This feels super bad, because we are giving him a PR win, but that is the only thing he cares about, so he fucks off. Then we simply don't follow through, and the cycle repeats 6 months later. It's "Sure grandpa lets get you to bed".

Unsatysfying, but i think this is what's going to happen

I think both europe and ukraine will say "sure" and then just kinda continue to do the same things we are now. Or give some conditions that sound reasonable but will not happen.

I think at this point politicians know that it's best to lie to trump, and just do your own thing until he gets bored

What is this headline? Everyone knows he's a kiddyfucker, and you're trying to twist the language to make "yea, president of the usa is very likely a pedo" a 'neutral' language. Good luck with that bozos

The question isn't why are ppl being twitter grifters, but why is like 30-40% of society falling for it?

I LOCKED 10.000 SLAVES IN THE DESERT! YOU WONT BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!

thats a price of more than one brand new dog

given the state of russian military, i think they won't dare to try.
When you test you need to tell everyone you're testing, and if you tell everyone and then it doesn't work, not only russians are instantly losing their only leverage, they would also probably get a call about the land china wants

some people just can't settle for criticising a bad thing, without it being the worst thing.

When you focus on eco and tech up so much that the AI that was a problem in the early game suddenly offers you a non-agression pact...

Bro i am not from usa, i am looking at my ally sleepwalking into fascism, and instead of country-wide protests, you are just waiting for them to ship you to el salvador one by one.

I will be shitting on your weak response to the crisis, until you start to treat it seriously.

I am not from usa, so i can't really do much, beside telling you to wake the fuck up. I am just horrified that my strongest ally sleepwalks into fascism, and noobody is reacting to it. Usually ppl escalate so the military has to step in, and pick a side. You want that before trump takes it over.

but they should demand it, shout and disrupt the procedings, block the chambers, jesus, look at any other country, politicians are not always just following the decorum, is it taiwan where politicans fist fight in the chamber?

Next elections might not happen, if they don't escalate this.

What do you want to wait for?
Ignoring the rule of law?
Masked paramilitary kidnapping people?
Ignoring the courts?
Actual military in the streets?
Death camps?

At some point, you have to draw the line in the sand, and hold.
Waiting for an optically optimal transgression will get you killed.

To be honest, they should have an separate impeachment vote on trump actions every other day. They fact they know republicans will block that is not important, it's important to react proportionally because people look to their leaders to see when deciding how to react themselves.

i would say he is pretty steadily getting there. I think all democracies need to abandon the misguided idea that political disourcse is a sacred ritual where the truth magically comes out. To keep a democracy working, requires aggresive ejection of bad faith actors, and hard reality checks.

They pearl clutch over this, because they thrive in keeping the discourse away from the real question.

What should the germans have done in 1936?

Sometimes people prefer to continue with denial instead of facing the reality.

"Aligator Alcatraz" will surely not be a death camp?

right...?

We need to escalate, and overreact in response. Over the years, we've built up russian confidence in our diplomatic reliability, and they will push us to the most uncomfortable place for us. We need to restore uncertainty and fear of escalation, on their side.

lets not both sides the issue.
Everything is about the truth and facts.
Trump is a fascist, and everyone has the right to call him that.
As long as what you say is true, you are not calling for violence, you are reporting the truth.

i would like to see some more efforts aimed at reducing energy prices, abundant and cheap power is one of these things that will add up across the whole production chain, having spare capacity also makes potential strikes against energy infrastructure hurt less.
