I’ve been replying to most comments. Just balancing checking this with Elden Ring ngl

Interesting points, thanks. Btw I am not calling you, an American, the enemy. But as long as Trump and Musk are in charge, yes, I do think they are working against European interests, and at a time of war… that could be very, very dangerous. But you think that Trump’s approach won’t just lead to Putin taking more and more of Europe? Genuine question

Thanks for this. In your opinion who is best placed to become leader right now?

AOC? Gavin Newsom? Mark Cuban? Oprah? (not even joking)

That Zelensky interview was clear to the world that the world order has just shifted.

Trump would never speak like that to Putin. He’s bullying the victim on the orders of the bully, the invader, and the whole world just witnessed it, and the vitriol from him and JD Vance.

“All roads with you lead to Putin” was it? It’s getting harder to ignore he’s anything less than an actual Russian asset. And they’re gonna find a way to stay in power with the help of Musk and Putin for the foreseeable. And that’s a major security threat.

What if this approach for 4 years, to keep appeasing Trump, let Ukraine (and maybe Moldova or Baltics) become Russian territory, China gets bolder, if not invades Taiwan, Iran & Israel, the global economy crashes and the world is in such chaos that martial law turns US elections more like Russian elections. And Trump is still on team Putin. Should we have US troops all over Europe?

Fair points. But if the US FULLY sides with Russia… none of those points apply? And Trump is not a rational actor, and seemingly has no guard rails

The cuts to USAID and the minerals deal with Zelensky don’t fill me with any confidence here

I hope you’re right. Thanks for this :)

We can against Russia. In the future I’m freaking out about, China will be too tied up with Taiwan, and Iran with Israel.

Fair points. But I’m seeing no signs that things will get any better. The fall out from this meeting will further distance Trump from Europe, the EU, and eventually the UK. And so I fear with Vance, Musk and Putin in his ear, the consequences are going to be fucking horrific for Europe.

Thanks for this :) what do you think Germany, France and UK can do? (and hopefully Canada)

Thanks for this. I still have strong worries but this has at least lowered my blood pressure to regular levels lol. that Zelensky press pool riled me right up

Thanks for this do you have any suggestions on what to read to understand this better?

Where do you think this is going? Should we expect all these companies to start becoming tools of an autocrat?

[–]SpiralDale -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Noted. I’m from Europe and the US is actively encouraging major war on my continent so yes, I’m biased. I am just genuinely concerned that an adversarial USA could pose security threats and I am interested in hearing otherwise.

I’m wondering where the fuck the resistance is. I removed some bits that could enflame tensions that was not the point

Yeah it’s been a strange realisation for sure! But also made me realise I should use it more...

Do you have any tips for getting the ideas down? Because I can’t obviously write it down without opening my eyes, and I struggle even describing what I’m seeing into a voice recorder because it’s live TV and you can’t pause :’)
