Bari Weiss’s 60 Minutes edited its latest interview with Donald Trump to make the octogenarian’s responses appear much more sane than they actually were.
During one exchange between Trump and host Ross Douthat on the topic of Ukraine, the staff at 60 Minutes decided to trim several sections of Trump’s response that included false claims or total fabrications.
The US have to split China and Russia to be able to contain China. If the US can win Russia over, their war with China and Russia will be less bloody for them because then it’s only China. So they don’t burn all bridges. Also, less weapons to sell to Europe if the war is over.
I see you have a PhD in mental gymnastics
It’s very unlikely that Russia could decide the election with Facebook manipulation from the outside while the US could change the algorithm from inside.
Maybe I look twisted because your perception has been warped.
That’s what someone in a cult would say
Of course. But you can also assume that the elite has fed a bunch of lies to the masses to keep them in line.
I think I rightfully believe that the US are still delivering weapons, e.g. https://www.cnn.com/2026/10/30/politics/us-approves-potential-patriot-missile-sale-ukraine and the EU pays for it as the graphic above shows. If I would go by the votes I would have to doubt this.
It’s not that easy to be sure about the US-China relationship. Maybe they find a way to coexist. However, if the US wants to stay number one they have to stop China’s growth. With Russian resources, China can grow independent from any foreign influence.
What do you think is the US strategy in this situation?
So how is he tough on Russia again?
There’s no eminent conflict with Russia because Putin is pulling the strings with Trump, and even should we get a non-comprimised President and Congress in the near future, Russia is crushed financially and militarily.
China is a whole other problem, and certainly not one Trump has a grip on or even a strategy for.
Do you think that Biden or Harris would have started a direct war with Russia?
It is related. As long as China can rely on Russia, the US cannot isolate China with a naval blockade.
Trump is the strategy.
China grows faster than the US. They just have to wait to dominate the world. Which forces the US to interrupt them. Could they do it as a Democracy?
