So if Trump gets reelected, I think the first thing he will do is offer arms to help the Russians out, and cancel any deals made with Ukraine. Bad news for Ukraine, and even worse news for Europe in general. Why most of the Eastern Block countries suffered under the Russian Thumb of the KGB. They do not want to be there ever again.

The USA has a history of fighting for democracy in the world (ok its acted as the world's policeman to ensure US trade around the world). The election of Trump will reverse this US policy. Ukraine without support from the US will stumble, and the rest of the eastern block countries will follow suit.

Trump could pull the US out of NATO, leaving Europe in a bag of shit, when it comes to Russia.
… and China will will surely take over the Asia pacific region, making trade routes at the mercy of the Chinese.

So you think that Trump wants to help the Russians defeat Ukraine and even help them expand even further into Eastern Europe.

How would that benefit Trump and or the US?

There is no way that it would so why would he do it?

Please make it make sense. I don't think you can.

Also, US presidents do not have unlimited, unchecked power. It's not like Trump can wake up one morning and say, "send a bunch guns and bombs over to Russia, I want to help them out.

It doesn't work that way. It would have to be approved by the congress. Why would they approve it? They wouldn't.

Lastly, there's a little thing called public opinion. Not a lot of pro Russian sentiment amongst the general population.

Geopolitics is a complicated game.

I don't think Trump is any kind of tactical genius, but what you're suggesting is ridiculous.

So , once the Chinese have taken control, wouldn't that have a negative impact on their ability to import food and energy.

It would also affect their ability to export their crap around the world because the world might not be so happy with them.

So, maybe not such a good idea.

As long as there is a chorus that sings so loudly Trump won't hear the nation's cry of disapproval, Trump will do anything for his vain glorious Putin.....

If Trump wins the Presidency, he most likely will have congress and idiots in congress that will scrape and bow to whatever Trumpmeister wants... And he wants to have the power of a Putin, life and dead kind of power, the type his narcissism demands of himself....

Sure its not how the system works, but the system is broken.... After all in 2016 the electorate elected Trump to fix the system.... he only fucked it up more!!!

Sure people see Trump as decisive and as a leader, but he is the wrong kind of leader, who only does things for himself. He won't sacrifice himself for his country, after all he avoided the draft by a doctors note .... Service to his country is not a priority, its for losers....

Trump started his reelection campaign a year earlier than is normal, because of the classified documents he didn't return, even when he was asked to return them nicely. And ever since he been saying its a political witchhunt against him.... All Trump is, he is a BULLSHIT artist.... A conman.

So if Trump wins he will crush Ukraines hopes, because Trump has a crush on Putin... it so fucken simple even a blind man can see it...

Something like 70% of the world's trade goes through that area in shipping. That includes shipping to the US which will affect US markets. China dosen't care if it starves its citizens, afterall Mao did that in the 1950s.....
China also has the land routes north through Mongolia and Russia to make it to Iran, which would bypass the south China sea and India to get to Africa.
China's belt and road and loans to other developing countries is to make sure when the loans default, they can build military bases in those countries.

There is a documentary on how Chinese drug smugglers are getting footholds into alot of Pacific Island groups.

Also China can get oil from the eastern/northern route around Russia. Or build a pipeline from the north Russian ports.

If China has a weak point, there are ways of eliminating them....

I think if they take control, it would mean they will be in control not only of trade in that region but also the way goods are being distributed. Meaning all goods coming into and out of that region would need to go thru them including goods and services going into Australia etc. No military ship or cargo can pass without their permission. If for some reason there is a conflict somewhere nearby and the west needs to be there for military support or humanitarian support, It won’t happen without China’s approval. That would mean west will need to make concession.like for example, Taiwan needs to ship those chips that are very much needed in the west or goods manufactured in Vietnam or Thailand. That won’t be that easy anymore. Look at Singapore. Small island that doesn’t produce anything at all, but is one of the riches country in the world. Why? Bcoz of its port. The South China Sea will not become an international water anymore. Goods coming from the west will need to reroute farther making cost extremely expensive and becomes less competitive. That is why there are right now 9 US and British bases in the Philippines. I will post a video later. This is to protect Taiwan and its waters. China right now is the factory of the world whether we like it or not. The moment they stop supplying the market, we all will suffer. There was a funny saying that goes like this. God created the world but everything now is made in China. If this happen, China will control the world. Chinese don’t do wars like the US. They use trade. That’s why there is a trade war. The west sell arms. They east sells food and raw materials for people’s daily lives. Question is which is more important?


Pls watch the video if you can.

What happens to China when 3/4 of the world stops buying their exports?

It will collapse.

"Trump has a crush on Putin."

Do you have some secret inside knowledge on this topic?

Any proof or just your gut feeling?

The ridiculous statements are starting to pile up.

I'm seeing a trend.

Maybe TDS?

Trump is the better stage actor of the two. These guys are convinced it would make him a better prez, despite being a convicted felon.

Ok? It’s a YouTube video. Where is the cnn you said substantiated this? Btw, I don’t know who these people are except perhaps Pier. So I can’t be a big fan.
LOL I even told you the time in the video it appears. You're just being willingly stupid. People who actually follow politics know who most of those people are. You obviously dont outside of MSDNC.

Still everybody. They have already monopolized almost everything. Where will the rest of the world buy the things they don’t produce themselves? Produce themselves? Other countries will produce themselves? It will be so expensive that only a few can afford it. I get what you mean but do you think Europe will stop buying from them? Look around your home this morning and tell yourself which stuff aren’t made in China or somewhere else. Not just the actual product but also consider the raw materials that went into it. Even if those essential products are made in Thailand or Vietnam or some other parts of the world we all still need that route. “The South China Sea has historically been an important trade route between northeast Asia, China, southeast Asia, and going to India and the west. The number of shipwrecks of trading ships that lie on the ocean's floor attest to a thriving trade going back centuries” And how about the little product the west produces? Where will they sell them? China doesn’t need the west. The west needs China. What your’re saying is the west will just buy stuff from their neighbors. Neighbors that they don’t need to travel by sea? What if that country doesn’t produce it? Just go to the supermarket, or homedepot, or appliance stores, or bestbuy or ikea, or Costco. Your TV, your computers, even the phone you’re using now. The light bulb in your home, the clothes and shoes you wear, the hardwood floors you step on. Not to mention the rice and wheat on our dinner table. Not all of these are made in the west. They are 90% made in China or somewhere else. That is why there is trade. West sell them something and vice versa. Even if they’re not made in China they still need that maritime routes. Hundreds of oil tankers pass that routes every single day, are you kidding me?! If China controls that region they control the world. It’s as simple as that. Just ask one simple question. Why is the US present in that region? What the heck are they doing there when in fact they have their own problems to deal with back home? China has the capability to starve the world. It’s not hyperbole it’s a fact. It’s all about power and control my friend.

what a load of horseshit

China's Navy is a joke, compared to the U.S.

the only thing lacking is political will, which will happen if China tries your delusional scenario

Starve the world?

hardly, China is a country that can't feed it's own population now

if Europe and the West had the intestinal fortitude to, they can cripple China economically

who are they going to "trade with" Africa? Latin America? ect...

all countries with economies of no note, purchasing power to speak of

China isn't anywhere near as economically powerful as idiots like to portray

their GDP is nothing compared to the U.S. Europe, even Canada, after 8 yrs of Trudeau trying to destroy it

the real problem is our idiot politicians, business leaders, lack of intelligence in general of our population

we don't have cheap "goods" we have garbage, China produces GARBAGE

and we're being sold a lie, you want cheap shit, there are plenty of 3rd world SE Asian countries to exploit still

we don't need China, we need people with ethics/integrity/intelligence

they don't produce anything we can't ourselves

and the lie that it's cheaper, then why are we all so in debt?

If it's China vs the world, China loses every time.

If it's China vs the US, China loses every time.

You seem to have an unrealistic view of China's economic and military capabilities.

The Chinese have not attempted any moves with their military because they know they have zero chance of success.

China is a communist dictatorship that is slowly rotting from the inside out.

They won't be taking over the world anytime soon.

Though the Chinese are extremely corrupt, they put engineers and scientists into leadership and out-capitilism-ed the so called 'free econonmies' for three decades. Make no mistake of what they can do. And their R&D spend is higher than most of the western world.

Even the latest embargos of advanced chip equipment is only having a temporary effect. They have clones of the latest fighters and more advanced missle tech, and have no compuction or public outcry against putting robots into theaters of war.

Im no fan of the Chinese system, but they are a force to be reconed with. Their greatest threat is actually internal if they split up once the economy transitions - there is a current 'offshoring' from China to Vietnam/Indonesia/Thailand/Myramar/Malaysia that is speeding up and could cause trouble if the jobs dissapear ( i think this is one of the reasons you dont hear alot of complaints from Muslim Asia about the Uighers, too much money).

Are you sure you want to make the litteralist argument? It might bite back. I mean, i guess technicaly he didnt actually 'sleep' either , so he's not lying right? If that is your requirement then ive got some bridges to sell you.
And if you are taking my comment serious...I've got a few on ramps sitting around for your bridges you might want to consider.
