We are trying. Please realize that the second largest conflict (based on spending) in the world right now, behind the Russian invasion of Ukraine, is DJT’s ICE attacks on the US. That is how much he is spending to attack his own country. More than Israel spends to occupy Palestinians. Sadly, if you look at polling, none of this is remotely unpopular with US Republican voters. Our country’s union is hanging on by tatt…

Let's hope you Americans will vote for the right party in the upcoming midterms. And let's hope you will even get the chance to do so.
We can’t. It’s over. Laws don’t mean anything anymore. Even if we had a full democratic congress, they would just be ignored. The Trump administration has already been grooming people to accept congress is useless, beginning with the month long shutdown. And the Supreme Courts will just go along with whatever the president wants now. Start preparing for the post-American world.

> Personally I find all of the pretense and posturing around these issues both comical and concerning > There is no sign that Canada and the European nations will be in a position to even put up a shadow of resistance to it. Same for the US. There has been ample reporting about how there is no shipbuilding capacity in the US (but there still is in Europe).

As a side note. Beware when exporting to the USA using UPS. Especially when having the receiver pay for imports and taxes. UPS does not enforce payment. They will hand out the package before receiving the taxes and tolls. Then, they force you, the exporter, to pay, since you’ve agreed to it by accepting their terms and conditions. I’ve learnt this the hard way.

The blame extends equally to everybody who supported this but due to the way American elections are set up, those people on the margins are “how” this happened.
It’s easier to blame the heartland than it is to think about why it happened that way, isn’t it?
As a US citizen resident of Finland, I am proud of my adoptive country. I have been so far relatively neutral-to- vaguely-supportive of MAGA wrt the culture wars, and I find Trump's posturing on Greenland appalling and disgraceful. Yes, we all know that Trump's MO is to demand something horrendous in order to secure something less horrendous, but there is no path from threatening an ally's sovereignty that leads to a…
It stopped people asking about the Epstein files.
