90k members in a country of 143 million people is not a significant size. There’s also no actual evidence of Russia working with Israel. In fact, Russia’s main ally in the region is Iran which is a mortal enemy of Israel. You don’t need insane conspiracy theories to explain why Trump wants Greenland and why the US is pulling out of NATO. There are obvious explanations for both.

Trump taking over Greenland would instantly put him in history books, and anything else he does will be irrelevant. This is the one thing he’ll be remembered for. Being incredibly vain, this is an obvious move for him to try and secure his spot in history.

Meanwhile, NATO ceased having any relevance for the US after it became clear that NATO lost the war in Ukraine. The original plan was to put massive sanctions on Russia, have Ukraine hold out for a while, and try to crash Russian economy to effect regime change. Then, the west would partition Russia, put in puppet regimes, extract resources, and surround China from the west. This was literally the plan that was spelled out in a paper by RAND. Of course, it didn’t turn out like that, which is incidentally is one of the risks RAND listed. Russia managed to successfully reorient its economy towards the Global South and to kick start domestic industries. Now, Russia is outproducing all of NATO militarily, and it’s clear that Russia will win the war.

So, Europe has no value for the US at this point because NATO cannot defeat Russia. The US doesn’t see Russia as a threat to itself, it’s no longer ideological opposition the way USSR was. The real threat from the US perspective is China because it’s an alternative system that’s now proving itself to be superior. The US is cutting its losses in Europe, so it can retrench and prepare for a confrontation with China that it is planning.

This is also basically spelled out in the 2026 National Defense Strategy that was just published https://dialecticaldispatches.substack.com/p/the-2026-us-defense-strategy-is-a

That’s pure nonsense. There is only one version of international law and the UN is the only globally recognized organization to enforce it. These other organization are just unilateral tools of specific countries representing their interests. And sanctions such as the ones the west does against their adversaries are unilateral actions by these states.

Yes, Bessent was just bragging about this in Davos. These aren’t international sanctions, they’re not approved by the UN. These are unilateral sanctions by the Burger Reich and their vassals used as a form of siege warfare against Iran.

I mean one is a documented fact, and the other is a conspiracy theory democrats were spreading that’s now widely known to be a hoax?

Also, people really need to get their conspiracy theories on who is controlling Putin straight. Is it Dugin, is it some weird Jewish sect that’s virtually unknown in Russia, is it the aliens?

lmao after like a decade of Russiagate, we see which country actually has been interfering in the US politics and compromised the whole political system

I didn’t check the date. :)

While these policies obviously harm Americans as well, their impact on Canada shouldn’t be dismissed. The reality is that the percentage of the US economy that’s dependent on trade with Canada is far smaller than the reverse. The harm to Canadian exports would be quite significant. Of course, the only rational thing for Canada to do here is to suck up short term pain and continue diversifying. The fact that we allowed our economy to become so dependent on trade with the US is the reason we’re in this mess in the first place.

Yes, you’re right, Russia brutally punishes people who tell the truth about a genocide it’s involved in by starving them in prison. Oh wait, my bad, that’s the UK regime doing these things. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Prisoners_for_Palestine_hunger_strike

Are you using a metaphor to describe the contents of your mind here?

I see liberals are manifesting again

you get a gold star for memorizing every propaganda talking point

Can you point out to a single thing in the article that’s incorrect, or you’re just having a fit because it’s a domain your state media taught you not to like?

Immediately resorting to personal attacks when people call out our idiotic comments shows beyond all doubt who’s not well here.

Basically what we’re seeing is that sectarian infighting is becoming the norm in Syria. It’s not about oil, it’s about ISIS doing ethnic cleansing against all the minorities. I think he’s completely right saying that will ultimately tear Syria apart, and why it was important for the west to put jihadists into power there.

His views on Assad might be romanticized, but you have to remember that Syria was under US military occupation and brutal sanctions.

There could be an aspect of cognitive decline there as well.

This could become one of the most important historical documents that inaugurated the massive expansion of the US territory. 🤣

Not as small as the European politicians eating shit and calling him daddy.

That’s the beauty of having a cult though.

I feel like this sort of stuff is an intentional insult to the Europeans, like he’s not even trying to maintain any sort of decorum. And the key part is that he knows he doesn’t have to, no matter what he demands, or how crudely, the Europeans will eventually oblige.
