Elonald is about to find out what it’s like to be on the outside looking in. Kinda like when Trump shows up in Manhattan. Those that pledge allegiance to Captain Bone Spur are about to feel what it’s like being isolated.
By “combative comments”, maybe you mean “straight insults and interference”? And of course it’s the Europeans who are “adding to friction”?, while it’s clearly a U.S. willful move.
Golden Age of Trolling. Saying the far-right defends Western Civilization is like saying the Taliban or Hamas protect Islam - from the ruins and wreckage. #GOP is an intellectually and morally bankrupt party of trolls! Chief troll #ElonMusk needs retreat to the Betty Ford Clinic out of public view.
Trump’s is exploiting the concept of freedom of speech by advocating for total deregulation, with the goal of creating an environment where misinformation and their propaganda can thrive under the guise of free debate. And it’s accelerating with Associated Press being banned from Oval Office
I am absolutely furious that we have broken our ties with Europe, I would rather we were more closely aligned with Europe than America at this time. Europe being a far more stable entity.
Standard Trump administration behavior. Embrace all of America's foes & debase America's long-time allies. He can't govern. He was a bust the 1st time, true? Left the economy in the toilet. The USA, surrounded by friends, is stronger. Trump's pro-autocratic instincts are anti-American, right?
With friends like Vance and Trump, who need enemies. Putin has these two by the cajoolies and they are packing the lies to the ceiling to break European democracy and liberty.
JD Vance's speech at the Munich Security Conference made the US VP look like a fool. Zelensky's speech positions the Ukrainian president as the moral leader of Europe.
Don't soothe yourself with these lies that can't bind. Zelensky despite the lip service on the West democratic principles finding their footing in his regime, he suspended elections citing the war as the scapegoat therefore allegations of illegitimacy...
How could elections be done when so many Ukrainians have been dislocated and so many Russians have been actively ‘Russifying’ the occupied territories of east Ukraine. No way a trustworthy election could take place.
They took his words like men. Vance talked about the choices a government must make in acknowledging the people’s will and voices—Vance made his point without admitting that SOME voices utter unspeakable evil and must be silenced immediately
He might as well have gave a speech talking about doing his own research and telling everyone to wake the fuck up.
The USA is being dragged into a post truth era by a group of cynical despots that have realised if 50% are below average intelligence, that's the easiest vote to win.
Apparently, Olaf does not appreciate a hillbilly making Europe squeal like a pig (thanks to @euractiv.com for the colorful metaphor taken from the 1972 movie "Deliverance" scene where a city dweller is tied to a tree and raped by northern Georgia mountain men).
Vance does realise we all see what goes on in the US? Another useful idiot no doubt reading from a script provided to him by Stephen (Goebbels) Miller. We need to unite and cut all ties with this clown show.
I apologize for the stupidity of the new American government. We have our own crisis. Trump and his entire administration are unpatriotic liars and thieves. Yes we must unite against the Russian rule and destroy the unholy alliance!
Time to dump America and cast it aside like it wants to. “America first” will cost them billions more than the peanuts they are trying to claw back by cutting agencies.
What an absolutely trash take, Bloomberg. America showed it's complete ass with that buffoon speaking. How dare he threaten our allies! What an absolutely awful thing to sanewash. If WW3 happens it's because papers like you carried the water for it.

The USA will be like Mega City One in 2000AD

US is the enemy within NATO:
stays only for its lucrative contracts
US troops to leave EU:
they are a threat, they could follow a fascist order from Trump to “restore order” in Europe
US is now a EU enemy:
Like Putin… so US troops must leave EU

Let's hope the EU can learn from Ukraine and stop being so naive. Considering an enemy as ally is the worst mistake one can make.
Stay strong Europe. Slava Ukraini.
Besides being a corrupt traitor.
Even our traitors are stupid.
Those who come to seek justice should do so with clean hands.
Hi. Regular person here. Um, WHY are you still holding hands with the USA? They need you way more than you need them.
Grow a pair of balls. Stop playing games with a Fascist and a Nazi.
