“The rumour mill in Washington is already buzzing with talk that the US will threaten to impose tariffs on Taiwan unless it agrees to sell a significant chunk of TSMC, the world-leading semiconductor company, to an American buyer. If the US can reduce its reliance on Taiwanese semiconductors, then the way would be open for America to abandon Taiwan.”

comrades Trump and Musk leading the way to a brighter future

Even if true, it's interesting to note that the anti-European action came first. Trump talked a lot about withdrawing from bases in Japan, South Korea but it's only Europe and Canada that

The root reason for this is that everyone in Asia knows America is an occupier. South Koreans and Japanese hate having American bases and are no delusions about it being an occupation. Europeans are largely indifferent to this.

Can’t wait till the Donald deport all those fucking losers to XJP land. Work in Mid-west Chinese restaurant for 500 dollars a month… Good fucking God what kind of cucks are these?

PS If anyone knows someone like this in Texas IRL please contact me. I can provide board/meals on top of reasonably generous pay for a nanny for my unruly kid.

Reminds me of some interesting facts: on a per capita basis, more Americans emigrate than Chinese do, while Chinese have a better view about their future than Americans do.

Zelensky yelled at Trump’s envoy over minerals deal​

Volodmyr Zelensky reportedly lashed out at Scott Bessent, Donald Trump’s treasury secretary, in a recent meeting over the proposal to give the US rights to a large chunk of Ukraine’s rare and earth and critical minerals.

“He was very angry,” a person present at the talks told the Financial Times.

Senior Ukrainian officials also said that Mr Bessent had demanded the Ukrainian leader sign the deal right then and there.

But Mr Zelensky refused and his yells could allegedly be heard through the heavy doors of his presidential office.

Earlier, The Telegraph reported that Olga Stefanishyna, Ukraine’s deputy prime minister, said the negotiations have reached their “final stages”.

But Mr Zelensky refused and his yells could allegedly be heard through the heavy doors of his presidential office.

Michael Dunne should just be honest and write what he actually think are America's advantages: being White and Christian.

He's not wrong that freedom of speech is important for innovation, he just doesn't understand you need freedom of thought before you can have freedom of speech, and Americans have zero freedom of thought.

Boeing sells trash cans for $52,000 each if you are interested in snagging a few.

Turns out. HDMI Cables are also $10,000 each. Not made by Boeing.

"When I was at the Department of Defense, we were spending $10,000 on HDMI cables that were ‘ruggedized’ when we could have purchased them for $20 or $30 at Best Buy

One might argue HDMI cables from BestBuy are made in China, but let's be honest that $10k HDMI cable is probably also made in China.

It's funny that Americans who think business billionaires are qualified to improve government efficiency doesn't remember the universal method they do so is to buy everything from China.

Let's be honest, US oligarchs importing thousands of Chinese civil engineers to rebuild US infrastructure is too sensible for the American mind. Civil projects must be at least 270% over budget, delayed by half a decade, and protested every NIBMY of every demographic.

I wish this was a joke, but in the words of Childish Gambino: This is America

Musk is destroying the American economy. For every cable, the American GDP was increased by 10000 dollars at the same time the Chinese GDP was only increased by a pitiful 100 yuans.
