Would I prefer to live in a world where we don‘t need to spend a penny on Defence? Yes. Do I think I live in such a world? No. There is a dictator in the Kremlin attacking the Post-war security order in all of Europe, and the US President just blew up the Western Alliance.

Quite apart from anything else about this plan, who the fuck would want to go to Trump's American dystopia?

Maybe it's neither blackmail nor money - maybe Trump, too scared to accept the draft, is now frightened that he'll fall out of a window bylinetimes.com/2025/02/28/f...

He doesn't want to upset his owner. Him and Trump, two cheeks of Putin's arse. Whether bought or blackmailed, they are both traitors to their nations.

That's how they view themselves, even with tripartite control of the US government; they're the underdogs, fighting for a revolution. That's why they have to invent things like the Deep State or Secret Masters or fucking whoever, because they can't cope with being in charge AND things aren't fixed.
