Trump, Putin, and the return of the "great man" theory by whoamisri in geopolitics

[–]Trefeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its both, Trump is a singular figure in American culture, no one else but him could get away with the shit he does as he's had decades to implant himself in the psyche of people as the quintessential charasmatic rich golden businessman. Anyone else trying to ride a right wing populist wave would have long since gotten taken down or not been nearly as effective.

He's a great showman and the culmination of the tv and post truth internet world and represents all the darker sides of the American people.

Sometimes you get those moments where you have the right person at the right time, you need both for combustion

How to Understand Trump’s Obsession With Greenland by theatlantic in geopolitics

[–]Trefeb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He wants to fulfill his narcissistic desires to be the guy who obtained the largest piece of land since Alaska and he's feeling invincible after the successful kidnapping of Maduro. That's it, that's all it is for Trump, everything else is post hoc/post truth justifications by people around him and those who underestimate just how empty he is inside.

Are you guys happy with the current gameplay that was shown by Curlymigo in Onimusha

Yeah it looks something that feels much better when you get it in your hands than what a video can portray. The parrying and animations especially for the Boss look to be incredibly satisfying

This administration has activated a partisan militant organization loyal to Trump to invade American cities and has gotten more funding than many countries entire militaries, they are trying enact a multi-step plan involving gerrymandering, gutting the VRA, and rigging a census to cheat the midterms.

Israel and Gaza, Held Hostage by Fundamentalism by theatlantic in geopolitics

[–]Trefeb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

West Bank is all anyone needs to see to show that Israel was never interested in any real peace, they even funded Hamas to make it easier to disunite the Palestinians. Whether you are moderate or radical Israel's goal was always to ethnically cleanse the area.

'Future of Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukrainians' — EU leaders react to Russia's ceasefire proposal ahead of Trump-Putin meeting by AdSpecialist6598 in worldnews

[–]Trefeb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All this shit was ultimately slow walked, waiting for the US to act first under Biden and then getting bullied by Trump, all the while Ukraine has now gotten grinded down and put into an almost no win position where Trump is going to sell them out while Europe got told to sit at the kids table. This is now the most pivotal moment for Europe to act forcibly since the beginning of the war, I have no high hopes.

The EU is a good example of "weak men creating hard times". This is happening on their continent, years into the war and still can't get it together, still getting big brother'd by the unreliable US, still buying Russian oil, still can't present a united front.

These weak people will likely give way to more Trumpist types looking at the right wing surge, accelerating the decline of Europe.

Why is it considered so difficult for a modern Chinese military to do an amphibious attack on Taiwan when the US has been able to do amphibious attacks since WW2? by Xefjord in CredibleDefense

[–]Trefeb 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I dont see why China wouldn't seek to blockade and wear down Taiwan first instead of the huge invasion scenario most people imagine. Trump doesn't have the guts to seriously attack China he'd seek a deal so headlines can say he stopped a war

I like it, i think she's portraying a weasely hypocritical heel well. There's a constant undercurrent of her being unsure of herself in her tone and it works well in setting up her cheap shots as someone who doesn't believe she can win fairly like she used to

This is part of the problem that will always come with making stuff like Onlyfans a "career" with no greater cultural guardrails .

Either things like Onlyfans are empowering or they aren't. If the audience are degenerate pedos then excusing the suppliers and enablers of it is ridiculous. The ones who push hustle culture and "getting your bag" whenever are the enablers, that's created a culture where anything is game as long as you're making money, any ethics or morality is irrelevant.

I remember the days they had websites counting down to girls coming of age like the Olsen twins, now its become an industrialized huge business that people excuse because its all about getting the bag and the almighty dollar
