it's making libs very very hawkish in terms of foreign policy... all my lib friends now want to strengthen the military... they basically don't want to take any chances and are genuinely worried about other countries hacking our elections, turning off our power grids, etc.

it's making conservatives really dovish at the same time... they talk about how we shouldn't rush to conclusions... need to engage in diplomacy before we blame another powerful country for internal strife... they say that even if Russia hacked us, it likely didn't impact the final tally of the election and thus we shouldn't retaliate.

it almost feels like there is some benevolent plot by the media to control public opinion for something major coming up... don't have a clue what though, but I'm sure it's coming.

Same, but that's where I see everything converging towards. After Democrats win again (and they will), Republicans will use it as an opportunity to purge the party and restore the establishment. The establishment agrees 100% with the whole "we need to go to war with Russia, China, and anyone who doesn't support America's interests around the world" (see McCain, Graham, etc.).

and your thinking is that there won't be a counterbalance to that line of thinking because now Democrats are on board with hawkish policies?

Exactly. Though, I'll note that they were moving in that direction even before this (Clinton was extremely hawkish as SoS).

We need diplomacy with the Chicoms; we need to punish the fuck out of your subhuman mafia leaders. You want asymmetrical warfare with your poisoning and election interference you'll get it in the form of a Western economic/banking pressure campaign that will freak out your oligarchs and fill your soup kitchens. Once Trump is gone you faggots are going to get the horns.

Yeah, that's totally going to end well and not in a huge fucking war, thereby proving my point.

You're going to start a shooting war if the West sanctions and debanks your security state leaders?

You sanction Russia. Putin sinks your entire surface navy the whole of which is parked defenseless against his new missiles. Kinzhal has a 2,000km range. The Russkies dont even need to leave Russian waters to fuck up most of the US fleet.

Diplomacy over what? China will do to Taiwan what Russia did to Ukraine. There is nothing to talk about. Xi is never backing down.

Just goes to show how paper thin most people's policy convictions are, they are easily plied into serving the interests of their masters.

no one has defined what "hacked" actually means, which makes these claims about "russian interference" impossible to take seriously. hacked what? they changed the actual vote tabulations on voting machines? if not, then it seems like bullshit.

anyway, i don't think younger american whites are going to be willing to fight another white-presenting country. the mantra "no more brother wars" (in reference to WWI and II) is getting stronger among the demographic that would be expected to actually fight such a war.
