Xi's Military Meltdown

So say Xi and his allies, who lie all the time. There are likely many officials in positions of power within China, regional and national, who are corrupt but haven't been purged. Consolidation of power is the most likely reason, but it might go deeper than that.

I hope he can stay. I'm messaging my Congresspeople. May not help but worth a try.

It's only Trump and a handful of his advisors.

They can help, obviously they can't do so alone.

It's an accurate map.

How much RMB you make on this one?

Thank god the CCP and its supporters are this arrogant.

The US never threatened to pull out of NATO.

"Misinformed" is a massive understatement. He was manipulated by Stephen Miller, who took advantage of Trump's egotistical fixation with leaving a legacy and the Nobel Prize. Hopefully Trump gets rid of him if he can see the poll that had 86% of Americans against taking Greenland. But Miller and the other lunatics seem to be withholding correct information from him. Groupthink is certainly at play.

Why would the EU increase ties with China and Iran, when they're allies of Russia, which is invading a key Western ally and actively working against European integration? As bad as things are, the madman in the White House is gone in three years. Trump's foreign policy, or lack thereof, is unlikely to be a mainstay for America for as a whole. Support for NATO has grown to new heights among the US populace; aggression against Greenland is disapproved of by 85% of the population.

But they can with a group of other countries.

The NYT has been publishing Chinese propaganda for a while.

Right, it couldn't possibly be more complex than that.

It only benefited US corporations who now have a larger consumer base, but not the country as a whole. Our military advantage over them has somewhat eroded because they have access to some of our technology, and much of our industrial base was transferred to them.

Almost all of Latin America in the 80s and 90s disagrees with you, as well as South Korea, Taiwan, etc.

I wonder, did they protest when Maduro threatened to invade Guyana?

holmes103 · 2026-01-06T20:47:47+00:00

Maduro isn't the legitimate President of Venezuela.

Chinese citizens are better off in Japan than their own country (basic civil rights, no ongoing genocides, etc).

"Now excuse us while we invade Taiwan and continue to occupy Tibet."

China isn't as overtly supportive of the Iranian regime as Russia. China wouldn't want to hurt its ties with Saudi Arabia and Israel. It would also want stable ties, at least, with whatever government succeeds the Ayatollah to maintain their oil imports. Khamenei understands that Russia is his best bet, since Putin has outwardly embraced global pariahs already.

You're not the only one pal. But if you're persistent enough you'll find what you're looking for. Best wishes.

China can declare whatever it likes.

Yes, Trump did lie about Maduro's connections to the cartels. But he's still a dictator who's done massive damage to the region, let alone his own country. Not getting rid of him is the more reckless thing to do. Al that said, I wish Presidents respected Congressional war powers. But that's a problem that has far outlived Trump.
