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

oooo, good idea Leg

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

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

I mean, both elections would be fake

it would be funny

^

since Putin wins every election totally real (legit) anyways

exactly

and russia joins nato along with ukraine

then the us backs out

idea for Trump/Putin

what if Trump offers Canada to Russia, in exchange for Ukrain to remain free

that seems fair

Pika, admit

you'd want to see the Trudaeu press conference

rebutting that

I think you found the one thing that would make Canadians more outright mad than the 51st state nonsense

lmao

oh

Leg, I was missing this context

of Trump is now openly feuding with Zelensky

all bets are off now lol

he might actually give away all of Ukraine

Oh, yeah I thought you saw that

lol

there's a lot Pika

he's actively tweeting rn

from one of the Presidential alt accts

which can I just say

is one of the funniest things Trumps decided he needs

the only thing better would be an official shitpost acct
