This is nothing new, this is what the US empire has been doing for a long long time now.

"The word will go out to the nations of the world that it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." -Henry Kissinger

The one that should get their military aid suspended is Israel.

Should be “Trump Cuts Aid As Planned, Cites Fake Drama”

NYT doesn't do real journalism anymore, they just report on the narrative.

American alliances and soft power destroyed in a single month.

Thanks conservative traitors.

It's always adorable the way liberals try to 'no u' conservative hypernationalism. "Actually sir, you're the traitor!"

He's still got the support of the entire rest of the world outside of facist USA and Russia.

I can't speak for all the officials there, but many of them very much have been directly elected

The Norwegian one for example is the prime minister

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Alright, I'll bite. Was it a direct election? Or more like the British "choose one of the two parties that are openly against the people, and then they'll choose the boss"?

Alternatively like in Poland "17 parties and 40+ independents but every single one is neoliberal, US bootlicker and probanderite"

The question sounds like a joke because the laws are long dead, but isn't it illegal to do? Like, he's not supposed to be able to even do it.

Congress has refused to do anything for a decade or so in an attempt to push more power to the executive branch.

I still wonder how there is no big resistance already in US.. Maybe organisation needs some time?
How can you just continue living while your country gets converted into a dictatorship?
So strange

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Biden doubled child poverty with a penstroke and took 20 million people of medicaid but it takes trump halting the arming of a nazi army for petty reasons for you to wonder where the resistance is.

Please go back to brunch.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

Hu? I mean, like the flaws of the US “democracy” are now so obviously visible, and yet, it seems no one is really resisting. Or do I miss something?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At least half the population buys into the "fake news" shit about how Trump never did anything wrong and all of this is somehow making more jobs for Americans. I'm not kidding. I have this argument too often. I don't know what to do about it. It's so frustrating and depressing.

Many people of America are just not educated enough…

Not dumb, bur veeery uneducated

To an extent, that they are not able to reason scientifically, but just believe what they want.

When people are just miserable enough to not have energy to do anything esle but survive, but not miserable enough to have nothing to lose, they can't self-organise for shit, and that's a very exploitative human characteristic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That is true, and that is why American people have to act now, it only gets worse from now. See Nazi Germany with Hitler as a warning! The “left” people of Germany waited too long for action and then it was too late. The Nazis were already killing opposition: https://www.insidehook.com/culture/death-white-rose-nazis-turned-guillotine-execute-students

You do nothing, which is easy.

Sigh, where to begin. Maybe check back in 30-90 days after social security payments start coming up missing...By then they will either fight or die on the streets homeless. I am just young enough to survive working till I die like our feudal crypto overlords demand.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yea, I really wonder what will happen next

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ukraine can't have peace without security guarantees and Russia withdraws from all of its land since 2014. Russia must also pay reparations and be held accountable for war crimes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Well, given that most of that will never happen, I suppose Ukraine can't have peace then. Unfortunate for them that you have decided that.
