    Honestly they’re correct. Putin at least seems somewhat predictable and he’s definitely more intelligent.

    Putin is finished, he is a walking dead together with the Russian Empire he wanted to create.
    But we need to support Ukraine more, so this stupid war isn’t prolonged more than necessary. When the war is over both Ukraine and EU will prosper.

      We need to help Ukraine win ASAP so that we can redirect our military resources to defending ourselves against the United States.

        Unnecessary distinction. Trump is choosing to do all of this. A lot of people probably have a lot of dirt on him, but he’s still making his own choices.

          Given his current level of lucidity, I doubt he’s capable of independent thought as he still has some hangers-on and aides who appear incompetent but actually have plans of their own, pushing the bastard to approve of their ideas. That he is also but a product of a game long played by vested interests: Roger Stone, the anti-climate Mercers, the Christofascists behind Project 2025, the oligarchy in general, and of course the Chinese and Russians who’d found him the perfect agent of influence.

          He’s so fucking smug, so convinced to be winning but is truly isolating and destroying the US from the inside and indirectly benefiting the new hegemonies realigning the world order.

        I think we’ve reached the point in geopolitics where there’s half-a-dozen hands pulling on any one person’s strings.

    US invading Iran is similar to Putin invading Brazil btw distance-wise. Which one can you imagine ever happening?

      We also inspired the top-troglodyte who sparked WW2 with our treatment of indigenous people and the treatment of migrants at the Southern Border.

      And then hired a bunch of the Nazis after WW2, like the first head of NASA who admitted to using forced labor and engineered (some of? all of?) the rockets shot at Britain.

    Putin and Trump are the same threat, just look at what they do in Hungary.

    well, the world country hate index has China first, US second and Russia third. China is working to change their image, donations of solar panels in Africa etc , Russia and the US are active in making their world image worse and in making the world worse.

    I assume with all these shenanigans, we’ll see the US vault to the top.

    but as an Australian, I’d agree with Spain, The US and Russia are now our enemies, China is not in anyway an ally of course but more like Vietnam etc

    So do we Americans.

    Let these escapades serve as an example that, outside of the Epstein Class, people’s only power here is local.

      I think they all see it, but are scared to say it out loud in case he gets activated. Like when you see youre being watched late at night. You dont run and scream immediately you sort of walk a tiny bit faster trying not to let them know that you know because that’ll trigger the chase.

    Not just peace but business in general. The man is fucking famous for bankrupting everything he touches for crying out loud
