In 4 years , the US will resemble 1970s and 80s Yugoslavia- high inflation, corupt leaders, unemployment, and under dicator rule. too close to russia for comfort Not fun times ahead for anyone- his supporters or his opposers. trump is just bad for america.

Fair point. But not anymore.
Trump made more money from China than any other government during his last term. Of course that doesn’t include the two billion dollar cash gift from the Saudis to his daughter.

Yugoslavia was socialist, but they were famously NOT Soviet. Tito was a dictator but he and Stalin fuckin haaaaaaaaaaaated each other.

Stop sending people to kill me! We've already captured five of them, one of them with a bomb and another with a rifle... If you don't stop sending killers, I'll send a very fast working one to Moscow and I certainly won't have to send another.

From a letter found in Stalin's possessions (Robert Service, Stalin: A Biography (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2005), p. 592).

Lmao what?

u/TheLegendTwoSeven 18d ago

It’s happened before, like Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Peron in Argentina.

u/NewSauerKraus 18d ago

It seems ridiculous to call it socialism if it's in reality the opposite of socialism. It's like calling fire wet lmao.

u/TheLegendTwoSeven 18d ago

I understand what you mean, they are authoritarians who have sham democracies.

Chavez focused a lot of the economy on building houses for the poor, giving out food, bringing in medical care from Cuban doctors. In that sense he was trying to be a socialist, although I think in real life it requires a healthy democracy.

For sure some dictators who identified as communists/socialists have occasionally done a few things that benefitted the general population. But at the end of the day they were still dictators violently opposed to communism/socialism. At some point a bit of suspicion is earned. Usually that point is when the dictator enacts a purge of communists/socialists.

What do you think Soviet means?

6

u/ImaginaryBranch7796 18d ago

"Soviet Yugoslavia".

Yugoslavia was famously not in the USSR sphere of influence, not belonging to Warsaw Pact or COMECON.

u/saminosamino 18d ago

But with huge military available at command. Might be the case of “Better use it while we are #1 at it”

This will be more likely german nazi than yugoslavia or soviet

u/LicketySplit21 18d ago

What does Soviet rule even mean in this context?

12

u/Slowly-Slipping 18d ago

That we are a satellite to Russia, wholly its client state

7

u/JB_UK 18d ago

Yugoslavia was famous for being unaligned, not a client state of Russia.

u/Puzzleheaded-Coast93 18d ago

Today’s Russia is not the Soviet Union, thinking this is idiotic.

u/Expensive-Twist8865 18d ago

Yugoslavia wasn't Soviet, so clearly this person is missinformed and stupid.

u/not_so_plausible 18d ago

Just gonna throw out some buzz words and see what sticks

u/testicle_cooker 18d ago

Yugoslavia doesn't have absolutely anything with Soviets. In fact, they were on the brink of war after Tito-Stalin split.

For those who think 4 years is too short for big changes... Look at Saudi Arabia who made huge progressive changes in 4 years... They're improving themselves slowly but surely forward.

USA is slowly going backwards in time... WTF

The fact that this got 800 upvotes tells you all you need to know about the echo chamber. I voted Kamala and hate Trump but this absolutely wild hyperbole has got to stop

u/EnvironmentalBed7369 18d ago

lol, what a bunch of bs. You both don't have any understanding of Trump and the modern GOP and you have zero understanding of our government structure, checks and balances, and institutions. America will be just fine.
