So that's the dumbest thing Trump is doing. Deporting low income workers when he's trying to bring low income work back to America. It's literally the opposite of what you would want to do. Yet here we are. The stupidity I feel is the most stunning thing about all this. I knew Trump was insane, but completely idiotic was not something I thought was part of the deal.

No one knows. Here's a video of Trump from a few days ago saying he's willing to concede Taiwan.

With that offer on the table, who knows how much China would be willing to pay Trump. Trump is just in it for himself. He just put a trillion dollar chip on the bargaining table.

That's not entirely correct. Because man made diamonds have a perfect cuboid structure that rarely occurs in nature, a diamond at the sizes man made diamonds are can be detected. Essentially they're too perfect at a molecular level. So there are labs that can determine the difference. Though, saying the difference is because man made is better isn't a great selling point.

If that happens good? Why do we think having countries and borders that creates strife a good thing? If we eliminate all borders and are just humanity I see that as an absolute win.

It's because they were never that effective before. But with the advent of drones, they have suddenly become a wildly important protection. This is cause the drones can get stuck in those slat gaps. No other weapon before had this kind of weakness. They were all basically just ballistics before drones.

That's literally not the article I linked. Also we are talking about a call to a ceasefire, which China has called for on both conflicts.

*Edit: Also

Beijing supporting the Kremlin’s plans economically rather than openly amid international pressure.

China is also the US's second largest trade partner. Your article is just repeating that yes, China will sell to countries that commit war crimes. They never said they would stop and your article is loudly proclaiming it. That's nice, but irrelevant.

Well Orban seems 100% on Putin's side regardless. I guess I don't know enough about Germany to know if that's something their far right wants, but wouldn't surprise me. And I suppose that all makes more sense since the far right in USA is clearly on his side already.

It includes allies. This is because of the tyranny of distance. US simply cannot power project enough to take on China with Taiwan alone.

But these war games are actually biased towards USA. Pentagon's own war games have China winning already.

So if we believe the US military, then China can already win. Though many argue US military says this just to get more funding.

I would err on the side of US just barely winning with all allies.

That said, I do not believe China would invade. It makes no sense. Anyone who claims this is could happen should have their credibility questioned. As China as I said already has shown its hand, it will blockade if it comes to it.

They're already doing that. That's why the spending bill is being rolled up into one. That way they can say they're voting for it to stop the Russian genocide and so what if it does a little genocide in the Middle East.

Sadly, your joke is just reality

Right, I knew 2 died, I got them mixed up a tiny bit. Below I have provided sources.

Well that and MS is like a national champion in China. MS is one of the few companies to follow Chinese law and thus, Bing is the only foreign search engine allowed. MS is what China is hoping every other foreign company will emulate. So yeah, no way China is going to go after MS.

*Edit. Heck, MS is expanding in China even amidst the tech war because they love China so much.

If anything USA should be banning MS for national security issues.

Ah classic, your all for rule of law until there's an actor you don't like following rule of law. Suddenly the law should change just for them. Hypocrite.
