Hua Guofang Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Yep, up to date now and is the obvious play. They won't want Bloomberg nor Warren. Sanders and Biden will be their choices. Biden has been injured by the smear campaign and the failure to remove Trump from office and Sanders is divisive and will cause the Dems to disintegrate and fight internally. Also helps Trump because he will be able to fool the rubes by saying "How could the Russians be supporting me and supporting my opposition at the same time" - "We already proved that the Russia hoax was a hoax [which it obviously wasn't - Hua] because I'm the toughest president ever on Russia, and that's why they're now backing my opponent, Vladislav Sanders". Or some shit like that, which the cult of Donny will lick up. And for the record, I don't see Trump as the problem. I see him as the outcome of a broken system where elite interests have hijacked the democratic process, where the media has become partisan entertainment and the interests of the average person are no longer the priority of those elected. When that happens, political systems become open to the populist salesmen: "I'm not like them, I'm like you and I won't lie, I'll tell you straight because I'm for the nation, not like the other guys". There's lots of historians that write about the populist always following a severe economic downturn. They come along, act like they have the answers (and that they were always easy, it's just that the others are idiots/corrupt), but it's never the case. They always get found out but not before they damage the system. However, the system has to be fucked first before they can be given the chance to get their hands on it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty_habiT Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I agree @Hua Guofang- I think there are several other big n words now too. Bigot, fascist, homophobe, etc etc etc. People say these to others in front of an "audience" so that they can "publicly shame" those that have passed their litmus test for public shame. I say it's another form of virtue signaling. Just call someone else a certain word that is "hated" and by doing so you distance yourself from anyone that is "like that" and display your disgust for them at the same time. The same reason the n word is bad, it's not dignifying and by calling someone else that you have effectively put yourself on a pedestal and said "i'm better than they are because they're a __________". So, in today's society, many words fit into that blank and people chuck them around freely when they are unhappy about something. I think it stems from a lack of parenting, they never got taught the lesson that you don't always get your way and you don't do vindictive/vengeful things to "pay someone back" when you feel that you've been somehow wronged by something they did. Society acts like a bunch of animals and children, and I don't mean cool ass animals, I mean like omnivore animals that just fuck and eat plants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also invited a local terrorist there to diner. This resulted in India's PM totally snubbing him All this was before our last election in 2019. Canada has become a running gag and pathetic caricature ( not that we were ever really considered anything but) They re elected him.. tells you a lot about Canadians and how daft most of them are. He's done so much harm to Canada's rep and credibility in the last 5 years that I genuinely feel we may never recover. We used to sit at the grown ups table despite being a tiny insignificant country on the world stage. We've been relegated to the kiddie table with all his buffoonery and I just don't see a path to regain that respect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada is still taken seriously in the Indo-Pac. You're carrying on the same way you accuse people of doing when they freak out over Trump. I'm not sure who the 'terrorist' was that your PM had dinner with but not overly surprised that Modi snubbed Trudeau. Modi is a hardcore nationalist and populist, he's the same kind of politician as Trump is. Trudeau is moralistic with progressive values (lol, blackface) and has criticised Modi for some of his pro-Hindu policies. India is also looking to move a bit closer to the US at the moment because they need to balance against China's growing influence - they need to move closer to China as well to balance the US, but they'd always prefer Washington to have the ascendency. Google 'the Quad" and Malabar exercises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hua Guofang Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 hahah, I love how they're still called the mounted police. @KultsCanadian navy may not be huge or overly potent but it is seen as highly professional and a valuable partner in the region. The RCMP are also valuable partners in terms of intelligence sharing, particularly around their experiences with home grown terror as well as counter-espionage given their sizable diaspora communities. The soldiers are also well respected. With those kinds of fundamentals the leaders don't matter so much, especially when they are very unlikely to shift the nature and character of the country and it's foreign relations. Leaders like Trump and Modi are different. They ARE changing the nature of their societies, they are changing the way they interact with partner countries and they are changing the nature of their governments/bureaucracies. Trudeau is not doing any of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada and Australia are part of 5 eyes, being part of that group gives both our countries outsized impact in the world. Canada has NATO and Australia has ANZUS, that too gives us more power than neutrality would. Leaders come and go but those security alliances remain in place and that alone illustrates whether a country is taken seriously or not. .
