  2. Have the leaders of each country duel to the death for pink slips and leave the rest of us out of your shit.

  3. Perhaps the only way to deal with Trump is Deny, Defend, Depose:

    Deny his legal right to the presidency as he being an adjudicated insurrectionist.

    Defend against all his acts of insanity.

    Depose him through legal proceedings when needs be.

  4. France and the United Kingdom need to make clear that they *will* use nuclear weapons against the US in defense of NATO.

  5. If we could all just ignore when Trump says stuff, that would be great. Just wait until he actually does something.

  6. What’s a clown. It’s going to be a long four years.

  8. I am curious how long till Elon Musk will be declared persona non grata by some EU countries

    Any guess?

  9. All of this, and meanwhile trump continues to colour in his book of colour by numbers.

  10. Telling someone with reasonable and rational requests usually works 95% of the time but I’m afraid Trump’s delusions of never being told “no” and what not to do, will only embolden his false sense of entitlement to do the opposite.

  11. My scenario is that US civil war will break out as soon as Trump officially going to invade.

  12. Shame that Macron has to go. It is time for the EU to build its own military so we can defend ourselves not only against Russia but also our so called allies the US. To this end we need to withdraw from all nuclear nonproliferation treated and build a strategic nuclear Arsenal that can turn the world to ash.

  15. It would be hilarious if Trump got MAGAs to sign up in volunteer brigades and we slaughtered the shit out of the fat fascist fucks when they got shipped over the borders / waters in an invasion.

  16. One crazy grandpa decided to attack Ukraine, now another crazy trying to do the same. What is going on.. Can’t we have peace and safe the planet instead. No, let’s do a full-on war. For something we don’t even own (our planet)

  17. That time when i found out that France has a “warning shot” nuclear doctrine (°_° )

  18. Just treat that orange ape like the bitch he is. Put the nobody Musk on the persona non grata list and make sure Trump hears that no plane, including air force 1, gets to use EU sky with that X bitch aboard. These bastards don’t understand diplomatic talk, but they’ll listen to the same language they think is just reserved to them.

  19. You realise this guy has a life clock running out. Just pat him on the head, ignore the unfiltered old people rants and just give him some crayons.
    So what you voted for him and everyone acted surprised that he starts spouting crazy talk.
    The real leaders of the United States are going to let him get his way.

  20. Well, these are the consequences of putting 78 year old grandpa in power.

  21. Now I get it. He wants a reason to get out of NATO.

    Both him and Musk are implementing a step by step program to fracture the west and support Russia. A program to destroy liberal democracies and support totalitarian states. The liberal democracies (including the US) are their principal enemy.

    Both Donald Trump and Elon Musk, and the powerful people supporting them, are a clear and present danger to the security and integrity of the United States republic.

  23. Need to move to Asia before the Western world collapses from the fallout of civil wars and World War III, descending into destabilized, third-world conditions.

  25. Why does it seem like Dons plan is to burn every bridge we have with our current allies and at a “critical moment” we’ll just happen to “find” peace with Russia and China.

    Like he watched a bad spy movie and thought “lets do this”

  27. Why is Trump Jr allowed to go to Greenland with maga hats and encourage secession? Let alone advertise it?

  28. So the ‘Real Illuminati’ finally shows their face. Elon Musk, Trump, et al are now trying for a New World Order.

    Tear down the current world order, so they can loot the remains like when Soviet fell down.

    We are in for a ride.

  29. He is not good at putting America first. He just abuses relationships until they break. Yes relationships costs but that cost is nothing compared to being alone. When Europe or any other country realizes that this is just an abusive relationship they will cut ropes.

    Trump never understood soft power. He does not understand that working together produces more than just grab what others have (zero sum game).

    His whole actions talk antic’s war tactics. He does not understand that he is hurting America in the long run it just does not care.

    He never will create anything. He will destroy what’s there and tell everyone what a good deal he got when selling the scraps.

  31. It’s like « The Handmaid’s Tale » but in real life.

  32. Just pointing out that currently Russian ideology as pushed by Alexandr Dugin, and followed by Putin, sees the world divided into speheres of infuence: Russian from the North-East Pacific to the Western Edge of Europe, China south through South-East Asia and the Pacific, and the USA all of the Americas and the Atlantic to the English Channel.

    Trump is just dividing the world with Putin.

  33. The far right is being well manipulated by likes of Putin; this is playing very well into Russia, China, Iran and friends hands, they sow division and now it’s taking off

  35. When he first ran for president, every tiny thing he said was splashed in the media throughout the world.

    The things he said were so outlandish and surreal.

    8 years (or more?) later, and it’s become ‘just another Tuesday.’

  36. Wait, is all of this nonsense just because Trump sees Putin and Xi as his role models (which therefore entails emitting a load of belligerent ill-conceived BS and threats.)

  37. Hey France, looking to export some nukes? We have some space available in Canada. Venez aider les cousins!

  38. Be calm USA forces occupied your territory already. Just call amount of US military bases, weapons type.

    Why you are so worried?

  39. Don’t be surprised if the US joins Russia in their invasion of Europe

  40. So Trump has threatened Canada, EU, Mexico and Panama. I mean, if they collectively decide to put tariffs on US products and jack up transit fees the US economy would be spiraling out of control. Most of US industry is service based and not manufacturing, there is very little they make themselves. So unless they’re planning on Facebook making pots and pans, and Tesla dishwashers they should settle the F down, because US can be isolated and very quickly. The world can go on without Microsoft Windows and Apple products.

    And China would be more then happy to join the tariff party, I’m sure they already have people on standby to blow up the tariff celebration balloons.

    That said, if I was the opposition, I would keep enticing him to say all sorts of idiotic things, because this will drive a rift between “allies”, because these threats maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow, but later on when the younger generation grows up will come back to bite the US long after this idiot is out of office. Not only that, but already you see and hear about countries making trade agreements that bypass US.

  41. Danish Afghanistan veteran here.

    I am so disappointed in the US foreign policy.
    We fucking fought, bled and died with American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. When the US invoked article 5 post 9/11 we where there. We supported the US with an all in attitude. If you think we were just a small supporting nation just helping with logistics and camp maintenance, watch armadillo. This was our afghanistan war for 10+ years. Furthermore we’ve been there in every American and UN led conflict since the 90’s. Kosovo, Cyprus, Libya, the balcans you name it. Every time we answered the call.

    Cut to 20 years later. The threat of use of force against our sovereign nation, economic pressure and hateful rethoric from what we believed to be one of our closest allies.

    America have got all that they wanted in Greenland since 1949: Thule airbase, radar stations, ICBM. If you really wanted to protect your national security interests in the region all you had to do was ask. We would coordinate, support and join your efforts in securing the arctic region. But this American rethoric is just pissing in the face of one of your closest allies for the past 80 years.

  43. I wish I could filter Reddit out for anything Trump and Elon. So much bullshit and noise. Had 4 years of that mad man, he’s not even president.

    I felt bad for him when he got almost shot, but now I feel the world would be a lot more peaceful without the mad man.
