Which distracted from starting an insurrection.

Which distracted from killing millions of people by shutting down pandemic readiness programs & keeping the pandemic secret for months before doing anything about it while telling the states to figure it out on their own.

Which distracted from his past life filled with a series of rapes, lies, and other choice corruption.

It’s almost like he is, and always was, an awful person. Better elect him god king emperor of the United States of dumb fucks.

There once was a fascist who raped a child. I don't know why he raped the child.

There once was a facist fat pedophile, who bombed fisherman to distract from Epstein files.

There once was a fascist fat pedophile, who bombed Iran schools...

And if you follow that along it's all to distract himself from the feeling of never being loved or cared for.

I'm sure he's heard, many times in life, words along the lines of, "You're a disappointment," "That was disappointing," and "You're disappointing."

It explains it all and fits.

Hey kids, remember that punctuation matters:

No more wars!

No, more wars!

This was had everything to do with the Petrodollar.

Americans have no idea how close they are to bankruptcy if other countries stop using the Petrodollar.

All these ears started because iran started taking yuan as currency.

This is what why gold has been blowing up in price. Countries are buying gold to buy yuan.

The end for Americans is coming real soon

Valid concern

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 1 points 1 month ago

I also feel it all somehow distracts from valid voter concern in the upcoming election.

Someone should get rid of that orange-faced traitor

It's all a distraction from the coming war on China which will be a real war, felt by more than the population of the attacked country.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

lol. there won't be any war of china. there would be terrible consequences and trump is, among all other things, pathetic coward, he only bullies those that are clearly weaker.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Trump is not a monarch, his cowardice doesn't matter. It would be very strange if the wars are decided by him and everybody goes along and doesn't impeach him. Trump is a figure head and others made the decisions to go to war. They don't face scrutiny because everybody looks at Trump.

China threatens the wealth of the American billionaires. Like DRAM, where China is starting to fill the gaps much faster than the west could increase production, China will take over every market. What but war can the West do to stay relevant?

well no one wants him to be in first line of the charge as medieval king would be, but he doesn't want to look bad on tv - and i think if he had really attacked china, it would be so bad that even he would understand that people are laughing at him.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But Trump only formally makes the decision. If the politicians and billionaires don't want it they would impeach him.

Besides, Trump in China must have been a different person. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/_ERAVB31Cao

The US has prepared for years to take down China. All the politics and regime changes, e.g. the recent Taiwan Cambodia conflict, are about containing China.

The US won't step down voluntarily which means that there will be war.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

us weren't able to get iran, iraq, or afghanistan, all they can do is fuck things up and leave. i think that military attack on china would end up similarly pathetically as putin attacking ukraine. they might still have slight advantage if they were bordering countries, but attacking someone when your logistical support is on the other side of the world is no small deal.

i hope we will NOT find out.

For China that would be enough.

but attacking someone when your logistical support is on the other side of the world is no small deal.

Especially if they can outproduce you locally.

That leaves two options because regime change is very unlikely now. Either they play deranged superpower for a very clever negotiation strategy or they plan on just bombing China into the stone age with nuclear weapons. I rule out Trump being just stupid because the US elite has a strong interest in a strong US and they would impeach Trump if he would go against their strategy.
