Trump calls Zelenskyy a ‘dictator’ as US rift with Ukraine deepens
-
Is it? There have barely been any protests on the streets. People are infinitely far away from violently rising up against this regime.

I admire your baseless optimism.

Well, Zelenskyy does fit the definition of a dictator in that he cannot be replaced in office. Does that make him one? Not really, it’s a weird war time law. But no one else but him is allowed to fix the problem for Ukraine. Russia has funded both political parties in America because the goal is to destabilize America. They did a great job at it! If Russia had the choice between pushing America into its own self destruction vs exploiting the relationship for a benefit, Russia will choose option 2 because it’s cheaper, easier with less complications. Sorry, I do not believe that Putin is the secret president of America. That sounds irrational and I can’t find a single fact online to support the claim. The world can see that Biden had political ties Ukraine and Trump with Russia. That’s what politicians do; pick sides, build fleeting relationships, and manipulate storylines to win.

Is there an internet law that says I’m not allowed to comment the day I sign up? Stop this mentality lol

Self projection again? The official white house xitter account published an AI generated image of a turd with a crown, officially stating that the USA are now ruled by a king with absolute power

i imagine you're probably an idiot

I agree the biggest constitutional crisis of our life is already underway. I do not agree that we've reached the panic stage. Protest, organize, and be ready to vote in 2026. That's what we do right now.

They're claiming a bunch of things but all they've actually managed is data access, a money stop, and firings. The big claims are being tested in court right now.
-
Maybe where you are? I've seen several since the beginning of the month. And nobody should be doing violence right now. We do not have the organization, moral high ground, or legitimacy for that.
-
Before or after they put boots on the ground to "liberate America from liberal tyranny"?
-
Optimism makes the world go round. Nobody goes to the illegal declaration of Independence convention without optimism. Nobody marches in the street without optimism.
Having that possibility, that hope, is the core of making shit happen. Pessimism shuts shit down before it even begins. Realism can at least lead to doing a duty you're pretty sure will kill you.

It's very relevant. Wars are still mostly fought by troops on the ground, and you have to be able to get them to the place you want to invade. About the only other option is to try to physically destroy a hostile country with nuclear weapons, but that's pretty much guaranteed to be disastrous for all parties involved.

Can USA get kicked out NATO? Is there any process allowing that?
-
If we're really lucky, 2. If we take congress then they can at least limit his powers or, with a strong enough change, remove him from office. Now, if this happens I don't expect him to actually accept it and there will still be a fight, but the only real factor that matters at that point is if the military sides with him or the constitution. Right now, he doesn't have the military support to successfully perform a self coup.

You got video of that?

Pro Palestinian activists overwhelmingly voted for the Dems. Mainstream media is just once again blaming people on the left for their party leadership's own failures. That's what the Dems do every time they lose. They blame the progressives, claim that the party has somehow gone "too far left," and claim that they just need to move the party further to the right.
Don't blame the activists. Blame the Dem leadership who care far more for their millionaire and billionaire donors than they do their own constituents. Who care more about their donors than they do the end of democracy.

That’s why the Russian world politics strategy prescribes fomenting war between China and India. To keep them busy while Russia fuck Europe with the USA’s blessing.

But many countries have been running simulations for the scenarios since before electricity.
Right, I was gonna make that point, but it seems you made it for me. Because despite doing that, most wars in recent history, especially the world wars, did not go at all as predicted. Both world wars played out very different from previous wars and from what was to be expected. A standout example is British strategy for both world wars: in the first they made shitty trenches because they didn't realize they'd be used so much; in the second they made much better and more comfortable trenches because they had learned from the first war, and they turned out to be mostly useless because the trenches used were no longer static.
Spain even had a civil war as a prelude to the second world war, then during WW2 you even had Vichy France and the French Resistance fighting each other, and recently we had the Syrian civil war. Right now, it seems the USA might be on the brink of civil war as well. Not sure what makes you so sure WW3 wouldn't devolve into several civil wars when people are so much more connected with people from other countries nowadays.
