      Oh jeeesus

      Does he know that the Norway doesn’t control the Nobel board?

      Also Fuck Trump and this stupid letter. What has he done for NATO except extortion and existential crises? It used to be an effective tool until he got involved.

        Trump is a cult leader; it doesn’t really matter whether what he says makes any logical sense or not. It only matters that his brainwashed followers like, believe, and/or get behind whatever ridiculous thing he’s planning to do next

        He wants to punish us for not being corrupt enough. Hope this is a clear sign for everyone here to deinvest away from anything US, as that is the only language the orange dumbbell speaks.

      Its actually incredible how Trump can continuously behave like this, while governments all over the world still bend the knee to him.

        Looking at the rest of the news this morning, I really don’t think “bending the knee” describe what world leaders are doing at all. For example, Canada just re-started relations with China and is increasingly looking like they might buy a fleet of Gripens instead of F-35s, and the EU signed a free trade agreement with MERCOSUR. Everyone is drifting away from the US. They are just doing so quietly, after all, the US is still the world’s biggest economic and military force.

          This.

          The manbaby is not smart enough to understand politics. He just understands force. By not doing anything “by force”, he just keeps being a manbaby while the world drifts away from him without him even realizing.

          What’s going to happen here is that one day, the turd will start another tantrum and, instead of saying “yes, sir, you are right, now let’s keep being friends”, the same people will just look away the same way a parent ignores a kid throwing a tantrum over a snack they did not get.

          Yeah i know they have been quietly working in the background to replace the US, but its too slow and they so far arent seriously considering the methods that would truly hurt the US regime. As long as they dont directly target the tech sector and remove this insane vulnerability at the core of our society, government and infrastructure, we will always be lagging behind. The EU cant be independent while we depend on Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Apple, Meta, Twitter, AMD, Nvidia, Intel, Cisco, IBM, etc. All those companies are ticking time bombs that could at any point disable large parts of our public and private infrastructure if they were ordered to do so by Trump.

        I think his handlers are starting to think there’s a real opportunity to dissolve NATO, or at least get the US to leave/kicked out. Think how liberating that could be for…certain people. How hard it would be for the US MIC to lose all of those exports.
