Meh we put ourselves at the center of globalization and trade by offering the Europeans access to our markets in exchange for being our meat shields if the Ruskies ever decided to get uppity.
Now globalization is starting to break down because we have no interest in maintaining it. Every president since Clinton has been more and more isolationist than the last. Even Biden had no interest in maintaining the order. The aid he offered to Ukraine was primarily military support, there was very little economic support for after the war.
Trump has moved the needle on populism in the US. Breaking global trade was always going to happen, but Trump is accelerating it. Yes he is a corrupt skum bag, but we’ve had skum bag presidents in the past.
America in the long term will be fine, our demographics are better than Europes or Chinas, we make our own energy and grow enough food to feed our population. We just need to restore manufacturing to North America (I.E. Canada, Mexico and USA).
America can exist quite happily as a regional hegemony and let Europe, India, Russia and China fight over the rest of the world.
I see we have a dirty tankie in our midst.
I knew I’d get the ol’ switch-a-roo comments. Please enjoy one internet point sir.
Did you happen to notice the one country not on the list?
Here I’ll give you a hint it’s name starts with an “R” and is run by a man who’s name starts with a “P” and is currently at war with a country that starts with a “U”…
5·3 days agoDon’t delete your account, scramble your past comments into AI generated gibberish. It poisons the well for AI and makes the site even more unusable by humans.
There is nothing like reading one or two sentences into a comment and realizing it is garbage.
Are you me? Because I got banned from every group at one point or anotherc… r/guns, r/europe, r/politics, etc. etc.
Ironically what got my account permanently banned was a comment advocating for disabled access to buildings in r/Europe of all my comments I didn’t expect that one to get me banned…
After that I scrambled all my comments on my 10+ year old account into AI generated gibberish to poison the well and moved to Lemmy. Now I just use Reddit for porn searches.
I think they will find our resolve weak and crumbly like an orange cheese puff.
You are making the same mistake every player has made in regards to Trump.
You are under estimating him and you believe he is transactional in relationships. You give him X, he gives you Y. Trump is NOT transactional. Trump sees you giving him X as weakness and will try to take Y and Z from you in the future. He will never give you Y unless he is forced to.
Trump does not give a shit if you like him. Trump only cares that you will follow him and do what he says either willingly or by coercion.
Europe and Canadian leaders came to, or called Trump at Mar-a-lago in the weeks after the election and kissed his ass.
It accomplished nothing. Trump is still moving forward with tariffs and his agenda to break up NATO and make America a regional power with hegemony over North America.
If you want to figure out what Trump is actually up to ask yourself why does he want Greenland? We already have military bases there. Denmark will let us build more or exploit the resources on that island.
The only reason you would seek to annex Greenland is if you are working toward a future where Denmark would see you as an enemy and would not allow the US access to Greenland.
Think about what would have to happen to make that a reality…
I say this as an American, Europe needs to start arming itself ASAP. Because no one here has managed to stop this Orange Fucker. I don’t have any faith we can stop him from whatever shitty plan he has.
This only shows weakness to Trump. It tells him your country is weak fearful and seeks his protection.
Trump is going to do whatever it is he wants to do and this just confirms Finland won’t be a major obstacle to his plan and/or Finland will just go along with it.
Finlands President is a fool.
Here is three, better get to work you’ve got some police injustice to make up for. Make sure you post your riot…
But you won’t, you’re an internet troll from Reddit who was trying to score some imaginary internet points for clout. I’m sure you will think of some B.S. excuse to move the goal posts.
Do you think cops aren’t strangling minorities to death after Covid?
I don’t think people have caught onto the fact that you should never give into Trump’s demands… full stop.
The assumption that what you give to him is transactional and will make him stop doesn’t apply.
Giving in just shows you perceive your position as weak and he will ask for more or destroy you later.
Look at all the Broadcast networks that settled lawsuits and paid him off, look at Columbia university giving into his demands around student protests.
The list goes on and on with the same result you give in and he will ask for more or still seek to destroy you later. Giving in just makes him stronger.
Sure chief, how many nation wide riots have happened since Covid 19?
Police abuse and murder of minorities happens all the time in America and no one riots or even bats an eye.
People were bored from sitting around during Covid and the massive heat wave that summer didn’t help.
How many nation wide riots have happened since Covid 19?
BLM happened because people were bored from the Covid 19 lock downs and hot because of the heat waves that summer.
Otherwise it would have fizzled out after a few weeks.
They did this in Washington state to citizens during the Covid 19 summer riots.
This is nothing new for Trump. Stay strapped and alert at all times for the next 4 years.
Good they are breaking.
