Not a good idea. Russia relations fell overnight and this would just be a repeat

Make America Great Depression Again

That was disgraceful but tbh it seems that there were no better options

Interesting. Care to spill the beans from your perspective? No need to self doxx or anything. Do people in connection with him fall for the smarm?

Thinking he’ll convert Trump is naive. But it’s true he could be kissing the ring for actually wanting to appease him. Anyway a slimy guy

The current president is both a little sneaky and a bit naive, who thinks reasoning and a little oiling up can sway the big swindler

Yup. Trump learned blading from wrestling. Crooks aimed and shot at the audience, gets killed as well. Trump cuts his own ear.

There is a place… in hell

Europe needs to stand up, not ally with bullies

Because trusting Russia and the USA was such a good idea, why not repeat for a third time

Holdup. The narrative is that Russia attacked (in defense pre-emptively) because of a Nazi coup government but now Russia|Putin|Trump would be happy to install more conservative and nationalist ones?

How much is their attack and hybrid warfare budget

Old Lemmy reactionary saying: never attribute to external forces something the US does itself, even when it’s undeniable

Trump is just switching gears from the slow decline harder towards the Capitalist-Not-a-Democracy segment BRICS’s most namesakes inhabit. He just doesn’t bother to mask the racketeering into something like the Belt and Road

That and basic mob racketeering

No worries. I’m just curious. There has definitely been advancements. And then the various rankings and indexes on happiness, equality, freedom, health, other qualities paint a different picture. Of course one could ponder if some of them are biased, and still, maybe an aggregate of all could provide value…

It’s not about the messenger, you are not attacked and don’t need to react as such.

My comment was that wouldn’t there be other options if one considers “extensive research on politics, history and quality of life”, multiple sources etc. anywhere.

I haven’t voted for your comment. I’m just wondering how a police state dystopia is THE favourite. As you said, considering a multitude of pros and cons, isn’t there anything else?

China number one, for real??
