I feel like at this point he’s trying to antagonize europe into launching a counterpropoganda campaign against Russia’s troll farming
My only hope with a second Trump term is that when he inevitably drags the US out of NATO, the other member states invest more heavily into their military budgets, rally to support each other and make it a true defensive pact.
NATO would definitely feel the hit of losing US support, but I don’t think this will tip the scales in Ukraine. If the other states chip in, I think they’ll hold out.
It’s more hilarious that the Republican Party have managed to dupe their own stereotypically patriotic supporters into allowing them to sell out to Russia. Aren’t they forgetting the decades of anti-Commie propaganda being fed to them?
Ideally NATO would fall apart and cap the member states’ potential to commit their imperialism in the middle east.
And modern capitalist Russia tries its best to put out anti-communist propaganda for its population too btw. The current governments of the US and Russia aren’t too different in that sense; the difference is that Russians have lived under Socialism and experienced the massively decreased quality of life after the country turned capitalist so the propaganda doesn’t quite work (with rising support for the USSR in recent years even)
The reason Trump wants to ally with Russia is likely to sabotage China, the same way they sabotaged the USSR and contributed to its illegal dissolution by allying with China against them in the Cold War.
Russia isn’t communist anymore. They are a white ethno state with strong laws against the gays.

Strictly speaking, was it ever really communist? Did any Marxist-Leninist state even come close to a communist society? Where’s all those Lemmy people who read Marx when you need them?

Kinda always have been.
If you vote for this man, you are a garbage person.
There’s also a 1:1 probability that you’re a sociopath, mentally unstable, brainwashed, legitimately stupid, or willfully ignorant.
No. You’re underestimating the legitimate ignorance of the electorate. Give this comment a read.
Thats a great read, and echoes what ive been seeing at my own workplace. Those who even remotely follow news (outside of Faux News) are all voting biden. Those who dont, hear that bidens old, that hes out of touch, and want trump to win out of spite for how much they hate the political climate.
That whole, “vote for trump or abstain to stick it to the man” thing is trending like nothing else. Even here on Lemmy, but esp on reddit.
TALK TO THE PPL IN UR LIFE, NOW!
I’m over the insane sewage that spews from his mouth and not clicking on any trump articles (ragebait) … fuck the news they are salivating at the money if he is president again.
So if anyone is feeling generous I’m a little OLL could you explain what these like dumbass ok hands are??? Is he about to do the batman hand mask?
If that dick sucker gets back in we are closing our borders so fucking fast. Also Canada is part of the British commonwealth so we know what side the UK will be on if this idiot tries anything.
Unfortunately closing our borders doesn’t mean anything when we share the longest undefended border in the world.
There are a literal shit ton of places to just walk across (or 4x4) without anyone knowing … and that sucks in this context. :/
… and even just economically, AFAIK we have treaties we would have difficulty getting out of; such as to provide them with water. We ship a lot of our raw resources (beef, lumber) down to them only to buy back finished goods, stuff like that. Canada will be in a real jam if we feel a need to distance ourselves properly from the USA.
AFAIK we have treaties we would have difficulty getting out of;
Trump had no problem breaking treaties on a whim the last time.
I don’t imagine he wouldn’t continue doing that if the idea randomly popped into his head (or was placed there).
