This is terrifying! Imagine if all those resources were spent on building a global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Heat, fire and wind may kill us before WWIII.
“ Merkel believed, as long as Europe and Russia benefit financially from cooperation, there would never be war again. And there was no more need for a German army.”
When you’re ignorant of basic history you make the above conclusion, always. There was a massive increase in trade relations between the warring parties before WW1 and even WW2. If this were true China and the U.S. should be besties.
As Americans through trump have taken themselves out of the ally stance then does that mean we in the UK and Europe will have to treat the Americans as our adversaries? Will it be once again a war "over there" but with the most powerful nation in the world being on the side of our enemies?
Yes. The Republican agenda all this time was to undo the legislation that was put into place in the 1930s by FDR called The New Deal. It is what made the USA a superpower. That's what it is all about.
This should be spelled out to the citizens of the USA in no uncertain terms then! Their parents and grand parents may have died to keep them free and now they are selling those heroic acts out to a feckless human being who doesn't care about honour, destiny or friendship! All in under 12 months! What the hell happened to the US? I seriously want to know how one greedy man and a handful of billionaires with dollar signs in their eyes managed to pull this off under the gaze of a so called intelligent society?
If you are serious - I noticed that the schools didn't teach anything about ANY politics in the entire 12 years. Only the simple '3 equal parts to our govt' in about the 3rd grade. My class graduated in 1984. I've heard the same from others ever since. And if you care - I am a passionate intellectual, so this was highly concerning to me. I was even more concerned though that nobody else was understanding the underlying meaning of that! (unless you point it out & even then they'll think you're mental)
I'm 73. When I was a kid, Civics was a compulsory 9th grade course. We learned all about how our federal, state and local governments worked. We also had to take world geography. No more. Younger people know rich about the world or even our own country. It's an American tragedy.
Yes I am! Why did they not teach you civics? Most of my schooling was in the Uk with a few early years in France. Yet we were asked to give our opinions an currents affairs in the newspapers that week. My father even used to get me to read articles on the same subject in 3 or 4 different papers. He got the papers from all sides of the political spectrum and told me how to discern which one was closer to the “whole truth and nothing but the truth.” I admit they were similar but after a while you could figure out which way they leaned. I’ll give a for instance, your religious values and your politics are the same. If you were a “Christian” you voted Republican generally. If you were an agnostic or an atheist then you generally voted democrat. You also had Baptists and Evangelicals etc. They also voted right or left according to their religious views. That’s why they had Vance “decide” he would be a Catholic. That audience for their party’s belief is huge. Maybe even bigger than the Christians Nationalists! Parents should fill in the gaps in their children’s education if the school board won’t. It didn’t hurt me any. If anything it taught me to question! Asking questions and getting answers is what being “educated” is all about isn’t it?
IMO T Rump DID NOT win the last election. Lots of proof & ongoing investigations as to how Musk (even bragged about) how he could edit the ballot machines programs with one line. Trump also told his supporters- yr vote doesnt matter, we're going to win.
So
1) He wasnt legally voted in
2) THE MEDIA IS OWNED BY THE OLIGARCHS.
NPR & PBS folded in the US today. National public radio & Public Broadcasting Station.
Long time neutral media- defunct. "When you own the news, you can spin it any way you want."
Americans grew up believing & trusting our 3 main TV news broadcasters. ABC, NBC & CBS- with PBS.
Now those 3 are basically variations on Trump Backed Foxx news.
Americans are waking up, but we are inundated with Pro Trump propaganda.
3) Long hx in this Nation of Structural Patriarchy & Racism. Efforts from past Dems to rectify this were immediately dismantled by Trump.
4) Economy- Except for the top 3% of American Oligarchs- the rest of us are working 2 jobs, dodging homelessness, going without food or healthcare to get by. We have RECORD BREAKING numbers of Homeless in the Streets- never seen before.
Ppl are too busy just trying to feed their families to hav any energy left to really see what's happening, or fight. YET . Tide is turning.
5) Lies, Lies, Lies & more Lies. Plus heavily repeated slogans abt Nationalism, Sexism, Racism, & very twisted ideas of Christianity & "National & Christian Duty."
I mean, I could go on- but what is happening in the US is a very well thought out Internal attack on our Institutions & People, cleverly disguised as something else, & happening on so many fronts- health, economy, human rts, education, Housing, Food, Pollution & Environment, Unions & Wages-etc, etc.
Americans, the Real people, need the Worlds Help & Prayers right now. We the American People are for the majority NOT Trumpanzees. We are a Country facing attack from within.
We are However a Plucky Lot. Not over til the fat lady sings -
Thank you so much KayK for your response. You are so comprehending of all that this government is INTENTIONALLY trying to do to it's people. You're also right about it's not being over yet. I believe that with people like you sharing your views of what's happening within peoples hearts that they will definitely defeat this terrible man and his party. I'm not American but I do believe in freedom. I don't believe you can take it away from people who have known it all their lives. As for the future. To stop this happening again people have to start talking about racism and corporate wealth and how because of it this man was able to control so many. If you miss this opportunity, then there will be another "messiah" waiting in the wings willing to allow peoples prejudices to do what little dick has done. Yes I'm also convinced he fraudulently won the election. He IS a very dangerous but essentially stupid man but even more dangerous are those that are pulling his strings. They are the fanatics you have to stop when little dick finally unravels. His narcissism is getting worse, it may also kill him eventually, so be ready to take on the emerging threat as well. Thanks again for showing me that there are many who are aware and up for the fight.
It’s sort of hybrid, I think. GOP and our government, yes. But also the majority of people are actively against them too. You will have plenty of inside help, if that makes sense
Our current “president” is, honestly, preparing to side with Russia in the next international war. This ought to be prompting our military to take him out - to remove him and EVERY ONE OF HIS ENABLERS IN CONGRESS AS WELL HIS STAFF AND CABINET - all of whom are guilty of treason with him - all should be in shackles and leg irons and transported to Gitmo to await their military tribunals.
Our political system cannot do this. Only our military has the ability. They MUST honor their oath and take the entire monstrosity far away:
The countries are learning to defend themselves because they have been told that the US wanted to be sovereign and didn't want to always be the defender. Ie change in foreign political policy. The intent was that countries learn to defend themselves, so it makes perfect sense that they're doing that. It doesn't mean they know something that our intelligence doesn't.

(Clarify- didn't mean yes to the war part!!)

Does to me ('-')
I'm pretty sure this was our final test, and we flunked it.
World War 3!
I think it is WWIV; putin won WWIII.
Well, the fascists are, for sure.
WOW... Just WOW...
I suppose we shall see...
