Anyone else notice how the media has been hot for 3 weeks and then there was a very obvious crescendo with trump backing russia and now everything's cold. What is that? (lemmy.world)

I’m not sure that’s true but there was the CPAC conference last week, which used to be for all conservatives but now is really just a 4 day MAGA/neo-fascist conference. Trump, Vance, and Musk all spoke and there were probably after parties and meetings with other speakers and attendees. Poland’s President Duda attended and met with Trump.

They still found time to beclown themselves with that “5 bullet points” email. But a lot of the White House press was covering CPAC and conferences are mostly boring.

When did it ever go cold? Russia's certainly bring addressed and is not leaving the spotlight any time soon.

the MSMSs which is complicit/and owned by right wingers, arnt going to report anything significantly bad of trump. all the news is almost always a distraction anywas, trump and elons gaffes, it was a plague on reddit, so much so i started to block those subs.

Murdoch is trying to figure out what to do.

What do you mean hot? I haven't noticed a crescendo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 minutes ago

And what do we mean gold? I’d say it’s just as chaotic as it has been these past two months.

They weren't doing much for the first 3 weeks either. The closest to resistance they've gotten is the AP fighting the gulf of America bs. I don't feel like anything has changed, maybe it's the people or algorithm you get your news from.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 minutes ago

Of all the things they could pick to fight, it’s this stupid gulf name distraction.

I don't watch the news. Nukes flying yet?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 59 minutes ago* (last edited 59 minutes ago) (1 children)

To address the question seriously for a change, I think nukes are extremely unlikely because nations generally want to capture their enemies' people alive for their labor force (and also not annihilate claimable resources if they can help it).

At least, I hope I'm right.

No one has ever successfully attacked a major power across a full ocean moat. Logistics win the real war. I don't see how anyone attacks the USA without a total annihilation strategy, or from within like is happening now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 35 minutes ago

Right, "from within" is how it's going... Grim.

You'll be the first to know. Or last?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

I'm right on the edge of multiple major targets so I'll be seeing the news flash either way

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Maybe the Great Tricktator has fired enough of them by now?
