Is the Muskrat working for China? (Is Trump working for Putin?)

The fact we don’t know and can’t know is itself a problem

"There are two huge national #security questions at the heart of the Trump regime.

The first is whether #ElonMusk is working, at least in part, for China’s #XiJinping...

#Musk has been in regular contact with the #Russian president —a close partner of #China...

second... Is #Trump working for #Putin?"

#Musk’s actions are in service of both his personal financial interests—and the Chinese government.

His cozy relationships with both #Trump & Chinese President #XiJinping
boost China as it positions itself to replace the US at the forefront of the world stage.

I dislike Xi Jinping's maritime bullying, fear Donald Trump's threats against Panama, and loathe Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

All of these are symptoms of worsening international relations. Let us not forget, however, that this current sickness is in large part a consequence of the US led invasion of Iraq, a war that violated norms against war as in instrument of policy, norms that had acted as an admittedly grossly imperfect yet still functional immune system for the international body politic. I still feel ashamed and angry that the UK's Labour Prime Minister went all in on this war.

What is happening today has deeper roots than the character flaws of some current leaders or an upsurge of populism post 2008. I've no time for talk of "Donald the Dove", but am equally impatient with those who refuse to recognize the role of the George W Bush administration in creating this mess.

@arstechnica If we could egg on the two seed "mumpers" — #musk and #trump — to be the "co-Fuhrers" on the first glorious "manned" flight to #Mars, who should take the other seats? Supposing there are four.

That's a tough one. 🤔

#putin and #xijinping would refuse the honour even if offered, so which two creatures taking one-way trip would be most beneficial to our planet?

Supposing they survived the trip, who'd push their way out of the barrel first to claim the territory (marsitory?) and dibs?

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and Chinese leader Xi Jinping held their first in-person talks Friday, as relations remain tense over a ban on Japanese seafood exports, China's military moves near Japan and the safety of Japanese nationals in China. japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/11/ #japan #politics #chinajapanrelations #china #pla #eastchinasea #fukushimano1 #radioactivewater #trade #defense #xijinping #shigeruishiba

The #economy of #China is doing great!

How do I know?

I don't see anyone saying otherwise

The argument of staying on the birdsite to keep up dialogue beyond one's bubble is in itself laudable, but the author says little about the counterarguments - the intellectual goals+ethics of academia: independence, self-organisation, respectful speech.

Leaving the birdsite because others are leaving is essentially #XiJinping 's #WholeProcessPeoplesDemocracy [1].
