Global Events & Politics Überthread

To be fair to James' his struggles hes enduring are much worse than the people who are being killed or jailed for wanting freedom.

I do look forward to his thoughts on the next Trump controversy though!

LOL.

Im a true "freedom" guy and believe it's not complicated for us to call out this bull****.
 
Free markets man

It solves all problems

Unless it doesn’t

And I guess you should hate on those that lived your dream

LOL, I thought LeBron’s take was bad, for sure. But I think some salient points here are that:
A) Republicans are thrilled to be talking about anything other than Ukraine or Syria. Boo, rich, nominally liberal pro athletes!
B) Corporate America does the same dance wrt China 24/7/365. Seeing pro athletes and coaches getting raked over the coals and taking the heat from politicians is...I dunno. Seems kinda misplaced?

Why would anyone not want to talk about Syria. The strategy will prove to be brilliant.

Its about stopping communism/socialism. All of those human rights issues are bundled into it because one should naturally assume human rights are abused under those systems.

A free market would allow the NBA to tell the Chinese to.**** off.

China isn't use to the companies having the freedom to say or do what they wish.

Why is this so difficult for you socialists?

Putin having to deal with the middle east more is a bad thing for them. Just like its been for us.

This response from you is laughable.

Having allies and maintaining position of responsibility throughout the world is good for an imperialistic power.

Getting bogged down in the Middle East is a drain on resources. Has been this way for centuries.

Do you think we are stronger now because of our presence there? Somehow Putin is going to benefit from this?
 
Free speech advocates and Conservatives should put their money where there mouth is with the NBA.

I cancelled my League Pass subscription. This is the only action that matters. Whining incessantly about it does nothing.

Man - We are so good at middle east policy. We should just stay forever.

Whatever we do - WE MUST STAY IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

All the smart foreign policy people are telling us so.

You do realize you just shared a tweet that makes Trump look bad? Turkish backed forces freeing terrorists and killing the Kurdish troops we just abandoned.
