The first "attempt" was just a staged fire into the crowd event. Trump's ear got injured when a SS guard bumped his holster into him.
The main US motivation in all wars, is to enrich weapons and oil industries. Winning or losing is both an end to a war. Only the process of losing motivates more funding, because the alternative is that the enemy wins... until the boondoggle seems too hopeless. The US would take civil war more seriously.
It's biggoted to say the Taiwanese are insufficiently biggoted to be motivated to suicide?
I'm stating facts: https://focustaiwan.tw/cross-strait/202402230019
Seems hateful and biggoted to suggest Ukraine provides a great role model to change their minds. The empire subjugation level is so intense on Lemmy, it's hard to comprehend. My post had plenty of content other than the obviousness that war is bad and not favoured in Taiwan, but mention that Ukraine is neither angelic, nor successfully supported by west, and all marbles are lost in apoplectic heresy, because your identity is wrapped into "prosperity depends on war on Russia and China", as if you shouldn't be prevented from voting.
The US/Israel influence over Lebanon has always involved supporting its central government over Hezbollah. Hezbollah is popular where it is popular, and has parliamentary representation, and even the US favorites don't support US over Hezbollah in terms of being pro-Lebanon/ non-treasonous/complete puppet. Its just usual US divisiveness with no carrots for Lebanon/people.
What Syrian Utopia do you envisage?
There are plenty of alternatives to eat the rich.
UBI does not make the rich any poorer. It just decentralizes power so that all can survive and eliminates crime.
While our electoral politics is divided between either "pro business" or "hamas supporting communist radical left", it could seem reasonable to constrain oligarchy and Israel first rule while still being pro economic growth and prosperity. This requires an "eat the media stooges" who refuse to tell the difference along with a forceful message that the DNC doesn't support.
Understanding that DNC are worthless pig fuckers meant to fundraise and not empower ordinary people is step 1 to progress.
AGI helps in fusion energy?
The wildest theoretical hopes for fusion energy still produces electricity at over 30c/kwh. Zero economic value in fusion.
The notion that AI will solve the climate crisis is unbelievably stupid, not because of any theory about what AI may or may not be capable of, but because we already know how to fix the climate crisis!
Its a political problem. Nationalizing the western oil companies to prevent them from lobbying, and to invest their profits in renewables, is a solution, but no party in the CIA Overton window would support it. If war and human suffering can be made a priority over human sustainability, then oil lobbyists will promote war.
The example of Ukraine is discouraging to any "Taiwan militarist extremism". What instigates an invasion or blockade of Taiwan by China is Taiwan declaring its acceptance of NATO membership, and US missile bases, or 51st state./US territory.
Both the Taiwanese population and current parliamentary majority are against the path of national suicide that Ukraine has taken. US promise to bomb TSMC themselves, and the failure to defeat Russia, in order to focus on creating war in Taiwan is not going to have short term success in convincing Taiwanese to follow Ukraine's stupidity. Ukraine was "blessed" with extremely hateful nationalists with ww2 and prior grudges against Russia, and an opponent that seemed to be weakening. Fortunately, Trump threatening to force Taiwan to pay for US protection instead of fomenting nazi-like extremism, with cash/weapons support of such groups, cannot possibly be successful in instigating war.
- Ethnic supremacy supporting genocide of "inferior" is the lesser criteria.
- Anti-communism. The major centrality.
Germany's resentment of Jews stemmed from German zionism's cooperation with US to defeat Germany in WW1, and Jews as communist leaders in Russia and Europe, as well as Jewish diaspora voting for the main (communist) opposition party in Germany, before Reichstag fire provided opportunity to ban the party.
Ukraine's ethno-nationalism is heavily inspired and celebrating, at the top ruler level, of its ww2 nazi collaboration path that included extermination camps and SS divisions massacring other ethnicity non soviet occupied/protected villages and towns. Today's demonic support for Ukrainian nazis from Europe is entirely motivated by Stalin/USSR derangement syndrome, and there is no hate the US won't politically manipulate to subjugate idiots into devoting their subjugation to a war on Russia.
Nazis and Islamic fundamentalists (Syria and Iraq examples) are self-motivated destabilizing agents for US empire. Romanian NATO intervention in democracy is a reaction against "far right anti-nazi". Anti-naziism is now a anti-zionist position. Neocon diaspora supports outright naziism in Ukraine and Israel, and the brainwashed left that tolerates naziism and Islamic fundamentalist agents of Empire is no obstacle to far right at home that includes in US a neo-nazi faction that hates muslims and loves Israel to the point in attacking university BDS anti genocide protesters. The level of American brainwashed stupidity supporting your own slavery and oppression is beyond comprehension, except for the fact that DNC got the election result that it thinks is the most sustainable for the neocon Israel first DNC, and that is beyond morons comprehension level.
Bests timeline has him replacing Rubio and both fired days after confirmation.
