@anders_aslund Our Founders anticipated someone like Trump getting in the White House, what they didn't anticipate was both the Congress and Supreme Court abdicating their responsibilities and letting that person run amok without checks or balances.
They betrayed those in Afghanistan who trusted them.
They betrayed Ukraine by withdrawing support, even though they had guaranteed the inviolability of its borders.
They betrayed Denmark, their longtime ally, by demanding Greenland from them.
They betrayed Taiwan by calling it โa small and distant islandโ while in China, increasing the risk of a Chinese attack.
Now they are withdrawing their troops from Romania and Poland, leaving Eastern Europe on its own.
We will manage on our own, because for centuries we have known one thing: if you want to rely on something, rely on yourself. But these betrayals will forever strip the United States of its role as a superpower. What kind of superpower does not keep its word? In our part of the world, a new superpower must rise to take Americaโs place: Europe.
Today is the birthday of Oleksandr Matsievskyi.
A warrior who, looking into the eyes of the enemy, took a drag on a cigarette and said "Slava Ukraini".
This act will be remembered for centuries.
Eternal memory to Hero ๐๐ซก๐บ๐ฆ
@joni_askola Europe really needs to send military observers to Ukraine to see the new warfare for themselves. Drones have changed how war works as dramatically as manned aircraft changed warfare in WW1.

Republicans: Dems hate police.
Democrats: Women should have the right to choose.
Republicans: Dems want to kill babies.

Democrats: We should wear masks to protect others.
Republicans: Dems want to take away your freedom.
Democrats: We should have background checks.
Republicans: Dems want to take your guns.
Democrats: Feds should not be policing in cities.

Democrats: People should have a living wage.
Republicans: Dems want to give everyone free stuff.
Democrats: We want religious freedom for everyone.
Republicans: Dems want Sharia Law.
Democrats: Taxes should be used for the benefit of everyone

Ainโt this the whole truth!
F*ck you MAGA republicans with your spreading of misinformation.
Suck on this๐๐ผ
#Midterms2026 here we come. ๐
@levant5329 This "Administration" continues to amaze me, they simply can't find a single capable, competent person out of the nearly 350 million people inhabiting the USA.
@Microinteracti1 Truly strange, as the "war" they're trying to (or not trying) to wage in Iran isn't one that requires either one. Putin probably told him to cut off the Baltic states.
The moment is too big for silence.
Veterans were arrested today in peaceful civil disobedience.
We were told Iraq would be quick. We buried our friends for 20 years.
No war with Iran. Not in our name. Not again.
