Donald Trump has just handed the world to China on a silver platter.

[Apparition of Jack]

Ignoring the current nationalist posturing for taking over Greenland (which I’d be genuinely surprised if anything happens, but then again I could be wrong), I hope everyone here understands that Trump has almost single-handedly destroyed US credibility on the world stage and made communist China seem the sane, “reasonable” power on the world stage.

Like, what the fuck does he and his cronies actually think will come of this? The EU will just go down without a fight and the 50,000 Greenlanders will accept imperialist domination with open arms? That nations like Britain, France, Canada, Japan, Korea, Germany, Brazil etc won’t be seriously disgusted by America’s behaviour and make geopolitical moves to counter that? 
 

America really is killing itself as an international force because it was too stupid and too greedy to give itself healthcare, and instead blamed everyone (even the fucking INUIT) for their own problems, rather than themselves. And who benefits from this the most? China. China, in contrast, seems to be an evidence-based, restrained, rational actor who won’t arbitrarily cut off trade (or fucking INVADE) it’s neighbours out of its own idiocy and hubris.

So yeah, thanks Trump. Global human rights and democracy will now be replaced with Chinese-style survival of the fittest because you couldn’t help yourself but rape little girls on a Caribbean island.

Fucking clown world. 🤡

Well we'll see how China will go about the Taiwan, there's plenty of room for idiocy there imo. By idiocy I of course mean them actually attacking the island

Authoritarian and fascist states blame everyone else for their own problems.

Americans finally know what it's like to be a political refuge lol.  Why leave though? What country would you recommend?

The US is going back to the Monroe Doctrine, stepping down from its hegemony of the world status. It probably doesn't have an option, so the world will become multilateral. The three main hemispheres of power will fight each other, revealing the dog eat dog nature of humans.

Its from the same model yes. Just as many religions follow a similar model. @Ramasta9

Things share similarities in design and concept, just as you can draw inferences that either subconsciously or consciously the human form or body was influential in many structures or systems because humans are designing them; moreover, human society, as it was, became a model for most things governing it.

You are looking at the chicken and the egg concept. Which came first.
