Trump threatens 200% tariffs on French wine and champagne after Macron refuses to join 'board of peace'

and deserve death
What? I never said any such thing. But yes of course Russia has been the enemy of EU for a long time, even before invading Ukraine, because they've manipulated European politics, something friendly states simply don't do. Incidentally USA has done the same several times since Trump became President.Obviously Russia is an enemy since they've invaded a peaceful European democracy.And now USA is threatening the same, threatening to invade Greenland, despite they've been allies with Denmark for 85 years. And Denmark has been among the most faithful allies to USA.
But no I am not calling for the death of either all Americans or all Russians, that is hyperbole that is happening in your mind.Most likely if USA invades Greenland there will be very little to no military response. The response will be very strong economically though, and the threat alone has already almost completely destroyed the NATO alliance. USA is a bigger enemy now than China! Think about it! We trust USA less than we trust China now!How do you think that will influence support for USA in the future?
But using Russia as a comparative example is pretty spot on, because USA is behaving like Russia now.

Americans Are the Ones Paying for Tariffs, Study Finds

Next thing they'll say Mexico didn't pay for the wall either.Maybe even that the economy isn't actually doing that great and unemployment is increasing.Or that USA doesn't really need Greenland for security.It's like a smear campaign against Trump, as if he was lying all the time.This is liberal propaganda, you can clearly tell because they use facts, and everybody know that facts have a strong liberal bias.A serious reporter should report both sides equally!/s

It's not hate, I'm just stating an obvious fact, that USA is now an enemy to democracy and the international rule of law, and also to human rights.How am I a fascist for pointing out a fundamental problem of USA that goes way beyond Trump?There are good people in USA, but they are still part of a system that has now become our enemy.

Politically I am very much a moderate, and I have to realize that there is absolutely nothing moderate about USA as a country right now. USA isn't even a real democracy, considering they have only 2 right wing parties. 1 is far right, the other is extreme right.

Especially when it's a democracy, although USA always was a dysfunctional democracy, the people did have the power to prevent Trump.

It's awful yes, but it's a fact.USA as a country is an enemy, and technically that means all Americans.If the sane Americans can change things back to normal in USA, this would end.But as it is, when USA as a country is an enemy, the population of that country becomes an enemy too. Because it's the population that allow the government to function as it does.

You are among those that allowed it to come to this. All Americans are responsible for failing to do more, as it is the entirety of American society. Although everybody is not equally responsible of course.

The American people as a whole is allowing it.Yes some resist, but in total Trump and his administration is allowed to break the law over and over again. Sometimes even legalized by the supreme court.

USA as a country is finished compared to what it once was, it has descended into complete sociopathy and disregard for the law and human rights, and any decency is long gone, where even legal immigrants and citizens are thrown out the country while illegal immigrants like Elon Musk and Melania Trump get a pass because they are rich. And USA as a country behaves decidedly like a mafia towards other countries and their leaders, even including long time allies.

Like it or not, if you are American you are fucking part of that, and if you aren't actively resisting, you are contributing to the madness. And it is way way far from half the population of USA that is actively resisting. So for sure the majority of the American population is STILL enabling this shit show.

There's a reason Americans are unpopular, not just Trump and the administration.There are good Americans, but they are such a small minority, when a malignant narcissist which is just about the worst personality disorder that exist can be elected President with half the votes, and about 40% of the population not bothering to vote.2 thirds of the American population either wanted Trump, or didn't mind enough to vote against him.That is a very clear indication that USA as a society has gone insane and has become sociopathic.

USA as a country is our enemy now, not just the GOP. USA as a country and as a society is an enemy because of the administration they collectively elected and collectively allow to continue.But obviously Americans that oppose the system are not as much enemies, how much of a dimwit do you have to be to have to have that pointed out?

Edit:USA is de facto our (EU) enemy now, and they are an enemy of democracy and the international law based order.Every American is part of US society, they work there, live there and have their economy and pay taxes there, and by that they are supporting the American regime even if it is unwilling, and they help funding of the USA military.This technically goes for even people like AOC and Bernie who I politically support. if people like AOC and Bernie came to power, we would have no problem normalizing relations with USA again, at least for 4 years. Obviously things can never go back to the way they were before, they could obviously become a lot better than they are now. But we can never really trust USA again, when they have such a huge portion of their population that will vote for someone worse than a psychopath, and too thirds either support him or don't mind having a malignant narcissist for president.

So most definitely this problem is not limited to MAGA or GOP, it's based in a mental sickness of the American society, where narcissism is seen as an expression of freedom. The US society is sick like when a person is sick with cancer. Not all cells in the body are cancerous, but enough are to make the body terminally ill. And that is how USA is today.We can't judge USA by the good and non crazy people in USA, because they are not in power, and they are unable to reign in the insanity that is going on.Saying we should consider USA based on them too, would be like considering Germany during WW2 on the fact that they also had a Jewish minority. Politically and regarding how Germany behaved that was completely irrelevant. And in the same way the people that try to resist Trump are irrelevant, because they have zero impact on how USA behaves as a country.But no I don't judge Americans that voted against Trump, or Americans that are trying to resist. I wish more would do that. Fighting Trump is a worthy fight.But it seems many Americans find it hard to accept that USA is now an enemy. Not Trump, not MAGA, not GOP. But USA as a country.

The problem is not Trump it’s the enablers who won’t stop him

Exactly, and there are way to few that are willing to risk anything to try to stop him.I just saw a video by an analyst (Anders Puck Nielsen) that dismissed the idea that Trump would invade Greenland, because he claimed Trump wouldn't be allowed to do it.This is a channel I very much respect for usually having very good analysis of the current situation.But in this case, it was just so far off I was shocked. Because obviously Trump wouldn't ask permission, and the people in the administration actually want him to do it.And we've seen evidence the military is already preparing, forming the Arctic force under.Trump has all the support he needs to do it, believing someone would stop him is ridiculous.

Yes, that's kind of true. The problem is not only an insane President, but also that the checks and balances are also to a large degree corrupt and insane.Especially the supreme court.

Moldovan president backs unification with Romania

Jump

Buffalox @lemmy.world 23h ago

I agree that it would be a good idea for EU to help Romania if Moldova becomes part of Romania again.But I don't think Moldovan independence is the stumbling block here, as they've expressed interest in reunifying with Romania multiple times.Regarding Transnistria, I think their love for Russia will decline dramatically when no help is coming from Russia anymore. And AFAIK that is a problem for them already.Russia supplied gas to Transnistria, but send the bill to Moldova. But the agreement between Ukraine and Russia to transport gas to Transnistria was not renewed.Transnistria thought thy could continue to receive gas for almost free as a humanitarian aid from Russia.

Transnistria is currently running on huge budget deficits of 40% last year, as gas from Russia is missing, and export of electricity to Moldova has been halted because Moldova doesn't want to buy from them anymore. These deficits have no signs of improving, because Transnistria simply doesn't have any options as long as they choose to depend on Russia.

AFAIK the problem is more that Romania isn't that interested.I'm guessing it will be expensive for Romania like the reunification with East Germany was for West Germany.And where West Germany was ready to take that cost, Romania is not as economically strong as West Germany was.If Moldova could qualify for EU membership however, I think that would clearly be an option.

Your claim is completely baseless, USA is going down the shitter, and so is Russia. But when Russia is defeated in Ukraine, the rest of the world will be fine. USA can piss right off, we don't need them. If they continue their bullshit, there are already talk in EU that we may need to invalidate US patents, to take control of our infrastructure. IDK if you are American, but you definitely sound like it. Americans tend to think USA is the center of the world, but they aren't anymore. And their political influence is diminishing fast. In Germany even AfD has denounced Trump after his threats against Greenland.I have no fear for our future in EU, and I have no fear for our democracy, because we still use our democracy actively, as could be seen recently when we demonstrated against USA, a demonstration that far exceeded anything in USA under Trump on a per Capita basis, despite Greenland doesn't have any impact on daily life in Denmark, and Greenland cost us money because we don't steal their ressources.
