Trump tells Zelensky 'make a deal or we're out' in angry White House meeting
-
That is the kind of escalation nobody will survive.
So Ukraine builds a nuke. Maybe a few nukes, even. How many more nukes do you think Russia has? How many active anti-nuke systems do you think Russia has? Do you truly believe Ukraine having nukes will somehow deter Russia, or wouldn't think that Russia would consider that an excuse to do even more damage?

He didn't get 50% of the vote.
He won be cause either 6 million people didn't vote or, to quote Trump, "[Elon] knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide."

A man who, by the way, was fully supported by every single democratic senator.

I mean I understand that Zelensky is desperate and doing whatever is necessary to ensure the fair survival of his country.
But the UK is getting in line to kiss his dihheriacious ass, only to get humiliated by this fucking high school bully? Have some spine you fucking cowards. But I guess they meet in the common factor of genocide so they never will.

You do realize that article 5 does not mean that other countries have to join the war, right? They can choose to or they can choose not to. Even if they choose to get involved, it can be in for of economic support. And even if they choose to declare war, out can be in form of loud words. So I expect Poland would be on it's own.

Watched it, my takes: Trump is definitly the lets make an offer he can't refuse type of negociator. I am thinking that the last week's visits have been hard on their ego. I suspect there is an agreement between european leaders to not let them get away with lies and bullshit when in person, even in the oval office. And it seems to be working, Vance respect comment make them look real fricking weak.

If as many people who turned up to vote would turn up to protest, things would change. Alas, liberals who think filling out the ballot is enough democracy for 4 years are not friends of democracy.

The respect comment took me back to his donut comments. The couchfucker is a charisma void.
-
They basically handed one of the strongest countries in the world to a very typical college bully and his lackies.
-
He was supposed to be the "adult" in the room. They all fear Trump... For some reason, I don't get it.
-
Zelensky is the strongest man in the world to be able to hold himself back from attacking these ass holes.
-
Almost nobody using Lemmy voted for him.
-
trump is a good punishment for power-hungry politicians, too bad that it is at everyone else's expense.

I'm an American and I'm upvoting this. After 2016, I thought that there were some misguided people who didn't realize what they were doing, but that the first Trump term would push the pendulum hard the other direction. I felt a little validated when Biden won in 2020, but it wasn't as one sided as I'd hoped. But Trump winning decisively in 2024 tells me that everyone knew and did it anyway. People are getting what they want: rampant racism, sexism, and global bullying.
So yes, we suck, and no one should trust us as a country, regardless of the fact that there are many of us who knew how catastrophic another Trump term would be.

The "respect" and "you should be thankful" comments reminded me of that old (I think Tumblr) post:
Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority".
and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me, I won't respect you" and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority, I won't treat you like a person."
and they think they're being fair, but they aren't, and it's not okay.

Putin is going to make a hard move into the baltics during Trump’s first 2 years, including NATO countries. And Europe won’t be able to do shit about it. They need defenses now and European leadership needs to fast track it.
-
Trump's body looks about 50 years too young in this.

The whole thing felt like an embodiment of this meme:

I mean, it would have certainly resulted in him being shot on the spot. The Secret Service would shoot anyone .
