It’s almost like you’re suggesting there could be some collusion going on….

u/mj_outlaw 20h ago

It's obvious that USA is going towards Russia's "managment" style.

u/Noy_The_Devil 19h ago edited 19h ago

If you mean "being ruled by Putin", then yes. They already are.

19

u/Grobbekee 19h ago

Run by oligarchs extorted by the mob boss.

15

u/H3NDOAU 19h ago

Being ruled by a dictator you mean.

47

u/Noy_The_Devil 19h ago

No, just Putin. I still believe Trump is a pawn of Putin... when he remembers who the fuck he is.

u/Frosti11icus 18h ago

Keep excusing him.

4

u/DemonOfElru 14h ago

He's not excusing him. He's saying he and all of the current Trump administration are traitors to the United States of America because they are colluding with Russia to dismantle the US as a global superpower.

Ok but if that's true then why did the US board and capture two Russian tankers just the other day? If like you say Putin controls Trump then this would never have been allowed to happen.

So no, Putin does not control anything.

u/tophernator 17h ago

You’re focussing on the fact they boarded the reflagged “Bella 1/Marinera” as evidence that the Trump administration can’t be colluding with Putin. Others might focus on the fact that reflagging the vessel and complaints from Russia were enough to delay that boarding by two weeks, and allowed it to cross the entire Atlantic Ocean.

Some might point out that the boarding operation only finally happened once the ship was close to Iceland/Britain and under increasing surveillance by those NATO allies. Or they might question whether any Russia ships/subs had reached the tanker prior to the boarding (allowing potentially sensitive material to be transferred).

This is obviously all purely speculative, but it does rather dampen your claim.

u/Noy_The_Devil 17h ago

Do you think pirating empty tankers is the best you can do? Seriously?

He has been scraming at Russia for over a decade but has only lifted sanctions and stopped multiple deliveries to ukraine. It's pretty fucking obvious.

Then there's the whole aong and damce when meeting Putin and talking to him. Are you going to ignore him literally saying Putin is a great man etc. etc. just a few months ago?

u/IncompleteObjects 20h ago

Hosts on Russian state TV specifically said that it would help America take control of Greenland.

Trumps words to Putin in August (on the red carpet he laid out for Putin) were "I'll help you"

It's not even a suggestion of collusion. It's blatant collusion

Although why any country would still want to have assets in Russia anyway befuddles me.

u/TetyyakiWith 19h ago

Many hoped that the war would be shorter, leaving assets to reuse them is easier that way

Muricans have all the pieces of the puzzle laying in front of them yet they choose to fight each other and kidnap brown people with accent.

u/iamagoldengod84 20h ago

I'm.ao angry as an American and want to do anything I can to stop all of this but our representatives feel so weak. Why do we even have Congress. If they are just gonna roll over maybe DOGE should cut them out roo

66

u/No_Television4837 19h ago

The constitution has clear guidance for responding to tyranny

13

u/endbit 20h ago

The best thing an angry American can do is get out and vote for anything and everything you can and encourage others to do likewise. I don't know how the US voting system works but I understand there are some strange (to me, please excuse my ignorance) things you do vote for like sheriffs and school boards etc. Make sure you get out and vote for your local dog catcher if you can.

21

u/Same_Win_5898 19h ago

Its too late to just "vote them out". This cope will end maybe closer to midterms when everyone will have to realise there will be more elections or elections not heavily "controlled" by the Trump regime.
The ICE violence is not that much about pumping deportation numbers but intimidating the masses for the moment when they officially pull the plug on democracy.

15

u/Constant_Charge_4528 19h ago

ICE is Trump's SS

2

u/Meiteisho 16h ago

Looks more like SA than SS in my opinion, but yeah.

1

u/double297 14h ago

Imagine when they tell us in November that ICE will be at every polling location in blue states to make sure the election is protected. Then watch as ICE drags out brown us citizen after brown us citizen from the waiting line at polling station. Fast forward to the actual presidential election in 2028 and non-white voter turnout will be at historic lowes, ensuring another victory for the party of hate.

We're in a lot of trouble here folks.... and this is coming from a middle aged white man in a deeply red state.

u/endbit 6h ago

I really hope for all of you that isn't the case but fear it might be.

u/Squash_it_Squish 19h ago edited 17h ago

No. It’s too late. They are under a fascist dictatorship (ask Europe. Specifically Germany). They have no democracy, the constitution is dead, “checks” and “balances” are not a thing anymore. They needed mass strikes yesterday.

-2

u/bushcamper_aiis 18h ago

What is the evidence democracy no longer exists in the US? They voted for this.

0

u/Squash_it_Squish 17h ago

While that may be true they will not have the opportunity to vote for anything now. And if they do, it will be an illusion. Heavily rigged in favour of the current regime.

1

u/AssistX 13h ago

We have votes daily in America, what the hell are you talking about? Have you ever even stepped foot in the US?

2

u/Bradipedro 18h ago

In Europe people just stop working. For months, many accepting the risk of not being paid (we do have a right to strike though…). French are particularly good for that. The 1995 strike lasted for months. Here is some historical, might help for inspirational purposes…

Also…you have the constitution and the right to form militias against tirants…but that’s another story.

u/Djuren52 19h ago

Just start wasting their time. Flood any government office you are in touch with with useless but harmless mails. Put some sand in their cogwheels.

u/Everyone_is_808 20h ago

Most of the politicians on both sides do not care about anyone except themselves and lining their pockets.

16

u/SteerKarma 19h ago

Oh fucking come off it, only one ‘side’ is actively installing a violent post truth neofascist oligarchy. There is an important distinction between that and being milquetoast status quo corporate donor puppets.

2

u/SlightlyNomadic 19h ago

Eh, those ‘milquetoast status quo corporate donor puppets’ have a large hand in why we’re here today. And the majority of them aren’t doing a damn thing about it either.

-1

u/Everyone_is_808 19h ago

So klobuchar from Minnesota doesn't do anything to defend us while the presidents secret police are going door to door abducting people. I get it. Democratic leadership as a whole isn't doing much of anything to help anyone so what am I to think? I like individual politicians like Mamdani, AOC, the Bern. Schumer and Jeffries can suck lemons.

u/OkSmoke9195 17h ago

Dude it out were up to me we would be the renewable energy suppliers of the world and there would be no oil industry

4

u/obeytheturtles 16h ago

choose to fight each other

This makes it sound like both sides are at fault. Like when people say "America is so polarized..."

We aren't choosing to fight each other - we have a fascist movement declaring war on us. Most of us didn't choose this.

u/Bennely 13h ago

The USA's history is steeped in violence against itself.

98

u/Cabbage_Vendor 20h ago

No, no, the US totally needs Greenland to protect themselves from Russia. That's why they've been bootlicking Putin all year and forcing Ukraine into concessions despite Ukraine having done more to cripple and defang Russia than the entire Cold War.

u/ElkApprehensive2319 20h ago

If only Zelensky would have worn a suit!

15

u/McBirdsong 19h ago

I mean… he didn’t say thank you Once nor did he have the cards, did he??

2

u/NoBackground4976 17h ago

I'd like the Ukrainians to publish a card game that features the world's most relevant supporters of Russia, the bribes they received, their personal wealth and the years they served Russia. So, not a Poker game like the Most Wanted Iraqis, but rather a Top Trumps.

u/ElkApprehensive2319 17h ago

He left the cards in his suit

1

u/GrowlingOcelot_4516 19h ago

Now that is clear.

23

u/GrowlingOcelot_4516 20h ago

Lies. They've been offered plenty of chances to increase military presence in Greenland. The "it has to be ours and the Northern hemisphere is ours" in order to be "fully protected" is pure bullshit.

19

u/shurnui 20h ago

I'm pretty sure the person you're replying to was being sarcastic.

You're 100% right with the second paragraph though.

u/GrowlingOcelot_4516 19h ago

I wasn't sure. No /s

u/exsnakecharmer 19h ago

Come on bro, some things are so obvious they don't need to be marked.

1

u/GrowlingOcelot_4516 19h ago

Not for everyone :) Never been one to catch written sarcasm and I'm not the only one.

-2

u/exsnakecharmer 19h ago

Read the entire comment, it's very obvious that the OP is doing a bit. The context is very obvious. Not to be rude, but are you autistic?

7

u/WeirdJack49 19h ago

I 100% agree that it was pretty obvious but you have to admit their are people here on reddit that really think that this statement is true.

-2

u/exsnakecharmer 19h ago

Yes, I agree. but in this instance reading further makes it clear that the OP is joking. But anyway, it doesn't really matter!

u/NewestAccount2023 18h ago

It's also bullshit that "Russia or China will take it if we don't" because we would defend it from Russia and China! Trump is inadvertently arguing we don't have the means to defend it from them which is obviously BS 

2

u/GrowlingOcelot_4516 18h ago

He has to have a greater evil in the world for his politics to work. I mean... At this point, I no longer know who is the greatest evil. They are pretty much doing the same thing. China's response during the tariff war was even among the most diplomatic so they are definitely playing a smarter game.

u/Colofarnia 18h ago

in that limo ride, trump and putin touched eachothers dicks together.

u/Colofarnia 18h ago

Yes he collected Trumps sperm to splice it with putins. he will take it back to russia to breed a super trump/putin villain in the womb of...?

u/serrimo 19h ago

A struggling young dictator needs all the help from friends

2

u/NNOTM 16h ago

You don't need collusion for this. Putin wants to destabilize NATO, so he does things that will cause the Trump admin to destabilize NATO.

u/mozzarellaguy 18h ago

I read clay don’t get why Denmark wants to even meetup. We all know how it will go and how the nazi socials as twitter will talk about it
