As far as I can tell from history, for better or for worse, China has always been China.

I suspect fans of "The rest Is History" would agree that the Tom Holland "Everything is Christianity" view on world history definitely applies to China. A country which managed to sleep through Christianity.

But there are shiny new magnificent flagpoles. Which are definitely not compensating for something.

I have no idea what any of this is about, and perhaps it’s best that I remain shrouded in ignorance.

Trump, through Karoline Leavitt, announces he'll make his decision about whether to strike Iran "within the next two weeks" Hmm

She doesn't wear her pinoccchio cross anymore

Ok, might be famous last words, but I think this is going to be a TACO, I don’t think he’s going to do anything.

He’s absolutely loving all the fuss and attention that he could do something. But actually we’ll end up with some sort crappy ceasefire ‘deal’ and everybody will go back to living in disharmony again.

This 2 weeks business is a load of nonsense.

I really hope I’m right!

summerisawesome · 19/06/2025 20:29

It coincides with the end of suspension of tariffs doesn’t it ? Unless of course he moved that goalpost when I looked away

Efacsen · 19/06/2025 20:36

Looks like more TACO ing

But who knows

Kristi Noem was rushed to hospital after visiting a recently closed infectious diseases laboratory with RFK “an allergic reaction” apparently

He has history with the "two weeks" thing, doesn't he? I can't remember the details just now, but in his first administration there was a lot of "I will tell/do/reveal....in 2 weeks". And of course nothing happened because the he'd already moved on to the next round of 🍊💩

For some reason I remember an army story that the enemy attacked every 3 days because that's how long the shits from their rations lasted.

(which brings to mind the British Army rations "AB Biscuits" were affectionately known as anal blockage biscuits during the Falklands)

3 weeks ago he announced many deals would be signed within 2 weeks.

The Los Angeles Dodgers say they have denied entry to ICE agents who arrived at the stadium and "requested permission to access the parking lots."

Good for the dodgers.

Taco is like an attention seeking toddler with the attention span of a gnat. Anything to think he is relevant.

He's ridiculous.

TokyoSushi · 19/06/2025 21:48

I’m sure lots of the tariffs had 2 weeks threats attached to them as well.

What absolutely bonkers times we live in…

Eh? China didn't sleep through Christianity.

It was a positive rejection of Christianity in favour of the much older teachings of Confucius. Xi Jinping's deliberate placement of China's domestic and foreign policies within the context of a Confucian belief system plays into their strong social and cultural heritage.
But as you said, China has always been China. 😊

Interesting that Trump thinks he can declare war on Iran. Constitutionally, that’s Congress’ job.
