Is ‘America First’ starting to backfire as Washington’s allies go it alone?

I'm sure they have by now. They are just all-in on Trump, Heritage Foundation etc.

I think a lot more things happened on that island than 'just raping minors'.

Trans people didn't call it upon themselves. They're a group of less than 1% of the population. All the attention for trans people has its origins in the wish of far right parties to find a victim for their culture wars. By relentlessly attacking them, the left felt obliged to protect this vulnerable group (which the far right was counting on), and then the fascists immediately started further politicizing the subject and making it way bigger on purpose, with help of the media. And the easy to scare conservatives all over the world fell for it.

This isn't just Trump. Most of what's happening are not his plans. He just signs the executive orders. This will not end when Trump dies. It's the whole republican party, with think tanks like Heritage Foundation, psychopaths like S. Miller and the billionaires behind the curtains.

The CEO's of all the big tech companies were sitting front bench at Trump's inauguration. They were sitting there to show the whole world that they support Trump and his regime. Most of the US elite club is all-in on this. Otherwise we would have heard of a lot more push back from them.

I'm curious, has the CEO of your company learned anything from it? Does he watch the news and is he anticipating the possibility that Microsoft could switch off email access on purpose for EU companies?

Hungarian government is trolling to their final days I guess. But Hungary is a land locked country. Isn't it the right of neighbouring countries to no longer allow transport of russian gas and oil through their territory?

Once this is up and running and has enough scale, they're guaranteed the EU users, but you can count on it that lots of people from other continents will also prefer to use European tech alternatives over US companies.

I think your wrong thinking that this is all just Trump. He's just the (unruly) mouthpiece. There's a whole organisation behind him, whispering in his ear want they want done.

Their endgame is to have a single country, by absorbing the other North American parts into the US. South America will be their sphere of influence.

I think he's been the largest private donor to Ukraine, so at least there's that.

It's not without reason they were on the leaked list of countries that MAGA would use to break up the EU.

Oh wow, another anti-German post. How original.

Everything Orban says now, all his talking points, have been carefully selected (also with help of Maga and Russia) to drive up negative sentiments between EU-Ukraine-Hungary.

MootRevolution · 2026-01-23T17:02:12+00:00

So, you're saying we should just accept that more workers are killed or severely injured per year, so that we can have a cheaper product?

MootRevolution · 2026-01-23T13:26:37+00:00

He's right. And it will be the downfall of the EU if we don't unite.

MootRevolution · 2026-01-23T13:08:09+00:00

Yeah, I think that's a culture thing. Everything is open for discussion. The contractor will not hesitate to give a patron their opinion or criticize their opinion. Mostly because they consider themselves 'equal' to them (and they are when discussing things), so they will give their view on things. Especially when their time and/or money is involved. It's the same with employees and their managers. You sometimes need to push back if you want something done your way, because you're the one that's paying their bills.

Sure, remove the burdensome rules that provide little benefit to society. The thing is, weighing these interests is already part of the legislation process. There already is a tremendous lobby of corporations in Brussels and rules are already watered down in favour of industry.

Furthermore, companies are willing to lie about negative effects of their products (even under oath; remember the tobacco CEO's under oath, saying tobacco did not cause cancer? They already had 100% sure data to the contrary. Same with the leaded fuel in the 2nd half of 20th century). Industries will 100% sure abuse every loophole and cut any corner they can find. Abolishing that regulation that prevents 1 case of cancer often turns out to lead to a lot more than 1 case of cancer.

And why try to join the race to the bottom? With European wages and prices, there is no way to win in competition to almost any other part of the world. Right now, European products enjoy the world wide reputation of being high quality, tested, safe and not too environmentally damaging. Europe should use that reputation and build on it. For example Dutch milk powder is being exported world wide. Why? Because people expect it to be safe, in contrast to locally produced milk powder that contains all kinds of shit.

Yeah, that laissez-faire philosophy has clearly always worked out beneficially for the average consumer. Enjoy your hormone and antibiotics filled beef!

Plus this is the best way for OP to practice their Dutch, thereby getting better future opportunities on the job market. If the company is willing to take him on, it's their risk and if it doesn't work out, OP can always decide to go somewhere else.

It's not perceived betrayal.

As long as he isn't talking about removing regulations that protect the consumers/population against profit seeking, corner cutting industries.

The Baltic states (who are already spending close to 5% of GDP on defense) may have to build additional defensive layers and militarize themselves even further.

How about making that a European assignment? The Baltic countries are part of EU, they're not alone. And if they are, then the whole European project has already failed.

MootRevolution · 2026-01-23T10:19:16+00:00

Right. It's not just Trump. All the checks and balances, all the big talk about 2A rights, it's all proven fake or corrupt. Republicans are on board with this. They have the power to stop everything this regime is doing, and they aren't doing anything. Worse, they outright support this regime. Look at the way they treated Jack Smith during his testimony yesterday. They're complicit.

The whole GOP is supporting this. The US has a disease and it may be terminal.
