We’re the bad guys. Our government is intentionally destroying our sift power advantage. Question is, how long until elected GOP leaders start caring

NOTHING from the US!! The most affluent country in the world - I don’t know of a way to express just how reprehensible this is! The GOP should be ashamed and embarrassed! Fuck their “Christian Values”

I hope no one is surprised, being that we have a sociopath as our POTUS.

Not only are we turning our back on allies. If noem and trump have their way FEMA will be dissolved so there won't be any federal help coming for our own citizens. We're all on our own. Don't worry, the oligarchs will be fine.

Elected GOP leaders only care about their blind allegiance to DEAR LEADER Trump. Nothing else matters to these people. They are a cult. It will take decades to recover from Trump - if we ever do.

Be fair, we're no longer gonna send aid to domestic disaster victims. So at least the Trump Administration is consistent in it's "you're totally on your own" policy.

This is not the first time that India has supplied massive amounts of aid to Myanmar. During Cyclone Nargis, the West withheld aid to Myanmar for a while due to the military junta and democracy was almost dead. The military wassn't well-disposed to the West.
mar 31, 2025, 10:41 pm • 2 0 • view
I must also add that it was the Junta that denied entry of aid from the West when it did arrive, because it was military ships bringing aid in. The Junta feared that Western aid workers were also involved in activities to support a coup d'état.

They'll only start caring if they think it means they'll lose their job. But between the GOP base, gerrymandering and the Senate maps that won't be any time soon.

This is why, when Constitutionalists beat MAGA in Civil War II, we must exterminate the MAGA cancer. Lincoln's "malice towards none, charity for all" looked good on paper, but that begat the KKK, white supremacy, and ultimately, MAGA. Next time, exterminate the cancer. Wipe them out... all of them.

They don't care about soft power. For any member of the GOP, you only need to "take a look at his trousers, you'll see where he stands."

For what it's worth the US does have people over there supporting the response effort. It is based in Thailand and limited to structural damage assessment. Still a token show of support and the effort likely won't include Myanmar.

The new rules are based upon No Empathy. The consequences of that idea are pretty bad. Amazing that bc an unelected individual and the Christian nationalists have taken this stance and have subjected the entire country, world to this cruelty. Religion used to be based upon empathy, compassion.

Trumpism sees that America has power and thinks it should get more benefits for that power. It ignores that we leverage our soft power into hard power. The soft power and support of an ally system is the foundation for our success. They only see the hard power and feel it is underused.
