This is how real the war is in Europe:
Denmark has called up its young women for mandatory military training and is now in the process of expanding it's navy with
— 6 additional armed frigates for The Danish Navy
— 5 Arctic patrol ships
— 21 patrol ships for The Marine Home Guard
— 4 sea surveillance ships with sea mine laying capability
— 1 underwater surveillance vessel
— underwater drones
This is in a country of just 5.9 million.
@randahl Is there any debate in Denmark around canceling those expensive “stealth” F-35s and buying European instead? Now that there’s no longer a reason to appease the US you’d get a lot more bang for the bucks that way.
And if the threat of a direct or indirect “kill switch” isn’t bad enough, the moment Trump approve F-35 sale to India, Russia will have every single secret worth knowing about them.
@KimSJ @randahl I'm no historian but I suspect future histories will conclude there was no other way it could happen. The US war machine made its overthrow virtually impossible.
And the fact that every 4-8 years they are intent on electing complete headcases, even during wartime, means that as a partner they're completely unreliable.
Start a war with a Biden alongside you may finish it with a Trump. Ask Hiroshima how that goes.
Iraq would likely be glass if 911 had happened under Trump.
@BonehouseWasps @KimSJ @randahl as an Israeli I agree, a lot.
It was and still is clear, that the United States are unstable. For years now, especially since Trump was elected, people joked a lot about an American rebellion. It just seemed so inevitable.
Especially since Obama restricted funds usage to American soil, Israel started reducing reliance on America, in favour of Europe—we even tried ascending to the union, but Netanjahu spread propaganda that Europe is Muslim, and antisemitic...

@BonehouseWasps @KimSJ @randahl ...although Europe was at the time less muslim and less antisemitic, the latter still incredibly true today, and I'm pretty sure the former is as well.
Before Oct. 7th and starting again 20 days ago or so, American Jews were viewed as endangered, as in, personally—it is just so very clear that America will one day turn on us.
But we simply couldn't break the alliance, until now.

@BonehouseWasps @KimSJ @randahl first there's Netanjahu; he's sponsored by American organisations (that should not be legal) in addition to his Qatari corruption.
But second there was the Iraq war, the American protectorate in Kurdistan, the Afghanistan wars, and so many other middle easern wars and territories we could not make an enemy of.
An third, Obama's restrictions forced Israel to move weapon production to America.

@BonehouseWasps @KimSJ @randahl Israel is now rebuilding its entire defense industry precisely because of America's lack of reliability, despite Netanjahu's corruption and links with them: when the Ukraine war started, the United States didn't pay for new weaponry; no, it reallocated the weapons it stored in Israel, meant to deter the Hamas.
Consequently, Hamas attacked, and Israel now went fuck you and is in the process of removing reliance on American aid completey.

@BonehouseWasps @KimSJ @randahl
We're in fact in a pretty important crossroad right now: Netanjahu is more hated than ever, Hamas is the weakest it has been since 2018, and America is collapsing.
Ascending to the European Union and joining a European defense pact is only limited by one, singular thing: Palestine.

@BonehouseWasps @KimSJ @randahl
It was extremely difficult to get the process of detaching from the US to even *start*; But completing it is going to be even harder, as it necessitates an alliance with the EU, which requires peace.
The two-state solution is impossible now: Jerusalem cannot be international area, as the United Nations de facto does not exist anymore (Europe cannot maintain it alone) nor do Israelis nor Palestinians trust it.

@BonehouseWasps @KimSJ @randahl
But the problem with a one state solution is again America.
Trump wants to conquer Gaza. My theory is that he's aiming for the Suez canal; and obviously, when (and hopefully if) the United States go full Nazi—Palestinians will be expelled my ass, more like a Holocaust—the states will invade Israel, that way they can exterminate the 16 million all at once this time around, and add to that the non-Jewish Canaanites as a bonus, why not.
@BonehouseWasps @KimSJ @randahl
And Netanjahu, as does a traitor, has managed to purposefully spread the concept of an American Gaza as an alternative, which means before any real progress can be made, we have to wait for America to become more and more hostile to Jews, as otherwise any idea of moving to the much more stable and democratic European influence will be impossible ("look what Trump is doing for us" kinda bs).
So yes, the only ones who can end America are America.
@BonehouseWasps @KimSJ @randahl sure!
Lemme know if you wanna know anything about Israeli Palestinian politics—pretty much every single news source complains about the mainstream and claims that what *it* says is true—and by saying this, me included, lol.
@Ash_Crow @BonehouseWasps @KimSJ @randahl that's nonsense: cyprus isn't in Europe as well. Morocco wasn't accepted due to politics, flat out.
Besides, Israel shares European culture and history. It's the origin of christianity and Abrahamic religions as a whole, was invaded by European empires constantly (philistines, greek, rome, ottomans, UK), the origin of all european alphabets, major trade partner with greece (i.e. BC), where western civilization originated...
@Ash_Crow @BonehouseWasps @KimSJ @randahl
Besides, if Israel joined the EU, the European migrant crisis will be over, as hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees would simply gain European citizenship, which will enable them to move freely, to their homeland, or to any other European country, spreading the stress on culture and the economy neatly.
It's a win-win situation.
@Ash_Crow @BonehouseWasps @KimSJ @randahl sorry for infodumping, but the "but it's not in Europe" is simply an excuse for "we don't want to give you veto power but can't switch to direct democracy because of hungary"
And the migrant crisis I am talking about is a cultural one, where countries who previously could have their cake and eat it too—e.g. france—benefitted from in this example state religion separation, but now that they actually have another religion that does things differently...
@Ash_Crow @BonehouseWasps @KimSJ @randahl ...there are disagreements. And those disagreements will become a lot more civil if the Israeli Palestinian conflict ended, in a lot of ways.
The economical migrant crisis is very temporary imo.
#BBCNews - Lithuanian capital unveils invasion evacuation plan https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq80g3zlvdvo #Vilnius
@randahl this reminds me of a movie/show scene where it was said that the only thing that US had to do to beat USSR was to start money spending race. USSR broke up when it had no money left.
Accuracy of that scene aside, I feel that just because of statements of 1 person, another country has to prioritise militarisation and spend less on other productive things they could have done instead.
Just to be clear, I am blaming the person, not the country.
If NATO is dismantled by Trump, this can get a LOT more serious too:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_nuclear_weapons_program
"Sweden was strongly influenced to abandon its nuclear weapons program by (security guarantees from) the United States."
Without security guarantees, more smaller countries may get their own nukes as they are perceived as a way to deter invasions by larger neighbours (i.e. Russia etc). The world would get a lot more dangerous.
I wonder how well Canada is prepared for guerrilla warfare.
It's possible that our next war will be against American imperialists.
