The first post was half-joking, but it seems more likely than not at this point. The still-sane side of the military is running down its menu of operations and offering/suggesting the ones they don’t think will completely collapse our 75+ year old alliances. How……dangerous. We can’t discuss it in the media at large because if Trump catches wind that he is being pushed away from collapsing NATO he will tantrum and double down.

Seems obvious they’re “managing” Trump at this point. They had to do this his first term and it’s even worse now.

Surely this does not portend anything…:

Yeah Europe had a huge boost and just yesterday signed a tariff reduction for Chinese vehicles into Europe

The trump theory that America could strong arm the world isn’t holding up. The centrists were right about trans pacific partnership— would have helped keep America relevant as China was growing

We need friendly alliances both military and trade more than ever as more of the world develops into advanced economies

Maybe this specific episode is untrue, but it can’t wash away the Trump admins intentions.

-March 2025 - Trump pauses intelligence sharing with Ukraine, later lifts it.
-Summer 2025 - multiple European nations announce they are no longer sharing some intelligence with the US. The Dutch specifically say they are not sharing anymore Russian related intelligence. Now Trump is throwing a tantrum to go to war with them.
-Nov 2025 - we learn that Trump negotiators were working hand-in-glove with Russian officials to develop their “peace plan”
- Jan 2026 - Macron announces that France is supplying 2/3 of all intelligence to Ukraine.


The media is going to be so surprised when the Trump admin buries the knife in Ukraine’s back. Like we haven’t been watching them sharpen the knife for a year (arguably much longer).

1/19/2026 9:47:51 AM

1/19/2026 9:51:38 AM

did that dude seriously say "Since you didn't give me the Peace prize I will do a war"

that's gotta be the stupidest thing I've read in a long time

It also wouldn't happen to begin with, having those players behind the scenes.

If Pence and a majority of any of members the Cabinet within his first term couldn't/wouldn't agree to do it, you think that Vance and the cadre of ignorant yes-men/women in the Cabinet right now would do it?

There was an order of magnitude more competence, gravitas, and independence among the first-term Cabinet members than in this term. That, like, why the current ones were selected--to be puppets more than expert advisors.
