It seems US is tired of being a strong wealthy global superpower, financed by loans in petrodollars. Soon the US will be a bankrupt weak local power that will have to pay most of its GDP for skyrocketing interests, as the world will no longer finance a country gone rogue. Sad!

The U.S. is in a strategic catastrophe!
The UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar, together with China, have begun negotiations with Iran, with China taking the lead. And Trump has announced that he is stepping aside.
This means the dollar is screwed. China, as a mediator, will demand that the yuan become the currency for oil trade, and we can bury the dollar and declare a U.S. default in 15 years. )) It only seems like that’s far away.
Just one incompetent person with six bankruptcies behind him managed to bring such a country to its knees in one year. ((
Applause to those who voted for him!!!

Let’s be absolutely clear about what just happened. The United States of America, the country that built NATO, that spent half a century telling Europe that Russia was the enemy, that asked young men from Normandy to Kabul to die for the idea of a free world, has now chosen Russia.

Not drifted toward. Not flirted with. Chosen. Trump calls Putin a genius. Cuts military aid to Ukraine mid-war. Blocks sanctions. Parrots Kremlin talking points about NATO aggression. Invites Lukashenko, Russia’s obedient attack dog, to found a peace board while Russian missiles are still hitting Ukrainian hospitals.

The continent that actually shares a border with this threat. That actually absorbs the refugees. That actually lives under the shadow of what happens when Russia decides a neighbor isn’t really a country. Europe was told for eighty years to trust Washington. To buy American weapons. To let American generals run the alliance. To believe that when it really mattered, America would be there.

It wasn’t there!

It picked the other side and sent an invoice.

Normal Americans, the ones who actually believe in something, should understand what this looks like from here. It looks like betrayal. Clean, deliberate, and permanent. Not a misunderstanding. Not a bad week in foreign policy. A choice.

Europe is building its own army, its own supply chains, its own future.
Because one man wanted to golf with autocrats.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Australia is one of the world’s most important producers of critical raw material.

In contrast, Europe is one of the world’s major users.

So today, we agreed on four major projects, covering production of rare earths, lithium, and tungsten.

And we also agreed to launch negotiations on Australia’s accession to Horizon, Europe’s flagship innovation programme!

🚨🚨🇺🇸 USA Falls Off the Democracy Map. For the first time in 50 years, the United States no longer appears on the list of liberal democracies. In a single year, the country has fallen from 20th to 51st place. The V-Dem Institute calls it one of the most dramatic declines ever recorded.

The fall does not happen in a vacuum.
Brendan Carr is not among the most recognizable names in Trump’s orbit, but the head of the federal media regulator FCC made waves this weekend with a direct threat to the country’s broadcasters. Networks spreading what he called fake news were told they have an opportunity to correct course before their license renewals come up. The message was plain enough: fall in line, or face the consequences.

Staffan Lindberg, founding director of the V-Dem Institute, is blunt about what this means. Across so many dimensions, the retreat has been so severe that the United States can no longer be counted as a democracy. The term he uses is “electoral autocracy” – a system without genuine democracy that still goes through the motions of holding elections. Like Putin’s Russia.
What concerns him most: the assault on free speech, illustrated by the FCC chief’s latest threat.

An extreme concentration of power in the president’s hands. A Congress that, in Lindberg’s words, has abdicated. And Trump’s use of paramilitary forces in American cities – ICE soldiers who killed two civilian protesters this past winter.

“The United States used to talk about being a global beacon for democracy and freedom,” Lindberg says. “That idea has now been erased.”

@JPLindsley Big mistake! Europe should stay out of Trumps war against Iran. Trump should earn his failure himself

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:

• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.

• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.

I cannot tell you just how significant this speech is by Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission.

Europe is in my view about to call Trump’s bluff and I really don’t think Americans understand just how catastrophically damaging this could be in terms of long term economic impact.

Europe has had enough, as have NATO allies. Trump is about to burn 75 years of close partnerships to satisfy his pathetic ego.

Buckle up folks, because I wouldn’t like to be carrying $38.5 trillion of debt right now. Do you know who supplies 75% of all America’s insulin right now? That would be Denmark 🇩🇰

In addition Novo Nordisk is the Danish manufacturer of Ozempic. The Danish Prime Minister says everything is on the table.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: Trump horrifies world leaders at Davos by claiming that "sometimes you need a dictator" in a deranged senile rant after his disastrous "special address."

The American presidency will never recover from this...

"We had a good speech... We got great reviews. I can't believe it. We got good reviews on that speech... Usually they say 'He's a horrible, dictator type person.' I'm a dictator. But sometimes you need a dictator," Trump said at the Davos CEO Reception and Dinner.

"But they didn't say that in this case and, and... No. It's common sense. It's all based on common sense, you know? It's not conservative or liberal or anything else. It's mostly, I'd say 95% common sense and that's what we have," he added.

Back here in reality, Trump's speech was met with a mixture of horror, disbelief, and mockery. He managed to mix up Greenland and Iceland, claimed that NATO countries once called him "daddy," and whined that Canada was "ungrateful." It was a meandering rhetorical soup of paranoid delusions, fascist demands, weaponized idiocy, and unadulterated cognitive decline.

As for his claim that sometimes "you need a dictator," it's hard to imagine a more unAmerican sentiment. This man despises the most sacred principles of the country that he was elected to lead. This horrifying sentiment of his could perhaps be dismissed if he weren't actually trying to become a dictator. He's flooded our streets with murderous masked enforcers, illegally kidnapped a foreign leader, and is now attempting to conquer Greenland. This monster belongs in prison.

Please ❤️ and share to demand that Trump be impeached!

@notsoblackcatt @BohuslavskaKate What do you mean? Of course it is a huge tragedy for Ukraine that Russia is murdering, bombing and carrying out genocide in Ukraine. Everybody knows that. And Russia should stop it, give back illegally occupied territory, pay reparations, and send Putin and his gang to prison.

[Nicolai Skjoldby 🇩🇰🇪🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦🇬🇪 @nicskjold]

@RepLuna Congratulations! You achieved what you already had in Greenland! And on top of it you ruined NATO, sent Europe and Canada into the arms of China, and ruined the last bit of respect your former allies had for the US. You made it clear that the US is a declining power.
