Just a normal guy who likes history, politics, and international relations.
Remember when people mocked the Democrats for saying democracy was at stake in the election.

Based on 2 months of nonsense they were right #America

Remember when FDR sided with Hitler & invited Churchill to Washington to betray him in WW2?

No b/c it didn’t happen

But Trump just backed Putin & betrayed & insulted Zelenskyy in the Oval Office as Ukraine fights to survive!

History will damn Trump & Vance

All opponents of Trump should stop crying & cowering into a ball.

Get up & fight!

America fought a revolution, civil war, world wars, communism, and against terrorism abroad & injustice at home.

Americans don’t face musket shots at Bunker Hill or bullets on Omaha Beach! #America #democrats

When Trump is gone you’ll hear so much:

-I was just following orders
-I didn’t know it was that bad
-I didn’t want to lose my job
-I stayed so someone worse wouldn’t replace me
-I was lied to

The difference is unlike the Germans in WW2 Americans should know better!

To better times for America. When the country came together and a president stood up and delivered a great speech.

The difference between a dumpster fire & America is everyone would WANT to put out the dumpster fire.

In the case of America burning some would yell fire, some would deny its being engulfed in flames, and some EVEN want it burn to the ground.

That’s America in 2025 #America

I’m beginning to think Trump doesn’t have an American first doctrine, but an American only one. #America #Trump

Poilievre just made his 1st mistake for the upcoming election in 2025

He did lip service to unity & said smart things against America. But most of his speech was undermining the gov’t & pushing his agenda. That’s not putting Canada 1st.

That doesn’t give Canadians comfort in a major crisis #Canada

It’s sad & incomprehensible how Trump can turn against a friend like Canada while Putin advances in Ukraine, China eyes Taiwan & the Pacific & Iran spreads terror in the Middle East.

Democracies are suppose to stick together!

To my American friends: I love the U.S. but WTF? #Canada #America #Trump

If only Russian foreign policy since 1917 was studied with the same obsession and harsh criticism as America’s.

Spoiler: Russian FP generally led to less peace, stability, or mutual economic benefit. If not the vast majority of its neighbours wouldn’t have joined NATO.

In the 2024 election 77 million voted for Trump, 75 million for Harris, but 90 million eligible voters didn’t vote

America doesn’t deserve to lead the world & lecture it. It can’t even respect its own democracy

Ppl living under tyranny in Russia, China, Iran & elsewhere would die to vote #America

Do older people, who grew up before smart phones & social media, remember sitting in bathroom stalls & reading the crude & dumb crap that was written on the door?

Today’s social media is the same. Much of the content is dumb & toxic, while the atmosphere still smells like shit.

I’m sure this isn’t an original thought but has Trump ended the war in Ukraine yet? In my time zone at least he only has 8 hours left according to his promise to end the war in 24 hours?

When Stalin made speeches no Communist politician wanted to be the 1st person to stop clapping.

That’s most (not all) of the Republican Party today when Trump says, posts, or does anything.

The difference is Republican politicians don’t face gulags or execution. That says a lot!

Influencers & media focus on fake U.S. threats to Panama, Greenland & Canada.

But Putin’s war in Ukraine goes on, China could invade Taiwan soon & Iran is going to make nukes.

My PR prof was right. Media & influencers care more about ratings than context or their political leanings #America #Media

So many people want a society/state where the so called experts are silenced and disempowered.

Where the mediocre skill & wisdom of the masses should run everything.

It already exists… it’s called a Kakistocracy: “A state or society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens.”

Polievre’s Tweet after Trudeau resigned attacked ALL Liberal MPs vs. insulting Trudeau. The target is now all liberal influence in Canada

His many slogans, stats & promises, some realistic, some not, were also cynical

Polievre just fired the 1st shot in the next election #Canada #Trudeau #Polievre

It’s a sad day when American domestic politics is less predictable than the powder key that is the Middle East.

Jimmy Carter just died. He gets criticism but did the 1st peace treaty between an Arab state & Israel

If you think that’s bad you’re VERY biased (both sides)

It was for Egypt & Israel who fought 25 years for nothing

Ppl virtue signal about peace & justice but it’s mostly bs #America #Israel #Gaza

2/ If not ppl would promote peace between wars. How many Likes, shares, comments & links do most ppl and influencers make between wars?

Thank god Carter didn’t have to deal with social media & virtue signalling. He wouldn’t have started the snail pace to eventual peace. #jimmycarter #Israel #Gaza

The movie Dumb and Dumber has aged far better than American Democracy.

Let that sink in #America

The main difference between that movie and America is most ppl like the movie.

“The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the people they keep around.” -Machiavelli

I don’t know everything about Trump’s cabinet picks. Some seem good, others appear bad, and too many seem terrifying.

I doubt it’s the best cabinet in U.S. history #Trump #America
