This will likely get waved away as "not the time" but my god does nobody remember the roughshod way that the USA went around the world to force support for The War on Terror? The threats? The ignored please to not start ANOTHER war in the Middle East?
Trump is merely downstream of that.

German Chancellor lamented Trump’s rapid reorientation of American foreign policy, saying:
“The international order based on rights and rules is currently being destroyed. This order, as flawed as it has been even in its heyday, no longer exists in that form.”

Yeah you can really tell when something important happens. This ain't the townsquare just yet.
I like Bluesky, but I really hope it becomes more popular for global geopolitical & conflict news and discussion. This week's G20 summit was far more active & vibrant on X than on here, and I feel that's a tragedy. It continues to validate staying on a platform that everyone should ideally leave.

Very funny piece about a faction of a whites-only enclave in Pretoria rebelling against the leadership and demanding to be incorporated into the wider city.
Funny how these racists always set up in authoritarian cult fashion.
