The Trump administration has a strange view on global politics. They want peace everywhere, but only on their terms and if not they'll resort to war rhetoric. It's so shortsightedly black and white, like the bully at school saying he won't beat you up if you give him your lunch money.
I hope they'll have the sense to be more nuanced when it involves matters where China has an interest in as well.

To be fair to Trump, many previous administrations didn't even pretend they wanted peace.
Trump is wildly ignorant and proud of it. The tariffs aren't a real plan, they're just something Trump thinks directly gets them money from other countries, and he likes looking like he's strong-arming people. Everything else is damage control from the people around him who actually know how they work.
The Supreme Court, for the cases decided on an ideological basis, aren't meant to have logical consistent jurisprudence that will apply if people in the outgroup brought a case. They will make it up as they go because they can.
The fascist playbook is rules for thee, not for me, and that is perfectly consistent.
There is a reason, though, for the Israel support. Their base of Evangelicals view a thriving Israel as necessary to bring about the end times. It also conveniently lets them funnel money to defense contractors, hurt Brown people, and once again, make Trump feel like a big man. It's gross and pathetic on top of being an affront to basic humanity.

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileLol, Vance had the water levels in some backwater river raised so he could go kayaking for his birthday. All of this just boggles the mind, and we're only 6 months in to it.

True, but Trump only says he wants peace because he wants to get award a Nobel Prize and he's smart enough to realize he's not smart enough to ever get it for something like chemistry or physics.
Hey GG, what's happening in the UK? A new Banksy artpiece criticizing how peaceful pro palestine protesters were arrested has been covered up? That's some heavy censorship.
I wish i had a moment to check out some Banksy pieces when I was in Europe.
If it makes you feel any better, I've been in Europe for quite some time now and I haven't seen any either.
Charlie Kirk got murked, while giving a speech on gun violence. You've got to love America sometimes. Perhaps the most successful Australian political YouTuber called this our generation's JFK moment. 
You couldn't make this shit up.

It wasn't really publicise d here much.
There's this peaceful Palestine protest group that the government has branded a terrorist organisation.
I can't comment as the government has curtailed free speech and make arrests for having an opinion.
I don't know who he is, but people being shot and dying is always a sad thing.
Apparently he rose to prominence for being right wing, and by actually debating about his views with non-right wing opponents. On paper, without having seen any video's of this, at least that sounds reasonable. The US would be better off if there was more talk between the 2 opposing views.

Lol.
Makes me want to watch 'V for Vendetta' again.
Anyhow, they've already begun scrubbing the grafitti away because 'it was on and old and protected building'.
Many Americans are questioning that, too!
