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

Honey, you're a one hour old account with nothing but horribly bad takes on everything.
Good luck

They can kill the filibuster at any time.
Also this is assuming that anything Congress does will mean anythibg.

I'm not trying to be glib, but read this. You don't fix big, systemic problems by working only within the system.

He's reinstating corrupt officials. He's piling in sycophants into every corner of the government. He's declaring he alone has the ability to interpret laws. He's killing major federal departments. He's ignoring policy. He's ignoring court orders. He's literally calling himself a king.
We are way, way beyond "firing civil servants", and it is just going to get worse.
I don't think he will amend the constitution. I think at the moment it doesn't matter and it will be ignored. We are now actively in the greatest constitutional crisis in American history.
Understand that the shit has gotten very, very real. All this other stuff that we've counted on all our lives is gone unless something massive happens REALLY SOON.
-
Great way to get your country and allies nuked, however.
-
I can tell you don't follow politics or the news if you think they need to "overtake" us when the elected president is capitulating to their every desire while half the voting population cheers it on.
-
What desires are being capitulated? I legitimately don’t know any American who is a ‘fan of Russia’ but I can’t even say what Russia wants, much less find it in the current movements. Can you list a top 5 list of wants that’s more detailed than ‘overtake __, rule ___.’ It looks like Trump is doing what he wants and playing sales games.
-
can you be more specific
