@TimHannan You psychos already failed at that twice. You think you have enough credibility left to try again to reverse the election you lost?

If we impeach and remove Trump right now, maybe just maybe the world will forgive us one day for what he’s done.

@mark_slapinski To underscore European inferiority and to disrupt China as a conflict approaches.
Call it an American Win-Win scenario.
English
I'm still confused.
Why is America bombing Iran?!
English
@AaronBastani NATO, under Denmark NEVER secured the two vulnerable arctic sea approaches to the US east coast for the last 6 decades that the US has quietly requested.
You had a chance but NATO wouldn't secure those approaches. Denmark expected the US navy to do so, alone, at our cost
English
Rather amusing seeing these weasels write this stuff when they were threatening to annex Greenland ten minutes ago.

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@steven_pifer The US is currently preparing Pacific defense for a potential attack from China.
No European or NATO help for that one though, right?
The US is on its own there too right?
English
NATO Treaty commits allies to collective defense if one is attacked in North Atlantic area, not if US launches war of choice in Persian Gulf.
Hegseth didn't consult allies before US attacked Iran. He skipped Feb NATO defense ministerial meeting. He now whines about no help. 1/2
Lexie🌹👉🏻🇺🇸@its_Lexieroy
🚨 HOLY CRAP! SecWar Pete Hegseth just dropped a truth nuke on NATO “You don't have much of an ALLIANCE if you have countries that are not willing to STAND with you when you need them!” NATO is officially on notice. President Trump never forgets.

@marissenmark Planes are several times FASTER.
A Plane route between two cites cost less to establish than a parallel rail connection.
Stop wasting money that you REALLY DON'T HAVE.

I just came back from a trip to Japan.
The Japanese could figure out how to provide their citizens high speed rail.
There’s no reason why we can’t.
Don’t let Pierre Poilievre deny Canadians high speed rail.
If we need help and advice from the Japanese, let’s get it.
English
@AmbDanFried The Naval approaches on each side of Greenland has been an underwater vulnerability for the US Eastern Seaboard for more than a half century.
The Dutch refused to or simply couldn't secure those waters, leaving the US vulnerable to Arctic surprise.
Enough of THAT.
English
US planes are conducting operations in Iran from UK bases. And “sold us out” seems a bit much. If the US valued a coalition for this war, it could have tried to build one instead of threatening to attack Denmark and trashing our coalition allies from Iraq & Afghanistan.

@allesgut_ali @Arkasiraee @catturd2 The tech feeding every ASML machine originate from companies all over the world.
The source for the laser which etches the current state of the art comes from IBM Research in New York, for example.
English
@atomstune @Arkasiraee @catturd2 The US is incredible at scaling, but Europe provides the bedrock. From the mRNA revolution and GLP-1 health breakthroughs to the Dutch ASML tech powering the AI boom, European R&D is often the engine. It’s more of a global partnership where both sides are stronger togather.
English
- Pull out of NATO.
- Close all bases and remove all military personal from the UK, Germany, Spain, and France.
- Never protect these countries again.
- Stop all trade with these countries. ZERO.
- Refuse to share any military technologies and don't allow to them to buy any military equipment. Ever.
- Don't share any intelligence with them. NONE.
- Tell them they have to provide 100% of weapons and money to Ukraine.
- Cut them off completely.
English
@allesgut_ali @Arkasiraee @catturd2 What was the last new industry which originated in Europe? The US has spawned several in the last few years. Europe only spawned more REGULATIONS.
English
@atomstune @Arkasiraee @catturd2 Settlement rates = network lock-in, not utility. The Petrodollar propped it up, but BRICS+ & a $39T debt trap are raising unansweravle questions. Plus, US tech is dependent on EU lithography & German chems. The USD is a lagging indicator of a fading hegemony.

@ailanyus Actual purpose and arguably achieved purpose...
WEAKEN CHINA to ultimately discourage the larger Pacific clash later.
If NO conflict with China results then definitely worth it.
English
Do you actually think ending Iran's regime is worth the higher gas prices?
English
@zundamotisuki The right wing lives life. The left wing complains about life.
One side is attracted to media, the other finds it a meaningless distraction.
English
@StealthQE4 Purpose: WEAKEN CHINA.
Venezuela, Iran, Panama...
All weaken China because...???
English
Morally I have a severe problem with this.
I don’t think we are the “good guys” anymore.
We’ve gone full rogue.
The events I’m watching are things that I never thought I’d see us ever do to anyone.
It’s really disturbing

@1776General_ Were they capable generals or were they progressive generals?

@AaronBastani Didn't the French JUST riot over a proposal to increase the retirement age by one year for fiscal balance purposes?
A unified EU military funded by the EU, would have to radically reduce such spending to allow it to happen.
Not likely.
English
I think the United States military leaving Europe would be the best thing to happen to the continent in decades.
It would be challenging, and unserious politicians would be found out much more quickly. But that’s a good thing.
It would be our Independence Day.
English
@McFaul Contrast with TODAY-
Trump REALLY LIKES Milei in Argentina, he's one of Trump's favorite people.
On the other hand Starmer just denied basing rights to the US military over Iran.
AND Trump happens to have another fleet in the southern Atlantic right now
English
@saitama_5992 Japan should remain, exclusively, Japanese.
You SHOULD really get started making more babies though.

@DrNeilStone 4 years of OPEN BORDERS without even health screenings has delivered these results.
Your revisionist outrage is noted though.
Good one.
English
@AmocoCadizz @pl_european Your "point of view" is being "informed" from somewhere and it appears to substantially differ from other observations you appear to be unaware of...
That seems like criticism of your media is warranted..
English
@atomstune @pl_european Bro talking about European media while waffling pure maga bullshit
English
Why is the US acting like the Soviet Union in its last years? Massive defence spending, cutting absolutely everything to fund the military, corruption.
English
@Landeur the IRGC shot 40,000 girls and boys a week or two ago to absolute silence from those claiming alarm now...
You don't have any credibility to complain anymore.
English
Is that what America has become?
You don't even care when a school full of children is bombed?
I can understand arguments around the fog of war, or targeting errors, but to literally not care about packed schools being blown up is pretty disgusting.
Robert III of Artois 🇺🇸@RobertOfArtois
@Landeur Hahaha wahhhh keep crying about the school. Who cares

@ajlamesa A LARGER UNION lacking innovative prowess and suffering a diminishing average IQ (thanks Muslim influx).
That sounds very intimidating.

The United States can absolutely do what MAGA wants and leave NATO, pulling all our troops out of Europe. But I don’t think the people demanding that right now will like the deals a future European Union will make with China, Russia, and Iran. Once Ukraine, the UK, and the Balkan countries join, the EU would have a population almost twice that of the United States — and Brussels wouldn’t give a shit about Lindsey Graham’s threats.
