"The breaking point came in November 2024 when Trump was elected a second time. At this point the reality was clear: over half of US voters had given up on the values of a free society. That turned a problem concerning one individual into a problem concerning a country. Even when Trump is gone, the problem will remain. It is long term. The US is, in foreign policy terms, a rogue state."

From my insular British perspective, this seems unarguable.

"This is not a subtle argument which requires a deep reading of events. … The US threatens to invade Greenland. … It celebrates and praises Vladimir Putin. It berates and despises its traditional allies. It starts wars which lack any kind of legal, moral or strategic validity. It destabilises whichever global arena it turns its attention to. It aims to undermine or destroy international institutions, including the UN, the WTO, Nato and the EU. If that’s not a rogue state, then what is?"

@mike
Is the state to blame for all this or Trump and his regime?

@nuwagaba2 At this point, they are effectively one and the same. He has assumed control, and neither Congress nor Senate cares to stop him.

They won't care until they become the victims themselves. This is the time where Americans must join hands together and save their nation . Can I share with you about my project?

@nuwagaba2 I am not American myself — I am just looking on in dismay.

@nuwagaba2 I'm sorry, but I'm going to say no thanks. I'm already above capacity.
