You're giving Trump way too much credit.

Tillerson was ousted by the mere fact that he bucked Trump. He was fired right after he contradicted the White House, again.

Trump really is a proto-fascist, in the sense that direct fascism out of the pentagon comes right after him. Prepare for a no bullshit one party state.

I think the CIA taking over the Dems is an exaggeration. The reason we're seeing so many veterans running as Democrats is because the party is trying to reconnect with the "working man" and those people have a fetish for men in uniform.

According to sources, Johnny McEntee was fired because he is currently under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security for serious financial crimes.

Add another crook to the list.

In all likelihood it's going to be China.

It would end with HD Streams of the new hypersonic Chinese missiles wiping out 2 carrier groups in the first 24 hours before it goes nuclear

that cloud is gonna wipe out most of humanity though

Would the Chinese military really be that capable by then? Even now, their soldiers are relatively well under-equipped in comparison to American ones, despite there being more of them. Also, the Chinese population is stagnating while the American one is rising steadily. Furthermore, would the American anti-missle systems really not be apt in taking Chinese missles out, particularly ones intended for taking out carriers? And with this, the USA has much more nukes and a more developed nuclear program than China does, however they both have a considerable amount which would certainly make an impact, given that at least a small portion of them land.

It'll really make about a third of the continental USA inhabitable, with the rest being covered with a considerable amount of ash. There will be spillover to Canada and Mexico, and maybe some sparse fallout elsewhere, but really it'll be just a North American thing it seems. If that does happen, though, the USA will be kneecapped, requiring martial law, large loans, and the like then.
Did you mean some different kind of cloud though?

Come on, we were expecting this. Trump is just one man, he can't impede American imperialism for long by himself.

In which ones, for instance?

Aren't they at least somewhat capable? Furthermore, with everything there are measures and countermeasures – it's like a hand-stacking game, like rock-paper-scissors. The Pentagon, for one, will respond with laser systems. The Russia show will only lead to the development of new, more aggressive, and more technologically-advanced countermeasures that will likely in turn lead to increase military budgets as the big countries continually try to out-piss each other.

I suppose so, however there might be adaptations despite initial losses in the decade-long chilly period. Perhaps they'll use the ash as fertilizer or something, and the hot countries might in turn take on the role of farming.

I somewhat believed your post until you gave the universal indicator that it's not going to happen.

Ok, what the fuck is Trump's actual game plan? What is he trying to do? Is he gearing up for war with Iran? The North Koreans? Is Trump even taking the job seriously? Is he literally just memeing and being an ironic president?

This post is trash. Laser anti-missile systems do not exist.

hypersonics, railguns, spaceborne systems, missiles, and naval design
People don't realize how far the US has fallen behind or how much the US military has degraded over the last 30 years

Sure, against missiles from the 70s and 80s maybe

Why is left-wing internet so strongly anti Russiagate? It's pretty obvious that Trump is compromised by the Kremlin, or at least behaving like he is. Is it just because Hillary believes it that you all feel obligated to disagree with her?

??? Maybe not ones that can adequately take out hypersonic missiles currently, although it would be very naive to think America is just going to sit back and watch.

Of course there's going to be an arms race, but that shit will take decades to develop competently. Not even our state-of-the-art anti-nuke systems work competently. Furthermore, most nuke experts aren't even sure if Russia's new toys even exist and, if they do, how well they'd actually perform. Your posts have been nothing but Holla Forums-tier Tom Clancy scenarios. Stop.

How fucking bad does shit have to be for this to happen? He's one of the biggest "take no shit" people out there.

It's certainly true, imo. However, the fear of Russian influence will be used to justify attacking leftist movements in the US. I think some people are looking at that and deciding it means the whole thing is bullshit.

Don’t you know user? Pandering to Soviet nostalgia is actually existing socialism, so that means Russia is socialist and is exempt from criticism or negative commentary of any kind.

lol

It's true that the American anti-nuke system is outdated, however that's because it won't be as necessary as lower-level defenses. If someone does nuke them, then it's likely not going to go so well for whoever did, and virtually nobody wants to do that so there isn't that much of a need to upgrade the system. Likely, China and Russia do have some new military features however are rudimentary, and the USA can always catch up borrow some ideas in this. China can foreseeably have an advantage because of its rapidly growing industry, influence, and massive labor force, as well as its intelligence which it uses to borrow ideas much itself.

I think that's a little overblown considering the GOP is balls deep in this scandal. "Russian Interference" will become synonymous with the right wing shenanigans.

Any attempt to attach it to left will just fall flat, like when they tried with Bernie.

So war with the Norks, Iran and Syria back on the table? Jesus Christ.

t. liberal

Get ratings.

Yes, we know that you don't understand American imperialism.

The fact is most of these people are slipping and sliding from one room to another making decisions made on paper long before this time, but the fact is this Administration is too poorly staffed to make any headway being organized.

It's a fucking mess, if you can't see that, I don't know. They're operating off what they wanted to do during the Obama Administration. I must admit, I enjoy the idea of a decade spanning agenda, but beyond what you and I would probably agree with the US wants

these people are fucking terrible at their job and making the US government understaffed and generally weak. It's like watching the Titanic in slow motion.

I don't think Trump knows what the fuck he wants. Neither do all these fucking turkey neck pig like pink-red Republicans do either, they all just operate on gut and want war or aggression as long as it doesn't harm their personal fortune.

Really it wouldn't be that much different if we were run by intelligent Iguanas at the moment.

You were saying?

If you paid attention to the news, the fact that Congress overturned the veto on Russian sanctions, which Trump does not want to enforce, when they praised him for throwing some missiles at Syria and urging him to throw more, when the media condemned him for sitting down with North Korea, it would be clear to you that the US establishment is perfectly aware of what it wants and how to pursue it, i.e. continuation of American imperialism.

Attached: 245.jpg (544x544, 58.3K)

Example on a bit of the staffing problem in the State Department, that is outside of what the US already has, that is currently crippling them already

The only thing to expect out of this is more aggression towards Iran, and an insane amount of aggression towards Syria. And a weaker US government flooded with spooks with their gloves off.

What US establishment? You seriously underestimate how much of this is just screaming interest groups who have a say, but ultimately little real power to do EXACTLY word for word what they want, why do you think they're so frustrated.

I'm not disagreeing with the fact America is an Imperialist power you fucking retard, I'm questioning their effectiveness at this point when entire halls of the government are currently empty and unstaffed and have no plan of being staffed.

And it gets worse every month.

These people are idiots.

Oh no, the poor babies.

They won't attach it to the left, they'll just roll out an overt police action courtesy of Mueller and grab everyone who's not toeing the neolib line under the guise of "muh russia and china"

That's because Trump is not part of the establishment, and has little indication of playing ball with them.

What would police action even look like? You can't just imprison the thousands of American socdems without raising eyebrows, there's not enough virile hatred for it

Yes you can.
Yes there is.

That's wrong, the establishment is just fucking retarded malevolent neocons who are only semi competent and just want to retire with as much money as possible and as much influence as possible. But it doesn't always work out.

Trump has been president for a year, there is nothing more "establishment" than that.

This is about strategic skill like a 5 year old old playing fucking, some grand strategy game. They don't have a clue, the answer is always relying on the Pentagon for answers at this point. There is very little beyond that.

Nope, no sabotage of a historical public institution in favor of private enterprise here, no sir.

how the fuck

So you're saying Obama started it?
I think you're missing a key aspect of Trump's personality her, as in, he has no personality. There's no need to coup him at all to get all his power. He's a void in more ways than one. Have you noticed how he always agrees with whomever he's speaking, so long as it's not already an enemy of his? That's how he does business and governs, he does whatever the person he trusts the most amongst those who voiced a proposal tells him to do. In case of conflict, he sides blindingly with the side he trusts the most, and next morning you see the other person got dismissed. Endear yourself to him and mind your place in the pecking order, and you're golden. If anything, couping, impeaching, killing etc. him would mean a sane person on the top spot, which would be much harder to control. Trump is the perfect puppet, because he actually does say what whomever is farthest up his ass wants him to.

Corbyn is the one who'll get A Ver British Coup'ed

Wait so she would be banned from the EU for violating International Law, if she decided to step foot in the EU? How the fuck was this a wise choice for a CIA director hahahahaha

Is there a NazBol edit of this?

Trump told Cabinet secretaries and top advisers during a meeting at the White House last week that he wanted to soon hit China with steep tariffs and investment restrictions in response to allegations of intellectual property theft, according to three people familiar with the internal discussions.
During the meeting, which hasn’t been previously been reported, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer presented Trump with a package of tariffs that would target the equivalent of $30 billion a year in Chinese imports. In response, Trump urged Lighthizer to aim for an even bigger number

aides said the administration is considering tariffs on more than 100 Chinese products ranging from electronics and telecommunications equipment to furniture and toys. Those tariffs are expected to be rolled out as soon as next week, the officials said, adding that the timing could slip

REV UP THOSE WHATEVERS

You're half-joking, but going to war for the sake of saving the empire is more likely than you think. Beyond the ol' transfer of wealth to the MIC, war serves a very, very important function if you're a overgrown Porky with more capital than you can invest: it destroys a shitload of value in very little time, heating up economy at home and providing "rebuilding opportunities" to the poor saps he just bombed into the stone age. It's consumption in fast-forward, but with tens of millions of victims as a side effect, whom Porky obviously doesn't give a shit about. In other words, it's dropping the "neo" from neoimperialism, meaning a return to wars of conquest as business ventures.

But it won't be China anytime soon. Beyond the traditional excuse of the deep economical ties, simply ask yourself: when was the last time America punched at anything near its own weight?

Just the other day I read an article which the guy concluded listing the 3 scenarios that could pan out for the dumpster fire that is the current world, and war was the least likely one, but still. And of course, I can't remember the damn article now, not even the writer.

They're all porkies, and they all have a million dealings with foreign businesses and governments. The media could pick any higher echelon American politician and tie them to just about any government in the world any time they wanted. A dissenting journalist here calls it "the news bargain bin", because the media just ignores it all until the moment calls for a specific person or group to get tarred and feathered, and presto, they have the exact news for it ready to go. That's big media everywhere, in communist or capitalist countries, they're always concubine to power.

It just happens that now a) tying Trump to Russia is extremely politically convenient for several reasons and b) they're amplifying it with a factoid by deliberately conflating those ties with Russians hacking our election, which is pure and unadulterated bullshit (speaking of which, remember Cuba's "sonic attacks"? wew). Everybody else's sleazy ties remain waiting in the bargain bin until and if they're needed, and 99% of people will never even know they existed, let alone what they were.

I'd say the biggest targets remain Iran or Venezuela

What a fucking excuse

Reminder Hillary wanted a No Fly zone over Syria, and we'd be balls deep in WW3 and nukes by now. Trump bought us at least a year before something like that can happen.

Seriously this. If the GOP can hold onto what they have now through 2018 and 2020, they can Gerrymander themselves into a defacto one party state. Even before then they can pass laws like Voter IDs or raising the voting age to 21 to hurt Democrats. And in the event Democrats somehow do edge in, it'll be a former CIA plant so nothing changes.

How about you fuck off back to plebbit.

No because the US government has hypersonic missiles too, and has had them for some time. Notably, the hypersonic missiles the US has would be launched from F-35s based off of carriers, protecting them. The USAF has also long tinkered with lasers, a thing the USN already employs.

Taking down the US isn't easy and in a war any other country would loose, even before it goes nuclear. But this is hardly a problem when Trump and the rest of the government is rapidly becoming isolationist. Besides the war on ISIS (which will die down) their concerns will return to the homefront while the rest of the world crashes and burns without an active US supporting it.

A one party state means full, true and honest capitalism supplied to Americans raw without lube. Democrats being ousted would open the door to a new gilded age, exactly the gilded age which led to socialism being a thing in America at all in the early twentieth century.

We're already living in a new gilded age.

Do you honestly think Trump wouldn't do this shit with, now a CIA director as Secretary of State, a notoriously horrible one, is going to go better?

Where have you been, the past year?

This "muh hillary" American electoral BS has got go, shut the fuck up already, you should have learned your lesson like a spoiled boy does.

The election doesn't fucking matter anymore. You bought into this shit, and your response is "Well I dunno" you're just as bad as Hillary voters, both of you are fucking unbearable

Fuck off already

user…

I think there's a very important fact no one seems to have noticed: Trump seems to be the first president, or even first among all top American Statesmen, who actually believes in the hyperreality. He's basing his decisions on a fictive world scenario.
newyorker.com/magazine/2018/01/15/how-fox-and-friends-rewrites-trumps-reality

This also explains the obsession with Obama's administration. The purveyors of Trump's hyperreality spent 8 fucking years painting Obama as a dictator, then Trump gets elected (by accident, lest we forget), and he's disappointed that there isn't just a bill to cancel Obamacare on the Oval Office desk just waiting for his signature on day 1. "I thought it would be easier", the moron says, having fallen for the hyperreality meme. His entire worldview is one big spook.

Come on, man. Charles II of Spain and Ferdinand I of Austria were literally imbecile who fucked everything up, but that has no bearing on their status as aristocracy. Trump is as porky as it gets and shares almost all the same interests as the rest of his class does, he just happens both be a moron and not have the proper backing of any single porky faction for several reasons. Just relax and enjoy the reign of the third great idiot-king, Donald I La Luz Extinguido of Mar-A-Lago.

Then imagine everything happening now but harder and more intense. Things can always get worse and based on history, Republicans have shown they only do bad things when given undisputed control over the entire Federal government. Again the last time they did that they fucked things up so much the Democrats stopped being the southern party and did things like issue silver-backed coins, disallow companies from dumping waste into water supplies, and legalize collective bargaining.

It can happen again.

How can any other political movement compete with these deep and well-reasoned insights?

But there seems to be anti-Trump rhetoric even in this thread, suggesting people think Trump should be replaced by someone more competent (i.e. anyone at all), instead of superglued to the oval office.

They already have it, and they can't do shit, and currently making deals to avoid a third government shutdown.

WHY ARE PEOPLE MAD AT THE US PRESIDENT PUSHING SPOOKS INTO PROMINENT POSITIONS????

MORE SHOCKING NEWS AT 11

Yes, Trump wouldn't do it because it'd cost money. That's why he did the MOAB in Afghanistan: it's cheaper than special forces and is a pretty show for the media. At the same time he can expand other government agencies (particularly ones aimed at domestic policing) at the expense of the CIA, Pentagon and friends. And ultimately the CIA and Pentagon want to take Russia and China on directly: this demands things much greater than a no-fly zone. They need more bombers, more nukes and more missiles. All of this takes resources away from smaller conflicts like Syria, especially when the attention is on Ukraine now.

It does because Hilary would have chosen a different, slightly more competent path. Trump is an accelerationist who doesn't really know what he's doing. That's why he fired his Secretary of State and replaced him with a yes man from the military. This isn't going to result in good policy, it's not going to result in any outcome other than fuckups. Hilary would have had her fuckups too, but they'd be slower and not as aggressively stupid. It does still get to the same point though, so I'll grant you that.

the horror…..

the horror…….

Their plant on the Supreme Court is about to push Right-To-Work laws nationally, a thing that won't be reversible for at least a generation. They also cut their masters' taxes, and are in the process of banning their competition. It's a massive success for the bourgeoisie, and of course they want more. Democrats are kind of spinning out where Republicans are hitting on all cylinders.

This is going to void the Iran Deal and make war with Iran that much more possible because

Our new fucking Secretary of State wants to go to war with Iran. Tillerson, as far as I'm aware, was not nearly as blood thirsty as this fucking CIA spook. Porky or not.

Literally just insult Trump for his bullshit and forget about the god damn election already, it's not difficult.

?

I was dead sure Iran would get the shaft because Mattis has a hard-on of hate against it, but it's been surprisingly outside of the radar. I'd bet money that Venezuela is out. With the gommies gone, Murka doesn't need to police its backyard directly anymore and can just leave it to the local comprador elites to deal with. Caveat being that, in case said elites do manage to kickstart a civil war, then of course Murka will send "military consultants" and drones.

Honestly, I can comprehend that stance. Sure, it's nice that Trump is shitting the hegemony up, but he's so damn awful that there's a very real chance he'll leave the entire damn world in ruins, literally so. I enjoy seeing him fuck up everything he touches like a reverse Midas, but I confess I would breathe several sighs of relief if he were to be replaced by someone with properly-working dopamine receptors. Then again, the CIA might just be on the case as we speak, and suddenly the whole situation feels positively Faustian.

What the fuck are you talking about. It's perfectly fine to have "anti trump rhetoric" when he pulls this shit.

Trump is a cuck but this doesn't invalidate the consequences of the 2016 election. As we'll see in 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024, 2026 etc the 2016 election will have proven a pivotal and critical moment where the neoliberal order failed to perpetuate itself. This might seem like a kitschy thing to say now, but it'll become more obvious as time goes on. International liberalism (in the markets sense, not the stupid political meaning sense) failed to justify to voters it's continued existence. Capitalism choked. Now, it's divided and every faction will fight itself as the ship sinks.

Trump is the gasoline onto this fire.

Not only that, but also consider that Trump might actually be put into a position where he might seriously consider using nuclear weapons on North Korea. He'd find himself in a diplomatically sensitive situation with diplomats that don't really have a clue. The result is a lot of people dying.

As an addendum to this, New Start expires in 2021. If the US fails to ratify it both America and Russia would no longer have a cap on the amount of nuclear warheads they could own. The US military would also be getting it's first deliveries of it's new nuclear-capable B-21 bomber at the same time. Suddenly, the slope down becomes a lot slippier.

Its important to keep in mind under who's administration those tortures were made and why she and her fellow bastards are still free.

Trump is a turd floating on a sea of garbage.

The whole American institution and culture is rotten to the core.

That's nice and I agree but we're talking about the consquences of Trump electing the CIA spook as Secretary of State and making the Director of the CIA literally a crone who tortured multiple people through waterboarding, electroshock, force feeding, etc.

The election has nothing to do with this besides, fools who said Trump was "anti war" were hilariously mistaken and missed the point of his gasoline fire.

I can't believe anyone thought the buffoon wouldn't end up like this.

fair enough

If destroying the world is what it takes to topple America, then all of the world must die.

He's right though. Either it must or musn't be. What's the alternative?

It does actually, since Tilerson did not want to escalate with Iran, and you know, this guy has directly said "We need to go to war with Iran"

So, it matters. I know we're used to "nunna this sheet matters mayn" but really, we're more likely to go to war with Iran now than we were before this morning, within the near future.

That and the CIA is run by a legitimate psychopath who condescended to her torture victims ON DISCLOSED RECORD

In fact, Trump already this morning:

People (paranoid conservatives and liberals) spit this dream at every election because eight years changes a whole hellova lot (loooooool). The party system isn't going away chumps. They know this because it's ancient history. Any attempt at creating one party will inevitably split into two vis a vis the jefferson republicans. The two parties trading off quid pro quo and seeming like they hate each other is all part of the game.

Seeya in 2040 when nothing has fucking changed but we'll be shitposting in VR pods so I guess it doesn't matter

This is looking increasingly less like a Cabinet shuffle and more like a Cabinet 52 pickup.

Confucius say: "Never lend money to man with gun pointed at you with hopes of repayment."

STEPHANOPOULOS: The most popular question on your own website is related to this. On change.gov it comes from Bob Fertik of New York City and he asks, "Will you appoint a special prosecutor ideally Patrick Fitzgerald to independently investigate the greatest crimes of the Bush administration, including torture and warrantless wiretapping."

OBAMA: We're still evaluating how we're going to approach the whole issue of interrogations, detentions, and so forth. And obviously we're going to be looking at past practices and I don't believe that anybody is above the law. On the other hand I also have a belief that we need to look forward as opposed to looking backwards. And part of my job is to make sure that for example at the CIA, you've got extraordinarily talented people who are working very hard to keep Americans safe. I don't want them to suddenly feel like they've got to spend all their time looking over their shoulders and lawyering (ph).

STEPHANOPOULOS: So, no 9/11 commission with Independence subpoena power?

OBAMA: We have not made final decisions, but my instinct is for us to focus on how do we make sure that moving forward we are doing the right thing. That doesn't mean that if somebody has blatantly broken the law, that they are above the law. But my orientation's going to be to move forward.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So, let me just press that one more time. You're not ruling out prosecution, but will you tell your Justice Department to investigate these cases and follow the evidence wherever it leads?

OBAMA: What I – I think my general view when it comes to my attorney general is he is the people's lawyer. Eric Holder's been nominated. His job is to uphold the Constitution and look after the interests of the American people, not to be swayed by my day-to-day politics. So, ultimately, he's going to be making some calls, but my general belief is that when it comes to national security, what we have to focus on is getting things right in the future, as opposed looking at what we got wrong in the past.

Fuck Obama for ever letting these people go, now they're in god damn high global political power

Can't tell whether or not he's gonna get it or not.

I would guess a minimum of 60 years. Those fraud charges carry a maximum 30 year sentience and Manafort has NINE of them.

Fucking hysteric, where were you the last 20 years?

There's not much point in arguing, every time a president with an (R) in front of his name gets elected liberals rediscover how fucking terrible America actually is. You can't convince them that the Democratic Party actually is as awful as the Republican one maybe even worse when it comes to imperialist wars/foreign policies

German police carry out nationwide raids on Turkish nationalist boxing club

German authorities seized data storage devices, narcotic drugs and weapons in nationwide raids on Tuesday against members of the Osmanen Germania boxing gang.

More than 1,000 police officers searched over 60 properties in the states of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Baden-Württemberg and Hesse.

The Interior Ministry orchestrated the raids, suspecting the Osmanen Germania — officially registered as a boxing club — of orchestrating illegal activities.

"Today's measures show that the federal and state governments will not tolerate criminal activity, regardless of social background," said outgoing Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere.
Among other things, the gang is accused of using violence to expand its power and territorial influence in certain cities as well as violent "self-assertion" against other groups.

"We're observing the scene very closely and will not allow ourselves to be blinded by these organizations," said NRW state Interior Minister Herbert Reul. The bulk of the raids took place in cities in the populous, western German state, including in Essen, Cologne, Duisburg and Wuppertal.

The goal of Tuesday's raids was to better understand the group's structure and activities.
Ties to Erdogan

Osmanen Germania has 22 local chapters across Germany and around 300 members, many with Turkish roots.

Since its founding in 2015, Osmanen Germania has become one of the fastest-growing gang-like groups in the country.

Eight alleged members of the group are currently on trial in Stuttgart for attempted murder, attempted manslaughter, extortion, forced prostitution and pimping.

According to the NRW Interior Ministry, Osmanen Germania also has strong ties to the government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling AKP party.

The group is known for its Turkish nationalist and right-wing extremist beliefs. It has clashed with Kurdish groups in the past and opposes left-wing extremist Turks and the Gulen movement — which Erdogan blames on a failed coup attempt in July 2016.

Turkish authorities regard Osmanen Germania as an organization that "combats terrorism," Reul said.

Also with the extremely coincidental circumstances surrounding the Russian Spy Poisoning, I wouldn't be too surprised if Hawking died of a little more than "natural causes" given that he was spearheading an effort to take Hunt to High Court over ACOs in the NHS

this is not what happened at all, the over a dozen US military bases in Syria thought the Russians would safeguard them in Afrin as they had done for the past few years but they were betrayed to appease the little sultan

Can someone explain why Erdogan seems to care so much about Afrin and Manbij compared to the over a dozen US military bases in Syria-held territories east of the Euphrates?

Turkey is in NATO and direct action by the great powers against it is extremely unlikely, so the even if Erdogan didn't like there being US bases in Syria they are not a direct threat to him, just another piece of the power games going on in the region

However there are a huge number of Kurds living in Turkey, Southern Turkey in particular, and Erdogan fears a Kurdish state getting off the ground and establishing itself as a recognized country, as it would then have a significant ability to bring pressure against Turkeys repressive treatment of its Kurdish population and also likely give rise to movements in those areas for them to break from Turkey and go over to the Kurdish nation
