Trump calls Zelenskyy a ‘dictator’ as US rift with Ukraine deepens

A piece of paper means nothing if people with guns disregard it.

You clearly aren’t Mexican if you think Mexico would join forces with Canada before America lol

Chinas economy is crumbling as the youngest generation refuses to start after a historic flood season. Considering the new tariffs which eliminates Chinas ‘cheap labor’ sales tactic, China is expected to struggle throughout trumps presidency.

I'm sorry, but that's absolutely patently false information.

I can tell you don’t work for the government because only someone uninformed would legitimately think there are enough Russians on earth to overtake 330 million Americans.

Willing to put your money where your mouth is? Texas would have broken off decades ago if it was a feasible idea.

Get organized. Join local groups. Print flyers. Protest. It's how people have been doing it for hundreds of years.

Trump can act this brash because Europe is nearly defenseless. Just considering the land mass and population sizes, there is no competition. But then consider that Europe isn’t as coordinated as America, there is room for reduced performance in war. But the biggest factor is that Europe has no defense money. They have relied on America to save them for over a century and the consequences are: Europe can’t intervene with them Trump Putin talks because they didn’t earn a seat at the table.

Honey, America doesn’t have battle tanks because they are outdated. Carrying ppl into war via vehicles is some 1940s war behavior. Modern war is focused on subs, planes, and targeted missiles. Less waste, less civilian death, more precise. Unlike Europe, America has enough war experience to learn what works best. America is sending their outdated handmidown tanks, not a B83.

There's more guns than people in this country. Picking up a gun to disregard paper is a very dangerous game.

I hope most Europeans don’t think like this because it would take long at all for America to decimate Europe. There are several simulations across decades to plan for these scenarios. Who would stop America? Not India, China or Russia (assuming Russia follows history and doesn’t unite with Europe). Canada could try but they are one of the weakest countries in the planet nearly totally dependent on America with 3/4 of Canadian exports being bought by Americans. America has played nice for decades and I guess everyone forgot why America keeps getting involved in wars; because we tend to win wars.
-
With the ego of the average European, I don’t think Europe could ever lose in the court of public opinion. Too white, too much history, too much wealth. Maybe if South America can come up properly or South Africa continues to be a destination, but America is predisposed to be a public opinion loser after decades of controlling western media, being the global police, and providing rights to people when other countries refused to provide those rights. While all of those things are beneficial and can be good, Europe is fundamentally not the leader of global freedom. They are the leader of Western culture, not freedom. Western culture is very popular but freedom isn’t always popular.
-
America is so split, I think we’d see a red America (allied with Russia and/or China) and a blue America (allied with Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia) fighting itself. There would be defections, sabotage, and theft of all American military stuff.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I would hope there’s enough good people in the military or former military with connections that would fight any alliance with Russia.
-
The lack of economic and political agility in Europe is a big reason much of Europe is 2nd world, and why Europe won’t return to its previous state of popularity for at least another 100 years.
-
Do you think the global militaries haven’t spend a considerable amount of time strategizing possible war scenarios? If every country on earth had no strategic planning, then perhaps it would evolve into some wars within each country. But many countries have been running simulations for the scenarios since before electricity.
-
I’m with Adderbox on this. I think there are too many people within the gov or military that would not just up and join Russia. There would be dissent and sabotage, perhaps even a civil war here before America would just straight up join Russia.
-
America looks divided on the global stage but I’ve never met an American IRL who vocalized a want to become Russian. It’s a ‘Russian mail order bride’ because most Americans don’t want to be Russian.
-
The only ppl who believe that are engaging in radical politics. That’s you! Even in the most blue state, there are red areas. Even in California, there are red counties. America is not so divided that red voters in New York would love to Russia. If you think it is that divided, then maybe you are part of the people creating the division.
-
Nah man. I agree with you.
I’m only saying hypothetically, if America were to ally and there was no way to come to a unified decision internally then you would likely see a division. I’m not saying that I think it would literally happen at all. I really don’t think it would. I’m an American in my 40s and Russia has always been the big bad boogie man you don’t want to become.
