  1. The US will betray Article 5, let’s not kid ourselves. If it doesn’t leave or is thrown out of NATO anyway, that is. All of that naively assuming that the US isn’t the aggressor itself.

  2. Very reasonable considering how (un)successful Russia is in Ukraine

    The only country in the world that can endanger US and it’s allies is China

  3. Everyone’s gonna clown this but I mean yeah? After seeing Russias performance in Ukraine how can the US not bump them down and see them as “manageable”

  4. >It adds that the U.S. will move away from “**interventionalism**, endless wars, **regime change** and nation building” abroad. 

    Maduro was seized by US special forces 2 fucking weeks ago.

    Get out of here with this shit.

  5. Russia and China are no longer a threat.

    Also- we have to annex Greenland because Russia and China are so strong they will take it over.

    The doublespeak is so Orwellian that it almost the script for 1984.

    Russia is grinding their forces to a paste trying to invade and take a small portion of Ukraine.

    If they didn’t have nukes China and Europe would have carved them up by now.

    Russia couldn’t invade Texas…

    So Russia is so strong a threat that we need to threaten our allies to prevent Russia from taking Greenland. But also not a threat so that we don’t need to prioritize defending against Russia?

    It goes against ALL the rhetoric regarding Greenland and of course the regime chance is political fluff given what the Trump admin is doing, but regarding Russia it isn’t wrong per say.

    The war in Ukraine has exposed the weakness of Russia, with frankly minimum western support Ukraine has held off Russia + their allies and inflected massive casualties for what 4 years?  If Russia was the super power we thought they’d have steamrolled Ukraine 

  9. Well, of course it’s a “manageable threat”, with the leader of America is Putin’s puppet.

    What world are we in now? He considers American citizens a greater threat than Russia or China? WTF?! He treats them better than our allies in Europe.

    You know how we could change Russia from being a “manageable threat” to being a “non-threat”? Provide serious weaponry and support to Ukraine.

    Trump’s goal of making the US part of Russia is getting very close to actually happening.

  13. So manageable, that war Trump promised would be over the first day of his presidency is still raging a year later. By “manageable” he means “We don’t have to worry about Russia as long as we let Putin do whatever he wants. He has nukes after all, why shouldn’t he get to do anything he feels like?”

  14. No chance the US would come to the Baltics defence now. I still think if Poland or a larger European country were attacked, the US would help. But the Baltics are not important enough for someone like Trump to defend.

    We need an international “Fuck you Trump” day.

    Please propagate the idea. Huge international manifestations everywhere, in US, Latin America, Europe, Asia, everywhere. In the streets together against bullying.

    Let’s do this!!!!

    Post the idea everywhere!!!

  16. Manageable? They’ve completely sabotaged politics in the US. The sad thing is, no one from MAGA wants to admit it.
