Trump tells Zelensky 'make a deal or we're out' in angry White House meeting
-
It doesn't matter how many nukes Russia has, or how many anti-nuke systems they have. Ukraine only needs to get lucky once. That fear will make Russia back off. It works for North Korea, it can work for Ukraine. The US is unreliable at best and a bunch of lying traitorous scum at worst, so there's no point in relying on them for anything. The ONLY way a country can protect itself from invasion these days is to have a "I'm taking the entire world with me" button.

I don't think I would say non-voters support this.
But they sure as fuck are complicit in not stopping an OBVIOUS threat to democracy by doing the absolute bare minimum civic duty.
-
I'm sure the media played a part.
But fuck. He was so obvious with his racism, with his desire to be a dictator, fuckin everything.
Fuck.
-
I’ve been trying to figure this out for the last 8 years. People here are so fucking stupid and selfish.
-
They are under an obligation to decide what they want to do collectively. If they decide that it was an aggression, then they are under obligation to provide support. It can be exact same"support" that Europe is already providing to Ukraine. That's too say not much of it
-
Man, I want this war over and the US out of it.
But watching our POTUS and VP behave that way on international TV. Even if you support their politics, it's hard for me to understand how all of us are not embarrassed.
I also like that Zelensky didn't just swallow the insults and spoke his peace, because the media is (of course) focusing solely on the preferred Trump narrative.

More like the best choice. If you don't want to be invaded, you need nukes. Any country that had nukes and gets rid of them is just asking to be invaded. Libya got rid of their nukes, got invaded, collapsed. Ukraine got rid of their nukes, got invaded, got abandoned by the US. Canada got rid of their nukes, Trump is talking about annexing the country. I guarantee Trump would be a lot more polite to the Canadians if they had something they could point right at Mar A Lago and go "Invade us at your fucking peril".

Good job GOP. We lost the Cold War.
-
A united EU against today russia? Doubt will last weeks. But we are too afraid.
-
France and the UK are more than capable of maintaining an article 5 nuclear umbrella. If that's all NATO is worth, it's still enough.
-
South Korea and particularly Japan doesn't need help getting nukes. Japan in particular has never been afraid of showing an advanced space program(for icbm technology) and their immense plutonium stockpile. They could assemble ICBMs in a matter of weeks.
-
France is one election away from Marine Le Pen kissing the feet of Putin.
-
It (once again) showed their loyalty to Putin. In their mind, this was a massive success.
-
Do you think this is new information to me? I don't understand what your point is.
-
You're thinking of article 4.
-
They're not even selfish. They're worse off too, just fucked themselves to spite everyone else.
-
The Article 5 wording is vague. It states that an attack against one member “shall be considered an attack against them all.” What is quoted less often is that each member state only has an obligation to take “such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force.”

Wait, really? Imo, JD had that "guy who's been trying to turn a friend into a fuck for three years now" energy for Trump. I'm really surprised anybody saw that as masculine and powerful.
