This needs to fucking stop. Every single day people get killed as they try to get food while the western world is arresting people that say they don't want to see them die anymore. All the while governments around the world are looking into this issue with the same urgency and determination as deciding on a national bird.

Hey US oligarchs, this is your future. You're not special and you are replaceable in the eyes of the government.

Jesus fucking Christ. The fact that he is getting away with so much bullshit based solely on the fear that he *might* do something is absolutely infuriating. Like, I get it. I understand that it's a complicated issue and these people caving to him are trying desperately to appease him to save their own countries or themselves. But this man, and whoever is backing him and possibly pulling the strings, is purposefully destroying society for more money and power. So much shit going backwards because less than 1% of the 8 billion of people on the entire fucking planet felt like they didn't have enough.

And at the end of the day, when everyone is done appeasing a madman, what will be left? What kind of world will we create as we bend the knee to the man that wants us all to suffer? If you appease the madman to save yourself, the only thing you will get in return is a life of fear in a madman's world.

What's next? Helping Russia in their wars? I hope it was fucking worth it to "own the libs."

He probably never even talked to anyone besides his "yesmen" which will tell him whatever he wants to hear just so they don't get kicked out and/or arrested.

I literally said it was a good thing in my comment and I'm glad that governments are starting to call it out. But last time I checked people are still dying so it's not like it's suddenly over just because governments started doing the equivalent of a strongly worded letter. When people stop needlessly dying that's when I'll celebrate.

I'm glad countries are finally saying something, but at the same time they kinda waited until the last minute. The western world sat idly by as innocent civilians have been being murdered on a daily basis for over a year and we should never let them forget that. And it wasn't just Israel trying to hide the truth.

Neither of them want a ceasefire. Russia wants to take over Ukraine and Trump wants to pretend that he's always busy trying to solve the problem when he isn't going to do a single thing to stop the war. They'll keep the war going as long as possible for their own needs.

So... Business as usual, I suppose?

Not only that, but they aren't even hiding it anymore. If this is truly what people want than we are fucked as a whole.

I cannot wait to see how the Trump admin will spin this. Either that or they have a meltdown and immediately call it a rigged election. Bonus points if he tells Canadians to storm their capital.

Daddy hasn't told them what to say yet and these kinds of outlets don't know how to think for themselves anymore. And at this point it's pretty much all news outlets based out of the US don't know what to say without him.

I mean, if you go back and look at earlier satellite images there sure as hell aren't any piles or red stains across the ground. I'm not saying it's dead bodies, but it's not nothing either.

"Soar" is a strong word when you consider they were higher less than a week ago. Can't wait for the next thing he says to drop the market before the weekend so his boys can get in on the next pump and dump. He literally tweeted "NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO BUY" right before he paused the tariffs.

They are literally pumping and dumping the stock market as a whole. It's market manipulation by tariff as they make bank on peoples fear.

Bro just crashed the market with a printed out excel sheet.

The fact that they can change their opinion on their close friends based upon what the president says is kind of pathetic. They call everyone else sheeple and brainwashed as they believe everything he says without question. The definition of a cult.

And without it most people would not even read anything about it until it's too late. Even with this argument it still accomplishes its goal better than a webpage or download that 80% of people will procrastinate on or forget completely. Case in point, the information has been out there on the internet for decades yet nobody is prepared for an emergency until it's at their front door. And if the internet is out you already missed your chance.

And what about an emergency where you lose internet and/or electricity?

One thing to keep in mind is how geographically huge the US is comparatively and it makes it a lot harder to organize massive protests. Serbia is about the size of Wisconsin which is a relatively medium size state. Add that into the fact that the US is a very car dependent country where some people live 2 - 3 hours away from their capital or even a city. I'm not using this as an excuse, just a possible reason why ours in the US aren't big yet. I went to a couple in my state and I was extremely happy with everyone there but also extremely disappointed with the turnout. And I had to drive an hour and a half just to get there. I can't imagine how difficult it is for others in the bigger states.

It could be a lot of cope on my end, but I can't just assume everyone is just giving up. The last thing the US needs right now is apathy.
