"We cannot overstate what has just happened. It took just 71 days for Donald Trump to wreck the American economy, mortally wound NATO, and destroy the American-led world order"

However don’t forget that this catastrophy is what MAGA wanted: an explosion of hate and destruction.
The demolition of the state and of the economy is the ultimate revenge of all the victims of neo liberalism.
America won't.
Trump doesn't have the cards.
His calculation is based on the notion that the world needs America more than America needs the world.
He, and many in the USA, are about to find out that is a false assumption.
Everything he touches turns to crap
China is the ultimate winner in this.
The brain drain is already occurring.
All with not a soul ever being charged, or held accountable, in any way, shape, or form.
18 USC Ch. 115: TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES
It takes a special kind of skill to do all that in that short time
Satanic stupidity
Finally putting the blame where it fucking belongs.
On the voters.
I dearly hope that the people of other democratic countries take the US as a deterrent example and vote accordingly. Not sure, however, how high chances are...
That's what happenes when Putin's GOP helps put a Russian Asset in the WH!
Guess more should've listened:
When the British Empire ended, there was a question who to align with: US or Europe. We eventually joined Europe but we copied a lot of US politics.
Brexit was for those who disagreed.
Brexit and Trump are the same project. Brexit was the pilot, Trump was the main event.
You always said the threat would come from within.
The cult is real.
We are witnessing the fall of America in real time. Are pple convinced yet, no? Okay wait till we are really in a corner we can’t maneuver out of!
It was, thus, no surprise that once populism & its bag of tricks wooed the masses that not only would they get their favorite toys, but their enemies would lose theirs, that victory had defeated them.
Humanity should currently be fighting the war on climate change, not the war against authoritarianism.
“Driven by greed, ignorant of their connectedness to the whole, humans persist in behavior that, if continued unchecked, can only result in their own destruction”.

How many times did he diss NATO?
How many times has he said how terrible Europe is?
MAGA knew, we ALL KNEW, and MAGA said,
"Yeah, gimme somma dat."
His objective is a good US economy. It actually is just self aggrandizement
Anyone who says they're surprised either wasn't paying attention, is stupid, or is lying.

We speak bc we SEE THE TRUTH & don't fear confronting it.
(Can't tell you how many times I heard that.)
It's coming to an end.
The pie won't grow as much, or shrink, competition for a slice will be tougher.
Major bumps this year and coming ones.
And your kids & grand kids will have it a lot harder.
The United States of America's fall was it own decision.
Decay had started, and now it'll speed up.
Some will still have a good life, but you'll have to struggle a lot more to gain it and keep it.
And naturally, most will still look for the same, or new, boogeyman to blame.
It'll only speed the decay.
Fighting for a slice of a smaller pie will increase corruption and what people will be ready to do for their piece of pie.
But wealth will be even more polarized than it is now.
With a party threatening companies & laws, who will want to invest there and risk losing it all unless you support the right people.
In that sense, the US be more like Russia.

Trump administration lifts sanctions on wife of Putin ally Boris Rotenberg https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/03/trump-treasury-sanctions-putin-russia-rotenberg-ukraine.html?__source=iosappshare%7Ccom.apple.UIKit.activity.CopyToPasteboard
The four things that have always worked together to harm the “United” States.
Looks like they finally won.
A national political divorce solves all kinds of problems.
I remember when I was 11, about 1/3 of my neighbors thought black people shouldn't go to school with us.
That is what swayed them. Casual accepted racism.
They could not give a flying fuck about the world order, but will bear that financial burden. FAFO
I especially appreciated the long descriptive string of Administration incompetencies; I'll include a screenshot from the piece here.
There needs to he a serious movement to impeach and remove him, and/or to get 3% of the populace on the streets and force a resignation.
Read about it, sign the strike card, pass it on (on all your socials, word-of-mouth, everywhere!).

Europe fills in when Tя☭mp throws Ukraine under the bus — have America become the suicide bomber to world finance.
The Republicans are a zombie political party Americans should flee from.
Russia, Russia, Russia.
Question comes:
Will he use the increasing chaos to destroy US democracy as well?
So, yeah, American Brexit is following the path and the destruction US democracy is next in line.
These things don't just magically go away again. The new US regime is quickly consolidating power.
Who or what do you think has the power to challenge them in 2, 4, or 10 years?
Either the dem's manage to challenge them now, split up some true conservatives and win in 2 and 4y, or they will rule for a long, long time
With new voting rules, you'll need a massive majority to win, though.
And since people are already disappearing within just 2 months, those politicians should probably stay away from windows and law enforcement until then.
Now let us go back (which sadly we can’t just go back to how things were because it’s easier to break things than build things)
Russian Agent: Krasnov
You don’t need a complicated chart to see how ignorant and small they are.
The confluence of both his demonstrated ties to the Kremlin, and his actions being so heavily aligned with Russian interests, is very obvious.
Russian Agents
“Democrats so destroyed the core of the country that everything fell apart less than three months after they left power. The idea that Trump could collapse the country in a few weeks is absurd.”
Never underestimate the ability of people to lie to themselves if it keeps their minds unchanged.
"And just like that, the age of American empire, the great Pax Americana, ended."
He doesn't care.
The American age is over. And it ended because the American people were no longer worthy of it."
But the really frightening thing is, apart from the short time scale: political mechanisms and processes are similar.
America must have been such a fragile place if it was so easy to dismantle, take apart, and serve up to the rich new overlords without firing a single gunshot.
Our Lords' and masters' decided differently this time.
A large portion of the US population supports this agenda or doesn't care/dare to do anything to prevent it. So it happens.
Buyer Beware... Elbows Up Canada...
Slava Ukraine...
Great read.
