Strategic genius and budding dictator Malignant Fascist, who recently used tariffs to drive India further into the arms of war criminal Putin and Xi because Prime Minister Modi wouldn't nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize (!!), had to endure more fruits of his incompetence with this spectacle yesterday in Beijing:
Xi Jinping staged a staggering show of China’s military power on Wednesday before some of the world’s most powerful authoritarian leaders, rallying them behind his vision for a new world order as US President Donald Trump wages a global trade war and shakes up American alliances.
From atop the Gate of Heavenly Peace in Beijing, Xi presided over a 70-minute parade to mark the end of World War II – flanked by a strongman waging Europe’s bloodiest conflict since 1945 and an Asian leader funneling him troops and weapons.
To many in the West, the defining image of the spectacle is not the parade of stealth fighter jets, nuclear-capable missiles or troops marching in perfect synchrony – but the sight of Xi, Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un standing side by side, in an unprecedented show of solidarity against the US and its allies.
They formed the defiant face of a growing bloc of illiberal leaders determined to push back against Western rules and tilt the global balance of power in their favor. [snip]
The deliberate display of unity is a pointed rebuke to Trump’s faltering attempt to end Russia’s war in Ukraine – and an open challenge to America’s waning global leadership under the US president. (our emphasis)
If the intention was for the narcissistic, fragile MF to be meant to feel left out of the gathering of authoritarians, well:
That message has seemingly been received by Trump, who wrote on Truth Social as the parade was underway: “May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration. Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against The United States of America.”
Putin, of course, was quick to troll his jealous Agent Krasnov:
Putin responded during a Wednesday news conference in Beijing, saying “the US president does not lack a sense of humor,” adding that none of the world leaders who joined the summit in China “expressed negative judgments about the current US administration.”
Ouch! Nothing stings so much as the rebuke of a lover!
Meanwhile, here are are the three tyrants greeting WWII veterans:
You can see the full 2-hour parade here, if you're of a mind.
America First = America Alone = America Weak.
