In a strongly worded statement, the company criticised a televised event involving U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, referring to it as the “biggest shitshow ever presented live on TV.” Haltbakk Bunkers praised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his restraint, accusing the U.S. of “putting on a backstabbing TV show” and declaring that the spectacle “made us sick.”

I think they call it soft power, where people just go along with you by default...

What Trump did to Zelensky and things he said about Ukraine on top harassing our other allies, thats called big dick daddy power, and it makes your friends wonder that you will do this to them. Most of this will go un noticed, small thing here and there. But US will pay the price and we don't have the resource to maintain a military to control what we have now at gun point, Russia style. This is delusional and undermines the foundation of our hegemony.

I am not a US imperialist but like this shit is bad all around even if you don't like the Empire. It is there... why would we start ceding it to Russia or China JFC
