He literally made his living on the US forever war
no but like, he owned a $100M defense contractor
not just, he was a soldier who fought for America
I know some war hawks were only doing it to pander
but I'm not going to cope and pretend like trump's making great picks so far
If Trump wants to get tough on China, great
but I don't think having a bunch of people in his ear telling him to nuke the chinks is the best strategy
I don't like the social media drip feed thing they're doing
I think it's retarded
the more people talk about his picks, the more they'll be unhappy with whoever we end up with
like, the put that retarded dog hunter in-charge of DHS
yeah Polar, but I think that's retarded
Trump should pick who he wants, if it's a game of favors just rip the band-aid off and drop all 30 notable positions at once
rather than this game of people tearing everyone down
this is I think his worst pick so far
this woman is R E T A R D E D
I'd rather he just pick one of his daughters appak
I think the issue is, the people who stuck by Trump after he lost were the griftiest grifters
he got some good people as the campaign went on
but it's weird to be giving so many real appointments to these fucks, rather than ceremonial positions that politicians normally give
though, ngl, Biden did the same thing
his cabinet is full of his retarded friends first and foremost
it's weird to make the same mistake again
when you REALIZED what went wrong the first time
either way, hope they prove me wrong and turn out to be secretly competent lol
honestly, as long as RFK is there
I have a lot of faith in shit getting done
if the cost of that is we genocide a few countries and fumble WWIII, oh well
I mean, it would be us just blowing up more shit in the middle east and sinking some ships in China
it's not like there will be a war on American soil
the NSC Leg
true!
we need 10 different departments to manage the exact nuance of how we blow up foreigners
I think the open question is why and how much do we care about Taiwan
they're kinda only out ally to spite China, and when China moves to take the island back
someone (Trump) gets to decide how many Americans die as an ineffectual show of force
can I say it's their fault for joining the military, sure I'm not trying to baby them
But if that becomes a decade of hawkish bluster and anti-China fixation by retards
I'm going to be pissed
1) we don't need to be spending $$$ overseas
2) we don't need to feel that every self-interested foreign government is our mortal enemy
that's my position
now back to real politics
watch out @Phijkchu_Pikachu
we're releasing the Detroit reserves to come get you
I am less mad about this than Trump selling the artifacts from the smithsonian
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I think the open question is why and how much do we care about Taiwan
Stoner told me this so non-reliable, but doesn't Taiwan have a lot of materials for chips/processors
Its not just a lot of materials
they are the supply chain
intel is scrambling to make fab shops so we are not 100% dependant on them
but that costs trillions and will take years
