The Trumps & Elon tweets thread (Had to make this since it's never ending)

Why should US AID be classified, after all its AID.

Zelensky himself said that the US AID he received by ukraine is only 85 billion much less then the numbers the Biden Government officially sent. So it means the rest of money is going back into the pockets of NGO who have a members of US senate and house of representatives as a board member in those NGO.

Why else would they send billions to some third world country when their own citizens have been left homeless by fire or hurricane or even the traditional homeless people in the USA.

Every senate member who opposes RFK Jr has taken millions froms pharma companies.

Every senate member that opposes Tulsi gabbard have taken money from the MIC.

CIA with its 50 to 100 billion black budget can do what ever it wants and there is no over sight. Some of it's actions are done via the US AID and the fact that DOGE has acess to it and the Treasury means, the tap is going to be closed and with it all the kick backs that US politicians get.

Even Janet Yellen the former chairwoman of federal reserve makes 7 million in speaking fees. Nicky Haley made who was million dollars in debt went on to become a multi millionare after quting as the US ambassador to UN. She demands a private jet and 1 million in speaking fees basically lobbying and spreading the US narrative.

Yes. There are more direct impacts on us too possible : covid and Boeing Max disasters were also under Trump. And Trump undoubtedly removed safeguards that could have prevented them. Boeing Max disasters were bad for the reputation of Boeing, but mostly people from other countries died in the 2 accidents directly attributable to it. Covid was obviously an unmitigated disaster for the whole world, and "coincidentally" safeguards in both intelligence and virus research were removed in the preceding 3 years.

Huh, Trump was himself not told about the origins of Covid or the US funded gain of reasearch in Wuhan.

Officals working under Trump even bragged lying to Trump about troops in Syria.

Boeing MAX has nothing to do with Trump.

It's all due to maximizing profits and DEI. When you hire some one based on their skin color or race only vs based on merit, expect every company to go down hill.

Yes, when the boss doesn't know what the underlings are doing, the boss is dumb. Whole organisation, country or the world might suffer.

The whole platform of Trump in particular, and republicans in general is deregulation. Leave corporates to do whatever they want with lower oversight, lower taxes etc. Specifically with Boeing Max, FAA allowed Boeing to certify themselves.

The detailed report has been released recently, and this guy was giving Boeing the benefit of doubt until recently :
,

But he has also come to the conclusion that the report is damning. And FAA allowed Boeing to do the job of FAA.

The line of reasoning from Trump to deregulation to FAA to Boeing Max to crashes is very clear.

Now that US AID has been stopped, guess all the protests on streets from paid activist/protestors will winde down globally including India. Many of the next generation college graduates in political science and journalism will be out of jobs

In one of his talks Mike Benz says USAid isn't at all what it says but something more nefarious. But they don't operate alone and with other NGOs.

Look, I'm a fan of the school that says shape your environment lest it shape you. Standard statecraft. So recognise it as such.

Meaning if we aren't fcu**ing around internally with ALL of our neighbours then we're losing a trick. The degree to which we do this waxes and wanes over the decades depending on who is in office.

We already have a working model. The Afghan one. Work to build the reservoir of goodwill towards India among the natives

Lots of love from India :cool:

If a country like India whose capital doesn't even have breathable air can send a billion dollars in foreign aid every year, than US can surely send that much, it's not a massive amount.

i won't worry about that. we had 75+ years to do it, it didn't happen. Just look at our 2 dumb neighbours -pak1 & 2. both have gone through coups etc because they decided the british style of governance was not to their liking. We are still standing strong because we have a strong system which the british gave us and we have made it stronger. A&A know running the govt is not easy. Any businessman will become mad looking at the red tape and the slow speed of work in the govt. If they use AI to increase productivity in govt, I won't feel bad if they try to push some agenda of theirs. It's not the end of the world like some are making it out to be. If they were interested in owning the govt, they would have bought up all the ministers by now. Just tata, godrej, adani, ambani, birla, and a few others have enough earnings of a small country. i'm sure they could have bought out everyone and could have privatized the govt long time back if they wanted.

Tata ,Godrej , Birla were vassals of the British to be honest . They were part of East India company . Tata till date has had more contracts and easy govt money than any other corporate in India before as well as after independence . The British did not invent governance . We had governance before the British came . The romans , greeks had governance and well written laws .

Exactly what 'murrica forgot in the long run towards their hegemony.

Disagree. After WW2, their idea of cultivating allies and partners was akin to gardening. Their alliances endured right through the cold war and into the present day. Yes, there is bickering and that is normal. But with Trump who else can they run to.

Greatest threat to American hegemony was always internal. Where they lose interest in being leader of the free world as was the case with Obama and Biden. Over three terms you saw American deterence weaken to some extent vice Russia, Iran & China.

Trump is not a miracle worker
