Japan, the EU and China projected to outperform the US economically for the first time ever

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well he definitely a vegetable of some kind..😷

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I've never said Trump was a plant at all, that's not what is going on here. I didn't even think he was a plant the first time.

You can logically deduce that when we have nowhere to turn to, the countries left are typically not going to be our original allies.

Given Trump's affinity for power as narcissist, narcs typically lean towards those things as a natural consequence to lacking neurons in their brain for self reflection.

And there's anti gay laws in Russia I don't agree with so I don't approve of Putin but it's not like Putin is dumb either.

Putin may not have interest in the US but he needs support and many other things.

Trump will give it freely and he knows that.

Putin isn't stupid, I've never thought he was.

@SatanBurger That is the implication with the Russia and North Korea references. It has become a dog whistle.


On that you are correct. But it will not be countries already allied with China, Iran, and basically every country that wants nothing to do with Americans.

The Gulf States only care about Americans as far as they will protect their vast fortunes and prop up their medieval kingdoms.

If you want to see who is left it is countries that still vote with the US on Israel. Tiny countries entirely dependent on the US that they will go down with the ship no matter what.


I don't approve of the anti gay laws in Russia either. But Putin is not actually to blame for those. That is entirely at the feet of the Orthodox Church. Russia has a weird left over law on the books from the USSR. Basically it states that if you have a certain amount of signatures on a petition the local government representative in the Duma is required by law to present it as a proposed law bill.

Those anti gay laws were also massively overblown too. Most of the hysteria was traced back to a random Canadian travel blog of all things.

And Russia also doesn't have any law against priests telling people to vote for something from the pulpit.

The exact same thing would happen in the US or probably Canada if there was a similar law here too.

The US has nothing Putin cannot get from China or India who are both allies. Both of which are new military superpowers.

Trump is a simple and self absorbed man. He is already throwing a tantrum at Putin because he won't do what he wants.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Thanks for the clarification, I didn't know that about the church or the law. I know it had pull like that but didn't know those other things before.


Didn't know that, thanks.

@SatanBurger Yeah. It is a huge problem. It means the Patriarch can basically write laws.

Just be glad people like Kenneth Copland don't have access to a legislative loophole like that.

Yeah. Russia, China and India have less formal mutual defense pacts.

In fact Russia and China just issued a reminder of that when it was just leaked that Trump ordered the Pentagon to prep for a war with China.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow There's already Evangelical preachers calling on Trump to target churches with pride flags on them to put them out of business. He said he wanted to give LGBTQ+ churches back to conservatives while kicking them out in the street. He also said that it was better than what he originally wanted to do and bring out the guillotine.

It was another video I shared but he said they been driving around for years making a list of churches that had women in their congregate and pride flags out front.

So if we had a law like that we'd be screwed worse as most religious conservatives support the death penalty.


I love how Trump thinks people would go to war during this time. I think he thinks everyone loves him. Even if we were drafted, I'd have no doubt most people would just say no.

@SatanBurger That is terrifying.

@SatanBurger My instinct is to invite Americans here but unless someone in Ottawa figures out the housing crisis for the people we already have It would be a rough ride.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Thats a sub plot of Handmaids tale, right there..😷
