“The US spent 8 decades building an international system of rules, norms and values that has produced the longest period of great power peace and global prosperity in human history.” Fareed Zakaria on how upending the world order will only weaken America: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
We need to drag Him and Vance and Musk out of the WH.
Well you have 500 mio privately owned weapons in MAGAland! Maybe it’s about time to put them to use. The White House has been burn and presidents have been assassinated before
Then let’s do it. The French did it.
And every one of the Republicans in Congress and SCOTUS who have enabled this shit.
And they destroyed it in 53 days of the mango Mussolini. Trump is such a POS.
When will we realize that the point of all this chaos is to "weaken America". There's a plan and it's not about 'efficiency'. If Trump isn't a Russian agent he needs to stop acting like one. If Republicans aren't traitors as well, they need to find the courage to stop him.
Ha has proven again and again that he is a Russian agent. Tariffs are one thing, but everything else around that reeks of disruption of the free world. This isn't art of a deal, this is art of subversion of US power.
#OrangeRasputin
Eight decades that included the Iraq War, the Viet Nam War, the twenty-year war in Afghanistan, a three-year proxy war in Ukraine, GENOCIDE in the Middle East, and the shielding of the USA's client state from international law, as well as from any international system of rules, norms, and values.
Ooops, Richard was just looking at his "Prosperity" column.
Makes sense. Weakening America is clearly DJT’s priority, other than enriching himself and his oligarchs. It’s what Vlad wants him to do.
'Norms and Values'? Seems like the US has been involved in bombing an awful lot of people in the process.
We have to stop Project 2025 and its authors. Trump is no more than a dementia-ridden puppet at this stage. Gosh, who could we ask to unite us?
Reposted, thank you.
Lolololol you say he’s dimentia ridden???? Where were you during Bidens reign???????
Bernie is coming to Colorado. Going to Denver Friday!!
I know and @aoc.bsky.social will be there too!!! I can’t wait
Not sure the non-sycophantic nations will seek out backing or trade dependency with other anti-liberal autocratic nations instead. The good outcome will be that new and strong relationships will flourish based on common values, not only mutual economic benefits. Why cooperate with the untrustworthy?
Politic...tic...tic... has the countdown to WWIII begun? The entire planet appears to be in thrall to an absolute moron. Trump.
I can't imagine live in his head-if he weren't such a dangerous entitled turd, I'd almost feel sorry for him.

"... great power peace and global prosperity..." 🤔
REALLY 🤷♀️ Americans have the lowest life expectancy at birth and the highest rates of preventable and treatable deaths. The U.S. has the highest rates of excess deaths related to the COVID-19 pandemic for people under 75. The list goes on… 🤪 Not exactly a leader in treating people with dignity 😡
We aren't just going back to the 50s. We are going back to the DARK AGES. Oh people, we must flood our streets. We can't let this happen.
You won't do anything about it little baby, same with so many lefty "fighters" in social media.
What are you doing maga? Oh that’s right enabling a fucking demented old man.
Biden was actually demented, yet you clapped and cheered because he was a puppet.
Trump is a rapist and yet you clapped and cheered

Yes. This is America's dark age, we just need to make it shorter.
Trump works for Putin. It’s the only explanation
The end of the empire is nigh.
America still has nukes and a powerful military. The phasing out of soft power does not instill hope.
That's what trump wants. Anything to please Putin.
It's shamefully embarrassing. I hope our foreign friends give us individual grace. This is not the America I am proud to call my country.
It has already toppled. The idea of world order is an outdated norm. We need to work globally to save our planet and have equality for all.
We are no longer safe.
How many things can an idiot break!
www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
America never stuck by those rules, you pathetic whitewasher.
There are no ethical billionaires
PAYWALL!
The America we used to know will be gone before the end of the year. Dark days for the USA and yet Trump fans still celebrate every move he makes.
It would be a good thing if the US stopped being the most dangerous Country in the World.
Like in any cult, one’s own needs, wants, rights, welfare etc. is sacrificed in favour of the leaders. Trump has just hijacked the US of A brainwashing that’s been going on for decades.
He wouldn’t be clever enough himself. I wonder if we ever find out who really orchestrated this.
Moscow.
100%
"We will destroy your country from within, without firing a single bullet." --- Nikita Khrushchev, Russia.
Putin. Duh.
Its not “if” another 9/11 will happen but “when”
And this time we will be alone
We need the US. But “8 decades building a system of rules and values”? Iran (1953) Guatemala (1954) Kongo (1961) Brasilien (1964) Indonesien (1965-66) Chile (1973) Argentinien (1976) El Salvador (1980er) Nicaragua (1980er) Grenada (1983) usw.
Which begs the question, do we really need the US.
Thank you! I came here to say the same thing. Iran might have been a democracy today if not for the meddling of the U.S. and Britain.
We need to be honest that it wasn't just a single player game and there's enough blame to spread it a bit. Soviets deserve their fair share as do to a degree British and even French. But you are correct to point that out.
All the bad said about America is true. But it was still the greatest nation to ever exist on earth for ~80 years. Let's not pretend America can slip off, and all will be better. It was deeply flawed while it was on top, and everything will be worse now.
Agreed. And all this bashing of America only feeds Maga. You’re making their point when you throw America under the bus.
Too many Americans don’t know their own national history. MAGA wants to build on that ignorance and destroy evidence of history that conflicts with their priorities-consequence be damned. MAGA’s play book is to rewrite the present, so they can rewrite history, so they can justify the unjustifiable.
Yeah, this is definitely what authoritarian regime do. Sadly, Maga doesn’t realize that that’s what’s happening. It’s because they’re uneducated and they don’t understand world events, much less world history. That’s what makes them dangerous and that’s why Trump loves them.
1/? Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison: Stupidity is a more dangerous enemy of the good than malice. One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. Against stupidity we are defenseless. Neither protests nor force accomplish anything here;
🎯 So well said. Thank you for posting this insight. 🙏🏼
I just ran across this excellent video discussing the ideas of Deitrich Bonhoeffer, Hanna Arend, Bertrand Russell, and their analysis of the dynamics of stupidity, group think, rewards of group think, degradation of critical thinking… Almost all of your posts share my concerns. Stronger together.
Powerful. Love these thinkers
It is enlightening. I’ve been in the habit of believing MAGA followers to be, in the best case, ignorant; but in fact they are willfully ignorant. Willfully ignorant is the “stupid”of which Bonhoeffer speaks. Without a doubt the vast majority of MAGA faithful are dangerously stupid and manipulatable
2/? facts that contradict one’s prejudgment simply need not be believed – in such moments the stupid person even becomes critical – and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental.
3/4 In all this the stupid person, in contrast to the malicious one, is utterly self satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack. For that reason, greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one.

Don't forget that these 8 decades have created the unending Israeli-Palestinian conflict
The rules are the US can do whatever it wants and the values are oil and hegemony.
You missed Panama
VIETNAM, Laos, Cambodia 1963-1975
El Salvador Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan
We need to stop being passive and actually cause huge disruption and damage towards the government. Peaceful protests won’t do to it anymore.
The same “used record” keeps playing! History repeats itself! 2/3 of Germany were AGAINST the Hitler agenda, but their silence and inactions are responsible for all his horrible actions! THATS HOW 🇺🇸WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR.. ALL Americans will be held accountable..
That will be the day
The problem is that some people won't listen. It's the Dunning-Kruger crowd, and no matter how much people now say "we told you so", this crowd still keeps buggering on.
The same “used record” keeps playing! History repeats itself! 2/3 of Germany were AGAINST the Hitler agenda, but their silence and inactions are responsible for all his horrible actions! THATS HOW 🇺🇸WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR.. ALL Americans will be held accountable..
So Richard... how are YOU helping? Anyway you can disappear the wank panzer guy?
Ominous clouds are gathering! Trump is dismantling the world order that has ensured peace & prosperity since it was forged 85 years ago from the ashes of 80M lives. As allies lose trust in the USA for security, nuclear proliferation will accelerate, making the world even more dangerous and unstable
249 years of American freedom down the drain. America is a shell of it's former self
Freedom? Before women could vote, before they could have bank accounts, for non-whites, for all the indigenous people, for all the people who died in other countries where America was overthrowing democracies or causing unrest?
This is called electoral autocracy, as modeled by Orban in Hungary. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
The thick irony of this being in published in the @washingtonpost.com #PutinsPuppets
And trump will ruin that too
Every country around the world can see this you know those other places out side of Merica!.
yes, the US was flourishing in the system she created. DT is hurting the US as much as everbody else - except a hand full of rich.
The billionaires in this country and around the world don't care. They will be fine they've built their bunkers, and they've got their three or four houses around the world. So long as they have indentured servants to wait on them and make them feel like everything's wonderful, who cares right?
Weakening America is what trump wants. I believe that foreign powers will reward him richly from doing so. Also, he thinks Americans are too stupid to resist him. Let's prove him wrong.
Tragically, Putin’s disinformation and misinformation campaigns have been highly successful. He controls our “president”. And the unstable Musk has added chaos to the toxic, anti-democratic trajectory of our nation.
Yes, & all of us voters can now see new signs of Election 2024 vote manipulation that may well have reversed Kamala Harris & Tim Walz's true victory! Election Truth Alliance & its partners are working to #VerifyTheVote & get paper trail audits. See their new site: electiontruthalliance.org/videos.
It was televised! Trump sat right in the old office and said he didn’t think he was going to get elected “but then they rigged the election and I won”!
Too many anomalies for the outcome to be legit: they cheated.
Please check NC 300,000 Trump bullet ballots. Highest amount in NC history. That many Trump only marked ballots is very abnormal. Especially in a deep purple state that elected dems for top 4 state held offices during same cycle.
Hi, The suspected vote manipulation & signs now seem to indicate possible flipped votes, deleted votes, etc. instead as shared by Election Truth Alliance at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWSW.... At 24 min., they explain why Spoonamore's originally-suspected bullet votes don't seem to be the culprit now.
We’re doing exactly what Russia wants. So what does that make Trump?? We’re the USA not USSR! We want our democracy back. We want RULE OF LAW back. We want American values back. We are NOT making America great again - WE ARE MAKING RUSSIA GREAT AGAIN! Join & support those in the fight for democracy.
That's their goal...
Putin destroys America without firing a single shot!
Put the blame where it belongs...Trump and his handlers at work for years
But they have been working on it for decades. The cold war never stop. America just didn't realize it was still at war with Russia. The conquered US from within using Reagan's party. How ironic.
In the 1950s, Khrushchev said that Russia would take America without firing a shot, and that the Right Wing in the US was Russia's greatest ally.
😡😡😡
How only a small and self-centered mind could conceive that a system built by the USA and forced on the rest of the world was a period of peace and global prosperity
Key question is: are US pundits naturally or intentionally stupid? "upending the world order will only weaken America" is exactly trump's assignment from putin. What's so hard for them to understand about that? ...oh, yea, forget - US pundits assignment is to lie for trump/GOP and mislead Americans
All because Trump is too shitty a businessman to make money honestly.
Rules, norms and values= western capitalism imposed on nations with increasing violence if said nations try to get away from the USD. Peace= peace for US citizens if they’re wealthy enough to afford it. This is more nostalgia through rose colored glasses. Also, Billionaires shouldn’t exist.
But also don’t get me wrong, Trump is a monster who is gonna get us all 💀. And cue libs calling me a Russian bot for insulting business as usual. Sigh.

Fareed isnt wrong but he sure did softglove these assholes into office
The more I think about it the more I believe that Trump is the Manchurian Candidate.
Wow 😲 that's a pretty Big statement
You don't give a shit Dick. Fuck off clown. Why are you on here anyways? Can't get people to give a fuck about you on other platforms so you bring your terribleness over here?
Some have spent the last 5 decades trying to screw it up for others, some others the last decade trying to destroy it!
Will? Already has, people are just in denial. Can't unring a bell.
This is what happens when you have people who barely got through grade school voting.
The Banking Mobs paid for 3 world wars they gon get em the doomsday clock is at 89 seconds to midnight we are a hair's breath away from extinction while all the elites sit in their bunkers the rest us will burn in nuclear fires.
look up “Prospera”
you can see these kinda reflected in the campaign to revamp and make apartments out of old nuclear silos here in the USA so
Of course it will. It already has. Our former Allies are bolstering their defenses as I text.
Most of us whom are against this already know. Those whom are cheering are either ignorant or motivated by greed. They don’t care about long term or peace. They care about results now and creating a utopia that allows them to wield power unchallenged, ignoring anything problematic to that vision.
And it's all fallen apart before 90 days have passed.
🚨Look at my pinned post. We have to expose the tech reich. It’s their crazy ideas that are turning the States on its head! Lots of info there…. Knowledge is POWER! 🚨
He's too dumb to know that.
That’s why Krasnov, I mean Trump is doing it.
Of course it will. This is exactly what Russia had in mind when they chose this man child as their asset 25 years ago. He’s set out to do what they want, unless we can stop him. We simply cannot take four years of this.
That's a pretty intense thought...It's scary to think about the impact of these events.
Guys like this love any opportunuty performative virtue signaling. If the USA goes down Branson will just go live somehwere else.
And it’s in the nature of the vast majority of American people to stand up to those principles and return to those rules and norms of great power peace and global prosperity.
They want US weak. Easier for Putin to take us.
Oh. So WaPo is worried NOW? Fuck them.
@hcrichardson.bsky.social at what cost? The US is going bankrupt. 36 trillion and growing.
Fixable by getting rid of the George W Bush and the Trump tax cuts for the wealthy. That’s it. Don’t even have to go back to the Reagan years.
I'm all on board with the top tier of the tax bracket going back up over 40% or maybe even 50% but the real change needs to be to the loop hole that allows billionaires to take loans against the value of the stocks they own WITHOUT it being considered income. That's total horse shit.
Amen.
I've always been puzzled by how large corporations always carry debt, seemingly no matter what. Who does that? Debt always means interest, unless it is more than offset by taxes that don't exist. Thanks. An explanation that makes sense of it. And, I agree, it is total horseshit.
Tie in reversing a couple key SCOTUS rulings giving corporations human rights.
For sure. Citizens United needs to go.
word...
Do 5, 10, and 30 year pro forma showing exactly what happens. Get experts on a zoom call and get them written in advance. We’ve waited long enough. This is what we stand for ffs. Somebody has got to have put in some of this work. And a case can be made for a positive economic impact as a whole.
It’s a start. I’m beginning to think through answers on the real policy concerns. How can we find the best off the shelf legislation on Choice, limiting campaign contributions, universal healthcare, energy support, reduction in defense spending. We need to provide details and cost/benefit.
We need Bill Clinton back if you want to pay down the debt. Either that or just tell Muskrat to pay 20% and take the cap off SS contributions. Just kidding about Bill. Got ya goin though. Didn't I?
From George Washington to Clinton the US added 8 trillion to the deficit, Trump 45 alone added 7 trillion, wonder who got advantage out of that splurge because it sure as fuck wasn't the working/middle class.
I don't care who it was. The US is addicted to spending. Zero politicians care about slowing spending. From 2000 to 2010 the debt doubled. Then doubled again from 2010 to 2020. It simply cannot double again in the next 10 or even 20 years or we are all f'ed.
Wake the fuck up, the last 30 years have seen the biggest transfer of wealth from the young folks to the old, from the lower/middle class to the top 1%. It's not the spending per se that is the problem, it's who the money goes to. Transfer the wealth to uber-rich, they don't spend it, they hoard it.
For crying out loud, PAY ATTENTION. Tax the wealth instead raising taxes on middle class. There’s math on this, it ain’t hard
You don't need to be antagonistic. Maybe read a couple of the threads. I already commented on raising taxes and closing loopholes.
This is pretty scary. In general, we have not even considered the possible snowballing effects in the world regarding our alliances and others economic policies. This could explode with horrible destructive consequences--us against the world.
#TrumpDidThat
It weakens America and it weakens the whole world because one pathetic old man is 78 years old and knows he can't live much longer and wants his final revenge to be big.
78 year old toddler and internet troll rapist.
💯💯💯
Of course. But Trump is the ultimate Narcissist, fighting to stay out of jail. He never cared about the country, except as a vessel for his power. He burns down the structure of this Constitutional Republic with the glee of an arsonist, immune to contrition.

The only problem with this report is that the Washington Post is owned by Jeff Besos, so I always question motive. IOW him & his ilk are influencing this.
As a guy from the 🇬🇧 we are no longer sharing intelligence details with the US.. I wonder why???
And it only took 1 fucking fascist moron a month to destroy it. Pretty sad.
We're still here, trying to fight back however we can. Right now, I'm just beyond disgusted and embarrassed to be an American.
He thinks by reducing Government spending that domestic spending, private investment and manufacturing $’s will fill that void. Ain’t gonna happen. Plus, he’s looking to reduce tax revenues again by giving the top 5% the lion’s share of continued tax breaks.
Exactly!
He doesn't think, he does what he's told by Thiel, musk, and Yarvin. They kept him out of prison so he owes them our country
The Heritage Foundation and P25 too. Most of those EO’s he signed were directly from P25. You’re right, he’s really not interested in governing, he’s just signing shit and letting it go where it goes. It’s all part of the Dark Enlightenment.
I'm afraid so too, and they pulled the wool over so many people's eyes

That's exactly the point, though, isn't it? Trump thinks he's going to split the world between the USA, Russia, and China.
@richardbranson.bsky.social this has been a peace for the great powers at an immense cost to some smaller countries. These have been used for fighting proxy wars that have decimated populations, livelihoods, economies and cultures.
Just shows you how fragile these things are. They must be protected and nurtured, for they can be torn down in seconds.
You - and the op-ed writer - would be wise to read NNT's "Antifragile". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifra...
I agree, but Fareed Zakaria is hardly the ideal messenger for that message.
Too bad Fareed and his network spent the last decade normalizing and both-sidesing for Nazis and their deranged, corrupt sociopath fuhrer instead of warning Americans that the choice now was literally Democrats or fascism. Instead they pretended this was the GOP vs. Dems like we're in 1977.
Elections have consequences. Sadly, few people take their right to vote seriously enough to, at bare minimum, listen to what candidates say. Trump is doing what he said he would do. I'm not surprised by his actions. I am surprised by the # of people who voted for him and expected something different
True strength comes from stability, alliances, and a commitment to the values that built global prosperity. Undermining that foundation doesn’t make America stronger it isolates and weakens us. Fareed Zakaria lays it out clearly.
Many will be hurt. Some will be pulverized, so a few can profit
Spot on!
That is what DT is paid for by Russia and the proxy oligarchs in America.
Headline looks interesting, but I no longer read the Bezos Post.
The most violent country in the world with a trillion dollar army, that has displaced millions of refugees and destroyed so many lives with endless wars is no promoter of peace.
The US government is the largest arms dealer in the world and promotes violence worldwide with 40 percent of weapons sales annually and globally. Imperialism is about world dominance, not some system of rules.
^^^^this!
was just checking the replies to check someone had said this - well said. its like all the blinkered people saying ' isnt it terrible for Gaza now trump is in power ' after 15 months of Biden funding and defending genocide
He has systematicly (with a chainsaw) ruined America in less then 100 days😥
The experiment has ended.
Of course a reporter who carries water for the military industrial complex will spread that @politicsgirl.bsky.social
More simply, Trump hates all & virtually diagnosed a sociopathic narcissist by 40+ professionals. Motivated by vanity, greed and hatred - elected by oligarchy, fake Christians,racists,rural poor misled by Foxnews 8 years. US and democracy worldwide have never been more vulnerable to destruction.

Interesting that folks are listening to Richard Branson, finally. Before '16, he told the world what trump would do, he would be retaliatory and petty and try to 'get the people who 'wronged' him back. No one listened to him and here we are, only worse.
Sadly true, we need to take back our country. Land of the free, and home of the brave, not the rich living off the middle and lower classes.
Bezos allowed this to be published?! I’m shocked.
I am also surprised this article was in WaPo. I’m also disappointed. This paper is now compromised so should it really be supported?
because it's misdirective bullshit about a fantasy past, meant to whitewash that the billionaires as a class are allies of these Nazis. why wouldn't they print it
concur. he owns the Washington Post, so like... what is the actual message here? i respect Fareed Zakaria, haven't found a reason not to so i'm just confused... love your profile pic
It’s already done. We have lost our credibility and reliability for a generation at least.
In other words — or to put it another way — Donald J. Trump believes he knows better than eight decades of serious thinking and action from serious individuals and state powers on the question of international norms and values in the post-Second World War era. It's frankly ... unbelievable.
THIS can NOT happen. This POS trump has never fought in war to see the dangers. He knows exactly what he is doing, and it's all for your pansyass, Putin. 💩🥷🗑🖕🏻 #nototrump #notomusk #notofacism our ancestors fought against fascism.

What Trump wants is to weaken Europe, among other things...
It's not Trump that's spending millions of dollars all across Europe to fund right wing campaigns. Elon Musk is doing that though. Last November he financially supported every single Republican race for Congress, next election he says he will do the same and support state Republicans as well.
He is not the only one, for sure... shanealmgren.substack.com/p/democracy-...

The Global War on Terrorism never happened
That THING in the WH has only one good quality. He is able to expose the utter rot that has been festering in the US during those “8 decades” if not longer.
Yep ! Trump may be the face of the problem, but he is merely a symptom of that rot.

Weakens an America dependent on intl. cooperation and rules-based structures. An *America* envisaged as a lawless gangster-node supported by ultra violence and opaque crypto transactions, as what Trump's lot want, amid a capsized global order ... should be pretty robust.
Yeah all of that is bullshit. The US arms and backs 3/4 of the world's dictatorships, and has over the course of the past 75 years been responsible directly or indirectly for tens of millions of deaths in the name of protecting and growing its own market interest. Fuck all the way off.
Americas agenda for the last 8 decades has been to promote and support Democracies. If you applied the same logic they are using to deport Khalil to the Administration they should pack their bags, deport themselves and look for Moscow rentals.
Ah yes, that's why we supported the dictatorships in South Korea and South Vietnam. It's why we overthrew many socialist democratically elected governments in Latin America and South America. Then replaced them with dictatorships.
America's agenda was to promote American capital and crush Soviet alliances. What are you going on about?
They swallowed the propaganda
That same world order was how we got mixed up in Iraq. Which was something we used to now decry. But now we look back with fondness on that? All organizations and “orders” need to be reformed from time to time. It’s just that you don’t want a madman doing it.
Mission accomplished for agent Krasnov (Operation Mango Mussolini).
And I'll say it again, where are most all the assholes we voted in? Sitting quietly nodding their heads holding stupid ass signs?
And they didn't force them to negotiate in one of the few moments they held the cards, though I admit, I am not clear on how that would have played out given the Republucans willingness to let others suffer.
Will? Already is!
The oil/gas/coal industry are in their death throes. Gluts and cheap clean energy. GOP & DEMs CONS get their political power from fossil fuels so they create a geopolitical crisis with tech oligarchs, Putin, Harper, Orban, Modi & MBS Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and Israel IDF security/intel.
Richard Branson any chance you could buy the WaPo so good journalists have true freedom again??
He has enough money to fund an entirely new one but chooses not to. The billionaires are not our friends, never forget that. Branson can make all the claims he wants but he still has more in common with the fascists in power than with us.
#EndAllBillionaires. Yep, even her. Tax them out of the definition.
Every billionaire that exists is millions of people that have been failed by society
Totally, but he can afford to buy something from Bezos and allow decent people to work there. Being he isn’t in the US I don’t think he will toadie to Trump the way so many have at this time. So that distance would at least still return the WaPo to some level of journalistic freedom.
Richard Branson should also be taxed down to millionairehood, and relied on for nothing.
Wealth should be like a Pythagoras cup. Hit a billion and lose it all. No one needs a billion dollars, absolute clown shit
And what makes you think Bezos will sell his propaganda machine? This is a liberal suggestion to a fascism problem. Oh benevolent billionaire, please save us plebs from the malevolent billionaires. No. We the workers must save ourselves
Relax- it was wishful thinking. Given I do all I can personally, and will occasionally make a random comment on social media, to which inevitably others attack and lead me to think- fuck this- I’ll let it burn. I spend so much time fighting for the rights of others and they would rather spit in…
…in my face than let a general comment go. So why do I fight, why do I send money to the effort, I’m not the one who will be cast out, targeted and treated like shit. So really- at some point when those who might want support would rather fight against those trying to support, …
Even if they are just making a one off comment. It’s what causes more people to turn away and become focused on their own self-interest.
It is good to dream of a better world, but we can dream of a better world that we build. The billionaires will not save us from the mess they made, and it annoys me to see people thinking they have our interests in mind. I'm sorry it came across as an attack, maybe I was a bit harsh. I apologize
It’s all good- just unfortunate I read it after a day of work too. I realize no one but people with the same interests will actually truly be able to save ourselves. It’s why I get so mad at people who vote against their own self interest and then are surprised
Exactly this! #AmericanRevolution #GlobalRevoltOnCapital
The cruelty and stupidity is the point. An isolated America can be defeated.
IMHO, fascism is already here!
We never learn !
Yet the USA has been permanently at war during that entire time. In fact, the USA has only NOT been at war for 25 years of its entire history. Try again Richard Dunceson
‘American Exceptionalism’: rules apply to everyone except…
It will strengthen Russia, should be the headline!!!
It will strengthen China. Russia is failing and will continue to do so, regardless. China has been handed a new world order on a silver platter. Whilst Europe defeats Russia alone, Chinese Hegemony will slide into place. Trump has achieved what years of China's Belt and Road failed to do.
America alone isn’t going to make it great. Make Americans hated again is the vibe in the world.
I'm in Scotland. I'm boycotting as many US products as possible.
Tourism tracking: Canadians, Europeans, others not coming to US for holiday this year. Boycott of US products widespread. Trump & radical right will fuck all of us as they play Merica 2.0 with traitorous lap dogs. Why hasn't George Bush said anything? Too busy painting?
I understand your anger. We don’t hate Canada or Canadians, just our president.
The hard part is almost half of Americans like what he’s doing. I know it not all Americans but that’s far too many.
He won the election with about 39% of the vote. About 1/3 of Americans didn’t vote. Sadly, we don’t really know if the assistance he received from Muskrat resulted in election interference. He doesn’t have a mandate or a majority. It’s was a coup!
I honestly think Canadians would of beheaded him. 'Nice' Canadians and all that, not sure we would put up with it. It would be a swarm storming the castle.
I live in the States, I can't boycott everything. Would if I could. Also, what is up with that AI map? It's got weird states (and provinces!)
Thanks for normalizing Trump during his campaign and only now pointing out that he’s crazy.
78M ppl who voted for him -you did that. It’s like burning down your house with your entire family in it. You people better come out like the Hungarians did this weekend, you owe that to the rest of us who didn’t vote for that corrupt POS. apnews.com/article/hung...
Traitor Trump, exactly as people warned for the last decade.
Didn’t this dude spend a lot of time on PEDOFILE island? 😡
🎁Gift Article Opinion Fareed Zakaria Trump upending world order will cost America dearly The decline of American influence is a gift to Russia and China. March 7, 2025 wapo.st/4iC9IEz
Longest period of peace!!! Are you insane?
Yes, that’s sad and that’s what Trump wants so that nobody has anything but him and his rich folks shame on all those that voted for that man
They brought it on themselves.
Of course it will weaken America. I can only imagine that the Project 2025 people don’t care.
It’s not just Project 2025 ppl “don’t care” — they *actively* want to bring it about to create their own little Thiefdoms (yes, play on “fiefdoms”) where we have zero say… Curtis Yarvin is worshipped by all of these fascist tech bros. Ppl need to wake up to their end game. bsky.app/profile/jenn...
Wonder if they realize that China would just laugh and roll over their thiefdoms when they are good and ready to do so A weak America means China has a lot less to worry about
China? Heck, Mexico will :D I guess Mexican President and Canadian PM should start negotiating the border regime on the future Mexico-Canadian border :D
What’s this in response to? I don’t remember this thread. I don’t remember writing about China or borders.
Yarvin must be good at communicating, because nothing he says makes sense or has decency. He’s a disgusting person.
They all seem to be high on their own supply… these broligarchs & techbros come up with “groundbreaking” ideas that are just literal reboots of failed systems / programs, etc. Yet they think / call each other geniuses in their ignorance of history.🤦🏻♀️
What’s worse, the have no history within their own lives that’s taught them anything. And as you said, they don’t know factually accurate history. So yeah, they are definitely not genius’.
That 80 years of peace has spoiled them. Their mini theifdoms only work when the world is stable.
There’s truth in what you’re saying. But 80 years. ? You’re referring to 1945-2025 I imagine?
Don't get me wrong, the 80 years hasn't been perfect, but there hasn't been an all out world war. The conflicts have been isolated to regions and it was bad for those areas, but it wasn't bad for the rich who are driving us to chaos now.
It’s rarely been bad for the rich. The sad thing is, for them, bad things come back around one way or another to the people who’ve done evil. I don’t wish anything. Bad on the innocent. But that’s what happens.
It's already weakened it.
Almost everything Donald J. Trump does makes the United States weaker and China stronger. Frankly, I don't find that terribly troubling. China doesn't constantly bomb and invade other sovereign states. That is a favorable quality, in my opinion. But why is Trump handing the future to China? 🤔
China doesn't do it *yet*. Southeastern Asia is definitely in its sights
Today Trump is releasing 80,000 JFK report Likely to distract from the egregious malfeasance(s) he plans to commit this week Right now, whatever is in the JKF report, no matter how shocking, is irrelevant What Trump administration is doing to America is where we need to focus 1,000% time & energy
Yes. My guess is there won’t be anything of significance. He’s trying to hide something.
431 Palestinians bombed/ killed in Gaza overnight. 60 dead in Southern States without NOAA warnings. No Fema, too? We bomb Yemen and 1 million Houtis march. He golfs and gives himself a trophy, no comment on Gaza, The South,

"Global prosperity" for billionaires. And one that ignores the fact that around 6 million children, under 15 tears of age, die each year, from malnutrition, pre-term birth, infectious diseases etc.
Exactly right. And woe betide anyone who dares to rock the establishment.
Obvious.
He is literally handing America and Ukraine to Russia on a silver platter.
Well c’mon a nation that elected trump can’t expect any positive outcomes. History full of the disasters of these autocrats.
The irony is that in the name of making America great again, Trump is overturning the 80-year world order in which America has actually been great.
America demolished their global hegemony in a month just to own the libs
"Fanaticism and ignorance are forever busy and needs feeding". Spencer Tracey in INHERIT THE WIND
He is not off to a great start. Attacking your neighbour and long time ally was really ill advised. Then to threaten our sovereignty was the knife in the back. As a result our new PM's first official trip was to meet with France and England.
On behalf of sane Americans, I am sorry. Side note - will you adopt me?
I can't take care of myself on many days due to health. You are welcome to apply through the govt.
Same!!
Your comparison is absolute crap. Signed a domestic abuse survivor.
Please tell me what I did wrong. Americans often say "Do you have an extra room" "Adopt me". My own son lives and works in the US and for the first time in over 16 years he is debating coming home. If Insulted you it was not purposely. I am not a rude person.
Next time throw millions at the democratic nominee. That's how Elon got president dipshit in there
The old America is dead. I had a quit cry today. It’s all due to electing a person with zero political experience. Zero world experience. Zero empathy experience. He lies that tariffs will save the US. Manufacturing is NEVER coming back. US labour is simply TOO expensive, to make ANY profit!
I am sorry, but you are waking up to the fact outside your borders the states never had the glorious reputation you thought -you have been brainwashed since you were little.
You are in charge because people believe you are in charge but when people stop believing you are in charge you are not. Miller's Crossing.
Thanks. I will have to remember that quote.I hate watching my friends down south of our border is such disarray but I hope some learn the American Dream was never real outside or inside their borders.
When we step away from NATO and no longer support a democratic government against an invasion, we give away our leadership. Forcing our allies to seek a new alignment in both military and trade.
WE MUST ORGANIZE HOW TO COUNTER ALL THESE BARRAGES OF LIES TRUMP IS TOUTING! IF YOU DON'T KNOW IT BY NOW DOGE IS OUT TO SEW DISINFORMATION AND DISTRUST IN THE SERVICES, IT IS DISMANTLING SO THAT IT WOULD BE ACCEPTED FOR GUT AND SELL THE PROPERTIES AND SERVICES. BELOW IS MY SUGGESTION:
IT IS THE BIGGEST SCAM TO THE MAGAS, AMERICANS, REPUBLICANS AND THEY ACCEPT IT AS TRUTH!
