You've been tricked. US is still sending Israel billions whilst withholding support for Ukraine. Israel doesn't even need it as much. He's not anti-war, he's a Putin supporter. It's sickening. (4)

Trump has only been in office 2 months. He seems to feel that European countries have never contributed enough for their defense. I think that he wants to help bring the war to an end and move on to other issues. (-2)

I'm an Independent who voted for Trump. Like Trump ,I'm very tired of war and illegal immigration. I don't like some of the things he says, or how he says it, but I like his policies. Under Trump, America did great in 2018- 2020. (-2)

Basedness: 🔥🔘🔘🔘🔘

'doesn't want to bring back the fricking Cold War.'And yet he wants to annexe Canada and Greenland.And yet he's started a trade war and made a point of falling out with every ally.And yet he's teaming up with Russia (partially)so the US can focus on containing China.There is a very real risk of Trumps policies leading to the US to a very, very, very hot war and if you cant see it, well. (2)

He wants increased border control to stop fentanyl.He wants tariffs to be reciprocatedHe wants peace in Ukraine and he has done more to get talks going in a month than Biden did in years, all Biden did was buy loads of bombs an call Putin a piece of shit... great diplomacy Biden yeah great nice one.

While it is true that European countries were not holding their own in NATO, Obama initially called them out for it. European countries were steadily increasing their support, and then Trump started making threats to end NATO. When countries are literally making efforts to do what you want, why do you punish and berate them?The current tariffs on Canada are due to them supposedly not helping with the fentanyl crisis, but very little fetanyl comes across the Canadian border, so it makes no sense. Trump has also cited trade deficits, but Canada is one of our largest trade partners with one of our lowest trade deficits, so why target them. Additionally, the trade deal that he is pretending is unfair is the one he negotiated in the first place. Outside of dictator countries, Trump has been openly hostile to most of the world. What is the last war our European allies have started? Seems like America, Russia, and the rest of the dictators are to blame for most of the world's war problems.... (1)

First of Vietnam is a French War, secondly, since the Cold War's end, the U.S. has shouldered the burden of maintaining global stability, while European nations, including Britain, have drastically cut their defense budgets and downsized their military capabilities. The UK has not engaged in a significant independent war since the Falklands in 1982. Every major military engagement involving British forces since then has been either part of a U.S.-led coalition or a NATO mission where American firepower, strategy, and resources were decisive. Even in European conflicts, such as the Balkans in the 1990s, European peacekeeping efforts failed to prevent mass atrocities until the U.S. stepped in with decisive force. NATO's 1999 Kosovo intervention, for example, saw American aircraft fly over 30,000 of the 38,000 total combat sorties, while European forces struggled to sustain even a fraction of that.World War II (1941–1945): The U.S. was pivotal in both the European and Pacific Theaters....

Despite contributing less, Britain has reaped considerable benefits from these wars, while the U.S. has shouldered most of the burden.Global Prestige and Political Influence: The UK has maintained its image as a top-tier military power without bearing the full weight of war costs. British leaders have remained diplomatically influential, leveraging their participation in U.S.-led wars for greater global political clout.Defense Industry Profits: The UK defense industry benefited significantly from these wars, with arms manufacturers like BAE Systems securing billions in contracts due to the UK's involvement in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. The U.S., meanwhile, footed the bill for most war costs while British firms profited from weapon sales.UK Oil Companies Benefited from the Iraq War: While the U.S. spent trillions on the Iraq War, UK-based oil giants like BP and Shell secured lucrative contracts in Iraq's post-war oil industry. British companies gained access to massive Iraqi oil ... (1)

Which war does America win? It gave up in Vietnam, Iraq, which it gave to Islamic State, Afghanistan which t gave up to the Talliban, Yemen, where it abandoned allies… It's like fighting with a group with attention deficit disorder. You point out losses but they were all wars the US started. The US does remain expert at starting wars but proves dreadful at ending them.No one is suggesting that the UK is as large as the US. That would be ridiculous. You seem to boast about being larger whilst also resenting having larger numbers of deaths which is silly.Yes we have enjoyed Pax Americana but the US has profited considerably. Abandoning the policy of the last 70 years will bring an end to this. America is not the sole superpower it was at the end of WWII. It is losing status and strength. The ballooning US national debt is dependent on the status of the dollar which is under threat the more that debt grows. China and Russia are already looking to move away from trade involving the doll... (1)

Enjoy your last 3 years of the existence of the USA.

After Trump, there isn't going to be any republican that can ever compete with him like EVER.

In fact he is so good at doing what he does that after he is done with his 8 years of service, the GOP will shatter in pieces.

Interesting that leftoids think Trump is always lying but also that he's 100% serious when he talks about annexing Canada or Greenland.

The serious answer is that no one expects Trump to be honest - his opponents, his supporters, his inner circle, no one expects honesty. A lot of things that are scandalous for normal politicians are not scandalous for Trump. I don't like it but that's where we're at.

The US question will only be answered via a constitutional convention but things haven't got bad enough to pull that trigger yet.

Executive power is significantly weaker than most presidents claim but it requires Congress to hold them in check. Judicial branch is supposed to exist to resolve conflicts between executive and Congress rather than third parties trying to stop them being cucked. Constitution didn't consider that Congress would become so weak and ineffective that the balance of powers would cease to function.

We were also supposed to have a convention every ~generation to realign the constitution with current needs, the law is for the living as Jefferson & Madison considered it. Instead we have had hundreds of years of inventing meanings for words to justify doing things, people never consider that allowing something they think is good will allow something they think is bad.

The D president who wins in 2028 will use the power grab Trump has done to try and construct a progressive utopia (which will obviously fail spectacularly because progressives are as r-slurred as conservatives, feelz/realz for all of them) that will further cause strife and frick with normal people who just want to live.

My guess is the shit is going to get bad enough middle of next decade to trigger a convention or national divorce. The gibs for retirees will reach the point at which they have to stop pretending it's sustainable by 2031 when mandatory crosses the 100% federal revenue mark (perhaps sooner depending on the new tax cuts), R won't agree to cuts or tax increases and D won't agree to cuts or tax increases that would be meaningful.

Either the US fragments in to smaller countries or there is a significant weakening of the federal government with sub national groups taking over many of the functions. More federation than republic if it survives.

Something also to consider is that we are pretty exposed via our debt internationally already. Japan, China and the UK hold enough of our debt that they could trigger a recession at will just by not renewing their holdings. Even with the fed empowered as they are it's not clear at all to me they could cushion this without causing a massive inflationary response, QE has worked because it's confined to the base where that would absolutely act on supply.

Also just for shits and giggles the current law projection of debt (so not accounting for debt growth acceleration like it has been for decades) by 2035 is $52t. Interest on that debt will be nearly $2t a year, for reference the fed were unable to act as aggressively as they wanted in a fairly minor period of inflation because it would cause funding issues due the federal government so this is just going to continue to restrict the ability of monetary policy to work. A 16% rate (the peak under Vokler) quadruples interest cost.

I'm hoping someone pulls out a rabbit in 2028 or 2032 and fixes shit but I seriously doubt it, the trend is towards more chaos not less. I'll hit my max retirement number by the end of the decade, going to bug out to Costa Rica if things start going to shit.
