Wow this onion headline is hilari- . . .
Trump hints he will likely change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

I thought this is excellent, and very perceptive. (Having lived in both the US & UK.)
And I particularly like this line: 'the international Low Trust Cohort marches on, never satisfied, wrecking everything they touch.'

Here we go. This is the worst of the betrayal possible. The USA as we know is gone. This are two dictators trying to decide the fate of a sovereign country that is fighting for its survival against a criminal war. The EU must raise up now, I won't accept nothing less from my elected officials.

Like no one really wants to deal with the massive outrage-and-hallucination engine that we’ve hooked our society up to, so it would be really nice to assume Dems can defang it with smart policy positioning or rhetorical positioning or whatever, and win elections anyway. But they just can’t!

Trump won, repurcussions of this are going to be felt well outside the US.
What can non-US people (🇬🇧 in particular) do now to mitigate the effects?
How do we limit the damage here?
