But the elected GOP already fell in line.

One thing Trump has done is exposed just how much these people think keeping their jobs are more important than their constituents. I really hope that the primaries are packed and this shows at the polls in the next couple of elections

How about he does not understand that Denmark is not Norway and also Norwegian government does not reward the Nobel price winners.

The NYT reports that the EU is considering a nuclear option of sorts which is cutting off American tech, meaning Facebook, X, IG.

Kind of a good option, I’d think.

I wondered whether any of those countries had considered seizing his EU or UK properties, but I could also see that legitimately risking a nuclear attack.

Ukrainian intelligence services deliberately fed false strategic information to their American counterparts to test whether it would leak to Russian forces, according to former French DGSE operative Vincent Crouzet, in a claim aired on France’s LCI television network om 15 January that highlights deepening distrust between Kyiv and Washington under the current U.S. administration.



HOW STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE!? I MEAN, THIS WAS DONE IN WW2 BEFORE...

The Allies fed false intelligence to the Axis during WWII through elaborate deception campaigns, most famously the British Double-Cross System (XX System), which turned German agents into double agents to feed disinformation, and through large-scale operations like Operation Fortitude, which created phantom armies and radio traffic to mislead the Germans about D-Day, successfully convincing Hitler the invasion would occur at the Pas-de-Calais instead of Normandy.

You are truly governed by idiots, how hard can it be to overthrow them!?

I saw this and have been trying to verify.

Anyway, we are on the precipice of civil war and WWIII. There's no way we could survive either, but both at the same time is going to be devastating.

If there were ever a reason for the military to step in and perform their duty to protect and serve against domestic enemies, now is the time.

like most foreign policy, I don’t expect the average voter to understand why it’s important.

China certainly understands. When the ice melts, who will be shipping those minerals to your iPhone?

There's no will among the electorate to overthrow them because the way our systems are arranged (via gerrymandering) means that their fellow idiots are the only voters whose votes actually count.

The will of the general population is overruled by the tyranny of the minority, but, see, this is a better system because it means gee-hyuk-er-ville got a visit from the presidential candidates they wouldn't otherwise have! Isn't seeing the potential president in person once every four years worth a little fascism now and then?
