President Trump and US politics catchall
King Donald has only ever had "friends" in a purely self-serving, transactional sense, and it's always worked out great, right? To him, it follows that taking the same approach to international relations can only lead to America winning bigly. And when things inevitably go badly and once loyal allies shun their unreliable, boorish "benefactor", it must be someone else's fault. And so then, they "will have to pay". Rinse and repeat. It's the most basic MO of every narcissist.

It is quite scary how similar a lot of the current actions of the USA is to the actions of the Nazi party pre-WW2. talking about countries that would be better off if they joined the fold, using excuses of protection/security for why there is a need to take/invade, etc. How people will be better off if they are the ones in control... the list goes on and on.
If any other country outside of the G7/EU said or did anything than what the USA is currently doing, they would have been labeled "evil", "enemy of world peace", etc. and would have been sanctioned to death by now. Yet currently the G7 and EU act like they might be a little irritated and talk about how unhappy they are but the response to the USA has been so bad that I think it has empowered Trump and Vance to go full steam ahead as there are no repercussions for their actions, just words.
China has been bullied/"punished" and painted as the enemy of the world for all kinds of reasons, yet they have not done anything close to what the USA have done over the last few decades. Russia rightly got punished for their invasion of Ukraine, yet the USA gets away time and time again for doing the same crap because Europe and the G7 allows them too. Actually the USA have invaded more countries since WW2 than China did in 5000 years
How long before we get another fabricated report from USA "intelligence" (like with the Iraq wars) that some country is a major threat to World Peace and gets invaded. Trump and Vance already said that Greenland has to be taken at any cost. If the USA somehow annex Greenland for example, will the EU and G7 treat them the same as they do Russia?
The whole idea that the USA are the good guys of this world is so flawed, they are rather the wolf in sheep's clothing, only difference now is that trump is doing it openly whereas previous administrations have been very good at hiding under the Sheep skin acting like they care about the world.

On the whole, I'm not sure if being returned to the US isn't just going to swap being repressed by one group of religious nutjobs, for a different group of religious nutjobs. The American Taliban
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c934pp6w3v6oTaliban releases detained US citizen Faye Hall
An American citizen, who was held by the Taliban in Afghanistan for two months, has been released, Washington's former envoy to Kabul has said.
Faye Hall will "soon be heading home" after she was arrested by the Taliban in February, Zalmay Khalilzad, who served as the US special representative for Afghanistan from 2018-2021, wrote on X.
Ms Hall, who is now in the care of Qatari officials, was detained alongside a British couple in their seventies - Barbie and Peter Reynolds - and their interpreter.
The couple ran training programmes for women and girls, and stayed when the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan in 2021. Afghan officials have not made the reason for their arrest public

Yanks don’t want their food as stringently shown what ingredients it contains though.
It’s not bogus at all to expect smaller countries to pay their way, the sticking point was large Countries like Spain were being mooches as well._Os_ wrote: Fri Mar 28, 2025 4:31 pmIt's a bogus argument, because the deterrent isn't Lithuania spending 5% of its GDP on defence or Portugal spending 1% or 3% or Ireland spending 0% or 10%. The deterrence is that if Russia rolls tanks over the border the US will nuke Russia until they withdraw or are exterminated. The deterrent is that enough nukes will go into Russia that Russians as an ethnicity/culture/language go extinct.Yeeb wrote: Fri Mar 28, 2025 3:58 pm Am not disagreeing with anything you’ve written there , but just about the only sane factual thing Trump has said in last ten years has been that certain Euro / nato countries (I’m not sure he knows or cares the difference) have been total sponges and paid next to bugger all as % of their gdp for their defence . From memory the 2% thing has only been a guideline at best and only in place for last decade, and was discussed for decades before that whilst Herman & Pedro let Pierre, Peter and Piotr pick up the tab (Padraig had already snuck into the party without paying entry fee of course because he’s a bludger)
The idea the US would do this isn't at all credible now. The Poles or Finns would 100% do it if they had the capability and were facing a Ukraine situation, and the Russians would know they would do it too so they wouldn't touch them.
Why was the US more willing in the past. Because what they were buying from Europe post-WW2 when the continent was destroyed or heavily damaged and the Soviets had a huge military all the way inside Germany's borders, wasn't a defence of Europe given for free. It was really a security guarantee in exchange for taking all Europe's global power and even power within Europe.
What the US are now doing is going into a shop named "Europe", loading up an item called "global power and hegemony" into the trolley (the entire contents of the shop), then rocking up at the counter and telling Herman/Pedro/Pierre/Peter/Piotr/Padraig they're walking out with that for free.
Nukes are the ultimate deterrent , but conventional arms are also what’s keeping Russia at bay at present.

When Kraft bought Cadbury, they reviewed costs and one of their sticking points was the amount of cocoa solids, i.e. chocolate that Cadbury put in their product. They wanted less cocoa in the product and costs driven down so Cadbury had to explain that you wouldn't be able to legally call it chocolate anymore.Yeeb wrote: Mon Mar 31, 2025 4:01 pmCooking properly neutralizes that difference anyways.

And it's from the country that has given us chlorine washed chicken and hormone injected beef.next to it, I’d have no problem having on sale in the Uk as will give consumers a better choice between cheap and nasty, or pricey & nicey. From what I’ve seen, their food in supermarkets isn’t even that cheap anymore so possible moot point. It will be used as a bargaining chip by Trump anyways in any kind of deal with the UK.
Yanks don’t want their food as stringently shown what ingredients it contains though.
Kraft's response was "don't worry about that. We'll just lobby the government to change the legal definition of chocolate".
Spoiler alert: they were unsuccessful with this lobbying effort but the product is pretty low quality all in all.

https://en.defence-ua.com/news/us_has_o ... 14006.htmlFor several days in a row, the United States has been concentrating its B-2 Spirit strategic bombers on the small island of Diego Garcia, located in the middle of the Indian Ocean. While a relocation of even a few from its full-time Whiteman Air Base in Missouri would ordinarily be a massive concern for any potential adversary, various sources report some five to nine aircraft currently stationed there.
Considering the entire American B-2 fleet consists of an estimated 18 to 20 bombers, that makes about one-third of them in one place. But what's more impressive is that they are hosted by an island with a total area of only 30 km², in a strategic location that is crucial for a potential airstrike campaign against Iran.

They wanted less cocoa in the product and costs driven down so Cadbury had to explain that you wouldn't be able to legally call it chocolate anymore.Yeeb wrote: Mon Mar 31, 2025 4:01 pmCooking properly neutralizes that difference anyways.

Nothing wrong with chlorine washing chicken, what is wrong is that even after doing it has a lot more bacteria than chicken that hasn't been chlorine washed in Europe due to our higher standards. Aren't they having issues with eggs at the moment due to bird flu?next to it, I’d have no problem having on sale in the Uk as will give consumers a better choice between cheap and nasty, or pricey & nicey. From what I’ve seen, their food in supermarkets isn’t even that cheap anymore so possible moot point. It will be used as a bargaining chip by Trump anyways in any kind of deal with the UK.
Yanks don’t want their food as stringently shown what ingredients it contains though.
Kraft's response was "don't worry about that. We'll just lobby the government to change the legal definition of chocolate".
Spoiler alert: they were unsuccessful with this lobbying effort but the product is pretty low quality all in all.
Eat your fill of chlorinated chicken mate ... think I will pass!

Mostly corn syrup and trans fats, although the culture war cunts may ban the latter due to its name and their utter stupidity.Yeeb wrote: Mon Mar 31, 2025 4:01 pmCooking properly neutralizes that difference anyways.

And it's from the country that has given us chlorine washed chicken and hormone injected beef.next to it, I’d have no problem having on sale in the Uk as will give consumers a better choice between cheap and nasty, or pricey & nicey.

https://en.defence-ua.com/news/us_has_o ... 14006.htmlFor several days in a row, the United States has been concentrating its B-2 Spirit strategic bombers on the small island of Diego Garcia, located in the middle of the Indian Ocean. While a relocation of even a few from its full-time Whiteman Air Base in Missouri would ordinarily be a massive concern for any potential adversary, various sources report some five to nine aircraft currently stationed there.
Considering the entire American B-2 fleet consists of an estimated 18 to 20 bombers, that makes about one-third of them in one place. But what's more impressive is that they are hosted by an island with a total area of only 30 km², in a strategic location that is crucial for a potential airstrike campaign against Iran.
