The future arms clients for USA are Russia (bankrupt, so needs deep discounts) and North Korea (ditto).
Enjoy the "JD Vance Future".

It destroys the export potential of US made cars as well.
No other country will buy substandard emission vehicles.
Hardly a MAGA move. Just another step in isolationism.

It is hard to re-generated dead soldiers. You can always replace them with mercenaries, but those are very expensive, and their motivation evaporates in a millisecond with incoming fire.

The US will be the loser in all this.
Hard to believe that the majority of the US population is OK with the administration lining up with Russia.
And the image of the US is tarnished for decades, despite of who follows Trump.
Let's hope that Russia runs out of money soon, solving the Ukraine case.

In a decade, the redistricting-enabled Republican admin will hate Europe not only due to our true freedoms, but also due to our advances in basic science.
Europe will have a new annual Science Award ceremony called "Donald J. Trump Exodus Awards". Eligible candidates must have had a US passport.

It's hard to understand how making your cars unsaleable abroad is helping the US economy...
December 7, 2025 at 8:09 AM
Any other administration would release a positive statement of such an achievement...
December 7, 2025 at 7:42 AM
The same in Finland. I bet Denmark and Sweden, too.

EU should start the support by freezing all funds destined to Hungary and using them for Ukraine.
Other deals can be done directly between governments, bypassing the EU process.
December 6, 2025 at 12:40 PM
Exactly.
The American population seems to be blissfully unaware how this fervent push of "Make America Great Again" is actually isolating the US globally.
The most indebted country in the World is pissing off their lenders, and Trump & admin are laughed at in the International press.
Prestige gone.

US support has dried up, yet they act like they own the negotiations, cutting both Europe and Ukraine off.
As the US share in the game is now reduced to only SELLING weapons to Europeans, it should be the European's choice if they want to BUY any help from America for the negotiations as well.

Nobody still has not explained what was "Great" before, yet they keep on saying "Make America Great AGAIN". Daily.
Apparently it is just as hard to explain as the meaning of "Woke", which they so much dislike. Daily as well.

The day when Americans can only enter other countries with a bullet-proof vaccination document are again a day closer.
I used to watch Fox with astonished disbelief when visiting the US.
Now I know what getting exposed to that junk for years can make to your brain.
Nobody benefits from this. Nobody.
December 6, 2025 at 10:35 AM
With a different leadership, Hungary could be at the forefront of the EU in terms of cutting themselves off from the Russian energy.
Maybe after the elections?
December 6, 2025 at 10:05 AM
The fact that European governments and companies still use the network formerly known as Twitter, after all the political instability that Musk has inflamed, is rather incomprehensible.
Even the US does not need it anymore, they have the soon-to-be-government-mandated channel called "Truth" Social.
December 6, 2025 at 9:30 AM
Whatever their motivation, at least some of them must realize that it will come back to bite them in the end.
If by nothing else, by entirely fencing the US military industry complex out from future deals on one of the richest and easiest potential markets on this planet.
December 5, 2025 at 10:46 AM
The fact that Republicans let all this happen is beyond belief.
Russia's economy is dwarfed by just Italy. And they are willing to sacrifice the whole of EU for that, so that the Trump, Kushner and Witkoff families could do some deals?
Is this why the US fought in the WWII?
December 5, 2025 at 9:58 AM
Yeah. It is kind of scary how this kind of crap seems to be expanding all the time.
A couple of years ago I wrote a book about proofs against the Flat Earth, and how easy it is to use your own eyes to disprove those claims. Yet that group just keeps on growing.
The Internet is making us dumber.

Trump's unhinged second term is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Every country should take full advantage of the brain drain he is causing.
Trump says countries are "sending their worst" immigrants to the US.
So to balance the books, he's sending the absolute best to the rest of the world.
December 4, 2025 at 12:56 PM
Great pic, unfortunately it's only a matter of time until this image starts a new life as the "absolute proof" for chemtrails among the apparently ever-expanding tin hat crowd...
December 4, 2025 at 11:36 AM
Fake.
I hate to see Finland pulled into scams like this...
There are plenty of beautiful, real images of Aurora due to the recent Solar Storms, no need to invent crap like this.
December 4, 2025 at 11:20 AM
Making American-made cars unsaleable in the rest of the world is now MAGA?
December 4, 2025 at 10:28 AM
Exactly. Physically impossible to create a vortex like that in the Earth's magnetic field.
December 3, 2025 at 7:21 AM
"Alleged" drugboats...
Boats which the world's largest Navy could easily just stop and cross-check instead of going guns blazing from the start.
