In the picture the placard for Pete Hegseth reads under his name "SSecretary of War" for those unable to zoom in properly.

Thought this was cool. Chinese military equipment just has a "habit" of ending up places. Very cool, anyone remember those Chinese cargo-planes landing in Iran about a month or so ago? All speculation, though.
like from not even like any materialist perspective but from purely a "hot-couch" perspective why the fuck would Taiwan want to give up any of it's manufacturing capabilities in exchange for protections that have failed to manifest for the country actively in a proxy war? Not only that, but any workers sent over there have a non-zero chance of being deported by some rural fuck-up in a balaclava and tactikool vest to Swaziland. Like what even is the mindset here?
"What's natural for Taiwan is we produce 95 percent" and "we feel great about it," Lutnick said, conceding that "you can imagine when someone has 95 percent, convincing them that they should only have 50 percent. That's a lot" to lose.
But "Donald Trump would say it's not healthy for you or healthy for us because we protect you, and for us to protect you," then "you need to help us achieve… reasonable self-sufficiency," Lutnick argued.
To close the deal with Taiwan, Lutnick suggested that the US would offer "some kind of security guarantee" so that "they can expect" that moving their supply chain into the US won't eliminate Taiwan's so-called "silicon shield," where countries like the US are willing to protect Taiwan because "we need their silicon, their chips, so badly."
Well..at least it's not prison architecture.
I like the emojis big
Liberals: Maybe Biden could sign in some legislation to protect the rights of us and others!
Biden:
Unlimited piss on the graves of these settlers
Honestly, it's just the usual of whenever a disaster happens "anti-looting squads" go out and murder and loot themselves. This time it's "DUH FEMA!"
millions to anti-china propaganda, billions to ukraine and billions to isntreal takes more prominence than any domestic issue during a blue administration.
My usual response is "I don't want to be a victim of it's foreign policy"
Bonus Reddit comment: "NOOO!! This isn't corruption or affecting your taxes!! We just overestimated by a couple billion/accidentally cooked the books and determined we can send more!"
It's incredible to me that so many people were absolutely up in arms, even in my own real, personal life, about this fucking guy getting a free throat surgery that they completely ignore the vultures of culture tearing apart his still-warm body into scraps for the media.
Leftists didn't immediately turn his death into a spectacle, leftists didn't immediately start trying to fuck his wife (elon), leftists didn't hijack his organization. Just really funny stuff.
