It sort of reminds me of before WW2, how they wouldn’t get involved in outside wars etc, until they got attacked, the short sightedness of this will happen with Ukraine and possibly Taiwan. By then it will be too late, China will overtake them and they already have fingers in Africa etc.

China is now night and day ahead of the Yanks, compare Chinas infrastructure with America.

Does China have people living on the streets and tens of thousands of drug addicts like the USA and UK?

I suppose the only positives are the as it's not a close result we won't be subjected to weeks of legal wrangling, and accusations of vote rigging or russian interference. Also, the proud boys, maga etc will be celebrating rather than lynching, looting and burning. The willingness of the west to fight to the last Ukrainian will finally have to be concluded and the dying can hopefully stop in that hopeless cause.
I'd like to think the democrats can use their last few weeks to do something to restrain netanyahu, and this will hopefully give them time to reflect, rebuild and come back with an actual vision in 4 years.
Also, trumps age and Americas history of killing presidents are probably against him.

What's the point? If I was him I would just sit back and do nothing until my buddy's in office

It was for me. I liked Harris, she came across as genuine and intelligent. I can't say that for Trump.

Me too, I was giving her the benefit of doubt regarding the conflict in the Middle East and hoping she wasn't going to follow Bidens path. Now we have a lunatic in charge who will give Netanyahu a free pass and almost certainly stop the flow of weopens to Ukraine. The thing is though he told the American people this is what he will do and theve voted him in.

China is way behind all western nations when it comes to GDP per capita.

Not even the Ukrainians have that mindset. They pull back troops and the average age is of old men.Plus the hundreds of thousands of draft dodgers.

So you are a supporter of using cheap foreign labour to do our dirty jobs? Yep, lets exploit the desperate.
I've found people will do any job if it pays well or their working conditions are good. Paying a unlivable wage and treating people like shit tends to put people off.
Most foreign workers i've met say they either plan on getting a better job, or saving as much as possible and then go home with the money. Cheap foreign labour is only a short term fix. And it lowers people living standards.
We should be increasing base living standards, not reducing them. Big business loves cheap foreign labour. That should tell you something.

Selective immigration is a positive to a country. Uncontrolled immigration is not. Countries with selective immigration have much better and fairer work markets.

Home grown simply don't want to do those "medial" jobs sadly, that's the same the world over.

Further education has a lot to answer for, many western governments have told their population if you don't go your thick and not worthy.

Few now want to do manual work, want to work in offices creating nothing for big money.

How have millions and millions of people voted for this **** after everything he has done. Absolutely baffling.

Problem is a lot of people believe what they want to be true and bury their heads in the sands . Trump was always gonna win and that is what the Americans want.
 
Lots of glib bullshit being posted, but I can tell you that every woman I know is aghast at the Handmaid’s Tale future they face, and it’s no joke to them. Women will die because of this. Expect an almost national abortion ban within the next year, with penalties for doctors, nurses and women up to and including life imprisonment.

As someone who flies overseas for a living, mainly to Europe, I’m fucking embarrassed to be associated with the tens of millions of uneducated and confused white males who elected this empty fuck.
