    It is funny that Trump is uniting the world through their hatred of him. He ironically might be the best thing ever for the destruction of imperialism.

      It’s not hatred alone. The most optimal strategic plays are uniting with each other because Trump is playing his hand in such a way as to make it so.

      Think of it this way, do people hate street fighter players who only low kick? Yes. But if you have someone who just spams low kick, people are going to choose aerials way more often, not out of hatred, but because that’s what the meta demands.

        Much better way to describe this concept then my comment. It still funny that’s the result caused by his actions which is the exact opposite of what he wants to do.

    I can only assume the miracles he’s working are his ability to convince about 30-40% of the voting age population in the US that he’s not a complete piece of shit, despite the fact that he’s a convicted rapist, a coward, and very possibly a paedophile.

      the title refers ironically to Trump’s wild tariff pronouncements bringing India, a putative western ally, to repair relations with China. Modi also recently announced he will be making his first visit to China in seven years, which is where the “continues” probably comes from (EDIT: it could also be a reference to the recent trilateral talks between China Korea and Japan, or other similar developments).

      if you aren’t an anti-imperialist then joking references to “JDPON Don” or “Comrade Nation Builder” will not make that much sense to you

          they meant extremely online anti-imperialist, which is us here at Hexbear! people around here are always happy to explain all sorts of shit with walls of text if you ask! we have a bit of a reputation from people who come in JAQing off (meaning asking bad faith questions, basically negging in debate form) which we always spot right away and we don’t play along. but when normal people just ask like “hey I don’t understand that can you explain?” everyone’s an effort poster

          Welsh nationalist.

          I know nothing about what has been done to the welsh, but I assume this means fuck the british?

            It’s less ‘Fuck the British’ and slightly more ‘Fuck the English government’ but also not really that either.

            They came to Wales, robbed us of our language (As best they could - Check the Welsh Not if you’re interested), robbed us of our resources, and now they give us scraps from a table that was never built for us, as we’re shackled to the bloated corpse of a long dead empire.

            We want out.

      no they realize that he’s a piece of shit - that’s what they like about him, because they’re also pieces of shit

    Wait, they were suspended? That was very bad. 2 massive industrial countries should never suspend air traffic to one another (except if they make high speed rails wink wink). You can call me lib and I probably deserve it but I like the idea of EU mission. “make the borders so insignificant with trade and travel it becomes impossible to wage war and aggression”
