We mean it, we always meant it. Democracy, separation between church and state, decolonisation - weren't just selling points. And another thing: post war colonisation of Europe by the US is hereby finished.
Munich 2026 was an exposure. U.S. assumptions of dominance, ideological export, and automatic European alignment were tested — and openly challenged. Europe didn’t drift. It consolidated. =>The Emperor Undressed in Munich

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.
That amounts to $456,621 per hour.
