The Saudi prince’s state visit was a clear example of propaganda

The adverts for Mohammed bin Salman that smeared the papers last week show how the corporate media serves as a mouthpiece for the powerful, writes Ben Cowles

US is going to roll out a trade war against China this week or next. Targeting over a $100 billion in imports as well as IP concerns, allowing Chinese companies to operate in the US, and preventing Chinese students and workers from coming to the US. Some of this is still in the rumor/leak stage though.
That said, the US will end up getting buttfucked by the WTO or even better, leave the WTO

23 Russian diplomats expelled from the UK
Corbyn denounced by British media/gov't for questioning the poisoning

Oh, I realized why the news wants me to be afraid of china and russia-
Its 80s nostalgia, just like all those TV shows and movies, for the cold war.

The only thing, as a westerner, that worries me about Russia is their oligarichal expansionism eventually leading to some major collision between them and NATO. I don't want another European war, let alone one that could quickly go nuclear

neo-Holla Forums will defend this

we need to embrace massive devastation, its been coming a while anyway

200% sad. Wheelchair science man was pretty based tbh, only given 2 years to live, made it to 76.

Russia can't even recede fast enough for NATO's own expansionism to start a major collision instead.

Don't be a pussy.

Current numbers are
They're currently waiting on provisional ballots and any military or overseas ballots.

However, this is a big coup for the Democrats. Pennsylvania's 12th district was solid red district which Trump won by 20 percentage points. Conor Lamb destroyed that by winning 172 precincts won by Trump in 16. The Trump gang's visit didn't help and the GOP ended up wasting 10 million dollars.

The big takeaways from this election are that the Tax Cut isn't working, Trump isn't working, and the GOP are vulnerable. If a "safe" race like this can get tight, everything is in play. You can expect more retirements from the House Republicans.

He is an honorary comrade. Rest in Power Stevie

Gee, it's almost as if Venezuela's elections are legit and the opposition doesn't want admit this.

Some leaks today that Trump is going to fire both Sessions and McCabe

No, it's Sessions considering firing McCabe.

They’re both expansionist.

The opposition really can't keep their story straight, can they?

Eh. But it is funny to see all those teenagers go nuts over that old man.

He's the beloved grandpa to an entire generation, a fact that makes boomer liberals fume with impotent rage.

Fuck honorary. He talked about socialism quite a lot.

This is supposed to be a hit piece, but it makes me like him more.

Damn, I never even knew that was supposed to be a hit piece

I know he's (probably) not a Marxist anymore, but I still like the guy.
