Appeasing Putin may have already set the machine in motion.

When historians look back at WWI, they agree the assassination of the archduke started it, even though the battles didn't start for another month.

It may take a few months or even a bit longer, but the watershed moment could be Putin being appeased and pulling support of Ukraine.

Figured I'd check in on y'all with how terrible things are going between our countries. This really has been a s$%^show. I honestly don't see a way out. I feel like we are at the point where irreparable damage is being done on multiple fronts.

I really hope you guys continue to stand up to him.
Why don’t you guys as well?

Yea, other than several protests and angry town halls, I’m still not seeing enough push-back from the American public or the Democrats for that matter. I realize the Dems are basically powerless in Congress right now, but holy ####, someone— anyone— needs to start pushing back against this insanity.

They had a chance to do more on November 5th 2024.

No number of protests or townhalls is going to fix this now, the guy is a piece of #### who will do what Putin and Musk tells him.

Amen. It's absolutely insane to me that according to an aggregate of the most recent polls, 46% of the freaking country approves of him. And it's gone up since November.

A lot of Trump’s most crazy #### has been on the foreign policy front. And most Americans don’t give a moment’s thought to anything that happens outside their country. Canada, Ukraine, NATO, Russia - completely irrelevant to their assessment of the president.

They don’t even care outside their half of the team…

How many Americans does 0.03 lbs of fentanyl kill?

That's what was seized at the Canadian border over the whole of January.

Absurd.

But it evidently is a front that means nothing. A means to apply pressure to move manufacturing back to the US.

But that won't happen overnight and it will hurt consumers and businesses a lot in the process.

First off, Trump is a drug addict.

The fentanyl thing is an obvious scapegoat. It’s how fascists operate.

Their supporters have managed to lose their humanity along the way. Every one outside of the states is less than human in their view, it seems. And any means to this end, which they can't even divulge or define when asked, is warranted. Rudderless and morally compromised by the worst salesman ever.

Geopolitical lines may separate us, but in the end we're all apes sharing this rock. Don't religious types make up a large portion of his base? What does that attitude say about them and their faith. Or does Trump come above god/Jesus now?

Fox and those stations have always sucked, but in the last two months they've truly gone off the deep end. It's so pathetic and sad to watch and I hope they're utterly ashamed of their actions during this period of time later in life after the consequences of helping Trump further his agenda rears its head.

Even mentioning bombing us now has thinking they have discussed these things.

I expect us to receive threats at some point.

Will try not to speak for anyone but myself but when people mention taking to the streets at this point we don't mean protests or townhalls, we mean take the damn streets.

Also, what a dumb spot to cut the interview short. She presents him with the cold hard facts and he even appears to nod along as though he agrees. And then she just cuts him off and we don’t get to hear his response. Of course he’d probably just parrot more bulls***, but that’s just terrible journalism. At least let him sink in his own crap in front of the cameras next time.

Anti-government protests, uprisings and armed rebellion. I do think the "saving grace" for Canada is things are going to get violent in the States if Trump keeps going. We've seen him bring out some no protesting rules on campuses recently, and Ben Shapiro and Musk are tweeting about pardoning Derek Chauvin. They want as re-do of BLM, and they want to do what they feel they should have done last time.
