We (Denmark) helped USA in both Iraq and Afghanistan. In Afghanistan we even had the highest rate of fatal casualties among allies, compared to the size of our population.
Now we are not buying American made defense equipment anymore, apart from contracts already signed, and we are working to get rid of Microsoft in government organizations and public services.
Many European countries are doing the same, no more helping the American military industrial complex, or the American government when they have an F35 program with budget overruns. Which we actually did when we signed our F35 contract with USA.

Too bad USA doesn’t help Ukraine instead. USA even promised they would, when Ukraine gave up their nuclear arsenal!
Even under Biden the help was only halfhearted. The amount was significant, but the abilities of the equipment Ukraine was allowed to get was very restricted. Obama too wasn’t any help in 2014 either, and let Russia take Crimea without issue!
It’s not just Trump and republicans who are guilty of making USA untrustworthy. Democrats are part of the problem too.
We need to kick USA out of NATO, and invite other including non Atlantic democracies to join instead. USA has stated they are not sure they will honor article 5 (The musketeer article), and if they won’t, they cannot be part of NATO anymore. Because that’s the whole purpose of NATO.

Europe AND North America.
Nuclear war was as much a threat against North America as it was against Europe.
USA was also attacked by Japan in WW2, so USA too could conceivably be attacked again.

EU was to created in huge part to maintain peace in Europe.

To be fair the numbers are from June 1st, and are for the month of May. So a tad newer than you graph that state March as the latest.

By the standards of what democracy is. Namely representing the will of the people. You simply can’t do that when there are only 2 options.

The numbers are 3 weeks old, but they are still good. 😋

I’m not saying Trump isn’t awful, and things aren’t bad. I also clearly state democracy in USA isn’t safe yet.
But Trump is failing more than he is succeeding.

I am not American, but I really hope they will work to improve democracy. The concept of a president controlling the entire administration is both awful and not representative of the population. A democracy that result in a 2 party system is only barely a democracy.

It was beautiful to see how everybody were bored out of their mind. Nobody enjoyed being there. 🤣

He is probably trying just that, because it’s common knowledge that a war normally has the effect that people back the current president/administration while fighting an exterior enemy.
Problem for Trump is, that he can’t find a war to fight that is plausibly legitimate. Only a small minority is buying it with Iran, and he doesn’t have any other options.

You are right, it has not collapsed yes, but it is collapsing. And I don’t think it’s possible now for him to finish it. Things looked much worse a month ago.

Trumps attempt at creating a fascist dictator regime is collapsing.

1. The Military parade clearly showed he doesn’t have the backup of the military.
2. People are beginning to mass protest, and the no kings protests were way more successful than the parade.
3. Republican politicians are becoming more reluctant in their support.
4. Courts are often judging against him.
5. When Trump ups the ante resistance increases.

That means Trump doesn’t really control any part of the nation the way a dictator is supposed to, and his attempts to achieve it are failing.
Obviously the flawed democracy of USA is not safe yet, but if the trend continues, there is hope USA may get through this eventually.

This picture may seem shopped, in part because the cockpit seems oversized.
But you have to remember the cockpit is designed to fit American pilots.

We hope this explains everything,

“Russia does not care who represents Ukraine in negotiations, but insists that any final agreement must bear the signature of legitimate authorities.”

No doubt Zelensky is the legitimate leader of Ukraine, but who does he imagine should sign for Russia?

But honestly Putin can piss off with his constant ridiculous preconditions. Although of course that’s up to Ukraine to decide.
But I don’t blame them if they just send him this response: 🖕

The article states it’s 30000 users! Doing that is 300 users per day! People who probably also want extra support initially.
It would be extremely impressive to do it that fast.
