Ahhh, so they would vote for Trump.
Diabolical and nefarious!

No, so they would vote for Biden. Trump is the only POTUS not involved in the plot to make America bow down and submit to the UN/New World Order.

Ah yes. Mr Clean. Man of the people. NOT a swamp creature.

Pretty funny stuff. He’s done 286 press briefings so far (almost double what his predecessor did), and untold numbers of public appearances.

Why doesn’t he have the floor map of every single appearance memorized and practiced at length beforehand so he knows exactly where to walk?
Shit, race car drivers get to run test laps for days, and study and memorize that track so they know exactly where to go.

And his Twitter game is way off. He’s gonna have to work real hard to get to 25,000 by the end of his 4 years.

He needs to try harder and focus on that important stuff.

So why is China the heir apparent to the US? First and foremost we have to look at what the US provides to the world, which really comes down to two things. 1) is cutting edge technology. However, we’ve reached a point were this cutting edge technology isn’t so beneficial anymore. What does Windows 11 really offer over Windows 98v2 or Windows XP, that we couldn’t do without. When you think about it, our biggest industry really offers so little while ******* trillions out of the global economy. Basically we’re forced to upgrade expensive equipment and software every few years and get next to nothing in return and often the new product is inferior to the older one in many ways.

OTOH, China is the world’s manufacturer of everything. They provide the world with cheap reliable labor. Unlike America, China is politically stable. American labor is expensive and might organize/unionize, etc. Yes, China makes a bunch of cheap crap, but China also manufactures a lot of quality products. Even the tech the US creates ends up being produced by China away.

The other thing the US offers of value is it’s ability to project power – into the Middle East in particular. A quick look at a map of the Middle East and you can see there are choke points all over the map. Even Egyptian oil that has access to the Mediterranean sea faces a choke point at the straights of Gibraltar. The US is the only country that can deploy 3 aircraft carrier groups into the Med Sea & Middle East to make sure shipping in the region isn’t interrupted.

However, the US just keeps screwing the pooch in the Middle East. First there was the debacle of installing the Shah of Iran, which blew up in our faces and has lead to ~50 years of Islamic extremism from Iran. Then we screwed the pooch in the Iraq, which has lead to Iran exporting it’s brand of extremism across the region. We lacked the backbone to do what was necessary to the Taliban in Afghanistan. If our projection of power causes destabilization and as many if not more problems, then the world has to question our role as the preeminent superpower.

Anybody who has played war games (think Risk, Axis & Allies, etc) knows the US enjoys a unique defensive position that gives us a great advantage over our enemies. So whoever is to take over the reins would need enjoy a similar defensive position.

This is why China is an appealing choice (compared to Russia). On one side they enjoy a similar advantage to the US in Pacific Ocean, although they have Japan and the Philippians sitting off their coast. To the south a bunch of rather weak countries. Between India and China sits the Himalayans. Of course Russia is a little scary to the north and east, but between Russia and “China Proper” is tons of mountains and desert. As both the US and Russia have learned in Afghanistan, this type of terrain is were modern armies go to die. Plus Russia has to worry about their western front. China is quickly building up it’s naval arsenal and soon they will be capable of projecting military and economic power like the US. China has what many experts consider the best missile cruiser manning the seas. The Chinese also has the “wake homing” torpedo considered by experts to be the best anti-ship torpedo technology.

Biden is really just too lost to be POTUS. How the Dems put this guy forward when they had other viable candidates is beyond me.

Why China part 2 and Trump’s attempt to keep American in the driver’s seat. So now we can see what makes China an appealing replacement for American global dominance. But what we haven’t really explored is that China is an autocratic plutocracy vs a communist or socialist country. Mainly it isn’t a democracy, which are harder control (see Trump, Boris Johnson). For those who don’t understand the differences: socialism is a system where the means of production are owned by the people/masses and the fruits of production are shared (equitably) among the masses. There are no real socialist countries. Communism is just socialism with a layer of military/one party control to ensure socialism remains uncorrupted by capitalism. No true communist countries exist either. Russia and China are actually autocratic plutocracies. The New World Order wants to operate just like Russia and China – a plutocracy with a strong autocratic leader. The Amerian/Western European versions of gov’t have strong doses of plutocracy too, but they just hands too much power to the masses for a group that seeks to control the whole world. Democracy and One World Gov’t just don’t mix.

Trump wasn’t so willing to give up our position as the big dog on the globe. That’s why two of Trump’s major policy positions were to conduct a trade war with China and bring manufacturing back to the US. This is also behind Trump’s attack on democratic institutions. The fewer people that vote, the less likely you are to see swings from one party to the next. Gerrymander the bleep out of the election maps and you can ensure the GOP maintains power even if it doesn’t maintain popularity. Same with loading the courts with “extremely conservative judges” to the extent Trump did. Lastly, this was a motivating factor Trump’s attempt to rewrite the way election laws are interpreted. If the state’s legislatures were Gerrymandered to favor the GOP and could cast their electoral votes however they pleased or withhold voting until they could “find” a vote that favored the GOP or create a narrative that there was too much fraud, etc, then the GOP could maintain control of the WH indefinitely. In essence, Trump was seeking to slowly transform the US in an autocracy without all the hassle of a violent civil war.

This is why China let loose the Covid virus; if Trump cut into China’s manufacturing base and America began to look more and more like an autocracy, why changes horses? Better the devil you know… Additionally, think about Covid for a second. There is no doubt that a Chinese lab that does gain of function research has nastier things on hand than a glorified flu/cold. But China didn’t need to wipe out large populations, they just needed to create a pandemic to undermine Trump’s re-election and rob Trump of valuable time to enact his vision. Furthermore, they released it on their own population first, so worse case scenario if they get caught is, “Opps, it was an accident.” Of ccourse, WHO was willing to run interference for China since they both have the same goal of toppling Trump and the US.

Obama’s role in the “Drain the SPR” conspiracy is a quiet one. Obama leased land for drilling at a rate of 27m – 47 million acres/year. The only reason his numbers drop from the 40s to 32 & 27 million acres in 2015&16 is there was global oil price drop, thus oil producers weren’t anxious to bid on new lands. During Obama’s reign, oil producing acreage stayed at a steady 12m acres, ensuring America would continue to depleting it’s oil reserves at a record pace. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a chart other than the BLM one, which requires downloading their excel spreadsheets.

While we were focused on Obamacare, nobody from either party was paying attention to the fact that Obama had left the oil reserves tap on. You can see how this resulted in a steady increase in US oil production during Obama’s reign, which of course means our oil reserves were being depleted. The eia.gov chart demonstrating the steady climb in oil production does not require downloading.

Meanwhile, Obama continued destabilizing the middle east, with his “in & out” approach to Iraq/ISIS rather than just letting them be. This approach only served to infuriate and embolden ISIS and Islamic Extremist organizations. It definitely made things much worse for Saudi Arabia and we see SA begin to pull away from the US, viewing us as a meddlesome competitor in the global market and troublemaker rather than an ally and partner.

More to come. We still have to cover both the Bushes, Reagan, Clinton and Jimmy Carter.

Shit, race car drivers get to run test laps for days, and study and memorize that track so they know exactly where to go.

The most brilliant analogy ever trying to compare the complexities of an 18-foot stage vs a whole *** racetrack lmmfao

You guys never cease to amaze me, I'm just here for the lulz

I'm showing two friends your post as I type this, and they are wondering how big the check is that Biden sends you each month to defend his incompetence.

You don't have to answer that though. I let them know you guys are voluntarily this idiotic, and that Joe appreciates your votes.

OK. Then tell us why Trump had so much trouble walking down a RAMP. Literally only one direction to go to get there.
Had trouble with it.
Tell us about his inability to drink water from a bottle.
Tell us about every single fvckup while reading prepared speeches directly in front of him.
Didn’t have to walk, didn’t have to remember which way to exit a stage, simply had to stand still and read words on a page. Couldn’t do it.

When he tries to speak extemporaneously:“Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory,”
Airports. In the late 1770’s.

How much do you get paid to post so many factually incorrect memes? Do your “friends” know about those?
Or are you one of those Democrat plants just trying to make Republicans look stupid?

I mean, if you really want to go gaffe-for-gaffe between them, we could.
I’ll offer up Trump’s 21,000+ documented lies to the public, two impeachmets, and theft of classified documents.

You have some work to do.

Isn't it sad that the left had to create all this just so they could use it to hate someone. Sad little lefties.

This is why China will replace America as the preeminent global super power. In the US "we" can't even enforce a mask mandate without a bunch Karens getting their panties in a bunch.

Good things we have guns in 'merica. What are you going to do shoot a drone? Then they'll just send a swarm of them with flash bangs, pepper spray and tasers and put your arse in eduction/work camp.
