The reason why Trump says the USA will not defend Europe is to force Europe to start investing in its own militaries, which he hopes will lead to more sales for the USA defence industry.
With Trump it's all about "whats in it for me" and "how can I extract an advantage out of you".

Re: US Politics Megathread
Of course, that doesn't mean Ukraine should be abandonned, that we should resign ourselves that it's a lost cause already. But I think there could be a more realistic approach of freezing the conflict and waiting for better times for Ukraine to recover its lost counties. The main problem, as everyo...

Re: US Politics Megathread
It just seems that Democrats are only running the campaign on one single idea: o no, not my hecking democracy. It seems this way because you don't live in the US and are not being targeted by any campaigns True. I just look at mainstream news and keep seeing reports and editorials written by actual...

Re: US Politics Megathread
However I wouldn't exclude that if some kind of escalation happens and it gets nuclear, then there is a possibility Russia could try to hit the anti-missile shield at Deveselu in Romania to disable first a site from which their rockets could get intercepted, before actually delivering a strike somew...

Re: US Politics Megathread
They are on the rise, but having Trump as opposed to Biden will help them gain ground. Not sure what is the point of writing out these semantics Not sure if there's any synergy between this kind of leaders popping up. I think it happens because there's a growing rejection of the 'mainstream consens...

authoritarians world-wide which could have devastating consequences in the next 4 years Those are rising with or without Trump. It's not Trump making the AfD become the party with most support in Germany, it's Merkel's failed migration policies. Same in the Netherlands, Italy, France, Sweden. These...

Re: US Politics Megathread
It just seems that Democrats are only running the campaign on one single idea: o no, not my hecking democracy. When Trump has notoriously failed to keep a lot of campaign promises, like 'lock her up!". A lot of the stuff that he says is bluster and braggadocio, just like the last time. Not to m...

Re: US Politics Megathread
So what's the common idea of US citizens nowadays? Here's what I've got from local news: - Trump is likely to win in 2024 election; - Trump will immediately abandon any support to Ukraine, forcing zelensky to surrender; he'll ally with putin to destroy European economy; he'll make US quit NATO, and...

Re: Freetalk Friday 1
I don't. I didn't even know it existed.
But when I searched a few brand names starting with Poly (like Polyfluid) and the first link in the results was from Gender Wiki, it was disappointing.
They really hogged the concept.
