So the US is planning wars involving Panama, Canada, Greenland and China while threatening EU and Mexico? It's all so random and spread out.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

Step 1) get an asset in the white house
Step 2) make your asset crash americas economy <- you are here
Step 3) make your asset start ww3 with america as the bad guy.
Step 4) you have won the cold war, take Alaska back while america collapses
I knew someone so stupid they voted and argued Trump was good and he wanted peace and he would do that.
I don't talk to that guy anymore.
That’s like 1/3 of the US electorate.
It's all so random and spread out.
Until you consider the fact that he’s taking orders from Russia. When you consider all of his actions under the filter of “would a Russian asset do these things” they all make perfect sense.
it's called the "whore of babylon" approach.
...until you consider that one large country that's missing from your picture.
I didnt get the text from him, wtf?
In a normal political environment I'd say this is a normal part of the games China & the US have been playing in Asia for a long time, and actually a good thing, considering how China postures around Taiwan.
But as things stand with the US now, this seems like just one more contradiction, and unclear motivation.
They really just gonna unify the rest of the world against them huh?
god, i'm glad i'm not the burger-taster at the white house these days
Paywalled for me. There's no snapshot in web.archive.org, I tried to save it but did not succeed.
Meanwhile, there's a perfect snapshot in Russia-backed archive.today already. It's uncanny.
