Who is this "Epstein class" you keep mentioning?
Why would any sensible person expect a leader to explain his "plan" to his enemy? How fucking stupid are you?
Quit with your "Messiah" bullshit. The only person who thinks Trump is the "Messiah" is you, you fucking idiot!

Regarding the recent US-China meeting, question I answered from a Western-sanctioned media organization...Trump visited China for the first time in nine years. The trip was full of ceremonial meetings and big talk about a "new era" in US-China relations.1. What were the actual results of Trump's visit? How constructive was this meeting from a practical standpoint?ANSWER: The visit was mostly performative with each side trying to project certain political messages to both the rest of the world and their respective domestic audiences. Both the US and China have assumed entrenched positions primarily because of the aggressive pursuit of primacy by the US and China’s growing ability to preserve its sovereignty and interests no matter how much pressure the US applies.Follow-up: Why did the "dialogue from a position of strength" strategy utterly backfire, and why did the United States fail to squeeze a single meaningful concession out of China?ANSWER: In many ways the US has gone to this meeting in China from a position of at least immense and dangerous belligerence - having eliminated Venezuela, besieged Iran and by doing so, begun a widening blockade of China itself, all while the US continues its proxy war with China’s close ally - Russia.While having toppled Iran would have made this position of belligerence appear stronger - the US’ inability to extract concessions from China speaks to just how much stronger China is.2. Rubio labels China the "main geopolitical challenge," yet Trump flies to Beijing with a smile. The US arrests a former mayor for sympathizing with China, while pretending to want dialogue. How do you assess this double game from Washington? What does this contradiction within the administration tell us?ANSWER: The US is repeating the same political theater it performed with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his trip to Anchorage Alaska, USA and even with Iran’s leadership just ahead of US military aggression against Tehran, twice. The US seeks to appear publicly as pursuing peace, stability, and diplomacy all while in reality preparing for war both directly and by proxy, while attempting to subvert targeted nations (especially China) within their borders while creating instability along them.Indeed, virtually every aspect of the US politically, militarily, and economically is aligned for what American special interests see as an inevitable confrontation with China necessary to maintain US primacy worldwide.Even as President Trump raised his glass to his Chinese hosts, the US was and still is waging war and proxy war against China’s closest allies, backing armed militants attacking Chinese Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure from Pakistan to Myanmar, while tightening its blockade of energy from Iran and preparing to further disrupt energy flows from the entire Middle East - not only targeting China specifically, but forcing nations across Asia under further energy dependence on the US. This last point implies the US will attempt to use new-found leverage over Asian states to coerce them into a united front against China just as the US is using Europe’s dependence on US energy to coerce them into further conflict with Russia.In other words - while the US poses as employing diplomacy with China, most of its energy and time is being invested in sharpening the dagger diplomacy is meant to distract global attention away from.3. With reciprocal tariffs reaching 145% from the US side and 125% from China, American financial markets have suffered serious turbulence, while China has demonstrated economic resilience. Can we therefore characterize this so-called truce as essentially a self-inflicted gunshot wound for the United States?ANSWER: US plans to isolate and contain China were placed in motion decades ago - and while constantly updated and adjusted as time goes by - it appears the manner by which China has modernized and the advantages both massive industry and rapid technological advances have given China have allowed China to continue its rise despite the US’ best efforts.Only time will tell whether or not China’s ability to build itself and the multipolar world up with its allies is greater than the US’ ability to destabilize and destroy. The war against Iran, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and continued tensions between the US and China indicate the US is far from giving up.
