Hillary Clinton warns Trump stupidity will leave US feeble and friendless (www.theguardian.com)

Hillary Clinton on Friday called the Trump administration’s approach to governing both dumb and dangerous in an essay excoriating the Signal chat scandal and the Elon Musk-led mission to slash the federal workforce, and concluding that Trump would make the US “feeble and friendless”.

The former secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate wrote an op-ed for the New York Times that has been given the headline: “How much dumber will this get?” and opens: “It’s not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the stupidity.”

Clinton starts with the Signal chat group scandal, when Donald Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz, mistakenly added a top US journalist to a small group of government leaders on the encrypted but unclassified app and then the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, proceeded to discuss intricate details of a forthcoming airstrike on Houthi militants in Yemen and report back to the group on the deadly results.

you are totally fine with “genocide” when it comes from Trump.

My comment was specifically that the only crime/concern is the leak, and not the mass murder.

the world’s most powerful malignant sociopaths are working together.

Dangerous delusion. War on Russia was from malignant sociopaths. More importantly to malignant sociopath perspective is that it was a losing war. That Trump may want to end a losing war, to use as leverage war on Iran, doesn't excuse the other wing of the malignant sociopath of needing both wars. The delusion that everything Trump extorts can only be the benefit of traditional CIA/malignant sociopathic sycohpants to CIA enemies is that the response becomes to increase sycophancy to Trump through amplification of division with those CIA enemies. You only help gaslight the victims of democracy.

As far as dissidents are concerned, if supposed Canadians were to object to the defense of Canada, it would be normal/less divisive to suppress them.
