Turns out Trump can make any world leader look good.

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, seriously. Is there currently any leader who is more incompetent?

What he is doing to US is a gold mine for Russia and China.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

I'd say Kim Jong Un, but it already couldn't get any worse for North Koreans when he inherited the role.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 days ago

There’s gotta be at least one somewhere… but none come to mind.

There was an old Soviet joke. American and Soviet guys met at a bar and started talking about each other's countries. American said, "I have a freedom of speech, I can stand in front of the White House and yell "Reagan is an idiot", and nobody will do anything to me". And the soviet guy answered "well, I too have the same freedoms, I absolutely can stand on the Red Square and yell "Reagan is an idiot".

Back to your point, Wikipedia is blocked in China

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 3 points 2 days ago

One is known by the citizens the other isn't.

Chinese citizens can't just Google Kent State or MOVE or Waco or Ruby Ridge or Rodney King or anything like this.

Big big big difference

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah but the only people who are allowed to have a voice say China is great.

So checkmate yankee!

Inb4 the Chinese troll farms brigade this thread.

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

whataboutism 😎

[–] terraborra@lemmy.nz 21 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Had to check .ml hadn’t started bleeding through.

Chad Xi is not what I expected on a Friday night.

OP is an older account, his first comment (of 15 total) was just a few days ago. He posted a total of three posts, 2 of them being pro China, all of them within then same hour - smells fishy to me

[–] Noam_Parenti@lemm.ee -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm just finally switching fully to Lemmy. I'm not from .ml but Im probably aligned with them afaik. I'm a communist.

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 days ago

So am I. They're not communists. China isn't a commune and is as capitalist as you get lol.

A main tenet of socialism is helping your working class brethren, who do you think runs all the sweat shops the US doesn't run? India? Saudi Arabia and.... China!

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

They are starting to brigade the normal instances because nobody is paying attention to them anymore.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

β€œMy boot is tastier than your boot”

[–] Noam_Parenti@lemm.ee -4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

At least one of the boots has a functional healthcare system, high speed rail, 95%+ home ownership, no property taxes (except at point of sale), a good education system, etc.

The US is just 10 corporations pretending to be a government

[–] atlas@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

to the tankie triad with you

[–] nkat2112@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago

That was a strange way to misdraw Winnie-the-Pooh.

Moreover, while this is a win for Winnie, it bears noting that out-maneuvering Felon Drink Bleach is not exactly a high bar achievement.

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Hahahaha this post is so funny to me. 15 year goals, you mean because he's a dictator? Trade deal with Korea and Japan, your neighbors aren't trading with you?

Lmfao both shit head leaders are shitty. News flash

[–] 8000gnat@reddthat.com 1 points 2 days ago

if I was carrying water for communist china, I would simply not use the phrase "x year plan"

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah say what you want about Winnie Pooh, the guy should be put against the same wall where he has put soany others, but at least he knows what he's doing.

Trump is just peak USA, loud useless cruel fluff

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I'd say Trump is peak ruZZian cum sock. Bernie Sanders is more peak American. Yelling into the void expecting nothing and still ending up disappointed.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This was truly the most poorly planned and executed trade war I have ever seen put into motion.

It was literally the opposite of everything a person should do, and it failed just as spectacularly as expected.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

The thing a person should do is not start a trade war. Every economist told him this was a bad idea.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

All I see are two boorish children that hide their cowardice behind giant meaningless parades.

Am I missing something?

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days ago

Ah. I seen you've read the Art of War. Tell me again, when should i appear weak and when should I appear strong?

Get fucked.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

bro why is his bulge so big?

Its based off of the Chad vs virgin memes

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

More importantly, why is one foot backward? Combine that with a bulge the size of his thigh and I can’t help but see a butt

Nah this is another European century

Truly embracing the do nothing and win strategy that Valve came up with.
