  1. Trump said that Russia and the USA historically did well in fighting the Nazis together, ignoring literally everything that happens afterwards during the cold war and the US decades long fight against communism.

    Who is the enemy, Eurasia or Eastasia? Just rewrite history on who is who. People don’t care, right?

  2. Ι guess nobody ever saw the Manchurian Candidate…

  4. We all can cry and b*tch about it, but the question is, is Europe ready and flexible enough to tackle this massive shift in international relations? Already on Day 1 of Trump 2.0 was it clear that he intended to institute a kind of Monroe Doctrine and conduct a rapprochement with Russia to tackle China, but at that time [the German establishment was still busy with academic issues like democratic backsliding in the US](https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-leaked-memo-germany-us-trade-nato-military-defense/) instead of whether Germany itself was prepared for the shift. Of course in the end it caught itself with its pants off.

    If it has not been obvious from the “emergency summit” yesterday, Europe is not at all ready for this massive change. National populists in Europe are also leading in the polls in many countries, especially France and the UK. Marine Le Pen has a good chance of winning in 2027, what is Europe going to do about it?

  5. JD already went on “europe is a bigger threat then china or russia”

  7. Good thing that the joystick has Putin’s name, otherwise I would have no idea what the image is about.

  8. Just quoting 1984 or other literary work without understanding similarities in context that makes comparisons appropriate makes you look less not more literate.

  9. De Facto president of the US mr Musk called Lavrov “competent leader” in his x platform lol.

    This guys are batshit crazy traitors and russia bootlickers.

  10. Europe could simply use pivot to China. China is like 100 years ahead of the U.S. in development in terms of infrastructure.

  11. Trump and his admin have more in common with China and Russia. He also doesnt see alliances and history between countries. He sees alliances and history between him and other leaders. He likes Putin as a person more than he likes Zelensky as a person. Thats it.

  12. Tbf in the book it’s not that engsoc actually change and switch alliances, that we know of, it’s more like they switch the narrative when they need it. Trump could be doing the same who really knows

  13. I’ve read that this “steer to Russia” of the US could be because Trump, that we all know sees in China not Russia the real threat to the US world leadership (and he’s mostly right about this), doesn’t want Russia to completely fall apart and become a Chinese subsidiary because that would strenghten China’s position.

  14. His voters are the biggest hypocrites you’ll find on the planet. Not even religious people are this bad.

    At least religious people can point to magic and say they believe in magic.

    These people say one thing, proven that it’s wrong and the best they can come up with is “fake news”. I respect religious people pointing to the invisible wizard in the sky more.

    At least they know they need to leave logic and reason behind while Trump voters believe they are within logic and reason.

  15. 500 million Europeans are waiting for 320 million Americans to protect them from 100 million Russians who cannot defeat 30 million Ukrainians in three years.

    Maybe it’s time to stop being pathetic and protect ourselves from the dirty barbarians who are eager to steal our toilets?

  16. Trump was very anti-NATO and anti-EU in his first term, and ahead of this election he only stepped up his anti-euro propaganda. I’m 100% positive that no one in the world is surprised or didnt expected this except for European leaders.

  17. Americans, ‘we got guns to protect us from tyranny’, votes in tyranny, collaborates with tyranny. Any opposition uses social media to have a moan…..guess all those school kids died for nothing.

  18. It’s quite depressing that:

    Step1: be a shitty leader and international figure
    Step2: your actions are rightfully punished which won’t affect you just your country, as you siphon as much out of it as you need to don’t feel it personally
    Step3: your ppl suffer
    Step4: despite you almost single handedly being responsible for their sufferings, blame it on those who “hit back” and you’re reelected as the saviour

  20. Should be posted on r/politics , there is a lack of European perspective there.

  22. What are you talking about?  We have always been at war with Eurasia. 

  23. His voters approve. They don’t see the writing on the wall or the long term effects of turning on the allies who were instrumental in their rise to world power. I bet they’ll have a blast dealing with their massive debts once Europe starts investing more in themselves instead of in the US.

  24. The US somehow became literally Springfield from the Simpsons.

  25. The fact Trump thinks he’s really on the same intellectual level as Putin is laughable.

    Vlad is old school KGB/FSB trained and knows how to read people and control them. Play them. Not to mention, he has most likely ended people with his own hands. Meanwhile, Donny needed a stripper just to give himself a happy ending!

    I can only imagine what a gift it is to the Kremlin having an idiot like Trump in the Whitehouse. Probably like having an obedient puppy to train. Give him a command and when he does good, give him a pat on the head!

  27. Oceania has been at war with easier Asia Oceania has always been at war with east Asia

  28. Does Musk have his own joystick, or do they share the same one?

  29. Boycott US products. Hit them where it hurts them the most. In their wallet.

  30. Get rid of your us/russian communications NOW!

    Find European alternatives.

    Use Linux Mint, not Windows.
    Use Fedora Linux, not Apple.
    Use Lineage, not Android or OSX.
    Use F-droid, not “app-stores”.
    Use Mastodon, not X or Bluesky.
    Use Pixelfed, not Instagram.
    Use Signal, not Whatsapp.
    Use MistralAI, not ChatGPT.
    Use Diaspora, not Facebook.
    Use FunkWhale, not Bandcamp/Soundcloud.
    Use Lemmy, not Reddit.

    Avoid American internet services!

  31. I’m sorry but Trump also views russia as a bad country. Actually every country outside from the USA is viewed as bad.

  32. MAGA is a cult and they will go down with the ship still praising it!

  34. I dunno he’s been pretty consistently in Putin’s pocket for the last 8 years

  37. Mark my words: The US will switch sides when Ukraine does not accept being plundered and dismantled by the US and Russia.

  38. What the fuck you mean just accept it I knew this was going to happen since day 1. Everyone know Putin and trump are spooning bubdies. I do not accept shit the other ship might but not me

  39. “Officially the change of partners had never happened. Oceania was at war with Eurasia: therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible.”

    George Orwell, 1984
