The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

frankly , i dont think xi or putin care much about that pomp.
putin is far wealthier than trump...and possibly in global top 5 based on laundered hard assets.
xi can influence global economics far more than trump, and runs the largest military, cyber and otherwise.
both enemies are multiples of trump's IQ...but what authoritarian isn't?

trump has an inability to grok any reality that renders embarrassment...so here comes that part where MAGA claims all this cermeony keeps china docile.
