As an American, I hope this continues.
Exactly as Putin wanted.
A united Europe and an isolated America? Perhaps the latter part sure, but people who think what went down at the oval office is what Putin wanted I think are imagining too much. That was off-script, that messes up everyones plans, especially if Trump and/or Vance are indeed Russian assets. Russia very much intended on a terrible deal with Ukraine to be signed with Europe cheerily in step, now there is no deal so the fighting continues and Europe is united with Ukraine as though the war just started. And while I think China will do the smart thing and remain neutral, they could steal the spot of the number one global superpower if they united with Europe against Russia and USA (fat chance but just saying.)

Good.
Fuck us
Apparently we need the leopards to eat a lot more MAGA faces, fine by me. Better they should have full tummies before they hurt any more trans people.

Murican here. More of this please. We've swan-dived into some record setting 'fuck around', and desperately need a 'find out' that hurts enough to teach a lasting lesson.
I really agree with this , as a fellow American.

"From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world." - Donald Trump, Inauguration Day Jan 20 2025.
So much respect.
Trump is a dictator, dictators think "respect" and "fear" are interchangeable.
Did he really say that?
This will continue (the whole of America suffering) until someone wrangles in Trump...
... or he gets us into a major war we can't win.
This will continue (the whole of America suffering) until someone wrangles in Trump…
When Republican Senators profits or jobs become at risk, because of what Trump's doing, then you'll see some wrangling done.

Genuine question: why is this comment licensed under creative commons?
He's the equivalent of one of those Facebook people that thinks "if you put this at the end of your posts they can't steal your comments". It's nonsense and doesn't change anything. Just ignore it and keep scrolling.
I miss the old web, where if someone wanted to RP as a alien or a cat or something in all their forum posts, we just kind of rolled with it. The internet was strange and diverse.
So many people are dog piling this guy because, in essence, he isn't conforming. He's including a little forum signature on his lemmy posts in 2025.
Just ignore it and keep scrolling.
I agree, but not in a "this guy is an idiot" kind of way, but in a "do whatever you want and keep the internet diverse and strange" kind of way. Let the guy have his small protest. Folks need to stop dog piling him. It shows up in many of the threads he's in, and judgments about his little signature dominate over anything he actually had to say.

In this way the ai bros won't use that comment for training LLMs. Because they care about copyright and they would never, for example, download a torrent with 81 terabytes of pirated ebooks

Rich people have to start losing significant amounts of money before anything is done about Trump.

Feels almost unbelievable to hear that there still are people and companies standing up for their values and principles even in the face of losing profits or comfort. I thought that true western values had finally died and we were collapsing but this give a tiny sliver of hope at least.
norway doesn't really count. they have too much independent wealth to need to play by rules set through bullying and abuse. and a natural solidarity because they don't need to concern themselves with economical risks or worries.

American here: good. More of this, please.
Europeans know how to deal with collaborators
Good. As an American, I encourage all countries to do things like this.
They're going to use this as an excuse to buy Russian oil just watch
In that case, the rest of the sane 1st World should sanction the shit out of the USA until Orange Krasnov and his crew of Russian assets are out of office.

Wonderful, it's time people got the memo, America are not the good guys.
I'm saying this as an American. I would love to see a world where America's Government was viewed with suspicion when acting in international affairs instead of Europe looking up to them like the adult in the room. Europe, YOU, are the adult in the room.
Europe looking up to them like the adult in the room.
We never did that though.
The dynamic was more like the US is the big rich kid with all the toys who sometimes bullies the other kids so it's better to have him on side.
Now you've elected a couple of literal spoiled rich bullies it makes it all a lot more obvious.

Fuck the US
Other countries, if you're out there - follow suit. This flappy gum flexing shit we're doing has got to stop. It's gonna hurt, I'm sure. But until we're neck deep into the "find out" phase, nothing is going to happen.
Master Negotiator. He'll get on the phone with these guys and tell them tariffs are coming.
True! Then the company that no longer sells fuel to USA will make less profit when selling fuel to USA! What a punishment!
Kudos to Haltbakk Bunkers, I would not assist the "Russian Navy" visiting any of my ports.
Winning. Or the art of the deal. Or some maga cuck logic.
