What shocks me the most is the amount of lies Trump tells, even after being corrected, and the American press don't call him out on it. He's lied about how much America has given in aid, repeatedly, claimed anything Europe has given is on loan, claimed that America has given more than Europe etc.

America is turning into North Korea 2.0 with the amount of propaganda they're pushing out.

The American press are worried about being banned from the White House. AP have already been banned: they refused to recommend a change from Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, on the grounds that for their international audience the former is more appropriate.

Almost all the press, even Fox News, defended them. However a judge upheld the ban. I don’t know anything more.

America gave Ukraine OLD as outdated to them military equipment. To destroy this equipment would have coat billions of dollars. So....they gave it to Ukraine. Any funds given to Ukraine were spent in America to American munitions companies to fund amunitions. So America hasn't done too bad out of this war financially.

It's certainly not the case that all US equipment was due for disposal, though, by a long shot.

I wouldn't want the genuine effort by the US to be written out of the story, just because there are now people overstating it.

Imagine if your country was bombed because the aggressor didn't like your ideologies or felt threatened by you. Then the victim responded by getting their allies to help defend them. ...9/11 anyone. Some Americans seem to have forgotten how the world supported them following 9/11.

They're also forgetting that Ukraine had to give up their nuclear protection to appease Putin before on the proviso America and Eupose offered some security...and yet here we are Ukrainenlost Crimwa the last time Putin attacjed them not they're expected to relinquish more land to appease putin...anyone seeing the pattern here...let putin regroup and rearm and we will be back here in a few years following more Russian broken.promises.

I don't think screaming for diplomacy is how diplomacy works!

It was the least diplomatic, statement like meeting I think I have ever seen. Why is it acceptable to speak like that to anyone, let alone when you are the president.

I think Alanis Morrisette needs to get her guitar back out and write another verse to isn't it ironic!!

But Trump thinks diplomacy is the root of all evil. It’s a business deal, don’t you know? Except in the world of people born rich and who have never actually earned their money honestly, “business deal,” doesn’t mean a mutually beneficial arrangement, it means the man with the biggest thumbscrews and least principles wins the prize.

MrsPernicious · 02/03/2025 11:22

Reuters have also been banned from the White House.

I guess this post reflects the very essence of the problem that the world has right here. Some people simply don't have the cognitive ability to properly comprehend the nuances of what's actually going on, so they are very easily manipulated into thinking whatever the populist leaders want them to believe.

We've seen it happen at various points in history, but it's truly terrifying to see it playing out in real time.

So tell us, what is actually going on?

America doesn't want its money back.?

America should spend more on the war?

Trump loves Putin and hates Zelensky?

Trump is a Russian spy?

Trump really doesn't want peace?

America is afraid of Russia?

America can't defend itself if Russia invades America?

What exactly are the nuances in all this? Pray tell.

American men are lining up to join their army in record numbers without having to be dragged off the streets and beaten into submission. Not seen the footage or have you been protected from that.

How are the countries in Europe doing? Do you believe there will be a European army? Seeing is believing but I wouldn't bet on it.

Trump likes Russian prostitutes and laundering Russian money.

Trump has basically looked round the world and made friends with any fellow leaders with criminal backgrounds, whether Netenyahu or Putin. Basically, anyway with a background in fraud, bribery and corruption.

My comment was intended to highlight the nature of the problem to other posters rather than to try to change your mind.

If you really want to understand the nuance if what's going on, there is plenty of information and analysis already out there. But I don't think you're genuinely interested so I'm not going to waste my time. Sometimes, it's better to accept that people are too far gone to bother.

Sometimes people just spout things to make themselves seem intelligent and superior when they have nothing to say. Sounds good but saying zilch. An easy get out tactic without saying anything at all.
A tactic many politicians use.

If everyone thinks he is an idiot then those countries don't have to do business with him. It's totally up to them what they do.
But governments work for the people, so regardless of their PERSONAL feelings about an individual, business is business.

Most people wouldn't take such issue with trump if he wasn't totally unhinged.

He appeased, kkk, far right narratives and groups, has a sidekick who supports the afd in Germany and throws the odd nazi salute. Then there's vance who supported the anti Indian rascist who was working with Elon...which as bad as it is, seems worse because his own wife is Indian, nit ti mention his 2 half Indian children.
Then there's the putin phonecalls and the livestreaming Russian media in the Whitehouse.
He shuts down any difference of opinion wants to remain unchallenged in any way and so shuts down media groups and broadcasters because it hurts his baby feelings. Dictator much
If he had any kind of historical worthiness it might not seem so bad but he is a confirmed sexual abuser, bankrupt, conman, never paid his workers, has taken funds from his charities, had a collapsed university, airline and laughably casino. He is currently raiding the government to give money to billionaires and making the little guy on the street pay for it. Given musk 2 contracts worth a billion dollars over the last month while musk chops every department into little pieces using his rascist 18 year olds to do it.

Will we mention the meme coins and the bible, trainers, 'gold' coin selling grifts?

...currently food prices are up, inflation is up, stocks are down, no Medicaid no medicare, no social security, veterans shit upon, no child cancer research....I could go on.

America voted him in but by god will they pay for it....and of this I am absolutely sure no matter how much flag hugging and ymca dancing ...he doesn't give 2 figs about ANYONE but himself.

Ps if you're talking to him ask him how his bone spurs are these days...you'd think they would hamper all that golf he he has managed since he took office.

I gave up with Odin earlier today myself. It's just too exhausting arguing with someone who is being deliberately irrational and refuses to engage in fact-based discussion. Although it's frustrating to give up too, as this is their tactic: flood the zone; exhaust your opponents.

Odin has still not refuted my comment that they're a Russian bot...

Odin2018 · 02/03/2025 12:10

Stop with the racist bull. He has helped out alot of people of colour, backs in university, he is married to a woman of colour. What planet are you on. Stop with the racist bull. It's not working anymore with Trump getting more of the people of colour vote then the left in this last election. No one is buying the whoa is me racist card any longer - they see right through it.

Come back in 3 years time and let's see how America is doing. If I put a bet on I would bet that people as a whole will do better under Trump that under the previous presidency. Will come back to this thread.

How far are you willing to let Putin grab territory? That didn’t end well in WW2 did it? Do you want to spend far more further down the line or nip it in the bud at Ukraine now?Which do you think will cost more?

Remember Russia is their ally now 🙄
