Indeed. They are sane washing Trump.
Breaking NATO to gain Greenland is not a net benefit to US defense.
Breaking trust of closest allies is not good economically.
The reality is, Trump wants Greenland because it is big. And he wants to be able to say he took it, and it was easy, and look how big

Yes, but you see. He does this not so the working class can enjoy the value they create - but rather so that the ruling class can enjoy the value of the work foreign nations create on top of what they take domestically.
So it's not communism. It's fascism.

Oh, just using the US military to steal oil.
Really nothing new under the sun, except how obvious and blatant it is.
The CIA used to have subterfuge, but Trump doesn't have a subtle bone in his kankles.

I don't think that's a fair comparison.
NFL has taught neuroscience a lot about traumatic brain injuries.
FIFA has taught us nothing about peace (but quite a bit about corruption).
Maybe they should make a corruption prize!!

People with immense power and wealth, and no moral compass.
They never tell the truth. Don't expect anything they say to be true.
When they speak, what they say is only ever:
<what they want you to believe>
... that is, what is most useful for them to convince you is true.

When it comes to things Trump says, try not to ask yourself whether he believes it himself. He has very few actual beliefs.
But if a statement satisfies one or both of these, he'll say it as though he believes it.
1. What he wants to believe.
2. What he wants you to believe.

This resonated very profoundly with me, even though my chronic illness (sarcoidosis) is much less violent than yours.
I am painfully aware of how unsustainable it is for me to suffer further outbreaks, and this, even in the absence of symptoms, is a very heavy psychological burden to bear.

Is JD Vance a bigger simp for Putin than Donald? Hard to imagine, but also hard to rule out.

Zelenskyy is not one of them. So grateful that Ukraine elected this gem at such a critical time.

The reality is much more grim. I suspect it is much like Vlad Vexler explains. Trump is dependent on Putin for narcissistic supply. He literally needs Putin; that is engagement and mutual flattery with Putin, in order to emotionally regulate himself.
Putin knows this, and uses it to his advantage.

Until we account for the fact that half of 'murica voted for this, in our description of the situation, we will see the same insanity repeated in the next election cycle. It isn't fate. It isn't conincidence. It isn't (just) mental illness. It isn't one-off; it's systemic and it is getting worse.

If you understand that your mode of government is first and foremost capitalism, not democracy. Then you will see why your president (who just so happens to be born into obscene wealth) feels more threatened when capitalist CEOs are killed, than when democratically elected officials are targetted.

now watch Taco give putin another 14 days, once this deadline has run out. He will keep kicking this can down the road for as long as he possibly can. preferably until the war ends.
