But his recent actions are starting to make me think otherwise. He has pulled out of the organisation that has an arrest warrant out for Putin. It's little things like this that prove that if he isn't a Russian agent then he is seriously compromised. Everything he does seems in Russia's favour, which is just fucking nuts. It is no different than if in 1942 the USA partnered with Nazi Germany. And to think we ALMOST avoided this. If only it were two inches to the right, this problem wouldn't exist today. Crooks should have had actual target lessons. It might have all been so different if he had. Trump and Putin’s worldviews and philosophies on life, politics, and economics have a lot in common. I honestly think Trump has more in common with Putin than he does with Democrats or most other Americans.

Re: International politics (China, Russia, UK, etc.) Apparently the Trump administration leaked sensitive classified war information to a journalist…
The foreign policy part of this administration is what frightens me the most as a US citizen. All the other non sense can be fixed with a new administration, but this can affect the safety of our own country.

Re: International politics (China, Russia, UK, etc.) Darth Indiana Bond wrote: Apparently the Trump administration leaked sensitive classified war information to a journalist… Yes. They invited a journo to a Signal chat. The Trump administration is just like a group of people that met on a far-right Facebook Group. Utterly unprofessional, and implementing ideas as they come up with them instead of going through rigorous thought and planning and testing. This Trump 2.0 is not going to leave the world in a good place. I think it's time for Europe to ditch the U.S. for the next four years, and work on its own to solve problems. We do not need a mafia that cares solely about money being in charge of world security. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Re: International politics (China, Russia, UK, etc.) That's actually what Trump wants, the globalists hate him because they want pseudo World Government type cooperation with the US fully on board.

Re: International politics (China, Russia, UK, etc.) Perhaps, but the risk is the possibility of the end to global world peace amongst the world super powers.

He just wants an excuse to tariff them and turn them into the bad guy for his domestic audience. He's a dictator, remember, and they ALWAYS blame outsiders for their own problems.

Re: International politics (China, Russia, UK, etc.) Trump is Human; or Homo Sapien, which means one thing: “you’re with us or against us”. That’s what it means at the start, and that’s what it ultimately means.

Re: International politics (China, Russia, UK, etc.) Now like Romania lawfare is used to ban and jail Marine Le Pen by the European saviours of democracy. But my understanding is she was having trouble holding onto being the #1 of her party over this other guy Jordan Bardella, so if they can't find an excuse to arrest him it won't do them much good to have banned Le Pen.

Re: International politics (China, Russia, UK, etc.) I haven’t done my research. What crime did she commit?
Edit: she committed embezzlement. Sorry that’s pretty cut and dry

Re: International politics (China, Russia, UK, etc.) They're saying she hired people to work for parliament but since they did work for her party, it was misusing the public funds to pay them for it.
Sounds like bullshit. Even if they're technically guilty of that, blowing it up to 4 years in jail and banned from running instead of being some infraction thing is where the political motive comes in.
They know the political winds are blowing towards right wing anti-immigration parties and are trying to use lawfare to save themselves and because they think they know better than the "misinformed" voters.

Re: International politics (China, Russia, UK, etc.) I think the anti-immigration part will stick, but the whole Russian/Hungarian/Trumpian fascist angle where the governments are simplified to the whims of the executive over the courts and systems of law is going to keep the right populist movement from going too far. Winds are also shifting left too with desires for stronger worker rights and better government protections. This happens to couple with anti-immigrant rhetoric as to shore up a citizen base that reaps the rewards of their citizenship status. The Canadian elections have shifted dramatically left recently and the Left has huge victories in the UK and France
