IMO, we are going to get more for our money under Trump.
Biden and the democrats were mostly just throwing money at the problem without requiring any results. I think under Trump we will see more training and strategic (at least) involvement in order to more effectively utilize the billions we are tossing their way. Definitely a challenge for a new (but not first timer) PORUS. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By gaweidert: Xi and the Chinese look looooooooooooooooooooooooooong term. A four year bump in the road is really nothing compared to all that they have harvested in the last 25 years or so. They accept and tolerate some setbacks in the long term. The way they have been handling demographic issues doesn’t support that. They implemented the “One Child Policy” in the 80s to “fix” the excess population problem from the previous programs to increase population. Now they’ve ditched One Child because it has them in serious trouble demographic wise and they are ramping up to force their women to breed. On this issue they are reacting to events, and worse, letting it fester until it’s a big problem before over-reacting. |

The medal winners support the russian backed narrative against Ukraine. They keep repeating it, so I'd say they're doing a mighty fine job supporting russian misinfo campaigns. |

My vote is Zelenskyy is FAR more upset right now. He will end up losing the war, losing a major part of his country, definitely be out of power, and may face worse. We were told multiple times that Ukraine has been defeated, Zelenskyy would be removed in a coup, and the current running claim Is he’ll be out of power by the end of the year. Neither has yet to happen. By that token on January 20th, 2025 trump Gets trillions every year. Originally Posted By Commando223: I would say Zelenskyy he loved taking advantage of old Biden.

Peskov attacked trump and claimed he couldn’t end it in 24 hours like he said. Trump reversed Biden’s no lethal aid rule and put American soldiers directly on Russia’s border and inside Ukraine-peace through strength. Aid will still flow despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth because trump, a narcissist, doesn’t want his name to be attached to Saigon v3 and folks will cheer it because it’s now attached to their guy. And democrats will attack Zelenskyy and Ukraine because it’s not a democrat in the office. |

My vote is Zelenskyy is FAR more upset right now. He will end up losing the war, losing a major part of his country, definitely be out of power, and may face worse. Lol, lmao even. To answer your question: Who is more upset right now, Xi Jinping or Volodymyr Zelenskyy? Comrade Xi. Remember he told the PLA(N) that the target date for readiness to invade Taiwan was gonna be 2027. Trump upsets that timeline; there's a lot of internal Chinese politics in play here. In 1982, to avoid another "Mao" situation from arising, the Chinese put in place a two term (2 x 5 years = 10 years total) limit on the Chairman job. Xi broke that rule by getting a third term back in 2022. The end of that third term is in 2027. So.... Meanwhile Volodymyr is grinning like a Cheshire cat because he can now start hitting all sorts of Russian targets that were previously off limits due to Biden/Sullivan anti-escalation ninnies. |

Zelensky and Ukrainians with long memories are probably thrilled Trump won. When i was there many Ukrainians where well aware of the recorded phone calls between the Biden family and the previous Ukrainian administration. Obama did fuck all about Ukraine and Trump was the first to allow weapons to be sent. What was supposed to happen was Russia was supposed to take Ukraine and their comedian joke of a leader was supposed to bail. Putin didn’t invade when Trump was president because Trump considered burning the Kremlin to the ground on the table if they did. Zelensky needed ammunition not a ride fucked that up big time. I would wager Z and Trump have been in touch.
