I hate it it but i feel a little sorry when laughably evil people fuck up their evil schemes this badly. and it happens a lot.

Fuck up their schemes? Putin's scheme to wreck US hegemony is going insanely well and would've been going even better if he hadn't greedily, groundlessly invaded Ukraine. Trump's plan to abuse the presidency for personal gain seems to be doing well too.

Why do US billionaires accept the end of the hegemony? Trump can't act against their plans or he would be impeached.

Like a tick that has grown fat off of its host body, they believe they don't need countries anymore.

A nice thought but they won't be that stupid.

It's enough that 10 billionaires understand the development to convince the rest.

They think about power all day long. They will notice if they lose it.

they surely will. That doesn't mean they're sharp enough to properly strategize. IMO when you have lots of money, you don't really have to think as much, because it's kust that more easier to breed money when you already have so much. So when the crisis finally comes, you won't be able to properly analyze the situation.

Case in point — corpos like Microsoft and Ubisoft.

Last I checked hes still robbing the Treasury blind and pardoning his friends, which is all he ever cared about

Makes more sense when you consider him a Russian asset; weakening NATO and the US position as a super power.

If he were a Russian asset, he could end the war by lifting Russia's sanctions or refusing to impose or enforce "new" sanctions (new rules that close loopholes in the existing sanctions).

Trump isn't a Russian asset, he's just a shit president.

Could be a lot of things. He's still oddly subservient to Putin, and mostly serving Putin's aims. Could be that Trump's position and power doesn't extend fast enough to end Ukraine. (Maybe because the Republican Senate won't allow it?)

Unfortunately he's only the symptom, not the disease.

People keep saying this, but we go to pretty extreme lengths to remove severe symptoms.

....Why would you want to poison yourself when the good news comes in??? Personally, the news would make me want to live longer on this planet if he were to die. Hopefully in a federal prison and of natural causes.

True, true. Maybe I'll organize a Discord party and play load of GMod or GTA Online with my friends, my Spotify playlist is locked and loaded too, the drunkenness will be merely a part of the bigger celebration (though tbh I don't really drink alcohol anyway, 1 Vodka Cruiser at most)

There are two possible readings of your message.

The first one is that he literally commits suicide.

The second one is that the general public is told that he committed suicide, but everyone knows that it's not true

Isn't that the Hillary Clinton wax statue that had to be turned into a pumpkin on short notice?

the stock market doesn't care about this at all. the s&p is reaching for all time highs again.

Really optimistic of you to claim "permanently wreck us hegemony" would be based if he did but don't believe it yet.

Oh yeah that's totally what I was advocating. And truthfully given chinas hand off in others internal politics it probably wouldn't be worse still very bad of course

I mean, currently at least they're dealing with global warming, and haven't invaded anyone since the 70s.

So data seems to say exactly that.
