King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Ever since Joe Ga landed in America, he felt a different kind of atmosphere...

All the newspapers, television media, online media, politicians, and celebrities were discussing a topic about 'invasion'.

Creating 'political correctness' is sometimes difficult, yet at other times, it's very easy!

In most Europe and America contexts, if you seriously understand their countries and individuals, you'll realize that whether in America or Europe, the majority of ordinary people there aren't as concerned about 'politics' as one might think, especially international politics...

The average people in Europe and America seem keen on elections, but that's because elections concern their personal interests.

Ordinary people believe in or are forced to believe in politicians whose political claims strike a chord with them, hoping that those politicians' policies can get them out of trouble or make their lives better.

Most ordinary people's understanding of foreign countries comes from European and American media...

So old mothers are forever impoverished and backward...

So Russia is always evil...

So the North Peninsula might become a new axis of evil at any time...

But when it comes to other third-world countries, these ordinary people, who grew up in the context of Bai Zuo, mostly follow the idea of 'sympathizing with the weak'.

Feminism, LGBT, even vegetarianism, and animal protectionism all follow this logic...

Providing a certain level of preferential treatment to ignored minority groups to compensate for problems caused by discrimination and negligence in the mainstream social environment.

This sort of thing is politically like adding welfare, it's a never-ending road of no return...

Europe and America began to use these brand-new topics to hijack most people and divert everyone's attention when economic growth could not meet the politicians' needs for vote grabbing.

Politicians vertically divide the populace, binding Bai Zuo's votes through political correctness, while also attracting votes from minority groups.

'Sympathizing with the weak' is packaged by the media as some kind of sign of people's spiritual enlightenment after economic development.

But who knows, those politicians shouting about sympathizing with Ukraine might not even know the names of the four provinces in Ukraine.

When NATO's war machine starts running, the media is the wheels of the war chariot. They begin to coerce most people onto the carriage, increasing the weight of the war vehicle, then use inertia to smash through all 'unfairness'.

From the moment Joe Ga stepped off the plane, he felt a 'war atmosphere'...

The media's continuous coverage, a variety of characters taking the stage to educate people on international law...

They tell everyone how Russia illegally took Crimea back in the day, emphasizing that helping Ukraine is safeguarding the existing international order, is maintaining justice, peace, and human rights...

Everyone present at the gathering was a core subordinate or friend of Joe Ga, and even they were influenced.

Jemma's mother, Alicia, such a calm and wise woman, had certain biases when discussing Ukraine, even somewhat failing to understand Joe Ga's resolute decision not to get involved in the Ukraine war.

Because from any perspective, the special nature of P.B gives it an even more advantageous position compared to NATO.

At the very least, with P.B entering the scene, Russia can't use NATO expansion as an excuse.

Joe Ga was well aware of who was present at the event...

The attendees were all seasoned characters who had weathered many storms; they weren't questioning Joe Ga's thoughts but were perplexed at his unwillingness to make a fortune in Ukraine.

Because from Alicia and Steven's viewpoint, announcing involvement in the Ukrainian justice war in line with the media's tone would greatly foster the repair of relations with the Democratic Party.

P.B had already effectively fallen out with big-mouthed Donald, and now with such a good opportunity not being seized, it's indeed hard to comprehend.

It should be known that most of the money P.B earned in Aqionghan was provided by the Democratic Party, and if they could board the chariot this time, P.B might take another step forward.

What they were considering wasn't entirely wrong; the only thing they hadn't thought of is what the outcome would be if Russia didn't collapse as expected.

Believing that Joe Ga's supposedly prolonged war wouldn't end anytime soon was already their limit.

In their minds, if Russia could hold out for half a year, Joe Ga's prediction would already be at a fortune-telling level!

Even the consistently calm Thompson was somewhat influenced, which is why he hinted at having a good talk with the counterpart.

This is the power of media propaganda; not only ordinary people are affected, even those in high positions are not immune.

And perhaps, even those who were paid to write scripts might eventually believe in that rhetoric.

This is the power of media!

To speak fairly, old Bayer, this seasoned politician from the Cold War era, is quite formidable, with almost every operation hitting the mark, accelerating the war vehicle's speed.

As long as Russia falls, the Democratic Party, representing neoliberalism, can re-establish America's position as the world's leader, making Biden's re-election campaign secure, and the future course of America can continue down the neoliberal path.

Why is big-mouthed Donald so hated by many people?

The reason lies in his right-wing approach, his various actions during his term virtually offended all allies...

Looking at the numbers, big-mouthed Donald actually gleaned quite a bit of benefit for America, and he has re-emphasized the importance of America First.

But in reality, Big-Mouthed Donald's approach might take America an important step towards isolationism, potentially disrupting the international order established by the U.S. after World War II.

This order is centered around neoliberalism, which means privatization forming the core, shaping the global financial and real industry order.

And the controllers of this order are the 'rentier class', represented by Wall Street!

As long as this order remains unbroken, the status of the rentier class will remain unshaken!

To some extent, neoliberalism represents 'denationalization'; multinational corporations are the main focus in this theory, and even America is a shell where these multinational companies benefited from the free economy parasitize.

In the past, the establishment faction within the Republican Party had an understanding with the Democratic Party regarding these issues, where both sides could coordinate on major issues, and big-mouthed Donald broke such understandings.

In his concept, capital is also divided into various levels and national boundaries exist; America must hold an advantageous upper hand, and must enjoy the preferential treatment.

Of course, Ansa capital and Jewish capital think so too, but they would never voice it aloud.

Big-mouthed Donald's ugly manner of taking benefits brought some hidden rules to the forefront, shaming a lot of people, while exacerbating internal conflicts in America, making rifts between the two parties irreconcilable.

Previously, when everyone dragged each other's feet, there was still concern about individual images, but now there's no need...

It's now opposition for the sake of opposition; if you say one, I must say two; otherwise, it's disloyalty to the party, a betrayal to the voters.

Negotiating with opponents is necessary, but Joe Ga needs some time to consider how to negotiate specifically...

The more crucial issue at present is this year's American midterm elections...

Every second year after a President of the United States takes office in November, the United States faces very important midterm elections.

The midterm elections determine Congressional seats, which decide who can become the leader of the House of Representatives.

Without a majority in Congress, the powers of the President of the United States are limited.

In this aspect, big-mouthed Donald performed exceedingly well. While in office, he coerced and cajoled to unify the Republican Party's internal voice, and also secured the majority in the House of Representatives.

Unfortunately, then came the pandemic...

Old Bayer being able to tie the House of Representatives to the chariot through the Ukraine war is already an impressive operation.

However, if the Democratic Party he represents cannot win the midterm elections, then every endeavor he wants to undertake in the future will be very challenging.

This is the leverage that Joe Ga holds, and it's also why everyone can afford to be at ease.

Joe Ga, Tom Reed, Steven, Alicia...

They control or indirectly influence nearly 15 seats through a network of relationships, and if the midterm elections go well, the seats could even increase to 17!

When both parties are evenly matched, these dozen or so seats are the deciding factor!

Joe Ga chatted cheerfully with everyone, and finally looked at the jubilant Steven, saying, "Brother, what's the good news?"

Steven, the former Secretary of State, raised his glass to clink with Joe Ga, smiling as he said, "Hu Lang, there has been some progress in the domestic natural gas industry in America, interested in making some investments together?"
