As someone not from the USA, I need to tell you, this is so much bigger than just the USA.
I seriously believe that a Biden presidency will allow the overtaking (or at least equalising) of China to the USA as the world's greatest power, ushering in a new world order where the world must bow down to China. It is a world where Iran flourishes and Israel suffers, where the EU leaders rubs its hands with glee and the rest of us suffer.
Trump staying in power is literally the difference between a good world and a miserable world.
Are you Aussie? I think all Australians are concerned about China
I'm British. Very few of my countrymen care about the threat of China and they hate Trump. It's so bad.
Same in Sweden, we have no media that is consider conservative so that’s why people hate Trump. They just doesn’t understand geopolitics and read further into Trump than what the TV says.
Globalists are too powerful and control 90% of all information.
I’ll fix Sweden and Germany. It might take me a few years.

Norwegian, but as a Swede you can read i easily. They write about sweden and world politics as well.
Its just propaganda. Its not their opinion strictly.
In ireland, we plebs do what we are told.
You're right, this is bigger than the USA. Identify your local frens.
Looking back, the retreat of Nigel Farage to prop up Johnson was such a bad move.
All Australians on here are, normie Australians don’t even understand their future is being sold out from under them.
It’s crazy to watch. I can see China convincing them to hate their own military all the way from here. facepalm
This. Ozzies on here are outnunmbered in their own country.
Lots of Australians LOOOOOOVE the nanny state. Well over half is filled with woke SJW types.
Australians are well aware. CCP has brought half our country and property. They are the spine of our education- Our universities are heavily reliant on Chinese students. Which is a massive issue right now as our borders are closed and no students can come over - basically our unis are screwed right now. Also consider our education terms/holidays are different to americas. We just started our 6 week Christmas break and return to education late Jan.
Our consumables are over run with Chinese offerings- however that's affordability. Australia is not a cheap country in any stretch. Any American thats travelled over here will attest to that. Shit is mega expensive here. So even true blue Aussies will buy it because its all that fits the budget.
Politically its been tense oz vs China. China set a whole heaps on demands which were laughed out by our PM and then they put out a image on twitter of one of our soldiers with a knife to a child. It was a fake image. Our PM demanded a apology- CCP laughed at us.
Its really important Americans understand, Australia is a large country, the same in size as America, our population is only 26mil. Our forces reflect that population. Nothing. Without America - and given our Monach is a silent owner, we are screwed.
It just seems like the cheap products are a double edged sword as the CCP buys up so much real estate property has become prohibitively expensive and a bigger chunk of the average person's pay that all they can afford is cheap stuff from China or at least that's my analysis as someone not from your country. Here's hoping India and some other countries are able to undercut China more and your markets can diversify more away from China for the cheapest of offerings.
I love Aussies. I'm glad to hear you guys are wise to the CCP and here's hoping more countries unite to challenge China as their bullying and criminality is ridiculous.
Australia is just expensive. Everything. I cant think of set examples because it's the norm for me. But when I travel to the States its like heaven. Its sooo cheap! We have different customs here which are minor but add up. For example there is no free refills here. No. You'll have to pay. Coffee at McDonald's is $5.75 aus (melbourne). Last time I was in the states a latte was $3.50 (2019) Currently usd/aus = $5.75 aus = $4.37usd.
I love ihop in the states. LOVE. We don't have that here. We have pancake parlour. Eat there and you can get 2 pancakes with syrup for $13.50. Plus your $6 coffee and price again for refills. Same for soft drinks.
This is food. Shops. We don't have Ross stores or anything like that. We have kmart (known to be budget friendly) but its full of China stock. Australian made is costly. Its not typical to buy it. The people want to its just not affordable to.
My previous user name which I lost when the server was updated I explained cigarettes. Here 30 pack is $40 plus. Price increases as a sin tax every 6 months. Same as booze.
Very. They've been allowed to buy up everything for far to long. Now they own ports, farming, real estate.
If they are allowed to go unchecked they will own the entire south Pacific. They own NZ (cucked Adern even offered to broker peace). They're going to demolish Philippines soon.
My brother just moved to the Philippines to get married last year. He’s dropped the ball on moving back to the states because locals “treat him so great there.” Oi.
Will he be able to get out before the Chinese take over the place and use it as a forward staging area for their pacific theatre?
Philippines helped us fight the Japanese in WWII. Japanese were definitely more of a military threat then then the Chinese now.
Chinese have numbers for sure but no experience. For example we have been fielding aircraft carriers for a loooong time. They barely even started. Their shitty ripped off tech cannot compete with our real deal inventions. Remember we have not even brought all our toys to the last couple of conflicts. We will be bringing them to fight China.
Filipinos will absolutely go guerilla warfare on the Chinese. They hate them. Vietnam hates them even more. Laos and Thailand hate them. Japan hates them. Korea hates them.
If China tries to grab Philippines for real instead of LARPing on a base which can be destroyed by a missile or two they are going to have to face the Filipinos and the above nations.
China has been sabre rattling for a while. The only thing stopping them so far has been US and AU ships in the area.
As soon as the US pulls their ships it's over.
Canadians (at least the based ones, we are few but do exist) are super concerned about China too. Our current government is litterally a puppet to Xi, we are even hosting PLA troops on our bases for "training", building COVID detainment camps. shits getting freaky
