Trump has been pretty open about effectively starting another trade war with china via tariffs and oddly enough Taiwan too.
I think he will stop the support for Ukraine but frankly since zelinsky started talking nuclear I think everyone is getting cold feet. Not sure about Ukraines status post conflict. Although I don't want Putin getting it all his way I also don't want to return to a cold war with NATO and Russia staring at each other across the dnipro. I don't think trump will pull out of or disband NATO, but he will insist on member nations paying their way and not getting defence on the cheap by relying on the US European presence. Agree that trump will be isolationist and America first etc, but us corporate interests and reality will make that difficult. BRICS is certainly a challenge and will continue to strengthen while those nations are in economic growth while the west stagnates. Ultimately currency is an act of faith, and there is still some way to go globally before the dollar is replaced - not within a trump govt and probably not within his lifetime.

If Brics is in economic growth, how come China is bankrupt?

Trump is solid (not in a good way) but I like Kennedy, he seems honest and cares about the US, probably not president material but neither is Harris, or Biden, or the last Bush.

He’ll withdraw support for Ukraine, and negotiate a peace deal where everything bar Crimea is handed back, under the conditions of NATO being disbanded and Ukraine joining the EU, probably with some sort of Russian peace keepers in the Donbas

I assumed you were just trolling until I read this, but no, you're actually completely nuts.

"Russian peace keepers in the Donbas"

Lol.

I suppose it's on a par with 'operation Iraqi freedom' which also involved liberating people by dropping things on them out the sky

Do you just post random thoughts that come into your head without thinking for 5 or 6 seconds how stupid they are?
Is there such a thing as written Tourette’s?
If so, that would explain a lot.

Although he won’t care, I used to quite like his posts as they brought a different discussion, but it looks like people have upset them so much that they’ve gone down a road that they don’t even know.

Sorry, are you starting a conversation or joining in, or just confused and replying to the wrong post?

TBH I think he says some interesting, thoughtful things and also some incredibly stupid things so that dichotomy is odd, and I wish he had a spine, but unlike others I don’t find him angering or a cultish mouth-breather — which on this thread given some of its denizens makes him tolerable. He’s like the Bill Murray character in Groundhog Day before he gets caught in the time loop.

I don’t find him (?) either way, just think he’s been pushed to a point that he’s took it personally.

Then again, he could be full MAGA , and loves Putin, but I don’t think so.

I do love Putin and am clearly maga but still like to remain objective. I'm planing a party to celebrate both the victory of Kamala and zelinsky actually.
