European leaders throw support behind Zelenskyy after heated Trump meeting
-
a fucking civil war?
Sure, that might work. Oh and that "largest and most advanced military" is made up of those same people who you think are 70% of the population. Maybe see what happens when people actually take some action, instead of just giving up and bitching about it.
-
Yeah sorry I should have mentioned I have no idea, no involvement, I just saw someone else mention it and I'd donated myself. I got a nice email after I donated 'from Zelensky'.
Guess what he said?
Thank you! Lol
-
To "throw support behind" is a common expression. It implies vigour in a way that "mount support" does not, so I think it's a good word choice.
-
I get that their main goal is keeping the proles down, but you'd think there'd be some protection of american hegemony and soft power, it has made a small group of people a lot of money and given them outsized influence of the world.
-
Organize what, a fucking civil war?
Isn't that what all your guns are for? Killing your government, should they become dictatorial?
-
The military skews right. Strongly. That's a big part of the problem.
-
What? Not that I have seen. And even if they did, you think people don't have an issue with this as long as they are "on the right"? You can not out of one side of your mouth say "70% of americans don't want this" and from the other "But there is nothing we can do, they are too many" (I know this was not you but that other dood, but the idea is the same)
-
The military is primarily compromised of poor rural folks. Conservatives outnumber liberals 2 to 1. I'm not sure what direction the other quarter (nonvoters) would break.

Troops see rising political tension in the ranks, poll shows
Please tell us how tensions rise if everyone in the armed forces agree? You also realize this is a poll, and that it also breaks down very different by branches and that is a touch more pressing. Say you have all the marines and army willing to put jackboots on necks but the air force or navy says "no". Hell what happens if just the doods who run the Triad are like super gay and pissed off, this idea that there is no 5th column possible is funny in its absurdity.
-
Oh no, who will destabilize other country?
-
Ooh, maybe all the "rare minerals" were just plain old dirt all along!
-
I think you are at least partially correct. There was Russian media in the room (“unapproved” and escorted out when they were “discovered” — after already live streaming the juicy bits back home ). Trump turned to reporters at one point saying “you see how much hate he has for Putin. It makes it very hard for me to negotiate” (from memory).
-
Russia, probably.
-
No matter how this shakes. The damage is done. No matter what happens going forward nobody can or should trust the US to be a reliable partner in any way. Not economically or militarily because we're psychotic. Nationally bipolar. You might get a stable trustworthy partner in one election only to get an insane wannabe dictator in 4 years time who flips the table and burns all the bridges. You can't trust us with anything on a longer timeline than 2-4 years. And that is the surest path to international irrelevancy.
This will be "The Moment" spoken about in history books where US Hegemony collapsed. Count on it. Because no matter what happens. This is the new paradigm. We cannot be trusted.

CIA and America as a whole are no longer a viable way for that small group of people to get a lot of money. What you're seeing is the MIC divesting from America to a more productive country, like Ukraine or China.
-
These Americans can't use their 2nd ammendment rights to defend themselves and suddenly that's now other countries problem? No thank you, let Americans clean up their own mess. They can either work on their own country or apply for asylum like every other refugee, so long as they're triaged long after the countless millions of refugees displaced by Americans.
-
The only reason Europe refrained from being a weapons powerhouse was part of our ally with America after WW2 was that they would do it and profit. Now Europe can be like "
Oh well, guess we'll be the MIC now" and shady weapons dealers will be like "Sorry America, better business elsewhere where they don't skimp on materials and safety inspection." Also people don't remember just how much more dependent America is on the rest of the world than anyone is dependent on America. Putin is glad not because he's gonna win Ukraine, but he managed to hop over Europe entirely and headshot America successfully. I think Putin could die happy of his mysterious health problems knowing he successfully carried Russia to victory vs the USA. -
European leaders should have a summit in the oval office to sign an agreement to protect Ukraine. Each leader should bring their own ceremonial pen with which to sign the agreement. The summit should be on 15th March.
What is SS gonna do, shoot all the leaders of western europe?
-
Hungary is definitely not going to be part of NATO2

You have to really drink the kool-aid to believe that shit. If the weapons they allowed us to keep were a threat to anything other than soft targets and school children they wouldn't let us keep them
