Bold words coming from a couch fucker.
Vance is Peter Thiel's hand puppet, just like Trump is Musk's. Thiel and Musk first came to serious money when they merged their companies to create PayPal, and since then they've been cooperating on various projects. Their current project is to establish corpo-feudalism in the US, and for that they need geopolitical isolation (Thiel's job) and the dismantling of all social safetynets (Musk's job). That's all the context needed to understand Vance's behaviour.
So Thiel is really in control then, since Musk is actually an idiot. The idea that Thiel thought "I can't trust this guy to do anything" when he kicked Musk out of PayPal, and now "Wait, I need someone to ruin something and run it into the ground, I've got just the guy" is somehow absolutely hilarious to me.
Well, it shows Vances vast knowlege of politics, history, and reality. It fits on a very small piece of paper.
I've read longer fortune cookies
I hope this guy is a blimp in history and nothing more.
Like the Hindenburg, I hope.
Excuse me, the Hidenburg was not merely a blimp, it was a rigid airship. JD could never.
JD rigid airships couches
He does strike me more as the flaccid type.
They do their best to get alienated from their allies, don't they?!
They are evidently trying to destroy the USA's traditional alliances and weaken its historical allies. The most immediate benefit is to Russia, but China also benefits while North America and Europe lose out. Their motivation seems to be that turmoil offers billionaires new opportunities to make more money, and they may also hope to strengthen their dealings with Russian oligarchs.
War is good for business.
And despite the next rule being "peace is good for business", that's not actually all that true.
Sounds like something a knob would say.
Not a knob, more of a bell-end.
What a knob, the Australians were right.
Welp, his education (if any failed him).
I hope he at least likes it when Putin’s balls slap his chin repeatedly.
What a weirdo
It's always projection.
