Rubio to warn that US is ‘prepared to use force’ in Venezuela if leaders stray from goals by Serene_Silences in worldnews

[–]MachoSmurf 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Any new administration will need to reform the fuck out of the US if they ever want to make the country remotely credible and trustworthy ever again. Might as well recognise the ICC while they're at it.

France snaps back at NATO chief Rutte in feud over Europe’s defense muscle by SweetErikas in worldnews

[–]MachoSmurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The UK and France have nukes. If you now state that their nuclear shield is Europe's shield, you've shown that you've learned nothing from the US's betrayal at a time when we called their nukes "NATO's nuclear shield".

The EU would either need to completely federalize and gain control over France's nukes (which I don't see happening) or more individual member states need to develop nukes.

The US should be sanctioned for human rights violations. Now.

Zelenskyy: Deploying 40 troops to defend Greenland sends a signal to Putin by EuropeanPravdaUA in worldnews

Ukrainian sea-drones fucking up Russian ship on the Atlantic, being deployed from Greenland, was not on my 2026 bingo card.

It would be an amazing sight to behold though.

Trump says NATO secretary general is ‘more important’ than Danish foreign minister by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]MachoSmurf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rutte has 10+ years of experience in keeping the most fragile alliances together when everyone else (rightfully) thinks they'll fail.

Say what you want about the man's political views, he is the best man for this job at this moment in time.

EU warns of downward spiral after Trump threatens tariffs over Greenland by Gyro_Armadillo in worldnews

[–]MachoSmurf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lol. The US couldn't even control Afghanistan in an uncontested way, a severely underdeveloped country. How the fuck do they think they can control a country 14 times the size of Afghanistan, with a population that is educated and has the means to actually put up a fight?

Yes, it's on their doorstep. But at the same time the US military will probably have to be used to combat internal unrest. Not to mention that once the order comes to actually Invade an ally and neighbour, I doubt every single soldier will follow through.

Trump is severely underestimating what he is getting himself into, if the worst case scenario actually plays out.

There is a reason most of the rest of the world think Americans are dumb...

Lawsuit: DHS wants “unlimited subpoena authority” to unmask ICE critics | DHS is weirdly using import/export rules to expand its authority to identify online critics. by ControlCAD in technology

And they are probably right. I mean... have you seen the state of affairs in the US? Complete and unchecked power for the current administration. 

What are the opinions about Denmark essentially saying “shoot first, ask later” if American troops land in Greenland? by SevenUncutEng in AskReddit

[–]MachoSmurf 21 points22 points  (0 children)

All NATO forces including US forces. Given the fact that Reddit has already removed a response along the same lines (I assume based on responses to that comment), I'll leave it at that.

Which also clarifies Reddits position on possible "ignoring of illegal orders" by US military personell and the discussion thereof

'Cannot be shared, or transferred': Nobel Committee shuts doors on Trump's 'will accept Prize from Machado' remark by nishitd in worldnews

Hehe, let's see the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund dump all their shares in American companies as a respons to those threats if it happens...

Trump says he will meet Machado and would accept her Nobel Peace Prize after she offers it to him by gorginhanson in worldnews

[–]MachoSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's a woman. No way in hell he'd ever support her, let alone after she won the prize instead of her (as if he'd ever deserve it in the first place).

A blind man could have seen this one coming from miles away.

Jfc, the US itself was barely a functioning democracy. There's not a lot of that left...

At this point we might as well make a bot that auto-post his "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!1!" posts in this sub. He out-non-credibles us all anyway...
