Meanwhile the actual real Credit Score in the west ensures that most young people will never be home owners,

For all ages only 65% of usians own their home, this number is above 90% in the PRC

However, why would Trump threaten to invade Canada and Greenland if the EU, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand has no autonomy of its own? They certainly wouldn’t be turning to China in response to all the tariffs and invasion threats if that was the case.

Personal benefit. Greenland, Denmark and other vassals are not sovereign they are suzerainties. They are allowed limited domestic autonomy( in the case of Greenland specifically the US even got away with dropping a nuke on them with no repercussions)

Despite this Trump could still benefit personally, financially and otherwise from a more direct form of control and knowing his ego I wouldn’t be surprised if he just wants to paint Greenland in US colours on the world map so that part of his ‘legacy’ is increasing the size of the US.

This can be applied to other vassal nations, which cannot be said to be truly ‘turning to China’ until they take concrete steps to move outside of the US’s sphere of influence such as de-dollarizing their economies and switching to RMB as their reserve currency, kicking out US troops from their borders and leaving any military coalitions led by the US occupying foreign nations they are in. Its extremely reductive to separate ‘militaristic’ issues from wider political ones, especially in this context. Ultimately Trump is a figurehead for the ruling class who’s individual control over the empire has limits, his motivations and that of the empire as a whole while usually aligning are not always one and the same

Western countries are vassals of the US

The US: drops 46 bombs a day! China: hasn’t been in a war for 46 years!

Westerners: these two states are equally bad for humanity(or one is significantly more evil, can you guess which one they think that is?)

And when you rebut their arguments using entirely western sources from their approved list of outlets, they call you a tankie and run away

What Did These Cuban Children Do to Trump?

A socialist government kept them out his and the rest of the pedo-oligarchie’s greasy paws, that’s unforgivable

In the USaisan mind Cuba must be subjected to the same ‘shock therapy’ as Russia was in the 90’s that caused the massive explosion in exploitation and human trafficking there, including many Epstein victims such as the 12 year old girl he allegedly trafficked to Trump

Yeah but that was one of those good genocides like the kind Dems fund and arm

I guess its cause when people ask for distro recommendations they’re usually new to Linux, thus a more user-friendly distro that’s built on-top of Debian like a flavour of Ubuntu or Mint is a better fit than straight Debian

‘ill kidnap a thousand children before I let this company die’

Pretty sure Epstein kidnapped more than a thousand over time and he wasn’t even trying to keep the lights on for a city and factory full of workers
