President orders Pentagon to scale back ‘inappropriate and hostile’ exercises with South Korea Andy Burnham exchanged messages with someone impersonating Donald Trump’s chief of staff, the Guardian understands. The UK prime minister was in contact with an unknown individual pretending to be the senior White House aide Susie Wiles before concerns were raised about the incident. No messages of significance were sent and the suspicious activity was quickly reported to the appropriate authorities, it is underst…
Well done USA. this is why democracies around the world don’t trust you anymore.
I wonder who Americans will elect next? Maybe J. D. Vance or Pete Hegseth? Unless of course they can find someone even more crazy. 😬
It’s absolutely insane that USA isn’t even moderately on the side of democracy anymore. But instead favor enemies of democracy, and have themselves become an enemy to democracy too.
Ivanka will inherit the White House. Democracy in the US is dead and gone.
Too many times I’ve thought the madness was over, and Americans had learned something. But apparently the American voters never learn.
That Bush was reelected was crazy, and even his mental 2nd term didn’t teach Americans anything, so they later elected Trump, and even that wasn’t bad enough for some sense to seep in among half the American voters, so they freaking elected him for a 2nd term, despite warnings it would 100% for sure be even worse than the first time.
I don’t trust the American voters have learned anything even now. Ivanka inheriting the White House should be a bad joke. But it’s not really. It is a potential future USA faces.
Trump already tried once to take control of the White House with violence, and it seems a near certainty he will try again unless he dies first. And on 2nd try he will have the advantage of experience, while the checks and balances that already haven’t worked, are even further undermined.
You can just call it “the American Regime.” We’ve been that way a long time if anyone stands in the way of corporate profits, or capitalism… but now we’re just mask off fully because we have an idiot in charge.
There used to be a synergy between supporting freedom democracy and having the economy thrive on it.
USA is now disregarding and throwing overboard everything that made USA the world leader with the most allies of any country ever.
Which supporting freedom democracy did we support? Are you just not counting the socialist and communist democracies our CIA overthrew and installed a pro capitalist dictator?
Believing the USA was ever a “freedom democracy” supporter is pure delusion.
You are very very wrong.
When they liberated Europe and the world in WW2 from the axis powers together with England, Canada and many other allies, there is no doubt USA supported freedom and democracy. And even granted the conquered countries their freedom.
So USA’s identity stems from 1945 years ago after a world war, and not the other most recent 80 years of despicable, anti democratic behavior?
I fail to see how that’s not completely delusional.
You just wrote in past tense, giving me the freedom to use the most obvious example that you are wrong.
Here you even use EVER, further legitimizing my point.
You are moving the goal post, and absolutely USA has been helping democracies like for instance South Korea and Taiwan a lot, even Japan could be included in that list. And the formation of NATO to protect democracies against Soviet Union and now Russia is also an example.
Trump is not a NATO supporter, he is on the contrary trying to destroy it. And NATO is absolutely created with the main objective to defend democracies on both sides of the Atlantic.
