One question directly invokes Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s demand that allies stay “strong, clear, and quiet” in alignment with U.S. interests.
The rest of NATO really needs to form an inner circle that excludes America. We’re a massive liability to the organization.
They could call the select group “NATO Gold”. Being excluded from a select organization that has the word ‘gold’ in its name would really piss Trump off.
You think they don’t already?
The difference is that it doesn’t have a big flashy public name. It will be an informal network of diplomats and knowledgeable command staff.
You mean the country that has pissed away all of its weaponry and is currently losing a war of choice against an enemy that is, generously speaking, a 10th of its strength?
Yeah, NATO’s gonna be sad to lose it.
This is a perfect example of conservative MAGA values. They want a heirarchy system where the chosen people at the top are given special privileges and are effectively above the law. This is what .makes MAGA so foreign and hard to understand for so many people.
Know your enemy.
I hope all our former allies realize that there’s NOTHING they can do to restore that protection during the reign of Clown King. No amount of licking his orange balls will work. They must turn away from us and move on as quickly as possible.
Why? Because he spoke in front of the UN general assembly on September 25 2018 and they laughed at him. If you think that’s just too stupid an explanation, if you think he can’t possibly be that insecure and petty, finish your nap before you reply.
A normal person would feel that humiliation and go through a cycle of emotion, maybe including an initial anger, but would ultimately self-reflect, conclude those world leaders can’t all be wrong, and strive to improve. He’s not capable.
But why does he keep making up with the dictators of the world after very public spats? Because they’ve never publicly laughed at him.
His insecurity is paired with a deep feeling of inferiority to all the worlds’ leaders. When Kim, Putin, Xi, etc. fight with him, they lower themselves to his level, so even though they’re fighting, he feels like they think of him as a peer. When someone laughs at him, he knows that they don’t respect him. He knows they can see through his preposterous facade. He can’t pretend they don’t, like he can with the dictators.
No imminent geopolitical reality exists that will snap him out of it. No amount of his rivals debasing themselves will unring that bell. No protection “deal” will ever be honored because the sting of humiliation can’t be salved with signatures.
The emperors clothe.
I still think the world ought to continue laughing at trump whenever he makes a speech.
Where is the line? When do we stop this nonsense?
Idk, man. What did you plan to do about it?
I don’t have money or resources to single handedly Rambo the situation away, but if a politician were within arms reach of me I’d go for the neck and eyes, consequences be damned. That’s all one person could realistically achieve.
There is a reason I said “we,” jackass. This isn’t a one person job.
braise him. to an internal temperature of at least 165°f to ensure no bacteria survives
theres no meat on him. Its all fat and shit.
For safe consumption, Nazis should be cooked to an internal temperature of 1488°F. It’s what they would’ve wanted
pathetic…
What the fuck is going on here? The next Democratic administration isn’t going to be able to do anything that they’re campaigning on because they’ll have their hands full fixing the mess this one is leaving.
Sounds like the plan is working, unfortunately.
Pretty sure that’s part of the point. Either the current admin enriches themselves fucking everyone over for the next 2-4 years, or they get replaced by lukewarm Democrat party of whom half were probably also making bank off the current corruption and this will never prosecute anyone of note, while wasting their whole term either actively embattled with Trump for the rest of his term and unfucking things for the rest.

Everyone can see what works best for healthcare, work/life balance and quality of life. It’s not what russia, argentina and maga is doing. More restrictions and harshness is the opposite of what successful countries do and it’s obvious in data, but all these people keep going for the right wing propaganda and ignore the data on how to make a healthy civilization. More of the controlling, just obey us, keep people in scarcity and stress so they don’t realize how much the system screws them over and reject it for what’s healthier for humanity,
USA needs to be thrown out of NATO.
But that’s probably what Putin wants, and he has ordered Trump to be impossible in NATO to create a breakup.
Unfortunately the Americans are doing effectively nothing to stop him, so we can’t trust USA anymore.He won’t protect anyone regardless of loyalty.
Trump loves to bully America’s allies.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte (see this article)
They know that when it comes to NATO, it’s there to protect the United States because US needs to secure Atlantic and secure Arctic and secure Europe to stay safe here in the US mainland but it is also there to make sure Europe is safe and to be this platform of power projection for the United States. So, what the US did with Iran, they could do because so many European countries lived up to those commitments.“
So basically do as you’re told. Europe are the vassals and subservient to Nato. Always have been. This is not new, Trump is just more honest (lol). And with NATO 3.0 it’s 5% GDP into privatized military industrial complex, Europe pays, gives Soliders, US plutocrats get the money. That is the new model. It’s already ratified.
Meanwhile on Ukraine / Russia: “Oh NATO is such a friendly and nice purely defensive alliance between enlightened countries! There is simply no reason at all why Russia should have anything against it!”
The amount of double think is astonishing.
I am glad that I cannot imagine the depths of insecurity that plague our esteemed president.
Makes me wonder what his mom and dad did to him as a kid that fucked him up. People who were abused reclaim their power by becoming abusers themselves and perpetuating the pattern.
That or maybe his wang is just abominably small and he can’t see it over his enormous belly.
