Trump’s US doesn’t just think Europe is obsolete – it wants to see it dead
-
Summary
The "Signalgate" scandal confirms the Trump administration's deep disdain for Europe, viewing it not just as obsolete but actively wanting its demise.
There are 3 major implications: an inevitable trade war where Europe must unite; continued US pressure on Greenland despite European pushback; and Europe needing to support Ukraine not just without US help, but potentially against US interests.
European leaders who stand firm against US bullying are seeing rising approval ratings.
Europe should "with firmness, courage and politeness" chart its own path forward.

This is why "living in interesting times" is a curse. Give me the boring decades where nothing happens.

Yeah that was always meant as a curse

It's the south, they hate that the coasts respect Europe more, and that it's generally atheist (atheist in their mind means anything outside of evangelical southern baptists, ie the true religion).

A couple issues.
The Signal chat didn't show that anyone wanted Europe dead. Agree or not, it showed that the administration wants Europe to be responsible for their own military interests (As though the US received nothing from being the security for the West over the past 75 years.)
If they want to see Europe destroyed, those receipts have to come from elsewhere.
Secondly, helping Ukraine is in everyone's interest except for Trump and the GOP. Stopping the stupid fucking tariffs is in America's interests. Trump succumbing to his age is in America's interests.
Don't confuse America's interests with those of the people who want to destroy and weaken America. Other than that, the point is correct. Europe needs to be much more active in Ukraine, even if the US administration may object.

TBF, they want everyone dead.

That's because Trump's US is actually Putin's US. And Putin wants Europe weak and malleable.

Same reason they hate Canada.

But Europe has the literal Vatican! That's where the religion comes from!

Oh my sweet summer child, you just opened the door to madness.
Southern baptists don't...they don't consider catholics to be Christians.
Not 'catholics aren't real Christians' or 'catholics are heretics', they're not Christian at all, they're like Mormons or Muslims.
I have never managed to understand it, and I had a few SBC try to explain it to me, their attitude is just that it's not real Christianity like protestantism, it's something else, something alien.
This is why Irish and Italians weren't considered white for a long time too, only really white people can be Christian, because of the curse of Ham. Black people like Obama are straight Muslim, full stop.
Feel free to go down this rabbit hole, it won't get you anywhere good, and the sbc has been trying to quietly backpedal as best they can, but it's still really popular among the smaller congregations, at least the ones I met.

US as a security of the west is like running next to a bull to stay safe (better not wear anything red). They were never protecting other nations, but rather their business interests/opportunities.
Look at the last example of "protection" deal. "Sign over minerals."; "And then you will protect us, right?"; "You do not hold the cards.".. It's more like finding an exploit, labeling terrorists/freedom fighters, deploying troops ("Say thank you troops"), kill anyone resisting the deal -- profit. -

The difference these last few months has been the lack of any restraint when talking about it, because of the incredibly low IQ of people in charge rn. When did US ever engage in war without securing wealth or land? Selfless defence is not even on the list of general reasons for war. Number one is economic gain. It's always a defence contract or straight up looting. When all you have is a hammer..

But of course. Democratic countries doing very well with policies far more socialist than would be politically expedient for the US? Can't have that.

Which makes it extra ironic the so-called White House faith office is pulling shit like selling $1,000 Easter miracles.
That’s practically the old Catholic indulgences and those were literally one of the reasons for the great schism; that kind of shit is why Protestants exist to begin with THAT’S WHAT THEY WERE PROTESTING
They have so utterly and comprehensively lost the plot and betrayed everything they claimed to stand for

This is capitalism. There are no "allies" in the race to destroy the planet.
