Trump Dictatorship and All Things Politics

[Red]

Can you imagine someone thinking we are still locked into a Cold War, holding back Communism from conquering America? How can “still living in the McCarthy era” possibly be enlightening in this moment of our nation’s history? Such a stance, that Trump is preventing communism from overwhelming the 250 year old American experiment is ridiculous. It actually has nothing whatsoever to do with our present moment. Such a belief has nothing whatsoever to do with 2025 America, and suggesting it has everything to do with where we are in 2025 is one of the dumbest interpretations of 2025 America imaginable. Such is the depth of thought expressed by Trump apologists…

In other respects, this is a new McCarthy era. But far more dangerous. The entire Democratic Party is now “the enemy within”. It’s not the Red Menace. Not fellow Americans turning communist. It’s fellow Americans that do not agree with Donald Trump. If you do not agree with Trump, you are “the enemy within”. Trump’s isn’t tightening the gates preventing communism from swamping America. He’s making over half the population of the country into the enemies of the United States. For the crime of not agreeing that he is always 100% correct, and should have absolute power.

Damn I’ve always been planning to apply for an US university but the political environment looks really chaotic now. Trump suspending all the visas of foreign students is just crazy. He also tried to deport international students already enrolled in unis. I’m seeing all kinds of reports from Chinese media these days. I know some are exaggerated, but I dare not take such a great risk. Guess I have to attend university elsewhere and wait until this thing ends

Damn! You 100% called it!

You’re giving fish credit for something he obviously copied and pasted from somewhere and didn’t site. Old habits die hard I guess. Fake intellect and regurgitation of others opinions with no reflection or insight. How impressive!

Maybe look into UK unis? I don't know if Canada has universities (just kidding Canada) but maybe they have some good ones, as well?

There is a brain drain happening since the U.S. administration is loud and proud in their anti-science, anti-intellectual, anti-collaboration, anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-LGBTQ, anti-minority stance.

Haters gonna hate and MAGA is at its very core a hate group.

Pete Hegseth calls on Asia to boost military spending in face of ‘imminent’ threat from China

Speaking at the Shangri-la Dialogue in Singapore, the US defence secretary outlined a rang of new joint projects in the region

www.theguardian.com

‘We’ll determine our defence policy’: Albanese responds to US push for huge rise in spending as Hegseth stokes China fears

Prime minister also reaffirms policy on Taiwan while hitting back at Donald Trump’s doubling of tariffs on steel and aluminium imports

www.theguardian.com

Speak about not being able to read the room, Albo has a historic majority in the Parliament partly because of Australian's disgust and repudiation of Trumps politics. Hegseth, like Caesar's consul comes out and demands that allies up defence spending in Asia to 5 percent of GDP. Now i think the reason behind this is simple, the Europeans have responded to US demands and increased their spending, but they spent their money domestically, the US military industrial complex will only lightly benefit from European rearmament. The US is by far the biggest arms dealer in the Asia pacific region and would significantly benefit from increased spending. Personally I'd be happy to see us increase of spending especially on land forces, we recently significantly decreased an order for armoured infantry vehicles from South Korea. (significant number were to be built here) Id be happy to see us cancel our order for a new fleet of Abrams tanks for the latest variant of the Leopard (which is what defence requested but a political decision was made to buy Abrams) I think we are still waiting on the delivery of 60 Apaches from the US. There has definitely been a strategic shift toward increasing our naval power to assist the US in the region, personally I prefer we spend money on defending the the continent which geographically is basically unconquerable.

And then there is the AUKUS submarine deal....

Yes perhaps. Maybe I’ll just take Gaokao and attend a Chinese university. Or UK and Singapore has some nice ones. But I always wanted to study in US partly because I can return to Utah and watch Jazz games often. Now this seems unrealistic lol

Well…judging from QS the university of Sidney or Melbourne looks fairly good and one of my friends wants to come. But u know there was a video going viral on Chinese social media about a Chinese couple being bullied by some teens and the comments said that this isn’t the sole case, I know most guys from Australia are very friendly and I’m also a fan of Jingles, but I might be somewhat concerned about safety. Btw bro do u know about this incident?

Between Melbourne Uni and RMIT there is a massive number of university dorms and a very big Asian student population. Considering its inner city Melbourne its still a very safe place for the most part. Like any big city there are junkies and *****ergs that cause problems but they cause problems for everyone not just overseas students. Its not race driven, its dickhead driven. I'm actually quiet surprised at how safe it is, I worked at the Royal Melbourne Hospital for nearly 20 years its opposite Melbourne Uni and was surprised at how common it was to see young female Asian students walking about on their own at 3 or 4am in Nth Melbourne. If I had a daughter that age i wouldn't be happy with her doing that but there are surprisingly very few issues (probably 4 or 5 rapes and murders in the immediate area in the last 10 years.)
