Trump lies just like Putin lies. Ignoring the easily disprovable alternate-reality lies from Trump, this is what's going to happen:
- The US will be less safe
- Citizens will be poorer, less healthy, and have less rights
Electing a malignant narcissist and habitual liar has consequences

Breaking up NATO would not only weaken the US, but also destroy the export market for the US defense industry, which would result in increased defense spending in the US. Who would buy F35's from a hostile country?

The US has bases in Europe that are important for global US force projection. If the US attacks a European NATO country, then it will get kicked out of these bases. This would weaken the US military, weaken Europe, destroy NATO. Putin would LOVE this to happen.

The point about Greenland: Currently the US has bases all over Europe, especially in Germany. A US attack against a NATO ally will not only destroy NATO, but almost certainly result in the removal of those bases, weakening US force projection capabilities and weaken Europe. This is Putin's wet dream

The US used to be a high-trust society, so citizens don't expect that Trump will just ... make.stuff.up. There doesn't need to be a kernel of truth, he's inventing whole parallel realities that match his desires. This is SOP in Russian propaganda, and it's SOP for Trump because of his mental illness

NATO wasn't prepared for it's strongest member state becoming thoroughly compromised by Russia. At this point, the US is a liability within NATO, and European countries would be better off creating a separate defense alliance.

Fair enough

I think "works" is the wrong word. Trump obeys Putin, because he is afraid of Putin. In the 1990's when Trump was desperate enough to go to Russia for loans, Putin either got some incredible kompromat on Trump, or Putin scared Trump shitless.

Trump does what Putin wants, but it's not really "work"
December 30, 2025 at 3:33 PM
Putin owns Trump. This isn't a "friendship", Trump will never make a decision against the will of Putin. Trump isn't being played by Putin, Putin flat out prepares talking points for Trump and tells him what to say.

Also, Putin lies about EVERYTHING. Why are his lies parroted in the press?

The USA is currently a larger version of Belarus: Within the Russian sphere of influence, allowed self-administration up to a certain point, but matters of foreign policy are controlled by Putin. Trump is a slightly more embarrassing version of Lukashenko.

The "root cause of the conflict" is that Russia is a fascist kleptocratic dictatorship intend on rebuilding an empire and exploiting and russifying its neighbours.

Do people not realize that lotteries are ADVERTISING the fact that they are NOT paying out, because the chances of winning are so infinitesimal small. Somehow they realized that "1.7 billion jackpot that nobody claimed" is more profitable than "we made 1700 millionaires this week". It's bizarre.

The problem isn't really Trump. Trump has been a corrupt, criminal, self-aggrandizing, lazy, incurious, lying, racist, misogynistic, rapist piece of shit for the last 40 years. The actual problem is that millions of Americans looked at Trump and thought: "This is my guy!" not once, but twice.

Russian statements are lies intended to deceive the weak-minded. Right now, Russia is executing a war of conquest and genocide, bombing the civilian population of a European country on a daily basis, increasing its military size and weapons production, and RU propagandists threaten Europe nightly

Russia uses words and diplomacy to lie, confuse, distract, and deceive. Their native language is violence, not words. The only thing that matters is what they do, not what they say.

"Never run when you can walk.
Never walk when you can stand.
Never stand when you can sit.
Never sit when you can lay down."
"And never pass a supply of clean water"

Can someone offer her some water?

An elegant interface for a more civilized age. When mice had balls and the mouse/keyboard interface didn't need the bandwidth of a network interface

Russia uses words for deception, and has no other use for language besides scamming and deceiving others. They communicate through violence. Offer enough force, and they will understand. The West needs to speak their language if they want to achieve something.

Russia has accurately assessed that NATO is no threat to Russian territory. Even in case of article 5, no NATO country has any willingness to actually invade Russia. The drone attacks are about intimidation, and diverting resources from Ukraine. Think of how a crime cartel would act, not a country.

I am grateful for the links that you provide, it gives me a much better insight into the technology that is being used to control large drones. That servo is listed with a variety of interfaces, including RS232 and RS485. In contrast, all the cheap consumer servos use 1-2ms wide PWM pulses.
