Japan won’t just keep conceding to US demands to reach a deal over tariffs, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said, in some of his most combative remarks since President Donald Trump launched a push for more access to Tokyo’s sensitive auto and agricultural sectors as part of his global trade war.
I dunno. I don’t think Biden could have done it. Face is very important to white Europeans. The US could have mechanically ended the war but couldn’t end it politically. They needed the Russophobia, they needed to believe that the munitions consumption would kick start their industry, they needed to test the resolve of their “allies”/vassals. There was too much riding on that particular administration continuing the war and that’s why they needed Trump to come in and end it so it would remain congruent with the narrative
I get all that, but it doesn’t make their self destructive behavior any more rational. You could argue that it’s a national level insanity, but it’s insanity all the same.
Yeah, that’s fair. Not being able to stop because of the system of vibes is pretty insane
