    I think the isolationist position is mostly driven by our financial situation. Our greatest danger is our debt. I don't think that is hyperbole. We are not a manufacturing power anymore. Where we lead is in tech and money. We are being challenged on tech, and Taiwan is of critical importance. If we fuck up the dollar we are in deep shit.

    On a positive note. Z and other individuals looking for money will know how to dress and act when visiting the WH.
    Who cares what he dressed like? Not like Musk is wearing a suit and tie at the White House.

    When you've spent 300 million for a ticket inside our government to wreak havoc, guess you have to dress like a tech bro.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    "Remember back in 2015 when Professor Noam Chomsky warned that NATO pushing up to Russia’s borders and the 2014 coup made Ukraine’s tilt toward the West “unacceptable” to any Russian leader?" https://x.com/ricwe123/status/1895572107364614357
    When they say, “We must protect our democracy,” switch the word “democracy” to “bureaucracy”, and it will all make sense.

    "Geo-Political Scholar Jeffrey Sachs Schools the EU Parliament on the reasons behind the Russia Ukraine Conflict.

    Every-time Legacy Media or a Politician states the was is “unprovoked” is a complete lie.

    This doesn’t even include some of the more grotesque activities Ukraine has been well documented as being involved in."

    The 2014 Coup: How the West Installed a Puppet Regime in Ukraine

    Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine’s democratically elected president, wanted to balance Ukraine between East and West. He rejected a terrible EU trade deal that would have gutted Ukraine’s industry and instead sought closer ties with Russia. That was unacceptable to Washington.

    What followed was the Maidan coup—not a “people’s revolution,” but a Western-backed takeover.

    US officials, including Victoria Nuland and John McCain, openly supported the protests. Nuland was caught on a leaked call choosing Ukraine’s next leaders before Yanukovych was even removed. The violent street protests were driven by neo-Nazi groups like the Azov Battalion and Right Sector—groups that openly admire Hitler’s collaborators in Ukraine.

    Yanukovych fled, and Washington’s hand-picked government took over. One of its first moves? Banning the Russian language in official settings—a direct attack on the millions of Russian-speaking Ukrainians in the east.

    And that’s when Donbass and Crimea said enough.

    The War in Donbass: Ukraine’s War on Its Own People
    The people of Donetsk and Luhansk (also known as the Donbass) didn’t recognise the new, Western-backed regime in Kiev. They held referendums and voted to break away. Crimea, home to Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, also held a vote—with over 90% choosing to rejoin Russia.

    The response from Kiev? Brutal war.

    Instead of letting the Donbass go, Ukraine launched a military assault. For eight years, the people of Donetsk and Luhansk endured shelling, airstrikes, and blockades. Thousands of civilians died. Where was the Western outrage? Nowhere—because the media ignored it.

    Ukraine even used Nazi-linked militias like Azov to wage war on these civilians. These groups wore SS symbols, celebrated Nazi war criminals, and committed atrocities. And yet, the West armed them, trained them, and lied about their existence.

    Yes it is so important during a war due to the invasion of one’s country to wear a suit lol. Some people will go to the ends of the earth trying to back their position.

    Hell we have some people quoting known communists to try to prove Russia was in the right lol.
