Speaking of absurd: The Mad King threatens to bomb Oman if it doesn't go along with the USA exactly.
He wants to delcare the Strait of Hormuz a US territory
He cancelled military excersizes in Kore because he gets along so well tithe Kinmie - who' sending arms to Russia and troops to fight Ukraine
On top of all the other bullshit he's pulled off!
The President is fucking insane and maybe. just maybe there's a chance that they'll pull their thumbs out of their asses after November and DO SOMETHING about it

Re: The Titanic thread
The State of Leadership: The creator argues that the American political system has devolved into a "royal court" rather than a functioning democracy, where leaders, specifically targeting Donald Trump, operate without accountability (1:53-2:30).
Cultural Cowardice: A central argument is that the American public has become passive and fearful of conflict or cancellation, which enables authoritarian behavior and discourages resistance to power (0:33-1:09).
Systemic Decline: The video links this perceived moral decay to broader national issues, including the decline in standard of living, unaffordability, food insecurity, and the erosion of international trust, particularly citing foreign policy shifts in Korea and the Middle East (2:51-5:37).
The Corporate Model: The narrator posits that the U.S. now functions more like a corporation than a nation, with a prioritization of short-term gains, algorithms, and clicks over honor and integrity (6:28-8:37).
The creator concludes by suggesting that, without the distractions of external conflicts or media spectacles, the country is on a trajectory toward internal collapse, potentially resulting in revolution or civil war (8:37-9:16).
Russians are slaves and the American's are sellouts. Both are worthless.
