How would you reply if you were in Trump's place?
>>535083397"I don't go to war with partners."
>>535083397DADDY XI HOW KIND OF YOU NOT TO DESTROY US THE RISING POWERYOU ARE NUMBER ONE FOREVER
>>535083397the fuck is thucydides trap
its both parties knowing that we would eff each other up in hot war. knowing that both sides profit more with trade, and knowing that there are far more stupid nations looking for an opportunity in.
>>535083397>It won't be those LEDs that make Beijing glow if you take one shot at Taiwan. Friends?
>>535083397What do you mean if I'm in Trump's place? If I was a fucking idiot, goddless blackmailed asshole like Trump I'd kill myself because I couldn't live with being a disgraced bribed, blackmailed pedo, wife cheating, lying, theiving disgrace of a human being. . Or do you mean I'm me meeting with Xi, who asks that?If I'm me, as president, I'll go full Hitler, kick the jews out, and leave China behind economically like a donkey cart in a drag race.
What a twat trump is lmao he's such an embarrassment. Awful man, incompetent diplomat and politician. Should be jailed for what he's done to americans and the world economy this year.
>>535083739>The thucydide of our thity
>>535083739just china pretending they're on the rise again
Implying Trump even knows what that is
>>535083739Sparta reacted violently to the rise of Athens.
>>535083739That's what Trump actually replied
>>535083764Blame Xi then for hawking up war over Taiwan for so long then. Stupid cunt lost so much power within the CCP these past couple years that now he has to talk like coward he truly is.
>>535084087Kek
>>535083739>>535083932>>535084079bros. that means the media just called China and America competing city states. Athens and Sparta were GREEK, Sparta loved buttsex
>>535084087Based
>>535084092i blame Jao Bideng and his VP for being extra aggressive with Taiwin
>>535083397>thucydides trap involved an upcoming power that is threatening to surpass thr current, you are a stagnant power that didnt escape the middle income trap before entering late stage demographic collapse and have nowhere even remotely close to our military capabilities so we wont have any problems you dont start
>>535083397Something-something-the Cold War is over and there is no need for the Pax Americana to intervene in the squabbles of regional powers to such extent like it used to with the Soviets.
>>535083932But Sparta won the Pineappleian War. Then an even bigger bunch of faggots The Sacred Band of Thebes beat Sparta, and then a gigafaggot Alexander beat off everyone.
>>535084087lmao I was thinking the same
there is no possible way to avoid itthats the genius of those greek faggots
>>535083739new kid on the block look like he gonna fuck shit up and you go fuck him up before he fucks your shit up. basically total chimpout based on "bro what if"
There are some similarities. Except the US in this situation has the strengths of Sparta, Athens, and Persia all at once. If the US is Sparta, China is like a partial mixture of Athens and Persia. No plague is going to save Sparta. But at the same time, Sparta already has the ships and the cavalry.
>>535084069those diddy’s?
>>535083826Holy shit you are seething tranny. Now if zognald legalizes goynip democrats wont win ever again.
>>535084494technically there is, if your leaders are corrupt enough, and trump seems to fit the bill, it's simply>I'll hand over hegemony to your country, if in return you guarantee that my family and friends are gonna be comfy in the world order where you're the hegemonamericans will of course get fucked hard by it, but if trump just cares about his family and friends more then it's a smart choice, considering that amerians will get fucked if a war happens anyways and then his family and friends might face a guillotine by the end, it's not like the american population has a winning move but they'd rather fight for hegemony instead of just handing it over, but trump might care more about guarantees for his family over america's hegemony, this would also require trump to think that america is declining and china is rising, if he thinks that america will reign eternal and china is nothing then there's no reason for him to take a deal like that
>>535083863seethe fag, i dont even know who your leader isprobably some nigger
>>535083739They didn’t teach you about the peloponnesian war?
>>535083739old declining power invades young rising power in a futile attempt to halt its riseXi told trump that the us is entering its century of humiliation at the hands of the chinese and not to resist and it went right over trump's head
>>535084494is the trap in preemptively starting a war with huge cost even if there was no real reason to start it? like both sides would be better off if they don't start the war?
I never knew there was a name for it or shit like that... But I've thought about it endlessly.Including Russia z as it is the third leg of that wheal of balance and motion which again I don't know the name of, that Celtic stuff.In my overlay head I've got it all figured out... but can't word it, it would take a book of words to turn it into a symbolic prism, and then gather the symbols into a book of their own.Fuck that.If it works out it does, if it doesn't I simply don't care anymore as muc as I used to. It never ends, we will do all this again sooner or later endless amount of fucking times. :)Fuck you all.Woth love and repulsion.Me.
>>535083739It's a new term for when a power rising comes into conflict with a power that is well established. It's fairly new and probably refers to Greeks being gay and their boners.
>>535083739Xi is basically saying China is about to become the new world power and asking Trump to not sperg out about it but accept it
>>535084272>Still thinks demographics is the determinant in a world of rapidly advancing AI, robotics and neuralink technology
>>535085010the trap is the older power thinking its still top dog and starting a war it can't win due to hubristhere was no "trap" when the us replaced the uk because the uk was smart enough to realize it was the declining power and accepted its fate
>>535083397Id remind him that sparta won
>>535083826I am beginning to think Bibi is dead.
>>535084999Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you were hoping to get into a "my dad is better than your dad" type argument, our leader is as incompetent as trump. Good day sir, I said good day
>>535083397Tussy what?
>>535085287Sparta was the ascendant authoritarian land power, athens was the democratic naval power with allies everywhere
>>535083397>>535083739Thucydeez nuts faggots!
>>535085175The USA is leading on all of those. The USA will always be bette than china for no other reason than the USA has the best geography and natural resources. Even napoleon knew what he had when he sold Louisiana, doing so to spite the British > I know the price of what I abandon, I renounce it with the greatest regret. The sale of Louisiana assures forever the power of the United States, and I have given England a rival who, sooner or later, will humble her pride. They asked of me a town and I give them an empire.
>>535085540Movement of domains and theatres into space makes terrestrial geography less relevant over timeThe US has a lead on space and AI, but history shows no country can gain a monopoly on any technology as long as someone else tries. The Spanish never gained a monopoly on sailing and the British never gained a monopoly on steam turbines.
Who the fuck is Choosydiddy? T. Dolan Trunp
>>535083397 economic condependence
>>535083397Trump has no clue what Xi talked about so wasted words.
>>535083397"Yes. Don't attack"
Enjoy your Pyrrhic victory if you don't make a deal..
>>535085672spacex has launched more things into space than the rest of the world combined, the usa went to the moon 50 years ago and no one else has sense. We are light years ahead in space and the moon only have a few areas where bases can ever be built due to frozen water deposits so its first come first serve there, mars too. Im really not worried. The USA just passed 100% debt:gdp but china is already over 300%, they cant afford ai or space, especially when their energy is already constrained
Paper Tiger the country. Everything CCP sets up is based on lies, trying to save face or an attempt at distraction. They are in a position where going to ware makes no sense but talking about it serves several purposes.
