I think a felon rapist who incited an insurrection and illegally attempted to overturn an election is trying to extort a democratic country who is sending an entire generation of their men into the afterlife to prevent Russia from expanding their borders and influence, which is bad for the whole world.

As an American, I am utterly ashamed of my country.

It's time for Europe to act and not leave the power of interpretation to Trump and his goals. We cannot continue letting him shape the public discussion/information space. Build a strong pillar that puts something against his wall of noise and make clear that Europe won't falter to his attacks.

Trump will do everything possible to appease Putin regarding Ukraine.

If the EU doesn't protect Ukraine, more countries will become victims.

Moldova, Belarus, Poland, ...

I love how the Trump administration is just so blunt. They just do all their things for everyone to see. In a way, they are too dumb to lie, to play mind games. It's just unhinged brutality all the way, no subtlety, no in between the lines. I don't think it's going to work in their or America's favor.

And yet, the american media will bend over backwards to say that what you saw is in dispute.

"Well, I think what the president was trying to say was..."

I stopped watching/listening to all mainstream media because of this. Because I am so god damned tired of talking heads trying to find sense in whatever that syphilis-infested brain of his vomits out of his chapped orange lips. It's like trying to discuss the symbolism of the "art" that a chimpanzee flung onto a zoo observation window.

Fuckin regret that purple link. JFC after President Zelensky states that the United States would feel the effects, that blustering old toad squats there shouting about “Don’t dictate what we feel” and “You’re gambling with WWIII”. Pure red-faced, finger-jabbing bully tactics while contradicting himself.

Jabba the Hutt looking turd emoji makes me physically ill. Will no one rid me of this turbulent trump?

"You're in no position to dictate what we're gonna feel"

Wow. What an incompetent buffoon. It's like he was sitting there desperately grasping for a trigger word to get angry about and deliver his badly memorized rant, and this was the best he could come up with.

I actually wonder what the anti-american-tankie take is about this. Do they support the USA now? Or are they pro Ukraine as they are a victim of US imperialism now?

Divorced from reality. Who knows what this could lead to.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 13 hours ago

Remember when pre 2015 we all made jokes about how Steve Jobs lives in his Reality Distortion Field? Yeah, this is what that actually looks like. Braindead America.

They have no shame in the fact everybody can see and hear. They are hard to talk to because they are not listening to, or applying, any reason. That's why it's bizzaro world rn that they are "leaders". I have no faith in any fair outcome. The only way I see this ending ok-ish is if we, collectively as peasantry, refuse to acknowledge these egoistical psychopaths and sociopaths, let them throw tantrums for a little bit, then try to correct the course of where capitalism and hate is leading us. Ukrainians and Palestines are fucked with this people in charge.

I've been seething all evening to be honest.

Fuck America

This fucking demented rapist piece of shit traitor is a goddamned disgrace.

And I don’t give a fuck that my representatives are Putin-dick-choking MAGA dipshit spineless pricks, if they can’t fight russia’s war-criming war machine even through a single brave country doing all the goddamn work for them, I will scream at them until their eyes are boiled for fucking this up so goddamned bad.

FUCK! I hope this garbage clown gets the big dispose-all as soon as fucking possible.

I had to zoom in because for a second there I thought Zelensky was Sal Vulcano of Impractical Jokers fame.

"Sal's our biggest loser this week and as punishment, must spend an entire day with Donald Trump and JD Vance."
