    Trump doesn’t really need the US empire to stand, he’ll be just fine in Russia or China considering he cozied up to both Putin and Xi when he was in office.

      jesse-wtf Most geopolitically coherent liberal, the guy who did tariffs on China and insisted on calling COVID the China virus ”cozied up to Xi”.

      And of course he needs the US empire to stand, all his wealth is tied to it.

        Never said he was consistent about… well, anything, really.

        As for his wealth - nobody but him and maybe a select few individuals know if his net worth is even positive. He might be better off escaping the US and taking a big fat paycheck from any of the foreign dictators he’s sold state secrets to.

      The Westoid brain cannot comprehend not having a designated enemy state

      Obama “cozied up” to Putin and Xi while in office, because it’s called fucking geopolitics. Xi and Obama got along pretty swimmingly from my recollection. It’s almost like having trading partners and settling geopolitical beefs with negotiation is a fucking better idea

      Remember, China Bad started only in about 2016. There was much more rapprochement between China and the West prior to that, why the fuck do you think we sent our manufacturing to them?
