Well duh. Right now the cracks are spreading, but the US as a state is still holding. Once those cracks spread far enough it'll all come down, and quickly.

Trump says Zelenskyy ‘gambling with WWIII’ as D.C. meeting turns to chaos - National | Globalnews.ca
Fuck this headline and all reporting that shelters trump from responsibility for his constant failures. It didn't turn to chaos, trump and vance shit all over it because they're weak, stupid cowards pretending to be what they think an alpha is.
You lost all credibility at "according to trump."
I hope every American feels the humiliation of having these bumbling alpha wannabes representing their country.
It does feel like the oligarchs are making their endgame moves. They don't care about functioning economies anymore, they just want control of whatever is left. If nobody stops them in the US, they're coming for all of us.
That's a good point and thanks for the perspective. Of course I don't know what it's like for anyone in Ukraine at the moment, and I can understand the desperation. But trump is a thug, and a wannabe gangster. He will burn all of Ukraine if he thinks it will benefit him. His word is worthless, and so is any deal with the US. Every world leader knows that, it's just so frustrating that none will stand up and say it, they just keep treating him like a legitimate president when he's so clearly not.
You'll never both envy and commiserate with bikeseats so much simultaneously.
Zelenskyy would probably get more support from his people if he told trump to get fucked than by being his dancing monkey. I know he's desperately trying to do what's best for Ukraine, but sucking up to that piece of shit isn't it.
Well this is contradictory to what all the polls anyone has ever heard of are saying.
I never understood it, and I grew up on 80s action movies. Love Arnie, Bruce, Sylvester (before maga), even Chuck. But never got into James Bond at all.
I lived in America for a decade and my wife is American. Thankfully I got our family out before trump's first rampage. I've despised republicans since not long after I arrived there and figured out what they're really about, and I watched them lose their minds during the Obama years. But watching now, as republicans openly vote to cut real programs that the US working class pay for specifically so they can hand that money to the wealthy as a tax cut I'm just disgusted.
If this budget goes through and there isn't rioting in the streets, then Americans as a people are truly beaten. And wherever you are in the world, you'd better start preparing yourselves, because the oligarchs are coming for you next.
Anything that starts with "backed by the US" isn't anything you want to put your money on right now. We're a long way from either Europe or the US, and with the US a failed state and Europe dealing with Russia's bullshit I wouldn't rely on massive amounts of help from either if we needed it. I'm sure Australia's war gamers are taking that into account.
