Congrats!

Wait… the EU limits members’ spending on defense? How does that work?

Not to mention being totally unsafe for any immigrant who crosses Trump.

Understandable. But they may have no choice. A flat 25% tariff on all US goods and an extra 100% on anything made with at least 51% components produced in red states would be an appropriate response, I think.

Well, it’s a start

Russian, Chinese, or US. They’re all spouting the same garbage these days

US: You need to stand on your own! You’re pathetic!

Also the US: We didn’t mean it! Sit back down!

Actually, he’d probably be a great asset: easily manipulated, not smart enough to realize it, not likely to try and escape. With President Musk handling him, it seems he’d be just about the best asset.

By this argument, we should never trust any survey outcome because we can never be 100% sure that no one lied. Even in personal interviews, people can lie.

Maybe I missed the point?

If it was a random representative sample, what difference does it make that it was conducted online?

In the US, all these notices are called “Travel Advisories.” They range from Level 1 Normal Precautions to Level 4 Do Not Travel. A US publication might not get the terminology exactly right in its English version.

That said, good on every country advising against US travel right now. It’s even less safe than usual.

What about the AI generated translation?

Or worse, renting or “licensing” weapons.

The problem is that its leaders only seem to understand a language that most sane people are unwilling to speak.

Well then all they have to do is quit starting them. Easy peasy.

Am I the only one who thinks Putin would be stupid not to agree? All he has to do is wait long enough to force Ukrainian elections, then reinvade. Problem solved for him.

While I wholeheartedly support their idea, one must also note the irony of coordinating action via Facebook.

He, of course, will have no problem if China is invited to the table. Especially if he can figure out how to tank any peace deal to protect Beijing’s weapons sales and economic benefits from supporting Russia.

It’s mind boggling that Washington has tried to cut Ukraine out of discussions about their own country. Although I’m sure Trump envisions a chain of golf courses and resorts across Donetsk and Luhansk

I have never been more ashamed of the US. And I lived through the Cheney Administration

Agreed on all counts
