    It appears the situation has developed not necessarily to our advantage.

    Mission Accomplished!

    A world screwed by a mouth breathing MAGA cult. I guess democracies should have programmatic indicators when the idiocy levels start increasing. Countries that cross a bunch of "idiocy indicators" will need intervention.

    There is something seriously wrong with american system where a felon can become president and steal openly.

      Who's going to intervene on the country with the largest nuclear arsenal in the world?

      Nearly the entire political class here has wanted this war for decades, but held back because they knew how risky and unpopular it would be. They were very happy when Trump came along and was dumb enough to do it and take the blame on himself. Chuck Schumer put out a video last year egging him on! https://x.com/SenSchumer/status/1929676991789203528 Trump is not the actual problem, just a useful idiot

    The "most powerful man in the world" is an incompetent fucking clown unfit to run a local McDonalds franchise.

    That's the world we all live in.

      the more terrifying question is "now this is the new baseline for normal, how much worse will it get?!?"
