There's a slight bit of media bias already creeping into this when they say that this program would require Congressional approval (which presumably would NOT be given), but by my count anywhere from a quarter to about half of these points could be achieved by Executive fiat

Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.
Xi receives daily reports regarding his favorability among pathetic manchildren who spend their workday licking their bosses boot and their free time eating cheetos, playing video game, and obsessing over Japanese culture. Every time he hears the term "pooh", he winces in pain. He lashes out in anger and directs his propaganda ministry to wipe the internet clear of winnie references.

He receives these daily reports inbetween reports regarding the 1.4 billion people he leads. All of their successes, challenges, and failures. The leader of the biggest, most curious, and most optimistic project of human history always sets aside time to understand what reddit is saying about him.

Reddit is the distillation of the most pathetic attributes of western liberalism. The greatest social experiment of loving losers.

China is the greatest human experiment of a people who beat all odds, humiliation, destruction, and turned into nation of dignity, success, and optimism

The community that contains reddit has never achieved anything. Yet they think they are more clever, braver, smarter, bigger than the Chinese because they confront CCP with childish memes that aren't too far removed from the pornography they degrade themselves to.

Whenever I meet someone in real life enthusiastically parroting reddit discourse I can not help but feel so painfully sorry for this pathetic loser. They are nothing. Completely incapable of thinking an original thought. They let a community of losers think for him. sad

EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC
Turkey declares Canadian ambassador and nine others from West ‘persona non grata’


quote:

In a joint statement on Oct. 18, the ambassadors of Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, New Zealand and the United States called for a just and speedy resolution to Kavala’s case. They were summoned by the foreign ministry, which called the statement irresponsible.

“I gave the necessary order to our foreign minister and said what must be done: these 10 ambassadors must be declared persona non grata at once. You will sort it out immediately,” Erdogan said in a speech to a crowd in northwest Turkey’s Eskisehir.

The use of the term persona non grata here isn't a rhetorical flourish, but the invoking of Article Nine of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

Under which the host nation at any time and for any reason can declare a particular member of the diplomatic staff to be persona non grata. The sending state must recall this person within a reasonable period of time, or otherwise this person may lose their diplomatic immunity.

i live in japan so i can tell you in no uncertain terms that if a draft was instituted or even action against china in solidarity with the US considered the popular opposition would be sufficient to stop it.

i can't emphasize this enough.

eta: i've lived here for a long time so i don't think i'm talking out of my rear end but am welcome to correction. i obviously don't speak for the people of japan this is just my impression.

A theorical future Sino-Japan war would be Aegis cruisers from 2 sides shooting at each other follow by long period of economic sanctions of each other.

A draft is the lease likely scenario.
