America has to do that too. for all their vaunted claims to great fortunes, Trump, Musk and Putin are desperate for money. Their 'fake it till you make it' stance is cracking. That's why they want the US treasury and an unbounded debt. That will be our debt, not theirs. What they deserve is prison.
Dear friends, I urgently need your help. As a paraplegic, getting around in the winter has been a daily challenge. An enclosed mobility scooter would change my life, giving me independence and freedom. Please support by donating or sharing my GoFundmeMe. Every bit counts thanks🙏✨ https://gofund.me/0af928df
it’s going to be more like freeze the US out. we are no longer a reliable partner. that will take decades to rebuild, long after TFG is gone. i hope the european countries come thru for ukraine
Europe should hire ex real US officials and officers to help them build an armed forces against trumps regime as long as it breathes, extinguish it.
Never expected this from my veteran self.
Every world leader needs to respond to anything coming from Trump with "That's nice" and move on. Stop treating him like an equal or even a threat. America has lost its dignity and with its entire government in disarray they are no longer a player on the world stage.
If your Congressperson is Republican, call that person at (202) 224-3121 They don't know your desires until you tell them. They are incompetent enough without you. Make them competent with you.
Mine Rep is Marjorie Taylor Greene. She doesn’t give a shit what any of her constituents desire.
Thank goodness I have great Senators, Warnock & Ossoff!
The correct response to a narcissist is no contact. So exactly, freeze him out. Zero attention. Let the rest of the world band together. This boyfriend is toxic waste.
Join this guy! Boycott Tesla Worldwide, stop building and close down all charging stations. Germany should close down Tesla plant in Berlin. This is how you hurt a egotistical Nazi billionaire. Dump the stock movement! https://youtu.be/Yn_gq5GcRqY?si=QjIHkJ4pilShdnLS
Yes, cut all diplomatic ties with the US. Recall all diplomats and bar American diplomats as traitors to democracy. Force him to next attack the UN and show the world, MAINLY Americans, he is a dictator. Please, World, help us topple him.
YES. At this time Europe need to look out for one another, including Ukraine. Fuck tRUMP! Call his bluff every step of the way. He is a coward, and will always, always back down.
Problem with motive is that its not to end the war and stop the killing - its about getting revenge on trump. Who cares - stop the war. We are so cold to death
No one remembers history. The major reason for US involvement in NATO, and becoming a world power was to prevent Europe from rearming.
This is dangerous.
That was 1949 - drones werent invented and technology has changed warfare. Putin is weak right now and if europe got some balls he would capitulate. He ain’t attacking anyone. The ruble is worthless. His kingdom is collapsing while europe picks its nose so worried about helping out everyone else
Funny thing, we didn't have that technology in 1916, either.
And yet, a bunch of aging, weak, and self-important monarchs faced with failing economies and consumed with the concept of reclaiming land what wasn't theirs any more were still able to cause alot of havoc.
Trump is one person. The US is not so big & strong that it is untouchable
And one thing we know about the alt-right, is thar when things don't go their way, they turn on each other. They'll only support each other if its helpful to them personally.
If there were only more Republicans like Adam, the U.S. would be a much better place! Extremely sad how they all caved! Hopefully in 2 years they all get voted out of office! Spineless Losers!
Ukraine + Europe is stronger than Russia, they don’t need the U.S. and will score a major strategic victory if they just crush Putin without help from the U.S.
Yep. The longer he's in power, the better I like him. I mean, he's still a yankee pig, so he deserves a slow, painful death, but I appreciate all the damage he's doing to the u.s. in the meantime. Death to america.
I beg to disagree about America. The projection of American power globally in conjunction with its values of democracy, civil rights, free trade etc. has been good for the world in general. It's catastrophic mistakes and occasional arrogance set aside, I feel we owe a lot to America
There's nothing of value, besides music and literature, that ever came from america. They've always been a force for murder and oppression, both at home and around the world. Too bad you fell for the yankee propaganda of fake democracy and civil "rights". We owe america nothing but death.
I appreciate the perspective but I feel it's a bit categorical. There is some truth to it, granted, but it ignores some aspects that deserve respect. You should save your contempt for countries like Russia that undividedly deserves your characterization
I prefer Russia to the u.s. They've been responsible for fewer atrocities, and they treat their population better than the u.s. does. They aren't the ones who have the largest per capita incarceration rate (and hence, slave population) in history. You're brainwashed by american lies.
My take on it, too. Europe will have to sacrifice a bit and build a mass of weapon for Ukraine and reinforce the Europe border. Then tell the yellow peesss stain and his trolls 🧌 to fuck off.
Europe needs to realize that Trump stole the 2024 election and that he is not the legitimate President of the U.S. The nations of Europe should not recognize the illegal Trump junta.
For the nations of Europe to assert that openly would be very dangerous, even though I guess all our governments know it to be true. The best strategy now is to smile meekly while quickly building military capacity and command structures.
To not acknowledge the illegitimacy of the Trump/Musk gang would make the European leaders complicit in Trumps criminality. To make agreements with known criminals is guilt by association.
In principle I agree, but in practice this would be suicidal. We are talking about a dangerous, heavily armed enemy with serious psychological problems.
You are correct about everything you say, however, the members of our military are obligated to refuse to obey an illegal order. It is to be hoped that the leaders of our military see Trump for what he is. If Trump ordered them to attack our NATO allies, they would refuse.
Not if it kills Billions of people. Stealth and covert strategy with real allies is critical right now, unless you think jumping into WWIII with the US, Russia, India, North Korea, and China without any preparation is a cake walk. The US, India and China have the 3 largest military's in the world.
I doubt Europe will do that, because nationalism is still too strong in many European countries, and most leaders think it's not in their personal interest. If it did really want, Europe could be a force competing with China or the US and easily confronting Russia. But I fear it will not.
I agree. Europe made itself unimportant in these negotiations by not carrying their fair share of their own defense from Russia aggression. Now only Poland and France are in a position to support Ukraine at the table. Germany, Italy, and Britain are particularly behind in weapons spending.
You obviously have no idea who did what. Germany is the second largest supporter of Ukraine after he US. Not France. Poland did take the most Ukrainian refugees, followed by Germany. We don’t need an 🍊 turd play acting negotiationg with Russia while secretly divvying the country up between the 2.
I encourage you to go to the Ukraine Support Tracker and scroll to the support-by-GDP map.
Scandinavia, Poland, and the Baltic states are the ones stepping up (NB:geography)
I did get support levels from UK & France crossed in my head (tho Macron talks a good game). US is tops, but not for long 😕
Trump has ensured that the rest of the world develops diplomatic and business ties with anyone other than the US, even China would see that commercial success is better than political gains. In the case of China it would allow them to say fuck you to Trump. The world can then breath freely.
I think that's unfair to Chamberlain. He wasn't a traitor, simply an out-of-his-depth politician who was trying to prevent a war. Hegseth is more of a Quisling.
Truth!! I heard today that one leader made a point to say that they need a Europe wide army including Ukraine to stand against Putin because the United States is abdicating its long time role as back up. So hopefully they will do that defeat Putin and ignore the puppet in the White House..
Absolutely. You cannot have convicted rapist, women abuser, felon doing peace deals. The man has the morals of an ally 🐈⬛. Sorry cat lovers. But I think you get my jist
This is what a real Patriot sounds like. He left Congress because his newborn baby was threatened by Trumper's. He served his country in the military and then he served his country in Congress. He was part of the January 6th committee. Now, he leads us by telling the truth.
Right and he knows how the levels of Congress works and his hands not tied . So I guess what I’m saying is I will be reading and listening a little more about what he’s saying
This is what I was thinking. European countries should ban Trump, Vance and Musk from even landing there. It does them zero good interacting with our current administration.
Trump, and any politician from the United States can be banned or removed from a sovereign state and have their diplomatic immunity revoked as a “persona non grata,” as is stated in the Vienna Convention of Diplomatic Relations. They do not have to give an explanation as this is their right.
We got zero chance in hell. Only the US can save the US. And remember you got evangelical Christians with nukes, and you are the only country in the World who has used them. The rest of us want peace, but I guess it is up to the rest of NATO to support Ukraine now that the US is pro Russia.
Not 70%. Trump “won” only 49% of the people that voted, which was roughly 60% of the eligible voters. So he “won” only 30%. And I say “won” in quotes because I truly believe the election vote totals were manipulated in Trump’s favor.
This analysis is interesting but doesn't change the fact that to solve this problem people are going to have to do more than post their thoughts. Unless you act to change this you are complicit in the coup. #trump
however, I agree with everything else you said. No one should rely on the US government for anything for a long, long time. If ever. Its citizens included.
That's a terrible misstatement. 30% of Americans voted for Trump. 30% voted Harris. The rest didn't vote. It's horrible, terrible, and bad enough at that rate, but you've more than doubled it in your version.
This is the MAGA conundrum. An authoritarian who seeks to insulate and isolate America, while craving the attention of the world stage. A man who mainlines capitalism, and yet provides no resources with which anything could be achieved. A deal maker who has no interest in the quality of outcomes.
I don't know how I feel about this man since he is trying to tell Canadians that Trumps threats of annexation are not true.
So,it's not ok when Russia invades a country but when your own pres threatens a country it's not real?
I'm confused by the logic. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/adam-kinzinger-trump-annexation-1.7459878
The convicted felon has totally lost it. He is only important in his bald head where the effects of narcissism and dementia are raging. This former guy is living in subsidised federal housing but desperately needs to be incarcerated in a Federal prison or Federal nursing home for the insane.
Except for those who depend upon a government social safety net in order to "get on with their lives". They are in big trouble unless we take active steps to protect them.
Thing is, just like Americans and Dems still think “it can’t really be that bad, they won’t do xyz”, (until they do THST, too!) do Europeans still believe the US will wake up and come back being the ally and friend they used to trust. Denial can be an insurmountable force.
Not sure who you’ve been talking to but in my convos w EU friends, co-workers & family-they hope we recover from 47 but are decidedly anti American atp
We elected a proven liar, why would they support us?
They’ll not welcome us back w open arms this time.
I have a lot of family & friends in Germany. The populace is mainly anti-Trump but politicians r still in denial of the break-up bc believing would mean they’d have to drastically alter their stance towards a frmr important ally, their defense budget & the EU debt ceiling & poss. fear the frmr ally
But they do. They also fear losing the protection of the main super power as far as nukes are concerned. Look at the military might of the US & compare it to Europe. That should give you the answers on why they are not as independent as you seem to think. They are not powerless, but too close to it.
They also need to ignore, or (even better) violate the HELL out of all phony "deals" Trump makes with Putin. The way for the Ukraine war to end is for Putin to get the fuck out and stay out. he gets NOTHING but destruction.
That would be great in a way, but probably push Trump further to Putin. I reckon Trump will end up being a near neighbour to Assad in the not too distant future. America will rise up. All those sacked people unemployed food, education health crises. He'll be accountable.
And start sending long range missiles into strategic targets throughout Russia. Targets designed to damage Russia’s military capability, economic sustainability, and sense of security.
Nobody but the US, and the US armed forces can save America. The rest of the World had not gotten an armed forces five to ten times the necessary size post the cold war. The US simply has no other natural military enemy except itself. We can gang up on you but then again we are busy with Russia.
Canada needs to join the EU. United we can bring peace to our world. United we can safeguard against economic threats. United we can be people of the world that care for people of the world. I will always ❤️🇨🇦 forever. Peace ☮️
I think you would be more than welcome! We have a great deal in common. Whenever I visit Canada (most recently in June last year) I'm struck by how it feels like a nice, normal country, without any of the strange vibes you get from America.
Interestingly, years back Canada and Europe signed a joint trade pact, CETA. I believe we're one of the few countries to have preferred access to the European market. Trade with Europe, although much less than with the US, has doubled.

His greatest fear would be irrelevancy.
Ok, so we have nothing to talk about anymore.
Bye.
Let's see which leader makes this happen
Thank goodness I have great Senators, Warnock & Ossoff!
And DIS-INVITE Pete Dumbass Hegseth and JV Dunce from EVERY event EVERYWHERE.
He’s not wrong

Stef agrees!
and could not agree more!
Vive la France! 🇫🇷
Freezing the 🇺🇸 out is the only way for the future.
We can't and shouldn't rely on a nation, who doesn't care about the world outside.
70% of Americans voted or enabled this the 2nd tine in 9 yrs..
Thank you, but "no thank you" anymore
With such an ally you don't need enemies anymore
It's just flat out wrong...
Facts matter...
But if ppl prefer to lie at themselves... Then it's a perfect explanation
Think twice..
Take the 2 most strong democratic states ..
2.5 mill ppl voted less than 2020, in this 2 states..
Coincidence ?
Or a pattern .....?
(Which I've answered already the same thing like you wrote...)
https://bsky.app/profile/betelgeuselxvi.bsky.social/post/3li7grxt2t22t
I explained it twice...
But, that's asking too much !!!!
Really ?
77 mill Trump
75 mill Kamala
100 mill nonvoters, who "enabled" this
And that's exactly the fact...
They knew, what was on the line.
P 2025 was not a joke
And now it's being executed page by page
And I wrote exactly this...

We are viewed as enemies of democracy.
Don’t think EU leaders have blinders on bc reality of US is mind blowing, altho that sentiment exists here
It seems beyond our keen to recognize the death of democracy here bc we never experienced it before.
That’s some Putinesque thinking that we are this unbeatable super power that holds sway over the world.
We once held moral sway but that’s now gone
We will have trouble w being the shithole country Trump called others 😳
However, an armed Europe scares me. If the EU fractures, and it will when the afD comes into power, it's a World War with the US on the wrong side.
Fill in your own European objections.
