#confrontation
I'd hope the public posturing isn't fully representative of what's going on.

Similar to Ruttes "daddy" and the EU avoiding confrontation over tariffs it seems we're bending over backwards to not antagonise the US because we cannot (yet) support Ukraine as needed by ourselves.

Wishful thinking?

a core Biden-era reform that directly challenged one of the most powerful industries in Washington.

This is the real test of populism. Campaign rhetoric is easy. Enforcement is hard. President Biden chose confrontation with Big Pharma and delivered a tangible

And "end of NATO" immediately means military confrontation US vs rest NATO?
🇺🇸🇩🇰 The Danish PM says that NATO could end if the US takes over Greenland and I am gobsmacked some Europeans don't realize that might be exactly what Trump wants? Like how many signals does DC need to send before it's Captain Obvious.
NATO could end if US takes over Greenland — Danish PM – DW – 01/06/2026
Denmark's Mette Frederiksen said "everything would stop" in the event of a US attack on another NATO country. Donald Trump has said that Washington should take control of the autonomous Arctic island.

Trump IS a coward but he also is an idiot. Russia is threatening Europe from the East. It would be madness to risk a military confrontation with superpowers to both the east and the west when there are viable alternatives such as economic sanctions that have an equal or greater chance of success.

In Europe, it's high time to recognize that attempts to appease Trump and wind down the clock have failed to protect European interests.

Direct confrontation remains undesirable.

It's time to find a third way: as a self-reliant pole of Western values independent of Washington.
Managing Trump, no matter how well we may have done it, has not actually helped us adjust to this new world, and has probably hindered us

It’s happened to me several times and I’ll stress that most cases these people will not expect confrontation and will likely delete the bot if you tell them to. if you need help with doing it, don’t be afraid to ask.

Im sorry this had to happen to you too, it sucks a lot :/

Epiphany (1/6) is the inauguration of a confrontation between God’s Only Begotten and those in seats of power. This manifestation of God’s Intent, will disrupt the world. The bias of heaven is clear: Epiphany’s insurrection announcement confronts every settlement anchored in repression & domination.

Automated holiday e-cards often miss an actual birthday; gently remind friends of the correct date or accept mechanical greetings without confrontation.

My friend had to message me late last night that he finally cracked it. Remember that sick opening to Toy Story 2? That scene is revealed to be a video game that looks amazing, but Rex is playing with a terrible controller? Rex has to be playing a BUZZ LIGHTYEAR FMV GAME, like Dragon's Lair!

in silence and you don't have to believe that as if you believe you can make any wrong decision and outcome but that has nothing to do when you will ask the person directly. So why you are even listening to the people who speak silently and are afraid of confrontation and showing up, so don't even

Is 2026 Europe’s last year of ‘strange peace’ or the opening act of a much larger confrontation over systems, values and survival?

Election shocks, America's brinkmanship and deliberations over EU economic security will shape the impact of 2026.

I was thinking we might also see a switch back to the kamunabi vs hishaku story soon but at the same time, it doesn’t feel nearly as important as this confrontation atm, so I feel like it’s gonna be put aside for a couple more chapters or so

Not sure tbh! I was surprised by 107 but I actually think Hokazono made the right choice to keep the fight focused on Samura and Chihiro for now, and more specifically Chihiro’s confrontation with Akemura - Enten vs Magatsumi
