At the opening dinner of the Osaka G-20 meeting in June 2019, with only interpreters present, Xi had explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang. According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do.

as per WSJ

As disgusting as this is, I am 0% suprised. This is completely on-brand for Trump.

The US definitely created chattel slavery.

Although maybe I should amend this before conservative twitter makes me go viral while saying "lol you IDIOT the United States didn't even exist in the 1690s when colonies created chattel slavery. You idiot, you rube, you fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow LOL"

Yeah, the Spanish empire got there first. Not an accident the colonists adopted the Spanish word "negro."

It's not like Lowe said their bffs.

He called him up after meeting him for advice to give his son.

I listened to that podcast a week ago, and was confused at the headline. Though it is the hill after all.

Not nice bro

@Cindi absolutely no disrespect, but can you expand on why you hated it? Is it just that it's a joke that references the obviously sensitive issues of race/slavery/reparation?

Because it compares Jews being slaves which, if it happened (and there's currently no evidence it did) occured over a millennia ago. Then it argues reparations, which by the way, Jews received after WWII even by America when the Holocaust did not happen on American soil. It's a massive false equivalency to degrade and belittle actual black issues by conflating bad rhetoric into a false equivalence at the expense and laughter of the black struggle.

Personally I took it as more tongue-in-cheek and not a serious suggestion that the idea of paying reparations was hypocritical. I feel like the core of the joke is that there is no such thing as a perfect victim- a positive and humanising message overall.

Russia has been supplying us with natural resources and raw materials most of Europe lacks since WW2. (when Hitler tried to take it but couldn't).
Only in the 80's were natural gas deposits found in Holland. NordStream2 is a project to increase the supply to Europe so the increasing demand can be met.

Putin used the gas supply to blackmail Ukraine after it didn't pay its bills, stole gas from Russia and no longer paid the interest on their loans.
Europe is working to diversify its energy supply, including gas shipped from the US but that's very difficult to do and Russian gas is cheap and has been reliable for decades.

The US is also unable to supply an alternative on the same scale especially after they turned the Middle East into a mess so Iraq > Syria > Turkey > Europe is no longer possible either.
So we either buy from the Russians, who only want and actually need the money or we hand over energy security to CZHINA.

Just wanted to chime in that the reperations for slave labor in concentration camps were quite frankly a cruel joke.

Supreme Court Rules Against Trump Administration In DACA Case

Quote
A narrowly divided Supreme Court extended Thursday a life-support line to some 650,000 so-called "Dreamers," allowing them to remain safe from deportation for now, while the Trump administration jumps through the administrative hoops that the court said are required before ending the program.

The vote was 5-to-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts casting the decisive fifth vote that sought to bridge the liberal and conservative wings of the court.

Bolton gave Trump a ton of praise for various conservative initiatives that neo-cons wanted. Being tough on China, Venezuela, Iran, etc. Also, after HR McMaster quit, there wasn't a ton of internal options.

Bolton was there, so he got chosen.

Trump didn't want to hire Bolton as his first NSA because he didn't like how his mustache would look on TV, so he went with Flynn instead.
There were rumors that Trump would only hire Bolton if he shaved it off.

Trump also made Bolton pinky swear he wouldn't start anymore wars before he finally hired him.
