#752Astounding how quickly all the liberals here were convinced to become neocons nearly overnight out of spite over Trump. All this talk about “soft power”, one user below even bemoaned the end of the “US hegemony”. Unreal

#753If European leaders don't watch this and realise they need to take control of their own destiny they're idiots. Several European leaders visited this week bending the knee to try and stave off tariffs. Time to stand up, realise the US is no longer a reliable ally, and start building (on all fronts - military, manufacturing, tech, etc). Given the American people voted for this guy twice - the second time in spite of J…
I think most Americans of various stripes would endorse this. Europe is more than welcome to saber-rattle on its own budget.

#754I've never felt this embarrassed to be an American in recent years. To all our foreign friends in computing, the majority of people in the US are not caricatures of POTUS and his sock puppet sidekick.

It's so sad that an evil magician has hypnotized so many Americans into voting for Trump. Thank you for reminding us how the majority would have voted if they hadn't been hypnotized.

#755I would like to know what the alternatives are. None that I can think of are palatable: 1. Support Ukraine enough so that Russia doesn't take too much more territory, but not enough for Russia to feel threatened and escalate the war. This was the Biden plan and it sounds like what Europe wants. I just don't see how this ends the war. Is this just buying time for someone to depose Putin? 2. Support Ukraine enough so i…
You seem to be missing $15T in minerals and for sure we can’t afford a freeze on current lines and this will make Russia invasion very profitable.

#758Could all of this have been avoided if USA voters had been given a slice of USA's GDP growth over the years?
Rising wages, lower taxes, or 35 hour work weeks, instead of stagnation and inflation. So they wouldn't turn to a populist outsider.

#759I normally avoid commenting on politics entirely but I feel compelled to comment here. I'm sure anyone who's ever been bullied in their life will feel exactly what's happening in that video clip. Two big kids, confident in their position and backing each other up, gang up on the outsider. Did they ever really want to make a deal at all? Absolutely infuriating and saddening to watch.

#760Ukraine is in a bind, and the US has the power to do whatever it wants. But boy, will the nations of the world remember this -- how quickly the US can turn from ally to bully. A really bad day for US foreign policy. The EU is going to be thinking long and hard about the future of NATO now.
I wish more people would remember that Ukraine was once 3rd nuclear power in the world but agreed to give it all away in return for promise that US will defend it instead.
This is why Zelensky keep saying he doesn't want another paper.
