Wadephul had told Reuters on Wednesday he planned to urge China to relax export restrictions on rare earths and semiconductors, emphasising fair trade as a cornerstone of successful relations

Literally all China does is emphasize that fair trade is a cornerstone of successful relations then get hit by sanctions and tech restrictions by the US and Europe. Now they’re acting as if every Chinese press conference isn’t just saying “dude what is your fucking problem we’re trying to do business here”

Sorry folks we ran out of snap money because the democrats gave all of it to the illegal aliens 😔😔😔 please buy my new official Trump Force 1s

I don’t think they shriveled though. Anyone obsessed with the second amendment most likely supports everything going on, doesn’t care, doesn’t like it but also thinks conservatives being in power is worth it, or a crank asking ChatGPT how to lure soldiers to his basement

The right’s obsession with guns and insurgency against the government comes from the fact that they support all these oppressive measures abroad and domestically. They are afraid of the boomerang coming back home but don’t know what to do in that situation outside of vague ideas of resistance. They believe the Taliban and Vietnamese soldiers were just “poor farmers in sandals,” scoff at the fact the US got defeated by them, and still cite Afghanistan and Vietnam as reasons why they (the lone wolf) can take on the government. They have a fundamental misunderstanding of their past enemies’ organization which will get them killed because they think any schmuck with a gucci AR can win.

It’s not about resistance to them but being a cowboy of their little domain (lawn).

Do the military commanders simply not care?

This took place a while ago so my memory is hazy. But there was some big Russian offensive that the western media said the military was very prepared for and had erected “dragon teeth” fortification. But Ukraine’s own media reported that the money meant for building it was siphoned and the people in charge dipped out the country

Anyone else feel like Trump’s recent drone strikes on “the cartels” are trying to scare the actual cartels to come to the round table, where the CIA will offer safe passage for drug smuggling to the US and eliminate competition in exchange for insurgency against Colombia and Venezuela? Or is that my parapolitic brain getting out of hand? They did this during the cold war but I can’t recall any backdoor deals in the modern day

What about Castillo? Last I remembered he was imprisoned while thousands of Peruvians were rioting for his release

It’s also crazy to see dems foster this mindset of “guns are BAD unless wielded by government armed forces”, allow their enemies to monopolize membership in said armed forces, exempt all the cops and soldiers from their gun laws, and now tell me to “trust me bro the cops and our state troops will protect you from fascism”
