The Vietnamese had some of the greatest strategic minds in their history leading the fight against the Americans.

So far, it doesn’t seem like there’s a single leader for a resistance in the U.S., and certainly none as skilled in tactics.

Hell yeah, keep them out!

So they’re gonna continue the status quo?

You can’t be more mad about them actually saying they’re raping and pillaging the Global South than them doing it. The U.S. has worked to keep the Global South impoverished and exploitable for my entire life. I’ve never seen any politician even mention it as an issue. Americans didn’t care before, and now Vance is publicly admitting they don’t care.

The Cold War never ended, it just changed venues.

Excited by the remaster. I kinda still want a remake in the style of Nightdive’s System Shock remake, but tbf SS2 is a lot more playable for a modern audience.

If seasonal depression is the worst thing your citizens have to deal with, that’s a pretty fucking incredible country imo.

Well the Israelis are definitely really happy.

Putin has now reached a level of Skaven where’s making ceasefire deals just so he can break. There hasn’t been enough betrayal for his liking yet, so he must manufacture some. Unhinged behavior.

No, it’s just at home now. The CIA has been torturing people in black sites around the globe for decades now. If anything, those conditions were far worse, since it doesn’t seem like any migrants detained are getting waterboarded yet.

Unless you’ve managed to destroy economic liberalism in your own country, it’s happening to you too. That train is going to hit you awfully soon.

Wow, that is incredible. I can’t believe they captured him. He could actually stand trial for his horrible crimes, and his victims could finally have justice. The first of hopefully many crazy authoritarian nuts getting what they deserve.

So, how much longer until we have to start drinking soycaf?

Of course they’re stupid; they’re Americans.

A big thing that’s been weighing on my mind recently has been the impending threat of climate change. Who is actually going to be able to step up and potentially prevent our extinction as a species? It’s definitely not America. Europe has too many incoming threats to be able to focus on the climate crisis. In terms of world powers, it sure seems like the PRC is the only chance humanity will have, as long as we can convince them to care.

I don’t like that, but I don’t see another option. I guess if our options are extinction as a species or the Chinese model, I’ll choose the Chinese model.

I suspect he’s playing it up for the camera in order to differentiate himself from American conservatives now that they’ve begun turning on Canada. It’s something I imagine we’ll see out of Poilievre as well, because otherwise they’ll quickly become unelectable.

Just remember that they were chums all up until this point, and that’s still damning. Ford supported American conservatives all the way until the leopards turned to eat his face. Yeah, it’s cool that he’s going above and beyond to fight back now, but he still wants Ontario to act like Texas.

I’m certain he’s doing it for the wrong reasons, but it’s nice to see the angry raging conservative attacking a genuine asshole for once.

Huh, I really thought the other members of the Five Eyes would be kicking us out. Well, I guess if they don’t want to remove us, we’ll start making plans to leave.

It is going to hurt, and to my understanding it’s already begun impacting businesses. The only salve I can offer is that us Americans are going to hurt a whole lot more. Hopefully, Liberal is able to maintain power up there, and is working on new trade deals with new partners. Nothing the U.S. produces is really unique, so alternatives can be found, but it’s going to take time to set-up new agreements.

The bottom is kinda falling out of the market and investors have dried up, largely because AAA has had too many extremely costly fuck-ups recently. Now the whole sector is looking bad, and it’s been trickling down into impacting the ability for AA studios and indie teams to find funding for their projects.

There really aren’t any other moves to take. It’s either this or lie down.

Also, I will say that tariffs can be a lot easier to manage if you only implement them against one of your trading partners. While major imports from that trading partner, and any goods produced with any of those imports, will see a price hike, most Western countries have very diversified economies and can make up the difference elsewhere. The real trouble begins when you start having blanket tariffs affecting all of your major trade partners, which seems to be Trump’s plan.
