The "power nations representing western values" is literally just another way to describe most versions of "globalism"


This is what I’m talking about regarding your definition of globalism. It’s nonsensical.
What’s Sankey’s political party and view point? This smacks of the desperate law-fare type persecution engaged in by radical democrats.
quote:

Iran is a beacon of anti-globalism. That's why it's strongly allied with the #1 opponent of globalism, Russia. Venezuela was anti-globalism and allied with Russia, too. Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and NK were all the primary opponents to globalism up to 2026.


Why do you view international diplomacy, trade, and power dynamics through a binary lens of Globalist v. Anti-Globalist?

First, you’re using a washed out and meaningless definition of globalist, and secondly, you seem oblivious to other motivations.

Applying the term anti-globalist to a radical Islamic state that is a repressive theocracy intent on warring with the power nations representing western values is quite a stretch.

Swing and a miss.
I went to Venice a couple of months ago and I loved it. Very cool place.

I don’t doubt that pick pockets are a problem, in fact, I was warned about them all over Italy.

We took precautions and I was alert without being stressed about it. We had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend the place.

I loved the omnipresence of churches and religious iconography, and I loved the boating, sea merchant, and fisherman feel to the place. It somewhat reminded me of Louisiana fishing towns but with way more history and 100 x’s more beautiful.
All in….
The Family was brought in that same year…. :lol:
Is she still dating star LSU linebacker, Whit Weeks? I’m pretty sure she is.
Prior Spouses:

Matthew Eyet
(m. 2011; div. 2019)

Gregg Reuben
(m. 2020; div. 2026)

42 years old with 2 kids and 2 ex-spouses

That’s called ALLOTTA BAGGAGE
Dudes who cosplay as women should NEVER be allowed around children, much less entrusted to care for them, much less unsupervised, much less infants!
A 25 year old white woman, presumably fresh out of college with a degree that lets her be a “pediatric crisis therapist”?

A guy in “hiking pants”? We’re not talking about gym pants.

And the lack of any details provided, such as “exposed his penis”, or stroked his penis”, etc.

And the airline let the guy “walk away”?

Maybe a “Lindsay Clancy supporter” with an active feminist imagination and victim complex falsely accusing a poor sap who simply had to adjust his package?

The point of the thread is a nothingburger. A nothingburger you have predictably argued both sides. Because your only principle is OMB. You aren’t special. You’re just another TDS infested idiot.


This pretty well nails it.
quote:

My man, you think an airplane flyover is going to “set the tone” for negotiations between the two most powerful countries in the planet


You’re insufferable. Whatever guy. You’re the one shite posting in a thread about Trump. It appears the fly over got under YOUR skin, right?

If you were president, you’d give Xi a handjob on the tarmac I suppose?
Sorry, I’ll lower my vocabulary to match your comprehension level.

In other words, Trump got dat big dick energy. Xi might be all, so what, but Trump be all yea I’ll show you what.
quote:

Do you not think Xi’s advance people saw Trump do the exact same thing to Putin two years ago? And that they did not tell him what was likely to happen?


So, this time, Trump’s personae is burnished with elements of tenacity and obstinacy by repeating his symbol of strength?

I’m okay with it.
quote:

And so your contention is that there will be a material change in the outcome of this negotiation because of the flyover than if the flyover didn’t happen?

That’s a de minimus way to approach the topic.

It was a tone setter. Like bringing flowers to a first date. Does bringing flowers materially change the outcome of the date? Possibly, but what follows the flowers is infinitely more impactful.

I guess they don’t teach the adage of “the loudest guy in the room is the weakest guy in the room” at welding school.


They definitely don’t teach the horrors of communism and the psychological of dictators in whatever liberal arts college you attended.
quote:

Its symbolism, but the wrong symbolism ya'll think.


Is that a question or a statement of your opinion?

Strongman leaders, aka Dictators like Xi and Putin, aren’t “intimidated” by the symbolic show of strength, but they know it sets the terms of the negotiations.

Too many prior presidents led with doves and olive branches only, and dictators definitely took that as a sign of weakness.
quote:

China isn't scared of a b1 lancer.


I think you missed the point.

It’s not the bomber itself. It’s the total package of Trump, who’s willing to sonic blast his adversary at the beginning of a negotiation.
His showmanship bravado is an asset in diplomatic relations, especially with rivals and adversaries, even if it’s not generally the way we view ourselves as Americans.

He truly is a “Shane like” gunslinger, as V.D. Hanson describes him. Not part of polite society, but needed at this time to protect polite society as the post-war order starts to crack.
Its too bad we can’t ignore these leftist lunatics. They seek attention. Starve them of the attention they seek. But alas, social media and leftist news always highlight these crazies to get clicks.
