JDPON Don fulfilling his role as undercover CPC Cadré in destroying the US Empire from within
the bullet pierced his ear, but he can still hear the voice of the party
Can't wait until Trump dies choking on a fish filet and all the allied countries he alienated immediately come back into the fold as though nothing had ever happened.
They're not coming back to the fold, I hope trump lives a long life and I hope America fractures under him. If America fractures the entire planet would be a less violent place for most humanity rather than just white masters
no shot the u.s. doesn't coat the globe in nuclear hellfire the instant it seems like shit is going to go sideways
I mean they can, it won't save them, it would just destroy the world. By that logic so could Pakistan, so could china, UK, France, india and so on. But nukes require intelligence and some level of organisation to maintain and, America is losing allies, therefore bases to operate nukes, firing nuclear workers, gutting the government. America is the most powerful armies on the planet, but half of its power comes from its mass network of allies and military bases, without those you are just the most well defended and isolated nation on earth but invading? Good luck, you couldn't beat afganistan with nato.
it won't save them, it would just destroy the world
nothing you said is wrong and it's just a gut feeling but i personally believe the people in charge find that preferable to a world where the u.s. is no longer dominant.
You are absolutely right. I just hope whoever is in direct control of the nuke realised the gravity of their actions and defy orders if need be. Im sure every individual who is even remotely close to such an action understands the gravity of it
Yeah this is not just about Trump. Trust in the American voting public has eroded. Even if Trump's successor reverses everything he has done, America's allies will never trust the US in the same way.
Most countries are pursuing strategies to reduce any and all dependencies on the US. While the US continues to hold 20% of the worlds purchasing power (much of it concentrated among the wealthiest Americans) the rest of the world is working to make its economies as robust as possible with the remaining 80%.
We're witnessing a change in the world order. The end of American exceptionalism, leaving a power vacuum that will likely favor China and Russia for the forseeable future.
lol

They calculated “tariffs charged to the USA” by literally just dividing the trade deficit with imports. And then slapped 10% on everyone we have a surplus with
We’re ngmi
CIA and bougie pricks in general have gotten really complacent
Man needlessly smashed up some of the US' ability to project soft power, he's still talking about slashing the military budget, and now this and they haven't whacked him yet
Soft
A few months ago I thought there was no way he'd be stupid enough to dismantle the institutions that keep the US in power, because monied interests that depend on it would have him deleted, sent to prison for real, or at the very least impached. But holy shit the lack of opposition to his antics, other than some performative fingerwagging from liberals, is amazing.
I don't even know what to believe anymore.
The truth is the presidency is actually an enormously powerful position and there is no secret cabal of intelligent, strategic capitalists behind the scenes who can press a button to override it. Ruling classes have always been riven by factionalism, and the modern American ruling class is at the apex of this due to generations of imperial hegemony degrading their ability to analyze, understand, and respond to real material conditions.
this aint your poppys cia no more
CIA during the Cold War: Hopped up alcoholic psychos smearing LSD onto the doorknobs of historically black churches and overthrowing Latam democracies.
CIA today: Some YOPO DC dork who posts furry porn to the DSA's twitter before hitting up Planet Fitness.
What does YOPO mean?
Young professional
cia went woke smdh
Lmao putting a tariff on Taiwan. Truly being an ally to America is deadly
trump has singlehandedly ensured a future reunification of China
I am not unconvinced that, at some point, Trump was the victim of an "Inception" heist that placed the idea of tariffs at the center of his mind-palace.
JDPON Don proves he's real by posting his first leftist meme
reciprocal tariffs
So is the party line here that these are just a reaction to other countries' tariffs and that if those tariffs are removed the US ones will be too? I have no doubt that they're lying and calling things "tariffs" that really aren't that, but if that's the logic then this move makes marginally more sense.
edit: okay I saw the thing where they decided tariffs are when you have a trade deficit and that is fucking hilarious. Does Don really expect other countries to start buying American shit? Our stuff is obscenely overpriced at the global level! The only way that happens is if he intentionally weakens the dollar, and if he does that we can't import anything anymore.
JDPON Don continues his Long March through the institutions of the imperialist beast, in service to the heroic global working classes!
Very interesting they're letting him actually do this. I would think the bourgeoisie would not like this kind of hit. He still has time to do "incredible deals" whereby these countries agree to buy $100 of US goods and he drops the tarrifs while tooting his horn but things do kind of look like the bourgeoisie (those near levers of power anyways) are serious about forcibly decoupling and reshoring pronto to be able to fully enact the plan of isolating, blockading, sanctioning, and trying to turn up the pressure on and destroy China or at least prevent their rise and displacement of US power.
I mean it's either fail children running the show which I still can't buy because they'd love their enemies to think them more foolish and incapable than they are and we don't have that luxury OR the whole plan for drawing back, child labor, small yard, high fence, using the sword of empire to attempt to force the world to buy more US stuff to displace competitors OR they're on some sort of dark enlightenment trip and think capitalism is over and the only way to avoid socialism is turning the barbarism machine way up and trying to create some sort of techno-feudalism or something else at home.
Why does it matter? Well if they're just incompetent then indeed the fall of the US is in order in the near future but options 2 and 3 spell very, very, very dire times for those in the imperial core as it's a very orderly managed decline that's liable to be able to potentially draw it out many more decades into the future and inflict incredible amounts of suffering on those of us stuck here in the mean-time (beyond just treats being more expensive).
It's the national bourgoisie ascendent against the international bourgoisie. Trump's favoured businessmen will be given special exemptions while the economy gets gutted and they can pick up the remnants at a steal. meanwhile their international rivals get shafted.
Also they are definitely on a neoreaction trip, it's just that all they've done is reinvented fascism and mixed it with older patronage networks that won't work for a modern economy.
Live Juche Reaction:
Genuinely think the intent is to make conditions so unbearable within the empire so he can round up the coming storm to push forward the most violent shit possible.
manufacturing bad conditions to manipulate the backlash is certainly an idea, i'm not sure it works when you scream from the rooftops that it's your project and what ever happens will be your fault.
there's no fallguy, there's no possible fallguy, he's branded the tarriffs as his idea from here to kingdom come. how could even the historically unintellectual yankee people possibly misdirect their ire?
"Transgender" stole our "tariff wealth" is literally what he already said.
~1% of the population, yet they're able to bring America to its knees. Hand the world to the Trans Illuminati, they've earned it.
