To wonder what US Trump voters think now

[Indiependant]

Their country's reputation trashed. The man they voted for heavily implicated in the Epstein scandal. Contempt shown to them abroad.
About to completely shift Ukraine. Enabling Netanyahu to commit mass murder of children with their tax dollars. No roaring economy. The environment fucked probbaky beyond saving due to their inaction.
What, in all honesty, do the 75 million who have caused this catastrophe think?

Oh we didn’t save any money at all in the US. Living in the US was insanely expensive compared to the UK at the time. We went to go and try something different, as we did with other overseas opportunities.

ETA: I find it interesting that Americans always think that you’ve gone to work in the US for some kind of better life; it’s as if they can’t comprehend that you might look at it as a relatively safe hardship posting.

Yep fox news view again
Everyone else saw that oval office meeting for what it was. Vile.
Stop funding the war if that's what you want but that performance was shameful and everyone outside magaland laughed at them

Has putin not told you what to say about these?

Not just the territory he currently holds, Witkoff was prepared to give Putin territory that he doesn't currently hold - territory that Putin has spent the last 12 years failing to capture, and which would allow the Russians in past the fortifications which protect the rest of Ukraine.

How much money did we in the UK spend assisting the US with its many ill-fated military escapades? Perhaps we should have demanded to know whether Dubya even owns a suit.

Putin is weakened by Maduro going

Goodness, your hooting is ghastly.

How exactly is Putin weakened? Venezuela is an ally of Russia, yes, and they might have bought some oil, but that couldn’t have been much as Russia has massive supplies of their own of higher quality. So how?

I agree with the last part of this, Sabrina. I had the opportunity of taking up a posting in St. Louis, MO. At the time I had a young family, lived on the other side of the world, and my DH would have had to change his job to move too. We already had great jobs and lifestyles with family around us. We decided to stay where we were and never regretted it.

@24kPalamino @RingoJuice any comments on Greenland or Canada? Or do you have your limits?

Maybe you should have, since it was such an ill-conceived military failure

Well St Louis is not a safe city. You’d have been foolish to take that tbh

I would hope Denmark can be acquired peacefully. Should be able to pay a very nice sum for it.

Canada to me is just a joke. I certainly wouldn’t want it. Seems needlessly crass since our northern neighbors really need to be on our side wrt to China in particular.

Yes , the swing voters in Pennsylvania, Michigan , Wisconsin , Arizona, Nevada. They may as well just hold the elections in those states. Save lots of money and pointless air travel for the candidates and press corps. Or perhaps just poll the swing counties in those states and call it that?

Crazy and hopelessly corrupt system. But it offers controlled opposition and the illusion of choice. Even if the Dems win they will lose Congress two years later . Then they'll say ' Aw shucks, we were just about to fix health, education and housing too but hey ....'

And so on ad nauseum.

Sorry, Denmark?

Happily enough, I don’t need to say that about a city in my own country.

Well don’t adopt soft-on-crime policies then. Because yes, the revolving door in the criminal justice system has made cities like St Louis/Detroit/Baltimore very unsafe.

lol obviously I meant Greenland

Hopefully?
You know they dont want to be part of the US ? ( although everyone has their price). So if they say no? What action would be acceptable? What if other superpowers do the same is that ok?

And if not?

Let’s see if they come to some sort of agreement. I hope Denmark could sell it, as it’s not like they will do much with it, both in the economic and military sense. So why not sell it to those who can?

Absolutely. Europe has sleepwalked into this - it's been obvious for a very long time that, at best, the USA will put itself first in any 'special relationship'. They are always transactional. Throughout this century, Europe ought to have been looking to its own interests with far more gusto. Remember those who bleated about the (fictional) EU army? Doesn't seem like such a bad idea now, does it?

“Sell it”. Who talks about countries this way? Who made you feel like you could talk other countries this way?

Remembering people live there too, of course. Don’t forget them in your buying fantasy.

America has a long history of purchasing land from other countries. Greenland’s population is less than what, 60,000 people? Barely even a city. It would be to their advantage to join with a richer country that can actually extract resources (experience in Alaska) and develop it properly

Denmark will do little more than sit on it

It seems incredible that by winning one of these states by a tiny margin you get every last electoral college vote (except for two states which do at least try to do things fairly)

Yup. Helping himself to their oil more like, and when there’s no more benefit for him he’ll abandon them to whatever corrupt gang is waiting in the wings to takeover, usually someone who’s even worse than the guy they took out, Iraq and ISIS all over again.
