This Russian mole is so incompetent, he’s only now discussing what a good Russian mole would have done a month ago.

So three weeks to either suck up to the US until Russia snipes them off while the US does so as well. Trump opening up with wanting to acquire Greenland and Canada wasn’t him being mad, it wasn’t him being resentful, it wasn’t him being a strong man, it was always within the context of where Trump’s US along with Russia are positioning themselves now. Forget the bombing of Hiroshima, if a nuclear bomb got dropped in Ukraine or Europe, Trump and his followers would blame Europe and do nothing to help it. The US has gone from being schizophrenic bipolar to just being psychotic. COVID was a herald of the world that awaits them, people will get to decide if they follow it as slaves or die with some dignity, knowing that their legacy might be buried under a sea of lies.

Maybe, but it is also a social values problem. People have been raised to believe they are entitled to the wealth they’ve accrued, their society be damned. They got one or several houses? They can rent and are entitled to passive income with very little overhead while the rest of society increasingly finds it harder to make ends meet because they don’t even own their property. Have a lot of wealth? Just live off of the interest while inflation and lack of ways to make money for those belonging to the part of the economy not optimized to make as much money as possible get poorer.

Being rich after a certain threshold needs to be taxed. Hiding your wealth in investments and feeding a market only focused on maximizing profit needs to be regulated. How much property someone can own needs to be limited. MAGA is only possible because of the effort they spend to crowdsource the values of greed and narcissism onto their followers.

Expecting them to invest it back into their communities is expecting trickle down economics to work.

Russia basically 3-day’ing again, this time using the Russian proxy pawn to try to force a regional defeat and instead uniting opposition in a way that cannot be as easily controlled while their economy continues to crumble. Tact, as Russian as their ability to value and reward their most valuable resources like Prigozhin and his Wagner Group.

Good thing for my argument that the problem is most manifestly systemic and not dependent on the rating of any airport pulled out of anyone’s ass. Last I checked, this time the plane didn’t collide with other aircraft, so I’ll give the ATCs a pass. Then again, I wasn’t the one insecure enough to bring them up.

Funny thing, when a system is stressed enough, the effects generally propagate throughout all of it as resources that would have been available in one area are dwindled in other areas. I’ll let you get back to your Canada being a US state lemmy.ml fantasizing.

Imagine being such a Russian pawn that you immediately bring the aviation industry down to Russia’s level.

Canada becoming the 51st state is allowing a foreign administration to find whatever excuse they can find to display the natives and magically provide “real-state opportunities” out of nothing, Israeli style.

A lot of it was built with US soft power, but a lot of it was kept in check because of US soft power. I wouldn’t place bets on everything suddenly toppling to the ground, because that’d be ignoring the opportunities that have been made by removing the soft power barriers. It’s as foolish to assume as claiming to be able to take Ukraine in three days.

As well they should.

There’s a lot of gaslighting on Lemmy, specially because of the nature of by and whom it was founded for. Troll factories play both sides: https://www.wired.com/story/russia-indictment-twitter-facebook-play-both-sides/

That security and those in the white house are part of those millions of Americans, and there’s more than can be done than just targeting him outright. It’s funny that Texas and California have large secessionist movements coming from the GQP, but when the nation is at risk of actual fascism, there’s nothing remotely similar coming from Democrats. There is a world of different options available to those who seek it, I’m just stating this one as an example that the other side has no problem considering.

I think at this point Trump might even want another pandemic so he can put export tariffs on the vaccines leading US pharmaceuticals will have to develop.

It says how much we are screwed that we are probably currently more concerned over the short term.

I was wondering why he suddenly jumped on USAID. Now we know. I had been thinking the US was going to take longer to shift into a fascist state, but apparently it is already there.

Oh, they can do something about it. It’s another matter entirely that they will because it’s well outside their comfort zones.

Now our governments will give a shit for AI IP trampling. Or at least it would, if the “leader of the free world” wasn’t so busy threatening it and re-prioritizing concerns. Eat the shit pie whole, Elon.

It’s like those fairy tales Zionists try to convince you about that every belief system should seek their own nation. It’s easy to come up with free land when you have zero value for the people living on it.
