Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I think it would do the global community a lot of good to simply cut the States off from any resources, all trade, and any aid they need from us (like helping put out their damn fires!).
If the rapist in chief thinks his country is the only country that matters, let them experience the next four years in a complete global blackout.
Maybe then this jackass will realize that the States needs the world more than the world needs the States.
This is 100% the reason that putin installed these fascists in the first place.
That doesn't really change the fact that the damage the US can do under a fascist dictatorships trade wars needs to be minimized. The solution isn't to continue enriching a hostile nation state.
The only chance America has at this point is national upheaval and likely civil war, otherwise the enemy within will remain and continue pulling the copper from the walls. You can't magically deprogram 70 million people from extremism and mental illness. The cancer has to be cut out.
I'm just pointing out how effectively putin has engineered a situation that gives him the most room to continue his conquest of eastern europe
americans are still too content to even have a civil war, still have access to youtube, and all the social media.
Not only that. We should stop honoring american IP (intellectual property). Just pirate all their shit. Disassemble their tanks, hack their cars and tractors. Remove all their software and replace it with open source, Europe backed programs.
Because this will hurt them globally. A crack for a car works in Mexico as it does in Denmark. An open source office suite also helps developing nations, that could then also get rid of MS.
Jailbreak all the Teslas.
EU still needs resources from US though. Remember the Russian gas they were so dependent before 2022? It was largely replaced with American gas.
Replace it with Canadian gas that’s currently going to the US.
