politics

this can go here

because i just think its so funny sam hyde mindraped asmongold

Him and Charlie getting shoutouts in that video was so funny

beyond parody

though its years old

idk if even context could make that statement any less ridiculous

when did Trump lose all that weight?

Leg, I forgot to post this earlier

but I genuinely never considered that our government couldn't count

Shout out to the bold nigga that claims their 360yo grandma is alive

idk why there isn't just an automatic cut-off, at most at 130. Even long lived people dont go that long. The longest living person we know of was a french lady who died at 122 years old in 1997

heck that still a high number. I doubt millions of people live to 100 simultaneously

there are very few 100+ people

another notable thing in this is the falling birthrates

52M millennials and then it falls off

Clive Palmer has announced a new political party "Trumpets of Patriots". I used to admire Clive, because unlike Trump, I figured Clive had a chance of becoming prime minister while in a party named after himself (Palmer United), while Trump had no chance of becoming president. Up till Tucker Carlson went on tour with Clive, I used to call Trump "America's Clive Palmer".... then I accidently caught myself thinking the other thing. He went from Palmer United Party, to United Australia Party, to Trumpet of Patriots. Now he is naming the party after someone else. According to Sky News' preview (which I don't know whether to believe or not) he wants to "Make Australia Great Again", which raises some questions. Back in 2016-17, UAP ran on "Make Australia Great". At what points between 2016 and today did Australia BECOME great and then lose its greatness? The original slogan was always self aware that Australia was never great in the first place. But I guess the lefties complained about Clive saying Australia was never great.

we'll make you a deal, after we annex Canada, any of the Canadians that want out we can exile to Australia

up to you what ya'll do with them

Ship 'em to Nauru.

Sorry, Nauru is part of the Spooky Pacific empire plan

I really don't like when people compare others to Trump based on policies alone. Uptil the ear incident, Palmer was the only person "like Trump" that was actually like him. Them both being fat rich peasants.

Didn't realise Nauru was that far away. It's where we relocate all the people that arrive by boat.

finding good maps of the pacific is actually impossible

this was the best I could find

Always thought it was south of West Paupa.

essentially, I want everything up to the Philippines, which gets to be a client state like Japan

Australia/NZ are our commonwealth allies like the UK

could Tasmania become a reservation for the displaced Canadians?

Papau New Guinea can stay independent, because who cares

have them fight those Tasmanian tigers

actually, new plan

Garbage

you get sole ownership of Papau

all yours

I like the Papau New Guinea to stay as one of those Psuedo uncontacted zone so White Adventurers of the future can still brave cannibal tribes and discover undocmented species

Because of indonesias claim of half the island, I will settle the matter by building the most expensive mega canal project to create a hard dividing line from mostly savage jungle men and true savages

inb4 you accidentally sink the natives

and they have a biblical flood wipe them all out

Don't worry, I've seen something like this before, one of them will be come an esports champion and the other will be a trooned out athlete.

There might be some old guy with a crossbow and wheelchair somewhere in there as well.

lol

don't remind me

Papua is actually genuinely funny because it really is just uncontacted cannibals for 70% of the island, and basically all unnavigable jungle. Not even one of those gag hyperbole like the amazon rainforest.

Spooky's going to sorta take Ukraine's side for once

you can't really hold an election while at war

you can hold fake elections to keep up appearances, which is what they should do, because it's weird that a country larping as a democracy to get Western support wouldn't

Yeah, insisting they hold a real election while at war is kind of retarded

no country would

There's also the reality of, even after a successful war, they ruling party almost immediately always gets voted out en mass

turns out, no one likes wars

I'm genuinely curious how this peace negotiation between the US and Russia goes, I feel like Trump's telegraphed what he wants which is $500b from Ukraine to stop the war

and he's going to give Russia some really interesting economic opportunities, that favor them in the short-term and the US in the long term

but I feel like the territory is going to be a weird divide

you can't have it be status quo qua, but you also probably can't give Russia the full Novorossiya corridor + Kharkov

the actual solution is to have Poland+Hunagary+Romania etc. step in to administer the portions of Ukraine, that's the only way you can expand Nato and give Russia what they want a Ukrainian rump state is a loss for everyone, and probably just leads to another conflict in 5-10 years

there is no solution that makes Ukraine happy, but I think that's obvious at this point

they're losing territory, money, and sovereignty either way

ig the only possible concession is Trump offering to "rebuild" their country after he's done rebuilding Gaza

but if anyone takes him up on that deal they may be the stupidest person alive

Russia agreeing to any economic plan post-war, likely is a loss for China (and Russia long-term), and honestly might be the biggest wildcard

Trump wants the peace by Easter (April 20) so it gives Russia ~2 months to make as many gains as they can on the ground before then

there's not going to be a ceasefire in the interim, so the question of motivation on either side will be suspect

you can spin it either way, Ukraine knows the end is in sight and they only have to hold out a little bit longer, or that they know none of this matters and just have to avoid dying for 60 days

end of WWI was much the same, telegraphed far ahead of time, and the number of assaults being made by either side dropped to near zero up until the final day, when everyone fired off all their ammo/shells so they wouldn't have to carry it all back with them

difference circumstances here obviously, but I think there still is an effect

Okay, but Spooky, how does this tie into Putin being Trumps puppetmaster and him doing exactly what he wants

Reddit keeps telling me that is whats happening

trump should force russia to hold an election too
