Trump 2.0

[moXJO]

The issue is the doctrine established after WWII has held world peace for an unprecedented time.
Trump has not only dismissed 1000s of key military and intelligence officers but cleverly give the whole axis of evil reasons to bond instead of reasons to argue.
I cannot remember a time when this has happened in my life time.

Did Xi have a squeaky old tank in his military parade?

Bad tak,e this was a negative for the US having to police it. Europe has only now pulled its finger out and started arming itself again. It was supposed to be spending a minimum of 2% of gdp. Instead they relied on the yanks and broke their end of the deal for decades.

Realistically Trump was the only one with balls to pull them up.

You have to remember @moXJO , the U.S has a Debt to GDP of about 120%, over $100,000 per U.S citizen.
They just have to keep printing money, so that the EU doesn't have to spend any, that's how socialism works.
As a famous quote said: Socialism is great, until you run out of other people's money to spend.


The West is in rapid decline and Trump is the only one who was saying anything about it.

But things are changing now that Trump has brought it to a head.

French PM loses confidence vote as country faces 'life-threatening' debt

The move will heap further pressure on French President Emmanuel Macron, who is now tasked with appointing a successor.

www.abc.net.au

Mr Bayrou called the confidence vote over the pressure France is facing to repair its finances, with last year's deficit nearly double the EU's 3 per cent limit of economic output and public debt reaching 113.9 per cent of GDP.

Defending his decision to call the high-risk confidence vote, Mr Bayrou told the National Assembly France's debt and deficit levels were "life-threatening".

"The biggest risk was not to take one, to let things continue without anything changing … and have business as usual," he said.

France is offering a terrifying glimpse into Britain’s future​

The country refuses to tackle over-spending, assuming it can borrow forever – and we are heading in the same direction

The actual level of debt can be misleading.
Debt per capita in Singapore is 50% higher than the US, but no one seems to worry.
Japans debt per capita is a bit less than that for the US, but its Debt as a percentage of GDP is more than twice that for the US.
Singapores debt as a percentage of GDP is also higher than that of the US, along with Italy and Argentina.

the real question is , who is the counterparty to the debt?
I have posted this US debt chart before.
80% of US debt is held by US institutions.
Are they going to cause default in their own country?

The next biggest Debtor, China, is rather difficult to quantify as the data from the middle kingdom is more opaque.
The best estimates of external debt vary from 20% to 40% depending on who you ask.
Nearly 90% of Japans debt is held internally.
The UK is a worry, as from what I could glean from the interweb was that for them its around 62% external debt.

US debt is GDP would be worse than France and despite the new import taxes is set to rise quickly.
It's going to get worse there also. Fortunately for the USA, they have the US$.

I am not sure though that stagflation will be good for them.

It's interesting as i read today that Asia and especially China are becoming deflationary again.
I don't know what is going to give first. We need to keep our eyes open and ignore the propaganda.

I guess the issue is, the U.S is the reserve currency and China, Russia and the rest of the BRICKcountries are trying to undermine the U.S position, eventually if the U.S debt keeps escalating unabated more countries will look for a more stable currency to underwrite international contracts.

The fiat system is basically based on trust and if the U.S can't get its debt under control, the $US position will become .ore tenuous, as has been shown by Trump saying he will punish countries that try to establish an alternative reserve currency.
Therefore the debt issue is far more relevant to the U.S than Japan or Singapore, the U.S having reserve currency status gives them a lot of influence and leverage, as was shown after the GFC.

"Charlie Kirk was shot and killed by an assassin while on stage during a stop at Utah Valley University kicking off his American Comeback Tour Wednesday, just as he answered a question from an audience member about mass shootings committed by transgender people.

The shooter remains on the loose, sources told The Post, despite conflicting reports that an arrest was made. Video was circulating on social media showing an older man being hauled away by police.

Even before Kirk’s death was confirmed, President Trump somberly spoke of him in the past tense, telling The Post, “He’s not doing well…yes, it looks very bad,” adding that he was feeling “not good” about the shooting.

“He was a very, very good friend of mine and he was a tremendous person,” the president said.

Kirk was rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency surgery, his condition touch-and-go, a nurse told a longtime friend and former Turning Point USA employee Laci Williams who relayed that information to The Post, later confirming reports he had passed away."

Some scum pundit they've brought in on MSNBC is saying about this assassinated man that he was "most divisive" and engaged in "hate speech".
He went unarmed into hive-mind college spaces, challenged their precious verities and invited debate under the banner of "Prove Me Wrong". The guy's a true martyr, not that that does him any good. Then again - he was a Christian.

They apparently have a real FBI now. If it is proven that this was an organized hit from some identifiable group, such as Antifa as a hypothetical, maybe that group ought to be designated as terrorist?

Shot after being asked about gun violence... Almost like it was a planned setup? I would imagine whoever asked that question is going to have every second of their life and every bit of online activity scrutinised with a microscope by US authorities.

Also wouldn't want to be the south park creators right now.

South Park?

South Park?

The show parodied (allegedly) Charlie Kirk several weeks ago which put his name across the media for a few days in the US in a negative way on certain networks.

Uncivilized cretin had 14 mug shots. It follows that they were just the offences he got arrested for. Liberal judges who get elected because they toe the line on leftist agendas unleashed him on the public. Some arseh'*le Democrat governor said in response to this atrocity that funding is needed for more policing. The police did their job.

It’s obviously a shocking crime, but it’s always hard to feel sympathy towards some one who has built a career on openly not feeling empathy towards others.

I mean he has openly fought against any sort of gun control, and said americas annual deaths from gun violence is worth it if it means they get to keep the eir gun rights…. Now he is amount the annual death rate he said was worth it.

His views that 10 year old rape victims carrying babies to full term is better than abortion rights were also fairly icky, he was was an extreme right wing apologist, I feel he has done a lot of damage, so while I am sorry for his family. He wasn’t a great person.
