Paging Obed...


Nov 11, 2020, 7:57 AM

Obed®, remember what I feared would happen if Trump lost? And although I still think it's likely NOT to happen, the Sociopath in Chief sure is making it look like he's setting the stage.

KNEW I'd be hearing from you.

While I still say 99.9% chance nothing like that happens, I'll admit the move is a little strange to say the least.

It's petty at best, and feels a bit like high stakes trolling, which is beyond ridiculous if it's the case.

Nov 11, 2020, 8:53 AM

months, we only have covid to thank for it. Because I'm not sure there's been a better time for someone to do something stupid on the other side of the world in my lifetime, than right now.

Know your enemies, and know yourself. Russia wants Trump reelected. That weakens the US, and they know it. It weakens NATO. China wants Biden to win because they know that creates stability, and China is connected to the hip with the US economically. As it stands, China and Russia have both won in their eyes. As such, I'd look very hard at Russia to take advantage.

China/India is still a huge potential powder keg, and Iran is sitting there salivating.

Exactly.


Nov 11, 2020, 8:57 AM

Even if Trump doesn't have something sinister planned and he's just being as petty as he can before he leaves, this is opening up a really dangerous window for those countries you mentioned to start misbehaving.

China likes Biden because they want stability?


Nov 11, 2020, 8:58 AM [ in reply to If an enemy does not do something stupid in the next two ]

That might be the most generous premise I've heard in a while.

China does not want stability


Nov 11, 2020, 9:05 AM

China wants to be the global leader again.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


Economic stability. That's what they want.


Nov 11, 2020, 9:13 AM [ in reply to China likes Biden because they want stability? ]

China's interests in our election are economic. Russia's interest is military in nature. Russia wants NATO weakened, and their republics back. China wants economic power and are not in the land-acquisition game as much. China wants a stable money-spending US to buy their cheap crap so they make bank. Russia wants a broke US in a civil war. Two very different interests among "enemies". China has seen the way to expand power and influence is through economic prosperity. Russia has never known any way to gain power than through traditional land acquisition and military might.

The guys who study and know this kind of stuff, are the ones being fired/resigning, as mentioned in the article. Of all the departments in the US government, you want the military to be the one with their heads on straight. "Yes men" are what Trump loves and surrounds himself with. And those types are NOT what you want in charge at the Pentagon. AT ALL.

renegotiating trade deals and threatening boycotts if they don't stop currency manipulation. Yes, I can see why they would like that.

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.

Not sure what that means.


Nov 11, 2020, 9:04 AM

It's not Republicans or Democrats. It's the Secretary of State referring to Trump's second term in Imaginationland. This is, as far as I'm aware, unprecedented by any top official in any party. (Other than Trump obviously.)
