Can apply to either Trump or the US as a whole.

Pride: Nationalist rhetoric all over the place, disrespectful attitude to minorities and other countries that are viewed as lesser.

Greed: Championing capitalism and exploitation.

Lust: Everything regarding Epstein.

Envy: Hatred of China's development and making constant petty attempts to undermine them.

Gluttony: Pulling humanitarian aid and actively starving Cuba while America leads in obesity.

Wrath: Starting wars and dropping bombs left and right.

Sloth: Ignoring the domestic wellbeing of Americans and letting education, infrastructure, healthcare etc. go to shit.

I'm 29, all I do at my job is stack totes and I'm fine with it. Pay is low but I deal with it by being efficient in my daily living in ways like splitting bills with my brother, being very close to work so I spend little on gas, eating healthy so I don't have to worry about expensive medical problems and so forth.

Whatever you do, just make sure it's something you actually want to do. I knew someone who went $30,000 in debt for a teaching degree only to discover he hated it and ended up working in retail anyway. Also, whatever you do don't go into a job that will ruin your health, even if it pays well all that money might just end up going towards paying for medical problems that the job caused.

Yeah otherwise it's some serious taking others for stupid behavior on Saudi Arabia's part, making a non-aggression pact without expelling or at least making legal exceptions for foreign bases effectively grants those bases invulnerability. If Mexico hypothetically starting allowing to China to send over loads of troops and build tons of military bases, and then later China attacks the US from those bases, then the US would obviously view that as an act of war on Mexico's part.

Costa Rica lol. I was over there and it was a pretty textbook example of a corrupt gangster state that boxes up it's domestic population into forgotten shantytowns while rolling out the red carpet for wealthy Western tourists to come over and get drunk. I'd invite any Western reactionary who talks shit about Cuba for being poor while under a literal blockade to travel there and see how much good rolling over for the west is doing for the people there.

Let's all say it. Fuck the UAE. They in particular fully deserve the same level of trash bin respect as Israel.

"It's people"...fun fact, Hitler openly voiced his contempt and disdain for Germans as a people in the late stages of the war despite fighting to near total annihilation. Trump last week let it slip out that he openly doesn't give two shits about American's financial situation.

Look, I sympathize, and I don't really like the way it seems they are rolling over so easily either but... calling for an overthrow which has a large chance of just creating further damage and instability this early seems a bit premature. Deng's China and their deals with the US could of been viewed as capitulating too and yet here we are.

Even if so...there are at least 150 other countries out there that would be better off having a revolution then Venezuela which at the bare minimum is still progressive and opposed to letting fascists take political control.

This is why I keep saying that electricity generation is a much more reliable measure of a country's overall economic strength then GDP, countries will naturally find ways to consume as much electricity as they can and there is much less room for voodoo in the calculations. That would place China at already being over 2x the size of the US economy and place Russia as the 4th largest economy rather then the 11th behind countries like Canada and Italy which is just plain absurd.

The only surprise here is that there are still steel factories operating in Pennsylvania.

 

This time in Gabon. I don't know much at all about Gabon's politics but from doing some quick reading it appears to be yet another ousting of a French puppet just like in Niger.
