    That’s great news! Not only you invade a country to kidnap their head of state and try to impose your own ruling, but now you are also forcing them to dump their partners. I’m sure China is gonna be so happy for this…

    I really hope Pooh doesn’t do anything stupid, like retailating in any way… After all, it’s not as if they were the biggest buyer of US debt in the world, right? They couldn’t possibly retailate by selling all that debt at once? Oh gosh… I hope they don’t do anything like that!

      China doesn’t care. Russia doesn’t care. Europe doesn’t care.

      The people in power still have power. The rich are getting richer. This is just petty international squabbles to distract the people while they are robbed blind.

      Pooh is just gonna take Taiwan and no one will do anything.

      Trump is gonna take Greenland and no one will do anything (except maybe Denmark, but lol…)

      Columbia, nothing.

      Panama…. That might legitimately piss some of them off, but they’ll negotiate.

        China cares about their money. If oil from Venezuela stops flowing, China will start caring. And the US don’t want China to start caring because, as you said, they could take Taiwan and make the AI bubble burst in a split second. And the oligarchs in the US will be beyond pissed with mango hitler for that.

          China is already well on the way to decoupling from oil dependence. This whole push by Trump to get back into coal and oil is grandpa logic.

          China is already gonna get it from Canada. The ball is rolling. The US is just desperately trying to remain relevant.

      They won’t because Trump has made a deal with the devil so nobody will ever impose consequences on him for anything ever
