As he extends the war in Ukraine by giving Russia more money.

As he extends the war in Iran so the Oil Olgiarchs rake in more money.

As he extends blowing up civilians in international waters to engage in more Imperialism.

As he extends his calls that US citizens are the enemy to divide and fracture society in an attempt to start a civil war.

The prince of peace. /s

Traitor says what?

All I heard was I don’t care about war. Not caring about the most important thing in the US is pure blasphemy! /s

It is the perfect tool for the rich, they can influence it, you can’t see how it makes its decisions, and it can’t be held liable.

As he buys diesel from Russia that is actively committing war crimes.

“ICC bad duuur they say what I do illegal”, or something equally dumb.

Criminals avoiding judgement.

It should be illegal to have the government or any entity with power deceive or lie to you. Using the best of psychology to manipulate people should absolutely be a serious crime. Instead, corporations and governments do this everyday with impunity.

Savage!

Not saying this has never happened, but this is straight out of Faces of Death and was 100% fake

Plus, lizard people.

The oil barons have Europe, Australia, and Asia over a barrel (pun intended). With the help of the US government along with a bunch of other nations and paramilitaries they have ensured they are going to make a ton of money due to this manufactured oil shortage. I have a hard time believing this is all a side effect instead of the intended effect.

What they lack in technology they make up for in brutality. Also, they aren’t that far behind building out their dystopian surveillance state.

Lol probably, Tik Tok is also a lot different for the American audience. Things that would never be allowed in China, especially for young adults, are permitted in the US. Of course you could argue they are just doing what US companies do in the free for all that is social media.

I think the damage US corporations have done is truly unparalleled. When it comes to big tech China still pales in comparison in the Western world. That is until you consider Tik Tok, which is the most influential of social media for the under 30 market. Is Tik Tok really a bad influence or better or worse than something like Facebook is very debatable as well.

It is a matter of opinion of course, but the amount of surveillance, firewalls, and censorship combined with the fact that it is mostly state sponsored really puts China in its own category.

Certainly the US has caused much more overall harm on a global scale though.

A couple things, you are absolutely correct about the hypocrisy. All modern major manufacturers are doing the same thing. Calling out China without mentioning this is definitely a disservice.

On the invasion of privacy through spying, China is undoubtedly the worst followed by the US and Russia.

When it comes international predations I think you are correct. The US is the worst. Russia next then Israel and China. France and Germany probably fit in here somewhere as well with the selling of arms around the world.

Every set of policy decision has its winners and losers. It really feels like everyone other than the grifter-in-chief and his pals are losing now though.

Prop us up or else!

Oil markets. China stopped importing almost half of their ten million per day oil usage by using their vast stocks.

This is propping up the oil markets and kept the worst of price instability in check.

Well there is no doubt Xi has been running cover for Trump thus continuing to legitimizing him on a world scale. If not for China, the US would have already crashed hard. I suspect this has more to do with keeping people wealthy than any nation bullshit though.
