINGS, AND PUSHING SHAME ON REPUBLICANS ENABLING HIM.

They’re so damn complicit in minimizing his crimes. They’re why his supporters don’t know jack shit. What responsible media outlet refers to a President defying the law as a “low key” event??? It’s insane!!!

What a fascinating piano.

I’m sure Trump would never delete himself from documents before release…

…he definitely didn’t do that last term via William Barr’s Justice Department. So I’m sure he’s bot going to do the same thing this time.

I thought all this was cleared up; anyone connected to Trump is above the law, because Clarence Thomas and all the law enforcement abdicating their duties said so.

Yes, this is Fascism, and it’s been obviously so for some time now.

The problems the free market creates, are intentional.

Translating the link via Google Translate:

We salute the Russian Special Operations Forces, but there is a nuance

The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to improve the educational process in enemy schools.

With the help of the Special Operations Forces specialists, a patriotism lesson was held in Russian educational institutions, where local schoolchildren congratulated the enemy units on the Day of the Russian Special Operations Forces.

And here’s what happened: the children, not knowing what the emblem of the famous Russian Special Operations Forces actually looks like, (these are the people) created a whole collection of drawings. However, they depicted the emblem of the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine.

Let’s keep working!

I said unconscious… I even stated “accidentally” and said it was visual.

But yes sometimes visual shorthand accidentally enforces an unintended message. Just like black people can be racist, or Jewish people Antisemitic - antifascist art can sometimes accidentally say that fascism is strength, indomitable, or all powerful.

Two cops, beer guts, and laughing together, might be a more accurate description of American fascism.

Are they three different species?

I get two of them are supposed to be humans, and the police a faceless enemy, but it feels like something unconscious was accidentally said visually.

Lady’s tiny like a Hobbit or a Troll or something.

I mean, a major problem in society is that two incomes are required to pay off a mortgage - and making one member of that equation unable to work society wide would solve that, leading to mortgages and hence housing price calibration (calibrating it to a single wage income)…

…but I was kind of hoping that wouldn’t be a product of gender segregation. Also this seems like it’s going to affect a lot of other things and people women’s autonomy and hence freedom and safety in jeopardy.

No Bueno.
