Of course he thinks that.🤡
This perfectly epitomizes what @DavidDeutschOxf calls The Pattern.
One reason why anti-rational memes are hard to pin down is sometimes their premise/theory is many layers under the cognitive dissonance manufactured to enact them.
🚨 BOMBSHELL! Tucker Carlson confirms Israel intentionally hijacked the Iran war to launch an unprovoked invasion to steal land in Lebanon.
He reveals the Zionist regime uses American tax dollars to systematically blow up civilians in Beirut. Washington is fully complicit!
The error Americans and Westerners have been making about the war is that it's primarily about obtaining leverage over China (and kind of nukes).
Not regime change. Not helping Israel. Not liberating the Iranian people. If those things happened, all the better.
But with China's stranglehold on critical minerals, their upstream energy & food imports are their vulnerability.
Secondly, Trump doesn't want to cause a global recession. This is why he hasn't instigated China's economy directly, because there's too much systemic supply-chain risk concentrated in China.
After the mid-terms we may see more fireworks.
@randgroup This is not a chart of holdings, the TIC data shows value which is down because yields are up. This actually hurts them because they have less liquid reserves to maintain their currency peg.
Yo, to all my book nerd friends-
I haven't finished it yet, but this is the best sci-fi/horror book I've read in years!
I thought the author (Sam Hughes) was a @DavidDeutschOxf fan, but I think his concepts deviate slightly after getting into it.
Highly recommend.
Over the years I've watched a lot of people convert from far-left/progressive/woke to more reasonably center-left or even become fully conservative.
But, I've never seen someone conservative convert to the far-left.
Tucker Carlson is patient zero.
Also, energy is good.
