When Trump is gone and there is a democrats government, the major question is... will they have enough majority and the will, to get the money out of #USPolitics ? That's it.
(They can ask #ElizabethWarren if they want to know how/what)

Send Baron Trump as ships captain! His dad has a lot of courage.

@ErikJonker @geopolitics And where is the US in Ukraine when it is time to defend Europe against Russia - basically the very reason NATO was established in the first place - ? These people are just saying these nonsensical things so they can be forwarded in millions as one-liners on their social media to gaslight people. Ban US socialmedia-noise ! Remember Bucha !

@ErikJonker @geopolitics The only thing I want to say is that this is the deranged ranting of a single individual, propped up by a few sycophants. Oh, to be sure, he has been able to bulldoze over a lot of objections from within his country, but the USA cannot leave NATO on HIS say so alone. And maybe he will get the congressional support. But unless he does, it's Trump who "WILL REMEMBER". Good. I hope he'll die still fuming about it.

@whasdah @ErikJonker @geopolitics I really couldn't subject myself to the ickiness of posting on Truth Social but yeah someone should point that out to him. And, sure, Ukraine isn't in NATO but it's at least as close to NATO as Ireland is and it's hoping to join. If the USA doesn't want to help Ukraine *defensively* - what NATO was explicitly created for - it has no right to demand assistance with an offensive operation.

@ErikJonker @geopolitics Well, wasn’t that over the moment he threatened to invade a territory of an ally?

@ErikJonker @geopolitics

November is the point of inflection when Trump’s Republicans will see devastating defeat.

MEANWHILE
Resist obedience (until you must)
Fake agree to comply (but don’t)
Delay (technical/legal issues)
Ask for written guidance/direction
Document what Trump thugs do

This is what 90% of federal employees and states are doing now.

@kaika1975 @vosje62 @ErikJonker Spain responds by speaking the uncomfortable truths louder, and sticking to their guns. So he picks on France and the U.K. instead. There's a lesson there somewhere.

@ErikJonker @geopolitics "Decapitation of Iran?" Does he even know Iran is letting through tankers that aren't U.S. or Israeli vessels?
