See this is the exact liberal nonsense I'm talking about. How is Trump "subservient to Russia and China"? Because he views continuing the war in Ukraine as no longer in the United States' interest? And China? I thought Trump was all about tariffs on Chinese goods and starting a trade war in his last term. I don't see that as subservient, that's confrontation. A negative confrontation that just hurt everyone globally, but maybe necessary from a third world perspective, waking up the third world to the reality of the United States and it's economic warfare. If you're talking about dialing down the temperature against China in his upcoming term, that would be because the US benefits from Chinese imports and can't wean itself off of them due to a lack of domestic manufacturing and industry, and because China needs a market to sell their goods to as domestic consumption + exports to the rest of the world can't make up for US consumption, so they'll give in to US demands. I fail to see how such a position is "pro China" it's just self interest.
You have to stop viewing politics through the personalities of world leaders as if it's some kind of Hollywood movie, and view the material reality. If the USA is no longer interested in pursuing a certain action or decides to escalate on another front in the next four years, ask yourself why is that the case, instead of defaulting to "Trump crazy stupid strongman dictator selling out the USA". That kind of liberal analysis is not helpful and will leave you lost. Never underestimate your adversary.
For example in Greenland, many people were going on about how Trump is some big idiot that wants a country that looks big on a Mercator projection. Meanwhile, the United States secured a large rare earth metals deposit in Greenland, stoping Chinese mining companies from getting the rights to it. The US company that bought the rights to the rare earth metals deposit signed a contract with the United States Department of Defence to process the metals. While everyone was distracted by Trump talking nonsense, the US pulled of a heist and exerted more political pressure on its allies. When one hand is doing something (in this case Trump's loud mouth), always look at moves the other hand is making (in this case, the US DoD getting more control in Greenland over their mining deposits). If you fail to do so, the jester will rob you blind. In this case, a large deposit of Rare Earth Ores in Greenland, China excluded and Denmark further vassalised.
What? Trump is subservient to Russia and China. He's selling the country off to make a quick buck.
