Usual bullshit word salad there, where he doesn't offer anything and continues to babble about his tariffs. And does he really believe that the countries exporting good to the US pay the tariffs? It's the American people who pay that. Either he's an idiot, or he's just bullshitting his audience* because, let's face it, they're not too bright either.
*spoiler: it's both

I expect no less from someone who believes migrants are being shipped from other countries to the US like trash being sent to the dump.

Fuck I love how everyone’s getting so sassy. We’ve allowed this far-right BS fester for far too long and it’s been more than enough time to start clapping back at it. STFU already!

My predictions / (or early Christmas wish list for Santa) for the near future… RUSSIA…
…I usually steer away from Politics and getting involved in talks on wars etc because when I had my major stroke and nearly died my Doctors told me not to get involved in strenuous arguments or debates etc because I used to be a ‘team leader / Union delegate / Safety Officer that was in charge of 4 warehouses with many people working under me that were responsible for transporting Pharmaceuticals in and out the warehouses to all around the World… wearing the three hats I was always in argument’s with management etc… hence the resulting major stroke… my Doctors told me that all that stress caused my stroke… that’s why I steer away from major arguments…
…that being said… I’m not here to start arguments… just to post my thoughts… think of these series of 4 posts as random thoughts of a silly old fart that thinks he’s some sort of backyard Nostradamus (more like a Nostradumbass)… anyway… here they are… I’ll start with my thoughts on Russia…
RUSSIA:…
1)… Russia will collapse within a year Militarily and economy wise… it will be completely broke… a coup will result from the uprisings beginning from the Babooshka’s (grandmothers) and old people in general…
2)… Putin will be conveniently dead from ‘health issues’… he will never face the Hague for his ‘war crimes’… (he will be blamed for absolutely everything… with a ‘dead man can’t defend himself’ attitude from all around him)… his inner circle and cronies will claim that they were only ‘following orders’ from fear of death from Putin… Putin’s legacy will be that he totally destroyed the ‘Russian Empire’ and brought it to its knees because of a power whim…
3)… within the next 2 years Russia will have a food famine and millions will die… ironically the Ukraine will be one of the main countries supplying food and grain relief to them in order for the Russians to survive… (the Russian people themselves are quite wonderful people… I used to work with many of them… only Putin and their Military are bastards… the ordinary people don’t need to suffer more then they have to)…
4)… the new Russian leader will instantly pull all Russian troops out from the Ukraine back to its 2014 borders in order to get back into the Wests favour in order to have all embargo bans immediately lifted… saying that Putin was totally to blame… and for that… we apologise… (hoping to be forgiven for all that has occurred)… their army will never be what it was again… it will never recover… (if they even tried it would take them at least 50 years to replenish it)…
5)… Russia will fracture into many individual states/provinces/countries etc after choosing to leave the envelope of Russian control… they will be taken over by individual war lords / Oligarchs / Mafia style gang leaders / wannabe mini dictators etc… there will be civil wars while all of these types jostle for power… and many many deaths…
6)… all of Russia’s overseas frozen assets will be used for the rebuilding of the Ukraine’s infrastructure… with perhaps even more compensation from within Russia itself…
7)… at least some of Putin’s inner circle in the Kremlin / Military leaders and a few Oligarchs will be tried for war crimes and found guilty by the Hague…
8)… depending on which faction wins the power struggle… Moscow will no longer be the Capital city… the new regime will try and distance the country from it’s recent events…
9)… Russia over the next 10 years will try and entice Western countries companies to reinvest into Russia and will be fully dependant on the West to survive… hence ensuring no future expansions or conquering of other nearby countries for a long time…
10)… China will invade Russia while they’re down and out and reclaim lost lands of China from the past… (China is claiming parts of Russian land on its new maps already)… and Russia will be totally unable to do anything about it… (aw… poor widdle Russia being bullied by another country… how unfair!)… China are in urgent need of many resources… they are in Manchuria and Siberia (which were stolen by Russia)… it would be way easier to get them back rather than invade Taiwan… (who would kick China’s arse)…
…well… that’s it… I’ve probably forgotten to add a few things and will probably think of a few things later… I’ll probably just post them later if anyone is interested lol!… (Sticky you silly old git)… lol!… cheers.

My predictions / (or early Christmas wish list for Santa) for the near future… CHINA…
1)… China will invade Russia when it has lost the war to get old traditional Chinese lands back… (Manchuria and Siberia)… they’re rich in resources that China needs… China is already reclaiming parts of Russia on new territorial maps in China as I speak…
2)… China’s economy will completely crash pretty soon (hence another reason to reclaim Manchuria and Siberia from Russia)…
3)… the Chinese youth will have mass protests and may instigate a ‘change’ in Government… there is already a movement amongst the youth called ‘lay down’ which is them choosing not to work anymore or join the Military… it’s numbers are growing rapidly… it’s only a matter of time…
4)… China’s retiring population is far more than the number of people that are willing to work making their work force unsustainable… China’s ‘one baby’ policy decades ago has a devastating effect today… they are victims of their own policy all those decades ago…
5)… China’s Military force is a paper Tiger just like Russia’s was… they will never invade Taiwan… it has incredible defences… they’re inpenetrable… if China even attempted to mount a landing force they would be blown out of the water before they even landed… if they did manage to land a force they would have to face wave upon wave upon wave of barriers… Taiwan is one of the most fortified islands in the World… besides… the USA would be supporting them… so China has no chance… (best invade Russia methinks… that’s why they are not sending their soldiers to the Ukraine to help Putin… they’re probably saving them to invade Russia lol!)…
6)… a lot of China’s economy depends on the USA and Western nation’s input… like Russia… they cannot afford embargoes upon their country… they would’ve learned by what has happened to Russia… they cannot afford to go to war… that’s another reason why they won’t start a war with Taiwan…
7)… China are not accepting the Russian Rouble as currency… its banks are refusing to trade with Russia… refusing loans to Russia… they see Russia as a ‘too high’ risk option… they’re distancing themselves from Russia… they must be aware that China is about to invade Russia… (have fun China and good luck!…lol!)…
8)… as said earlier China’s Military is a paper Tiger… as of at least early 2024 China has not fought a war since 1979 when they invaded Vietnam and has only fought relatively minor conflicts since… few of their Generals have ever seen any actual combat… they have limited tactical and combat experience… would they even know how to invade somewhere like Taiwan?… their ships and aircraft look threatening and quite nice but so did Russia’s…
9)… China are all bluff and bluster… they were genuinely scared when Putin threatened the West and the Ukraine with tactical Nuclear weapons because they were crossing Putins infamous ‘red lines’… they went to great lengths to ‘talk Putin down’ with his empty threats of Nuclear warfare… that means that they would never use Nuclear weapons either…
10)… China could not afford to conduct an all out war… they are not financially equipped to do so… they cannot afford to be heavily embargoed by the West like Russia were… their economy would collapse even further… they rely too much on Western trade to prop them up as it is… hence the reason that they are all bluff and bluster…
…well that’s China done… North Korea is the next one… cheers.
1)… China will invade Russia when it has lost the war to get old traditional Chinese lands back… (Manchuria and Siberia)… they’re rich in resources that China needs… China is already reclaiming parts of Russia on new territorial maps in China as I speak…

…well that’s China done… North Korea is the next one… cheers.
My predictions / (or early Christmas wish list for Santa) for the near future… NORTH KOREA…
1)… North Korea is a spoilt little brat kid chucking a tanty until it gets noticed by the whole World… as with China it is a paper Tiger rattling its Military armoury to ‘scare’ the rest of the World so as to not be invaded by other countries… they’re always threatening South Korea and have an army twice the size of South Korea but would be thrashed if they went to war with each other because they’re weapons are mainly old and outdated… their ‘army’ has not seen action since the late 1950’s… as with China… its Generals have never seen war…
2)… the country is so poor that some of their population are dying from starvation due to their governments neglect and and it’s only a matter of time before an uprising… a starving population is usually the downfall of many dictatorships… North Korea will be no exception… it will probably be when Kim Jong-un dies and the country is in total disarray…
3)… when Kim Jong-un finally dies (from ill health more likely) his entire family (including his daughter Kim Ju-ae and wife Ri Sol-ju and an apparent son somewhere) will probably be killed off to end his dynasty’s control… during this time of the Jong-un dynasty eradication would be the best time for the population to revolt amid the chaotic shuffling for a new leader…
4)… 3,000 North Korean soldiers have been sent to the Russian meat grinder in the Ukraine… with an average of 1200 of Russia’s soldiers dying a day in meat waves… it means that every North Korean soldier will be dead in 2-3 days… that will not go down too well in North Korea will it?… especially being that the North Korean soldiers have never seen actual combat since the 1950’s… they may as well be raw inexperienced Russian conscripts…
5)… when Kim Jong-un sees how pathetic his soldiers perform (before they’re killed or have voluntarily surrendered within 2-3 days) he will rethink on taking on South Korea and stop his childish sabre rattling and crawl under his rock again… already 18 of the North Korean soldiers have been captured by the Ukrainians because they voluntarily surrendered within their first 72 hours of ‘combat’ lol!… they wanted to escape from North Korea at all costs apparently… the Ukrainians must be pissing themselves laughing just like the rest of the World…
6)… South Korea would easily win a war against North Korea simply because they have much better updated weaponry… North Korea have the greater number of soldiers at a rate of about 2-1 but South Korea would easily annihilate them with weaponry alone… Kim Jong-un is too gutless to take on anyone let alone South Korea… he is a coward…
7)… North Korea have just blown up all the bridges and railway tracks and roads that linked North and South Korea so I assume that they don’t intend to attack South Korea anytime soon (or are they scared that South Korea intends to attack them?)…lol!…
8)… overall… Kim Jong-un will always be too gutless to actually go into a full scale war with South Korea or anyone at all… his army would be decimated and he knows it… all he ever does is ‘put on shows’ like blowing up bridges / roads and train tracks to look ‘tough’… he’s truly pathetic…
…well… that’s my take on North Korea for what its worth… Belarus / Israel / Iran and the USA are in the next post… cheers.

…well… that’s my take on North Korea for what its worth… Belarus / Israel / Iran and the USA are in the next post… cheers.
My predictions / (or early Christmas wish list for Santa) for the near future… Belarus…
1)… Belarus is a mere puppet state of Russia with Alexander Lukanshenko as its dictator… his tongue is so far up Putins arse that you can often see his tongue poking out of Putins mouth… it is estimated that he has about 60,000 active troops… he will never commit any of his troops to the Ukraine as he is too busy using them to protect himself from being assassinated by his own people…
2)…they have a piss poor army to speak of… no modern weapons of note… they are like a clawless Tiger let alone being a paper Tiger… if the Ukraine had a battle with them they would run away crying like a little kid crying their eyes out… they are pathetic… they’re definitely no threat to anyone at all… enough said about this pathetic country and it’s gutless sad sack of shit leader Alexander Lukanshenko…
ISRAEL AND IRAN (and all terrorist organisations associated with this conflict)…
1)… I have not been following this war or any of the other conflicts at all… so therefore I can’t really comment about them…. but knowing Israel the way I do from past conflicts that they have been in and seeing the results… I have no doubt that Israel will achieve every objective that they are intending to achieve…
THE UNITED STATES…
1)… Kamala Harris will absolutely flog Donald Trump-his-pants in a massive landslide victory… Donald Trump-his-pants will launch many legal procedures to delay the handover of power claiming that he was robbed as per usual and Donald Trump-his-pants will encourage his Maggots to riot again but this time the army will be there to deal with the neo Nazi MAGArites and Donald Trump-his-pants will go to jail for all his past accumulation of crimes… he will end up in Palliative care just sitting in a bed shitting himself all day and staring at a blank wall in front of him saying over and over… “I waz robbed!… I coulda been a contender!”… hopefully we never hear his voice and will never see him again… no doubt Marjorie Taylor Greene and all the MAGA supporters will join the American Nazi Party and will live happily ever after.. lol!…
…well… that’s it… they’re my inane Nostrdumbass predictions and Christmas wish lists lol!… take them with some humour if you can… I didn’t write them to piss people off… just to put my thoughts out there… anyway… I do not expect everyone to agree with me in some of them but they are my thoughts on these situations regardless… it’s been fun writing them… cheers.

…um… just a correction in my ‘United States’ statement… I need to restate part of it… where I said “and Donald Trump-his-pants will encourage his Maggots to riot again but this time the army will be there to deal with the neo Nazi MAGArites”… I meant to write (and didn’t pick it up in the original final draught before I published it)… I meant to write… “and Donald Trump-his-pants will encourage his Maggots to riot again but this time the Police in large proportions will be there to deal with the neo Nazi MAGArites”… after all… it isn’t Russia we’re talking about is it?… lol!… cheers.
…the German-Soviet Pact was signed in August 1939… It paved the way for Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union to invade and occupy Poland that September... the pact was an agreement of convenience between two bitter enemies… several years later the Soviet Union invaded Nazi Germany to help win WW 2…
…hmmmmmrmm!… as of today China have officially not supported Russia in the Russia/Ukraine war… (but behind the scenes they’ve been aiding them all the way)… today they signed a pact… Russia… CHINA IS GOING TO INVADE YOU SOON TO GET THIER HISTORICAL LANDS BACK YOU FUCKWITS!… HISTORY DOES REPEAT ITSELF!…
…with China signing that pact… their economy will crash even faster than Russia’s is now when the West and especially the United States employs massive embargoes upon them… I don’t know anymore who the bigger fool is… Russia or China… cheers.
