Don’t sit there and pretend China and Russia, supporting Syria and Iran who in turn fund and militarize extremists across the middle east, had no part to play in the infinite proxy war. Not to mention Russia was the primary trading partner of Iraq under the rule of Saddam Hussein. While certainly the Bush Administration took advantage of the situation, the USA got roped into the war on terror by the 9/11 attacks orchestrated by a group of extremists from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan holding a suspicious number of AK47s popularized in the USSR, and under Obama and with help from NATO members as well as the Saudis the region was stabilizing and demilitarizing very quickly with both stronger borders and less US Troop presence.

Listen, for all the bad things you can say specifically about the Trump admin, try to keep in mind that Trump won in part because he was favored by the Chinese and promoted on TikTok leading to the largest shift towards conservativism ever recorded in youth voters.

You really made my point for me by talking about NATO, something China and Russia heavily oppose, being a deterrent to war while China has no “real” allies. Except for Russia, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Indonesia, etc. You know, theres something of a trend with all of those nations, can you name what it is? The most democratic country in that list is Indonesia and it still routinely elects members of the family of the previous dictator from before 1998, under whose rule featured multiple occupations, genocides, and anticommunist purges.

China and before them the USSR are parasitized by a social disease which spreads bloodshed and takes away human rights to everything it touches.

I could be wrong, I’m not any sort of expert on global volkswagen distribution of goods.

Holy shit, didn’t a Volkswagen CEO predict this a few years ago? Unfortunately, a lot of Volkswagen are made in China now, so this isn’t any better, really.

Yes.

A large number of leftists demonstrably didn’t vote for her, actually. 81,283,501 people voted for Biden and 75,017,613 people voted for Harris. That’s the sole reason we have a second Trump term.

It can be multiple things but let’s not compare filthy Republicans like Bush and Rex Tillerson the Tex Driller-man to the DNC, that would just be disingenuous to its core.

Also, you say “the scary Russians” like they haven’t been actively invading and claiming more land for 10 years, now.

Yeah, really weird to think about.

“So you’re saying we can just make as much Oranges as we want and you’ll take all of it?”

“Yes.”

And so they did.

China is:

• Erasing Tibetan culture, including the disappearance of the Panchen Lama small child and replacement with a state approved one.
• Committing Genocide against Uighurs, including sending them into forced labor camps and forced sterilization.
• Controlling Hong Kong with a militaristic occupation.
• Disputing the statehood of Taiwan.
• Attacking Philippines and Australian vessels in their own waters.
• Financing Russia’s war on Ukraine.
• Financing North Korean dictatorship.
• Causing a global shift to the conservative right using their TikTok psyop.
• An actual, full on, permanent dictatorship.
• Prepping for new wars by covertly constructing an underground military city 10x the size of the pentagon in only 8 months, having hoped the world wouldn’t notice.

It’s easily, easily, eeeeaaaasiiiilllllyyy, way more evil and destructive than the USA, and holds way more puppet states around the world as well.

Also, with China being an evil horrible dictatorship, this definitely isn’t a moral upgrade either.

Isn’t that just trading one evil country for two evil countries, the newest of which being even more evil?

I hope that whoever wins, wins.

Looks like MinuteMaid manufactures 54% of all of it in the USA, followed by Old Orchard with 37%

So, fun fact, when it was discovered you could freeze concentrate like this to vastly extend shelf life it lead to overproduction and unsustainable expansions

The Harris Campaign spent $1,176,074,620.47

The total spending on all campaigns in 2024 was over 21 Billion Dollars.

How many votes do you think $100M in advertisements is going to earn? That’s hardly enough money to put an ad in the face of 1 of 3 people in the USA one time.

Headline really sets your hopes up for a major fall. [Some people who live in] Billings, MT have protested. The city of Billings have responded that they won’t enact any ordinances against ICE.

Because you did not use a /s, I commend you for your enthusiasm.

More likely that Israel is the USA’s longest and most reliable foothold into the Middle East which is an important ground to repel eastern expansionism from Russia and China in an infinite proxy war. Nobody with half a brain would chose to lose voters for a paltry sum of campaign funds which may or may not attract comparably few voters, the math just doesn’t pan out.

A majority of male youth voted for Trump but EVEN AMONG FEMALES there was a large shift to the right.

In 2020 Biden had a 36 point lead in young women over Trump, while Harris only had a 24 point lead. Thats a huge shift.

Better yet let’s just ban facial recognition tech from having any online databases.

I can understand if a local device can recognize you for unlocking your phone or PC, but a camera on the street should never unless the technology progresses to be much much much more accurate than it is now.

EDIT: and even then if it does improve then its use should be heavily restricted and tightly controlled by congressional oversight.
