Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And this is only the beginning. Trump delays surely allowed smarter people than him some precious time to think the next move. Canada and Mexico will hit back hard, with accuracy. The higher social classes across the three countries are gonna be affected too. What friends do the USA have left? Not Europe, not North America, certainly not Russia. USA, Israel, and Argentina, I guess, for now. And the latter is crumbling fast since the $LIBRA scandal.
the only thing Russia wants from America, is for America to get out of the way, and in that regard. Russia has gotten almost everything it wanted. The only steps left is for both the US to leave NATO, and for NATO to disband entirely, or otherwise remove Britain and France from the rest of the security strategy.
Russia is an old country, in that it still thinks in terms of Empire of the 1700s. They are a dying country and the only way they can remain relevant is by having half of europe enslaved. they're pretty much screwed regardless now because they're militarily spent, but even so they will still try to attain that goal by nuclear threats and by regulatory capture of other countries by way of corrupt gangster politicians like Fico and Orban.
Russia couldnt care less what America does once its out of the way, whether its following them behind like a pathetic Mini-Me, or if they eviscerate themselves in a civil war, Russian Fascists would gladly shoot American Fascists in the back of the head given the chance.
Yeah, I don't feel animosity against Russia or Russians as you do, but they certainly could manage better without the USA snooping around, which was my point.
