They want to build an American Empire, so naturally they're burning up the American Empire to turn America into an Empire.

For more than a decade now, a significant proportion of Congressional reporting has been catching Republicans in the halls so they can say things like, "I actually have never seen or heard anything before. I was born two seconds ago. Who are you? Who am I? Where are we?"
Mike Johnson tells me that he hasn’t seen Trump saying in Davos “what we have gotten out of NATO is nothing”

"The Euros are weaklings who won't stand up for themselves and how dare they stand up for themselves" is too on the nose for satire and yet it's the official stance from Washington.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans.
When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

it can both be true that we, in america, think it’s extremely unlikely that trump is going to invade greenland and *also* be true that all of europe has to consider it a serious threat and respond accordingly, and our congress should absolutely do the same

The American position is that climate change is a Chinese hoax which will expand Greenland's strategic importance for homeland defense and that is why U.S. allies who are too unwilling to stand up to evil should stop standing up to evil and cede their territory to protect their territory.

I don't think the Americans, and yes, I mean all of you, are prepared for how hated you now are by everyone.

The answer is obvious and shes not even aware: it's social media!
