Trump 2.0 official thread

MAGA appears to have Roman notions of homosexuality in that they are more outraged that Epstein alleges trump fellated bill Clinton as opposed to the other way around, this is similar to the outrage where Caesar was the alleged receiving end of the homosexual advances made by the king of Bithynia.
I would argued that the Unification of Germany and the Franco-Prussian War of 1871 effectively killed the Concert of Vienna because both France (the continental status quo power) and Britain (the maritime status quo power) refused to give the unified Germany its proper place in the then international system. That led to the tragedy of WWI. So the problem for China that it faces the same old problems Kaiser’s Germany faced prior to WWI. However such a Great War may not be favourable to China since it is surrounded by powerful maritime powers AND continental powers bent on cutting off China’s trade routes. China itself today is a blend of maritime and continental power. It is a continental power because it has vast strategic depths like the old third-line along with a fully domestic defence industrial base. But it is also a maritime power because it increasingly relies on maritime trade routes to import raw materials and export of goods, forcing Beijing to have no choice but to spend vast sums on PLAN buildup (like Germany’s high seas fleet).
Trump supporters are basically like toddlers. They don’t care about facts,they get easily triggered when they see non whites or immigrants succeed, they live in a fantasy world on how economics or how diplomacy works. When you confront them they simply freak out and get angry. They are stupid and incompetent as their dear leader. Instead of blaming the corrupt pedophilic Zionist oligarch class for why the middle class is collapsing they blame immigrants and non whites.
I don't see how China is surrounded by continental powers bent on cutting off China.
No matter what happens - Russia, the Central Asian states, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Pakistan - would all want to continue trading with China.

Imperial Germany faced land powers (Russia+France) which were significantly larger and more powerful than Germany.
And as has been demonstrated previously, it is possible to conquer and occupy Germany.
In comparison, China's land borders are secure. That comes from China's much larger population, economy, industrial and military, combined with the terrain.
And no neighbouring country realistically thinks they can conquer and occupy even a fraction of China.

I also don't see China being surrounded by powerful maritime powers.
Today, the Chinese Navy has more than 2x the combat power of the Japanese Navy.
And the Chinese Navy continues to add a Japan-sized Navy every 4 years or so.
The other navies in Asia barely register.
So it's really only the US Navy which is the challenge, but only a fraction of the US Navy is deployed in Asia.
In comparison, the Imperial German Navy peaked at half the size of the WW1 Royal Navy, which was based in the UK, only a short distance away.
Plus the German naval shipbuilding rate never surpassed the British, who responded with even more naval shipbuilding.
In comparison, the situation today is China at twice the naval shipbuilding rate of the US.

Nah bro. You wrong. The self-proclaimed HKer thinks India is going to contain and cut off China's supply lines from across the Himalayas using their 10th Gen Vedik stealth fighters and hypersonic cow piss fueled missiles.
Is this the real reason why Hilary hates Trump so much?
Bill probably told her Trump does 10x a better job than her.
Vast Sums? China barely spend 1.2% of GDP officially on the military. China is still mainly running on easy mode when it comes to military. If China really gets serious about the military. They will be producing 2-300 fighter jets per year. atleast 200 destroyers will be in the navy.
