The world is starting to ignore America and her demands. Maybe Trump and Putin can go suck each other off on how powerful they both are while staring into each others buttholes.

The EU needs to move fast, collectively tell the US to get fucked, coordinate everything without them, and proceed with implementing their own combined military, nuclear sovereignty; especially decoupling their surveillance apparatus and intel sharing agreements.

Trump is acting like a dictator but he doesn't have the support of the military, or the intelligence community. He may have seized control of all 3 branches gov, but the military/intel is how they enforce their will, and any order to attack or invade allies in the next few years would likely result in civil war.

"DEMANDS"

Allies and friends don't make demands. US can fuck right off.

As an American I agree. I'm so ashamed and afraid right now.

Or what? You're going to give Putin everything he wants and backstab Ukraine and Zelenskyy? Oh wait, you've just done that to the maximum extent of your ability already. Waltz acts critical of the fact that Zelenskyy 'insulted' Trump but he knows damn well that Trump deserves far worse than stern words after what he did.

Trump's moronic negotiation tactic of opening up negotiations with bridge-burning all-out hostilities and insulting your potential business partner does NOT work in world politics. This is a prime example of it. I am shocked that he keeps quadrupling down on it. It's the only move he has ever known.

Why would they? When someone doesn't treat me with respect I don't deal with them. \

Now when that someone is the only supplier or something like that once in a while I'm forced to. However I still minimize my dealings and actively look for alternatives. There are plenty of options for Ukraine and they can do very well with a second best option.

~~"treat me with respect" ~~ really means "kiss my ass"

Hard to make any demands after cutting off your only semblance of leverage

The art of the deal? More like the art of the dumbass

It'd be funny if it wasn't so predictable.

Damn... This guy sounds like that Husband that demands his wife return home from the hospital after he beat her into comma

[–] dnzm@feddit.nl 5 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Does getting beaten into a comma, give you pause?

(Couldn't resist, sorry 😉)

no human was harmed by production of this joke

What a good deal maker. Doesn’t talk to the person he’s making a deal with and gets mad when they say no.
