My son has a friend from high school whose name happens to be Rishi. I asked him to ask his buddies if they ever expected their buddy to end up as one of a handful of nuclear powers and to have control over a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
Watching various Trump voters on various focus groups. They really don't get or say they don't get why people don't like Trump. They think this is completly cool behavior and people who don't like him are deranged and hateful.

He's definitely bending the arc of history to create a closed economy and closed society. The power of accumulated wealth to create influence is a thing though. They gave out a lot of Sinovac and their debt traps are laid all over the place. I was amused when they tried to lay a debt trap on the former Afghan government. It was one risible outcome of the disaster. You can try to bind the elected government of Afghanistan but what do you do when they get on a plane with suitcases of cash.
Matter of fact: my buddy and I were Ginger vs. Amber Lynn. I liked Ginger's sweetly pretty good looks and my buddy was into Amber's obvious curves. Ginger was like a tumble in the late summer hay in the barn where as Amber was like some gritty back alley on a rainy night in Tokyo where the stakes were life or death.
Of course, Ginger's young lithe body was kept lean by copious amounts of cocaine so she was clearly not Mary Ann...
this feels like the opposite of 2020 when dems thought they had it all locked up and the Qs voted on election day. If this makes more people work harder then all to the good. Despair serves nobody.
