US could do that, sure.

But I bet it’d quickly find out just how much of its power, safety and bravado is due to being located in a geographically safe and isolated area with no real hostile armies trying to end them from the other side of the border.

Just how much of that willingness to fight comes from invading foreign underdeveloped territories across the sea, with little chance for the fight to make its way back to US cities and US civilians.

Easy to start fights from the comfort of a distant home, sending only military lives into the far away battlefield.

Something Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East can’t claim, as they have to contend with potentially bad neighbors due to all sorts of reasons.

Go ahead, poke the bear, FAFO.

If not Nazi, why Sieg Heil-shaped? 🙄

On a completely unrelated topic, just look at Hitler sending his heart out to his people, how heartwarming.

I was under the impression he was an expert on due process. Like, no one knew due process as well as him. I could swear many people also praised him for it, and that no one had more due processes than Trump.

Heck, the guy knows more about poping than the Pope, so much he’d make the greatest Pope in history.

I’m really starting to think this Trump guy might not be that flawless a human like he claims all the time. 🧐

I really wouldn’t, even though it’s not my fight.

Harris was not the answer before, it won’t be now. If the Democrat party still hasn’t reached the obvious conclusion why they lost to such a pitiful opponent as Trump, then America is truly doomed since the only choices are Dumb and Dumber. Or who’s the lesser evil.

There’s a reason why many people did not vote for either party, which ultimately gave Trump the needed edge to win.

Keep the word salads, empty buzzwords and lack of accountability, keep the flashy fanfare, the cheap insults, and the over-the-top celebrity endorsements, keep showing the people how big and wasteful your show is while they starve on food stamps, keep hiding Biden’s mental state while he’s in office, keep underestimating and mocking the other side instead of breaking the cycle and actually leading by example. No wonder Trump simply had to tell the people he’d lower prices and end suffering and people gobbled it up knowing it came from the orange nepo baby fraudster, because they were that much desperate.

Keep showing you’re part of the problem and not the solution, and then wonder why people don’t see an obvious choice as to who is better for them.

Trump is not planning on ending this 2nd mandate, that much is obvious. But if you can get him out by any means it may take, it won’t be that long before another Trump eventually makes its way into power.

Show why you’re better, don’t limit yourself to tell people why the other side sucks. They already know that much, and they’re desperate for something better beyond appearance.

And anyone blindly defending the democrats just because the republicans are worse this time, instead of expecting them to do better, are part of the problem just as much as MAGA.

Right move. He really thinks everyone’s as stupid as he is, or his supporters.

Not that he won’t press the matter further, or even try to do it anyway if he sees the chance.

The only appropriate response to someone who is used to take others by force is a complete rejection and threat of painful consequences, since that’s what savage Neanderthals respond to. Give an inch, he’ll take Mexico whole.

Yup, as much as possible.

Basically “the US is hitting us hard, so we’ll instead hit other countries in order to appease to US consumers”. To me they’re contributors to the problem, plain and simple.

You could elect a cabinet composed exclusively of orange cats united by a single and solitary shared braincell, and they wouldn’t be as idiotic.

They’d be idiotic, for sure. They’d be entertaining as well. But at least they wouldn’t be malignantly idiotic.

If it was the other way around he’d never let Carney hear the end of it - “Carney, the guy who had to get someone else to quit in order to keep his seat”.

Politicians gonna politics, no surprise there.

I’m sure Vance would definetly know. He has his home TV, after all.

You can just tell he and the rest of Trump’s cheerleaders are trying to undo any progress made during the Vatican meeting.

“Mr. President, don’t fall for their manipulation, this war will never end, they wanna take us for a ride”. You just know it.

Start giving Trump what he wants and he’ll just take, take, take until there’s nothing left.

And when we’re in a worse position than if we had stood our ground he’ll just label EU a sucker and go about his day.

Never give in to bullies. Even China knows that.

I think I see many reasons why Debby is no longer in the picture.

Anyways, how far along, truck chief?

Still not a complete shut down on him, since he’s gonna serve in another position. But better than nothing.

More interestingly, many said Waltz (who created the first signal group) would be the one to get the axe first, and not Hegseth (the one actually leaking classified data, twice) - not because he fumbled, but because he publicly admitted it, he admitted he made a mistake.

Curious to see what happens next, but so far the prophecy holds true enough.

Some people joke about Carney’s lack of a “celebrity charisma”, or being “too boring”.

Tells you all you need to know about why the US is going through its current “historic chapter”.

Better to have an economist learn how to be a politician, than a politician learn to be an economist. Too many countries allow themselves and their parliaments devolve into complete fish markets where the person talking the loudest, or getting the cheapest “gotcha” moment, are deemed to be “awesome”.

Give me boring, please. “interesting times” are only good to learn about in history books, not as they happen.

Pascal Soriot said innovation in pharmaceuticals ‘has mostly been funded by the US’

Mr. Dr. Chad here does know that Europe hasn’t invested as heavily in that sector because there was no critical need for it, right? Which now has changed.

That’s the whole point of stable economic relations like the one we had with the US until now, because there’s no point to every country producing everything as if they were alone when they can import whatever they don’t have from somewhere else.

Anyways, go and hang out with your fascist buddies if you want, as they continuously implode your whole argument of “US did more” by driving away scientists and other talent, as well as defund several critical health-related research projects.

Meanwhile, we’ll do our own thing and slowly but surely make up for lost time and misplaced trust.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, champ. I hear these days the US isn’t the safest place for health/pharma CEO’s tho.

Don’t do it. Seriously. They’ll take the minerals and after a few years when Russia attacks again they’ll go “peace out bro, it was good while it lasted, not really our problem since we have this big and beautiful ocean separating us, thoughts and prayers” and abandon the place.

Better do it through Europe (harder but better in the long run) and collectively secure a more lasting and strong peace by way of actual deterrence and sharing of common interests. Europe won’t ever say “we don’t need to help you since we don’t need to”.

Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security, and it understands that.

Oh no! (Shocked Pikachu face)

So Trump was hiding the truth all along! He also has the same tattoos on himself, so this is clearly proven beyond all doubts to be an internal gang power struggle. It’s right there in the picture, just like with Mr. Garcia, and it can’t be fake because there’s no way to edit photos.

Trump should also be sent to CECOT since the truth about his MS13 membership is exposed.

US not beating the meme allegations anytime soon, it seems.

“I leave all my stuff to… uhh…” 💣💥

Despite the internal issues Canada is facing, sadly, there are worse external problems to worry about at the moment.

European here, proud of Canada for standing up to those echoing totalitarian rethoric. We all need unison, and given that even the so-called ‘freest nation on earth’ is at the precipice of fascism, no one should underestimate that possibility from happening to any other free nation if given the chance to fester.

For a safer world for all of us, Europe has your back.
