Trump’s moves against Ukraine – including a diesel deal with Putin and a row over restricting Starlink – mean he must now be seen as a hostile force in Europe, explains world affairs editor Sam Kiley

    “The Enemy Within” is a good episode of Star Trek, and a good episode of Stargate. Why is it such a terrible fucking episode for the US?

    Trump, Musk and the rest of the epstein class are the chosen representatives of conservatives. They accurately represent all conservatives. Conservatives are the enemy within.

      Two Hitler salutes on stage at the US Presidential Inauguration

      It’s amazing how easily it was for them to make that go away. Disturbing how nobody fucking cares.

        Two recorded salutes. Like, we have it on video from multiple sources.
        And yet, he gets to have the fucking ADL run cover for him. It’s disgusting what you get away with if you’re rich enough to either make people eat their words, or they self-censor to avoid possible fallout.

    Service members: You defend the constitution against foreign AND DOMESTIC threats

    you’re betraying your oath

      It’s an oath upheld through force to begin with, and if the authority doing the upholding is compromised the oath itself becomes mere spectacle.

      Unless the people actually hold oath-breakers individually accountable, relying on the compromised military leadership or the compromised courts won’t do shit.

      Who has he betrayed? South Africa?

      He’s greedy, he will do whatever makes him the most money. He is loyal to money alone.

    Europe will stand by and watch. Russia knows this, and so does Trump. They’re a lost cause and costly (Trump’s opinion)

    Russia can out-last Ukraine, with much more manpower to draw from.

    Ukraine wants to last longer than Russia’s economy… but must do so while the USA and EU are financing Russia by buying oil. If USA is the “enemy within” for buying from Russia… what is the EU? Honest question.

    Enemy within what? It has always been the case that the US will destroy its proxies, whether they win or lose the objective they were manipulated for

    Europe has to help Ukraine more. The US, Russia, and China are all working against Ukraine. This is what Europe should propose to Putin. Russia will withdraw from all land it seized from Ukraine after the 2022 invasion. NATO would be dissolved and replaced with a European alliance. Ukraine and Canada would be permitted to join but not the US. All sanctions against Russia will be lifted. Russia will not be required to pay reparations. If Putin doesn’t accept the proposal, the UK and France would send troops to Ukraine.
