    China has been supplying weapons, drone material, and restricted electronics to Russia on the backend and now we're supposed to believe the EU loves China again.

    Sure, let's rebuild nordstream 3. That'll teach the US and Trump a lesson!

    All these rumors and news is designed to piss Americans off and put pressure on him to make him blink. I doubt they will barring a coup or impeachment by a maga congress.

    We're in this hellride for at least a month or two

    I think it might seriously be time to plan for an exit from the US lol

    It may seem petty but I cannot help but wonder how these people voted
    It matters to me. I cannot and will not feel sympathy for people who VOTED FOR THIS
    (I feel the same if they didn't vote at all or opposition voted or what ever . . .this is what they asked for)

    Don't worry, there will be something once the downstream effects of this hit wallets. People often say we don't protest like France because we can't take time off of work to do it; we'll have lots of time once there's mass unemployment.

    Now, whether or not that anger is directed at the people responsible is an open question. It's likely that MAGA will lash out at out-of-power Democrats if that's what Dear Leader commands because the echo chamber has never been stronger.

    Delusional. Go look at Chinese social media. The entire county is rallying around XI and attacking USA. The EU will happily take America's place in the photo

    Okay, we pull out of NATO. Have fun living under your bridge with Xi.

    You still have debts to pay.
