Unpredictable? Man you misquoted. This 45th thinks he's got pokerface but his card are so obvious. He's gonna misuse America like his other line of business, then leave the nation in debt worse than he came in. The federal reserve is his bankruptcy bail out plan. Keep watching.
Being a one party state (whether we support it or not), China has the time to think on a longer term basis than US. I think China has predicted a Trump like president in US and thus started to transform itself on multiple fronts such as encouraging internal consumption, investing in infrastructures that build nearby nations' partnership and trades, sending students overseas to learn, encouraging one up development in batteries and high tech, and diversifying its trades beyond US and EU several years ago. As a result, it can now comfortably play along with US with 'trade war' or whatever US has come up with.
You shouldn't show what it's going to look like in the thumb nail, just a little bit of it or something; that way as you are speaking we are wondering what your going to draw
The economist loves to wag it’s finger at the US…as an American myself, I personally am glad to be different from UK/EU in that we have fewer “intellectuals” who wish to micromanage everyone from an ivory tower, and I’m glad our citizens are pushing back against this mindset. There’s nothing in Europe that I wish America would adopt…i only hope we can resist the elitism going forward
Like Putin's Kremlin, the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) threats to liberal democracy and individual liberty around the world is strategic and must be taken very seriously.
From imposing a 1984-style cyber surveillance police state in China, destroying the rule of law in Hong Kong, cultural and language destruction in Tibet, to supporting human rights abusers from Cambodia to Zimbabwe, to threatening neighbours especially free democratic Taiwan with military violence, the CCP has in recent years brought its aggressiveness to a new level.
Using state employees posing as 'independent individuals', the CCP has effectively taken control of the Chinese language portion of the Wikipedia and heavily influenced Wikipedia's China-related entries in all languages. It sets up large amounts of fake 'individual' YouTube channels to upload enormous amount of state propaganda materials (in Chinese and other languages) disguised as individual YouTuber's creative works. It drowned Chinese language twitter with misinformation campaigns and confusion, and now starts to follow Putin's steps bringing misinformation campaigns into democratic societies worldwide.
For liberal democratic societies to survive (it's a life-and-death matter without exaggeration) Kremlin and CCP's onslaught, a balancing act is needed. On the one hand, free countries need to wake up to the seriousness of the threats and update anti cyber misinformation legislations, strengthen military, deepen supports to each other especially to frontline democracies such as the Baltic states and Taiwan. On the other hand, liberal democracies should resist panicking and the instinct to roll back openness and become closed societies. It should encourage its citizens improve their literacy to the wider world through language learning, and unite with the freedom loving people from/inside authoritarian countries in our fight against unsavoury regimes.
According to Mr. Trump, the United States is getting a "bad deal" in international economics. Which makes me wonder how the US military was built, after all the US is getting such a bad deal all the time, right? In my mind is is very plausible that the military dominance of the US is based on an underlying economic dominance. But I don't expect some orange moron to understand this little theory of mine.
No matter how much of a fool Trump can be, that doesn't change the fact that China doesn't play fair when it comes to international business. Seriously, to do business in China you have to jump through so many hoops, assuming they let you in at all.
What a wonderful cartoon, worth way more than 1000 words. I thought so myself many times, as I see that cartoon… with the little shining armors on the corner and everything, would't that be Europe!? The little Caribbean of Russia!… Thanks a lot for such an amazing cartoon!
The EU should move more towards the East with trade. The US is an unreliable "ally", if they can even be called that anymore. They're squandering their own importance with this behaviour
i love that pic .. really funny 😀

Nice Drawing

stop believing everything Trump says
(he says bullshit in order to appeal to his base)
is not that hard to predict Trump's moves.
he does what ever he can to seem popular with his base to the point it doesn't get him in trouble with republicans
this is why he appointed Washington insiders to his cabinet.
US never had any knights , only europe had!

Why knight tho? There were no knights in the us.
