The Trump regime is throwing out most of the USA’s soft power (except for entertainment media) and switching to hard power wherever it can. Going mask-off with its relationship with Europe (and NATO, Ukraine etc) is one of the ways it’s doing that.
I’m enjoying immense Schadenfreude from it; especially from all the smug European NAFO bros getting hit by the reality check that being a European NATO member means having a pair of boobs tattooed on your back.

Starmer hoping nobody notices that his “coalition of the willing” is not a coalition of the capable.
Honestly after the way Zelensky got humiliated here, he should ask Putin to let Ukraine join the Russian Federation. It would spite Trump, it’d be funny as fuck, and Ukraine would probably get better treatment from Russia than it would under the US vultures at thos point.
The dog knows how to find you again and knows that you feed her. Have a plan for that.
I like how, in playing as the Emperor’s hand, you can steer Aedyran policy away from colonial expansionism. I like that it’s realistic about how much you can push it, while at the same time you can be very anti-imperial in the privacy of your conversations with the dream voice. I have a feeling there’s gonna be some cool ending options, based on those convos and Obsidian’s track record.
We only even have limits for presidents because the same libs, right wingers, whined and pissed themselves after the country elected the least-shitty president 4 times. If the president is good… who cares. Let them stay 50 years. I don’t understand the term limit shit.
Their media milks this so much, too. They propagandise term limits until the concept ossifies in people’s brains and then they point out Xi Jinping has no term limits every time he gets reappointed, and that alone is proof of dictatorship to liberals. The guy’s on a roll scoring W after W for China and the Western media just bleats about how democracy is being crushed under the weight of all of those Ws.
Bombing was never part of the plan… the plan has always been, and continues to be:
The dog robot was objectively better than the humanoid robot back when the humanoid robot couldn’t walk unless the floor was completely smooth. The humanoid robots can walk now, and they can do an increasing number of tasks in a work space designed for humans without needing hardware additions.
The dogs still win out in terms of speed and agility for the moment, but working in a power plant I think if the situation calls for speed and agility it’s time for the human supervisors to step in.
60 years from now is 2085. That’s loads of time. 60 years ago was 1965, and look how much has happened between then and now.
Multiply that by the number of states in the Global North, all of them on their own path. That’s a huge possibility space.
Put the billionaires in Guantanamo Bay and then give it back to Cuba. Win-win.
Not at all. It reminds me what we’re working towards. But then I’m lucky to be in a part of the world where we’re moving forwards and working in a job where I can contribute to that movement.
Why are you spamming this as a reply to everyone in the thread?
I feel for our comrades in the US who have to live under Trump, but at the same time I can’t look at the dumpster fire that is the current US Government without feeling some measure of joy.
Couple days ago I hear that he’s moving to halt chip imports from Taiwan to have them manufactured locally. Yesterday I heard about the tariffs on Canada. This morning he appears to have axed USAID. Now this.
For all the harm he’s going to do within the US, he’s also rapidly diminishing the US’s ability to do harm to the rest of the world.
It might have legs in the Western Propaganda mill, but here in HK it’s done, and the way Asians are being treated in the West is hammering nails in the coffin of any doubts.
Because you can live in a tank, you know.
People who want to convert tanks into housing. New definition of tankie just dropped.
Oh no!
