@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.

@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.
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.

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.
@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.

The Mag 7 & Oracle & X building an orwellian system of complete mass surveillance & control.
The narcissism to try to force all this on the rest of the world in the delusional name of freedom.
This country will not quickly recover from this episode. Many will resist & fight it from within, but the forces are powerful & entrenched.
The rest of the world should align to protect itself, get out from under the US thumb.

@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 It would make more sense for Alaska to join Canada. That would relieve the US from having Russia as a neighbour, as they seemed to want.
-
@jgivoni respectfully, you must accept that the rot within the US runs far deeper than "Trump and his fascist pack" from our point of view.
Understand that we don't hate the American PEOPLE (well, not the two thirds of them that are not fascists at least), we feel sorry for them...watching their country as they have known it disintegrate is unimaginable! But also understand this: the US has suffered a broad, systemic sociopolitical breakdown, and "voting the bums out" will not be the end of the problems, it is merely the first step in a healing process that could take many years, decades even, to fully sort out.

@randahl It should not be forgotten. That this has happened so quickly and with no real resistance from the US political sphere shows the US government is not trustworthy and any pretence to 'special relationships' is a farce.
Their own constitution is not worth the paper it is written on.We have to operate on those principles.

The orange one is just the puppet for the Republican Party/Project 2025.
Yes, his mental decline and overall madness adds to it, but it will only get worse when he's gone...
To get this shit-show fixed you have to get rid of the Republicans (party and those who voted for them).@ePD5qRxX @feather1952 Indeed. What is needed should have occurred during the Civil War. Rather than execute every motherfucking confederate, they stupidly allowed for their transition and education. Cancer doesn't learn. Nazism is cancer. We have the receipts from WWII. The GOP is the modern day confederacy and is worth no more than cancer is worth to any one or any thing.

It's sad and infuriating from our side, too. Our democracy is dead. Our system of checks and balances is dead. So although something like 90% of Americans polled were strongly against attacking our friends and allies, there was somehow no way to stop this travesty. I blame everyone in DC. I am confident we'll get our democracy back. But the loss of our allies is permanent. It's tragic. My silver lining is this: ironically, America alone doesn't need to be armed to the teeth anymore.

of course, I agree with you. the USA must win back the trust of the world through actions for the common good. this racist insane fascist regime must be vanquished first.
-
@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.... ... ..
Fox News is poison. That is the intentional content.

@randahl More or less same here in France. But I fear our own ruling class, as well as being angry at the US, is in the same time taking notes. Many many politicians here are eager to implement most of Trump's nazi politics.

@kristen_d I wish you all the best and lots of energy for a fight that will take years.

@randahl hear the same in Belgium (center of the EU), less so as we weren't the direct victim, but before nobody would talk bad against US.
Now everyone call them Lazy, Traitor etc

to the point one day you will have people that simply ignore US when they talk (like Russia today).

I’m just waiting for his next brain fart, because you know it’s coming.
General Bone Spurs is consistent with his idiocy if nothing else.@feather1952 @randahl hey, hey, don't start promoting him, its Cadet Bone Spurs.

I understand why Europeans are rightfully angry at the United States, and this will be a generational break. I wish more people like you were talking about the advance of Nazism in Europe, though, because the same movement that staged the coup in the United States is at work in Europe.
It's a mistake to focus too much energy on foreign threats, big though it is, because the fascists will use that fear in their own campaign to take over your countries.
