Trump is then Hitler's farce ... Stalin was of a whole different caliber, I am not sure who would be his farce, I'd almost say Putin but he's definitely not a farce as per the term.
But all in all, I keep saying Trump's every declaration should be taken very seriously.
He will not shun frothing up his followers into a violent frenzy.
He also is very set on destroying the constitution and law book...
These days public-/cargo transportation is far more available and more efficient than it was in 1940 ...
Besides that, Trump has a huge, well armed, following ("militia") that will start frothing at the mouth if they see a "designated deportee" walking in their area....
(For a fun comparison I say go watch the Alabama Top Gear episode from series 9 on YouTube)
And that same following feels it has a Carte Blanche to do whatever as long as they think it supports the orange overlord.
Years ago I happily used some Razer mice and keyboards, even a headset, so in the not too far past I told people around me that Razer was fairly good, quality wise, but alas, I think each and every one I recommended Razer products to had them break and or die well within warranty, and they always had to start a stupid discussion to get the warranty/RMA accepted, a few times even replacements denied outright by Razer.
For me this stands in sharp contrast with Logitech whom has never denied me a warranty, even for products a few weeks beyond the date, and they generally just send out a new item.
That is, for me it is rare for a Logitech product to actually require replacement to begin with, I have a few mice, keyboards and headsets far older than 5 years and they work fine plus are still supported in the drivers.
Speaking of drivers, Razer at one point also made the decision to have their drivers require an account login to function properly (multi-button mice would only have 2 functional buttons if not logged in etc). But after some flak from its users it slightly changed that to the login being optional, but profiles would still be hampered without a continuous online presence.
Coming back to Asus, for a few years now I hear of people having quality issues and grumpy asus service desks, but for me their videocards ways ran fine (even without coil whine, unlike some MSI cards).
I am quite hesitant to buy an Asus monitor or motherboard though.
If this is true it will be devastating for Qualcomm ... they hyped the new chips big time, and some huge manufacturers happily announced products with the new chip.
So if this falls flat, a few influential players will not be happy at all...
Not to mention the rest of the tech media... they will happily sell the pitchforks and torches.
The thing is though it is not only now that the US was perceived as weak, it started during Trump’s time in power. The way Trump plainly kissed Putins feet in deep adoration, and utterly discredited his own forces any way he could, set the tone for the 12 years to follow… Trump being the loser he is only knows to blame others and the way he puts Biden in the spotlight as inept is not doing the US’ reputation any good.
Back then the international “politicians” could see that not only Trump’s 4 years were weak, but Bidens term and the next 4 years after that will be of the same mess with either the republicans destroying Democracy or throwing tantrums and blocking all legislation, regardless who wins the US finds itself in a gridlock of indecisiveness and infighting. (And it’s quite clear it’s all orchestrated by Putin himself … time and time again there’s evidence of strong Russian influence in the US politics and the republicans brush it aside and block investigations with a sheepish smile)
That makes it 12(!!) full years of the US rapidly losing status and power on the world stage.
All in all, Putin knew the US was so predictably incompetent that he could calculate to have 6 years at minimum to wreack as much havoc in Ukraine as he wishes… and we’re only in year 2 of his meat grinder.
