Trump has now halted the aid to Ukraine, he has stopped the taskforce responsible for seizing Russian assets, he has stopped the work to keep Ukraine's energy grid going, and he has closed down US offensive cyber operations against Russia.

Washington has fallen.

@randahl I assume every intelligence operative is acting as if they've been burned?
@Flux @randahl Ukraine has been firewalling it's operations since the confirmation that the king of the village idiots was on the ballot.
@randahl
For now.
@stargazersmith @randahl Thats the spirit. Give me 20K men with that kind of resolve by July, and I think our odds of countercouping our country back are very good.
@randahl He's an idiot
@allanb @randahl That only makes him more dangerous, not less. No imagination means he will act with predictable brutality.

@allanb Sure, he's an idiot. He's an idiot who won and he's in control of your fate. He has the keys, and the rest of you have been drugged and locked in the back of the van.

@randahl

@allanb No, he is smart and cunning without any spine or morals. And he knows his voters are idiots, so he is just playing the role. There are so many idiots that it can win even completely fair and democratic elections.

@chebra I would agree but you are giving him too much credit.

Most people who have talked with him said he sincerely believes his own BS.

Not so sure about completely fair and democratic elections either.

This guy's MO includes intimidating election officials and he would not blink twice over ballot stuffing if it worked to his advantage and he could get away with it.

Some states, free and fair. Other states, not so much.

@randahl DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE.

@randahl

The abyss opened up and at times we thought we had reached the bottom, but we are constantly learning that we are still falling.

@kalfatermann @randahl Thats the thing about Hell. If you go looking for its basement, you'll find it too has a basement. Which also has a basement. Basements all the way down. No matter how bad any situation may be, it can always get WORSE. It's pointless to stare into that void, once you are certain of its real depths. You can acknowledge it without being swallowed by it. Look to achievable gains. It is recoverable. But the price will be paid in blood. No avoiding that now.

@randahl My God. A dementia-ridden, incontinent ass is now gate-keeping stockpiles against our allies.
May we ask that our independent manufacturers step up?
Springfield Arms, Geneseo
Armalite, Geneseo
Rock River Arms, Geneseo

Step up.

@Liebchen73 @randahl He is only removable by force. The longer we put it off, the worse collateral damage & body count it will entail. This has no peaceful resolve(unless he plotzes from a stroke maybe). Only incremental increasing costs in blood the longer we delay.

@Beggarmidas @Liebchen73 @randahl

if a stroke or killer takes D..ump, then Vance will be his successor. Will that change things for the better? I doubt it.

*A change of error and a change of evil is often taken as progress*

@Januschka @Liebchen73 @randahl So? Vance doesn't have the mystique to hold every normally-at-war faction within the ranks together. Darth Gilligan has made the whole shebang a one man show. ONLY one man. Himself. He's neither groomed nor even hinted who would be his spiritual successor. Every ambitious & thirsty element within the ranks of the faithful (must by now number in the tens of thousands) will see this as their shot at the brass ring. Doesn't take a prophet to guess what happens next.
@Januschka @Liebchen73 @randahl Much as Elon would love the position he can't step into the role, and darth gilligan refuses to give up any more limelight to him than he has. He will not name a potential threat to his power as successor under any circumstance. And there's already half the grass root that can't stand Elon already. He's not native born. That's a sticking point for at least 60% of the support base.
@Januschka @Liebchen73 @randahl No offense, but it doesn't sound like you've really gamed out any of the post hoc scenarios. Take some time to mull things over after looking at all the available data & I doubt you'll reach a likely conclusion that's much different than the one I presented.

@Beggarmidas @Liebchen73 @randahl

of course you do :)

@Januschka @Liebchen73 @randahl I welcome informed dissent. I never claimed to be a 100%. But dammit, i've been calling things so close here past five years or so it's starting to get spooky.
...And downright depressing. I try not to let my mind drift that way too much, for obvious reasons. But never in my entire life have I wanted to be proven wrong more. But sadly, it seems my warnings have instead become nigh prophetic predictions. 💔

@Beggarmidas

yes, sometimes being right is the saddest thing... :(

@Januschka @Beggarmidas @Liebchen73 @randahl That doesn't change the fact that we've exhausted every legal recourse.

Congress, ruled by the same corrupt elite that supports Trump implicitly, will not impeach and remove. He's literally repeating the same "Stop supporting our allies because he's got money on Russia" routine that got him impeached the first time and it's safe to assume he will meet no internal resistance.

@gooba42 @Januschka @Liebchen73 @randahl I'm well aware of that. The chance to handle this within the system was the last four years. But too many elements were too risk adverse to engage in a timely manner. I presume, at least. They've notably refused to answer my calls & I don't have the time or interest to forensically file a bunch of FOIA's. I've got much bigger & more immediate fish to fry.
@gooba42 @Januschka @Liebchen73 @randahl We the people will have to take direct action, as you are no doubt aware yourself. I'm pushing for an end of June muster in blue states. I've got a basic plan laid out in one of my pinned tweets. Though i'm gonna have to rework section re: the JCS. Will take me some time to feel out the replacements. Secrecy is likely to be blown anyways, so fuck it. Go full overt. Our chances of countercouping are good if within the first year. About 70% give or take.
@randahl
The president of 350 million people blew up a fruitful and long lasting relationship with 500 million people just to curry favor with an untrustworthy psychopath of 140 million people
@niekvleeuwen @randahl Oversimplified. Vastly. Any system can be leveraged if one has & is willing to dump enough resources both physical & human labor into it. Plus there are other variables plugging into it. Some more obvious than others.

@niekvleeuwen @randahl

and the 500millions leaders are panicking. So embarrassing.

Cut the Clown off and defend Ukraine. It will be hard but if we were resolved to do it, Europe could.

@niekvleeuwen @randahl

Well, it was that, or have everyone see the #ButtonMushroom in the bed wetting videos.

@randahl This president is a clear and present danger to the free world
@niekvleeuwen @randahl That much is an absolute fact. He'll crash the entire western world if left a free hand.
@randahl This is a war between nationalism and globalism. Trump is a nationalist. Putin is also a nationalist. If Ukraine wins the war, it's a victory for the globalists. If Ukraine loses this war, it's victory for the nationalists.Trump is not a traitor.He want to defeat globalists.
@vibudanimsara @randahl No. It's a fight between imperialistic oligarchy and democracy and USA isn't on the side of democracy anymore.

@useravoiding @vibudanimsara @randahl This war between old & new is internal as much as external. Wherever you are is no doubt also engaged with its own internal struggle. It's mirrored everywhere in one shape or another.

This is a battle for the soul & future shape of our species. It's within us as much as it is outside of us.

@vibudanimsara Yeah. That's why russia and china play such long distance influence games abroad. No, child. This is a showdown between democracy & authoritarianism. This is the old world & ways at war against the new world & new ways. Only one may survive. And its just begun. Don't mistake battles for the war. Sometimes it takes a few unexpected setbacks to really motivate & elicit peoples best efforts.

@randahl Washington fell to the Nazis a month ago; Musk's government is transitioning to Vichy America.

Now we each decide if we will each be actively collaborating, quietly complicit, or actively resisting.

I say we need to start thinking about sanctions for the USA.

@yuriaxel.bsky.social we just mirror his tariffs. He will tariff his country into misery, then blame others for it.

But we need to get rid of his troops and counterintelligence in Europe. Plus Europe has to find its balls, quickly.

@yuriaxel.bsky.social

For starters, I've demanded a travel ban for EloNazi, Peter Thiel and their two puppets, Marc Andreessen, Tim Cook, Zuckerberg, the Oracle guy (Ellison?), the Mercers, Bannon, Miller etc

I ran the 4 points through Perplexity to get citations. I was perplexed at how much "reprompting" was necessary to make the AI acknowledge even facts that were reported a month ago (possibly blooper, my initial prompt was inadvertently cut off).

https://www.perplexity.ai/search/please-give-citations-for-.AbHz8TITMm5QQMZ.yfXxg

Maybe the AI can’t keep up with news. Maybe we want to keep in mind that AIs can be trained to not answer certain questions about "the Fatherland". Grok it?

…about the "grok it” pun, in case someone missed it:

»Grok blocked results saying Musk and Trump ‘spread misinformation’«

https://www.theverge.com/news/618109/grok-blocked-elon-musk-trump-misinformation

Grok blocked results saying Musk and Trump ‘spread misinformation’

A worker for Elon Musk’s xAI tweaked Grok to block reports of Elon Musk and Donald Trump spreading misinformation.

The Verge
@randahl Under a shadow. Yes. Soon the resistance will need you to funnel US arms & logistic/intel support. Unless we can interrupt this coup soon, I reckon we have until the end of summer before a countercoup must swell into a fullblown civil war to force regime shift. Everyone in the western world has a stake value in the outcome. Imagine if USA goes full imperial like Russia & China want to. What will the world look like after that? It's in everyone's interest to get regime shift moving ASAP.
@randahl well, it was a lot cheaper this way than an invasion.
@doc Of course, the country with the biggest army will not be defeated on the battlefield. It must be an inside job. I'm just surprised that it's been so obvious, yet there is still no meaningful resistance.

@doc @randahl

Thanks. Even cheaper when you're willing to take Russian demoralizer jobs.

@FrozenPeach @randahl If you are looking for a place where everything is spun in positive ways, LinkedIn is right over there. 👉
@randahl The doomsday clock suddenly feels a lot closer to midnight. One man with no conscience, no empathy too much power and an ego that is, unfortunately, bigger than little planet earth.

@randahl

Not sure Washington has fallen, more likely it has been brought, by Putin.

@randahl Watching #Washington collapse in movies was much more fun. 🤷

And there was always some kind of spectacular resistance.

Nowadays, the stupid/superrich guys took over and almost everybody seems to play along. Where are the Million protesters while the superrich are dismantling foundations of the #USA?

#Trump #Putin #Russia

@randahl That nation between Canada and Mexico has just become the western-most state of Russia.

AUKUS is dead.

@randahl
I don’t think Washington has fallen. It is still standing with #putin at the controls 👇🏼

#uspol #trump

@randahl Yup.

Unfortunately, the writing was on the wall.

So, it seems like the United States now also has its #Brexit moment. Turns out that 1989 was a rope-a-dope, and in 2024, Russia is finally winning the cold war. Still remember the excitement of going to the US in the 90s, the light and air seemed different. Then, a shadow started falling, there was a rotten smell from the early tea party that made me reconsider and give back my green card. Now, I'm a truly happy and passionate Swiss citizen. Never have I been more sure I made the right call.

FLOSS.social
@randahl How do the other new Oblasts feel about it all?

@randahl Let's play hypothetical questions:

If Putin had his agents in US government, what would he do differently to cause fall of United States?

I think, this is the moment United States lost Cold War.
