How funny would it be if this was actually his account getting hacked by the Iranians and they posted it to make the entire administration shit their fucking pants that they've been hacked or have a mole or something and that every device the president touches is potentially compromised?

What kind of global imperial superpower doesn't drop bombs for 35 years in a row? That doesn't sound like any global imperial superpower I have ever heard of in the last 600 years. If China is a global imperial superpower without doing the whole war crimes thing, I'm almost inclined to say you've sold me on global imperialist superpowers being redeemable!

Nope. Think of it like a trolley problem.

Yes. Integration means less conflict, more collaboration, less redundancy, more dynamism, less wasteful military build up, fewer threats from the US.

One country two systems means that China provides for national defense of the entire space while Taiwan maintains a substantial amount of governing autonomy.

Think of it like Greenland choosing to be a part of Denmark to keep itself safe from the US military, except in this example Greenland would be historically part of Denmark for centuries and have a population of 99% Danes and have some parts of Greenland only 4 miles off the coast of Denmark with US troops already stationed on it training Danes on Greenland to fight the mainland.

Are you comparing economic collaboration with installing military bases?

China has exactly one foreign military base. It's in South Africa. They are very happy with it and there's no contention.

By contrast, US military bases in Japan are notorious for raping, kidnapping, and other abuses of locals.

No. China does not also "meddle" in the rest world.

And WHY DID PEOPLE STAY HOME?

I assure you that it is the party's job to inspire people to vote and not the people's job to inspire the party.

You mean Biden who believes we would have to create Israel if it didn't exist, who continued the war drive, who delivered weapons and training to genocidaires, who put infants in solitary confinement at the border, who was instrumental in ensuring that the prisons were full of black people who could be used as slave labor, who pardoned the judge who took bribes in exchange for sentencing 8 year old to juvenile detention for jaywalking, who failed to do anything meaningful to stop Trump, who failed to do anything meaningful to limit the power of the executive so it couldn't be abused, who failed to do anything to stop fascism at all?

Those 4 years where voting a different guy in didn't do literally anything to stop fascism in the least?

Sure. Do it again. I am sure continuing to not stop fascism is exactly how we stop fascism

A, that's not cyber warfare. That's cyber propaganda. B, Americans don't need foreign influence to be racist misogynist violent jingoistic bigots.

The US literally invented the Internet. It controlled all of the technology for years. It codeveloped it with the military. Every single major tech company has deep ties to the US military. Many of US tech companies are actually spinoffs from military projects. And US tech dominated the global market. And the tech companies are installing backdoors at the behest of the military (Snowden leaks).

The embargos/sanctions against Russia likely creates tons of opportunity for Russia to develop alternative technologies so they are less dependent on US persistent threats, I mean product.
