Summary
JD Vance’s confrontational role in Friday’s Oval Office clash with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy became a flashpoint for the US-European relationship.
Vance provoked Zelenskyy by accusing him of leading “propaganda tours,” escalating tensions before Trump joined in.
Critics suggest this confrontation was deliberately orchestrated to damage US-Ukraine relations, noting immediate and synchronized Republican messaging afterward.
European officials backed Zelenskyy while expressing concern that the US is siding with Putin. Following the meeting, Trump officials indicated they might cut all military aid to Ukraine, marking a potential collapse of the transatlantic alliance.
I think it would do the global community a lot of good to simply cut the States off from any resources, all trade, and any aid they need from us (like helping put out their damn fires!).
If the rapist in chief thinks his country is the only country that matters, let them experience the next four years in a complete global blackout.
Maybe then this jackass will realize that the States needs the world more than the world needs the States.
This is 100% the reason that putin installed these fascists in the first place.
That doesn’t really change the fact that the damage the US can do under a fascist dictatorships trade wars needs to be minimized. The solution isn’t to continue enriching a hostile nation state.
The only chance America has at this point is national upheaval and likely civil war, otherwise the enemy within will remain and continue pulling the copper from the walls. You can’t magically deprogram 70 million people from extremism and mental illness. The cancer has to be cut out.
I’m just pointing out how effectively putin has engineered a situation that gives him the most room to continue his conquest of eastern europe
americans are still too content to even have a civil war, still have access to youtube, and all the social media.
Not only that. We should stop honoring american IP (intellectual property). Just pirate all their shit. Disassemble their tanks, hack their cars and tractors. Remove all their software and replace it with open source, Europe backed programs.
Because this will hurt them globally. A crack for a car works in Mexico as it does in Denmark. An open source office suite also helps developing nations, that could then also get rid of MS.
Jailbreak all the Teslas.
EU still needs resources from US though. Remember the Russian gas they were so dependent before 2022? It was largely replaced with American gas.
Replace it with Canadian gas that’s currently going to the US.
