JESSE WATTERS (HOST): Dumb power is fighting unwinnable wars, defunding the police, opening the border. Feeble is falling down and falling asleep. And being friendly to the world is what got us in this mess. We're not in high school. We don't need friends.

We're allies now because we weren't expansionist aggressive fuckwads back then. We certainly had issues, but if we were behaving this way back then? Fuck, We'd have lost the Cold War.
Dumb power is backstabbing allies and alienating everyone. Feeble is bitching and moaning about how sovereign countries should just surrender to us to be annexed. Being friendly is how you work on a world stage, you want to at least HIDE ulterior motives if you're doing stuff like China is.
It is so sad we've got these idiots repeating the incoherent ramblings of a fuckwit like Trump...
USA was at war with Japan, and now it’s NOT at war with Denmark.
I wouldn’t even point that out but I can’t believe anyone would overlook something that obvious.
We have always been at war with Eastasia. Here on Airstrip One, (Un)Reform(ed) is at war with itself.
In Soviet Oceania history handcuffs you.
Wattatwat, thoughtcrime. Room 101, where you’ll meet your worst fucking nightmare:
Reality.

Well, he has 4 friends, but the friends are equally insane as he is. It’s called “Faux And Friends”, not “Faux And Enemies”.
This reminds me of that memorable interview of Musk at the 2023 DealBook Summit in New York, where Musk addressed the advertisers on X who had suspended their ads because of his antisemitic remarks:
"If somebody's going to try to blackmail me with advertising? Blackmail me with money? Go f---yourself. Go. F---. Yourself. Is that clear?"

The result? X lost half its advertising revenue, which made up the bulk of its earnings.
If the U.S. succeeds in alienating our allies, it will have an equally serious effect on our economy. And if we try a military option against Denmark, we will be the epitome of a dumb power fighting an unwinnable war.

And even those will have to deal with a capricious failing US regime that is seeing them less as an ally and more as a protection racket victim to enrich themselves. I am already fearing for Taiwan if Trump sets his eyes on it and gets the idea to pressure others by trying to force it to only produce chips for the US anymore if they want to stay under military protection (or some other forced concession). Sounds far fetched, but I won't put it past him and his goons at all.
NUCLEAR WEAPONS EXIST NOW YOU STUPID FUCKING SHIT!!!!!!!
If nations are afraid that another country will invade them and steal their land, they’re going to try to get nukes to scare it off.
The more countries get nukes, and the more afraid they are of coming under attack, the greater the risk that someone panics and presses the button. And if that happens once, that’s it for the human race.
The survival of our civilization, maybe our species, depends on everyone not going around invading each other anymore. It’s not in the US’s interests, or Russia’s, or China’s or anybody’s to gain land by force that is worth the risk of the world being destroyed!
I don’t think that The Star-Spangled Banner being booed in Canada and European countries preparing to rearm is a good outcome of an attempt to “make America great”, apart if you want to make Russia and China great.

And even then, Xi would look more and more like a rational actor, compared to Trump and Putin.
In which case, the only powers who would want to absolutly ally with the US agaibst China would be the ones whose existence depend of not being alone with China, leaving only Taiwan.

Indeed, this is why most countries support Ukraine.
Because, after Iraq and Libya, if Ukraine ends crushed then nuclear non-proliferation is dead, especially when governments around the world notice that North Korea, Israel, India and Pakistan aren’t invaded.
Confused?
