@randahl Much like the situation in Russia, many citizens remain unaware of the profound damage their leadership is inflicting on the world – both in terms of tangible destruction and the lasting stain on global perception. These are wounds that will take decades to heal.
Germans, in particular, may still recall the weight of such a legacy, having faced the harsh reality of being held accountable for the actions of their ancestors.
@individual8 @randahl That's because aside from the assholes in the Fox Lies bubble, millions of others are 'distracted' with the pressure of getting by and look forward to mindless 'Dancing With The Stars' at the end of an exhausting day. Oligarchy intends to keep them that way.

@randahl Canada has gone through a similar transformation. It started with talks of annexation and 51st state rhetoric a year ago.
Now their politicians are actively calling for the province of Alberta to break off and join the US.

@justinlachance @randahl
No, Alberta doesn't want to be part of the USA.But I'm sure Minnesota would love to be Canada's 11th province.

@randahl We have abandoned so much for this maniac but nothing so valuable as the connections you describe. I apologize for the clumsy, chaotic threat we have become and hope we can be a part of something better in the future.
-
@randahl There are a few people in Denmark who still believe USA is our closest ally, those people are all found on Christiansborg.

@AGT But the Europe isn't much better. UK left the EU because of similar lies. The right wing extremists are growing everywhere. Not even Germany is excempt. We are all being influenced by russian troll factories as seen in several leaks and accidental doxing by twitter.
@eq @AGT Don't forget the far-right danger in Hungary, Italy, in France (before our elections) and elsewhere. And now we have not only Russian troll farms but manipulations of our elections by the USA, especially the #TESCREAL tech bros and their money they invest in our fascist parties.
We can only learn from the bad example USA how quick we can lose our own democracies! -
I don't know if Americans realize what happened between the US and Denmark.
No matter whom I listen to, the feeling is the same: Our bilateral relationship is dead.
I grew up in a country filled with gratitude towards The US, because of The Normandy Landings. The US was loved.
The feeling now is anger. Our Kingdom has been threatened twice in 100 years: Hitler's occupation and Trump's attempted annexation of Greenland.
It saddens me, but I sense this will not easily be forgotten.
I work at a Danish company owned by a US one, working in the US. It’s been socially strained since we joined, but I dread how things will go now.

Germany has recovered well* and I'd be surprised if Denmark did not have a good relationship with the current German nation.
Time will tell if the USA becomes more isolated and the next North Korea or if we recover and rebuild and become the next (post-WWII) Germany.
*notwithstanding recent ADF activities (sadly far-right groups are springing up everywhere.)
-
It's the same in Canada and I fear the only way for the US to recover is with extreme measures.
Mass executions.
Trump and his entire administration have to go. The leadership in both houses have to go. State level Republicans who let him on the ballot have to go.
So many people have to go that the next Trump-like person to rise will be killed by their own party to protect they own lives.
It's the only way I will trust the US again and I've talk to many who agree.
@csstrowbridge @randahl Violence and money are the language of the GOP. Mass executions of all of them, making them an example, a la Mussolini, are the remedy for the rest of us. Cancer doesn't *learn* - not from history, not from its mistakes. Nazis are cancer.

@randahl Unfortunately, I believe that most people in the USA don't know what is going on in the relationship between the USA and Europe. If they have an inkling, they probably don't know most of it.
Americans that are just watching regular news and are not actively looking for neutral information... are inundated with propaganda about the greatness of Trump.
Case in point the recent Fox News coverage of Trump at Davos where he soundly defeated the EU.... ... ..
-
I agree to most of your post, but "We mostly feel sorry for the people of the USA."?
No, not exactly! Trump has been in office before and it was obvious to the world what he and his MAGA fascists were planning for this term ("Project 2025").
Still, 1/3 decided to actively vote him into power, and another 1/3 couldn't be bothered to even go to the ballot.
I'm mostly angry at the Americans!

@justinlachance @randahl How about Canada going after Washington State and Oregon as their 11th and 12th provinces?
-
@randahl And it's not just Denmark. The US can fuck off until the Trump regime is behind bars. Then we can talk again.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @Rii_cck @randahl Taxation won’t happen until the public image of billionaires is shattered. That’s why they’re fighting so hard to conceal the Epstein files.
@Virginicus @GhostOnTheHalfShell @Rii_cck @randahl YES 100%
-
@randahl They've lost the majority of Americans as well. The only things the junta have going for them at this point is control over instruments of violence and money conduits.

@randahl it saddens me as an American, but we brought it in ourselves, the ultimate FAFO.
And the problem isn't Trump, the problem is this society that allowed him into power, most egregiously the second time.

Unreconstructed confederacy, from the klan to the deranged MAGA death cult in Christian costume.
The two party electoral system where a small group extracts massive income streams well into their senility, while ignoring the public.
A public so easily distracted & willingly ignorant that their oppressors can convince them their neighbors are the enemy.

They’re doing a very good job with that very task. We need to remind ourselves to talk about it to our friends and neighbors.
-
@randahl many of us know, and understand what’s happened, and feel really ashamed of it.

@martinvermeer
Yeah, I thought about that, but this was also part of clearing the Germans out, so not a completely obvious threat to the country. But people were relieved when they left, it wasn't a given thing.The Soviet invasion plans for Denmark, complete with gas attacks, amphibious landings and nuclear attack were very different.
@randahl@notsoloud @martinvermeer @randahl A subtle note. In a Bornholm church yard are gravesites (I can't remember exactly where)There are 9 or so Russians soldiers buried there but not in the churchyard proper, on the other side of the stone fence. The Danes could see intent beyond action.

@randahl It’s the same here in Canada. They seem to have been our friend for a long time. The backstabbing and betrayal stings. We are fucking done with them.
