Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Is this that “reigning in of empire” or whatever that that post was talking about a few days ago?

The empire is simultaneously retracting and over extending itself, because Trump is a button masher who doesn't have any respect for the game. It's fascinating, but a lot of people are going to suffer and die because of it

Oh for sure, death and suffering are the main exports of the US.

Every day I feel more validated in my "they don't know what they're doing so they're doing a bunch of contradictory things" analysis.

Yeah I’m staying out of the mind reading business

Telepaths must feel like watching an analog TV with a vaccuum cleaner running full tilt next to it.

I don't think anyone for a moment thought that the US ditching some vassals would include Israel.

But, I'm starting to think that a lot of the foreign policy of the second Trump administration is rhetoric/bluster. I think the actual/lasting changes will primarily be domestic.
