The only way we can even begin to fix this is if the entire Trump crime family & their enablers are indicted & incarcerated. The entire cabinet belongs in prison or in RFK Jr's case, executed for innumerable counts of Depraved Heart Murder.

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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

No. Trump is just a symptom .
We desperately need the US Empire to fall. They lead war all around the world for decades and most conflicts are born from them or our two precedent empires : Russian and English.
They simply have too much power and absolutely 0 ethic.

And with the current trends of openly weaponizing the dollar, I would expect the BRICS to expand and the petrodollar dominance to wane.

Who knew that building a pattern of attacking your allies could lead to your allies not trusting you any more?
I don't get it. This is an article about an article. Why not just link the original article published by the Atlantic?
I first heard about it via AlterNet, and you need a subscription for The Atlantic.

It's not accident or short-sighted incompetence either, it's direct from the fascist playbook. Fascism and Authoritarianism feeds on crises and enemies, so if you don't have any of those you need to manufacture some.

As an American I have no doubt that our relationship with our allies will improve once we restore some sanity to the White House, but we’ve forced our allies to diversify their trade to brunt the impact of our tariffs and now that they’ve done so I don’t see any sane reason why they would undo that.
our relationship with our allies will improve once we restore some sanity to the White House
This is not enough unfortunately. Your checks and balances need to be checked and balanced. If they are not working now, why would they work in the future?

America used to be dependable to its allies. Treacherous, but in predictable ways. Now the seal is broken, and it’s been proved that any norm can be ignored. So that’s never going to return to how it was. Its now firmly in the category of erratic unstable partners and that will not change with any successor.

The problem is one of who comes next for America and after that.
Now the world knows America is willing to vote people like Trump into office, it has to act accordingly.
Trump Is what you expect from Argentina or some country already in trouble trying to find a way out.
Not the biggest economy in the world! Now everyone has to plan accordingly that this can and probably will happen again.
Not the biggest economy in the world!
Why would you not expect that of the U.S. because they’re the biggest economy in the world?
Germany is the third biggest economy in the world and they’re currently dealing with a Huge surge in far-right extremism in their government.
Japan is the fourth largest economy and they’ve seen a Rise in nationalist conservative government
The UK is like the fifth or so largest economy in the world and let us not forget what happenened when they Elected their discount Trump
Italy is the 8th largest and they’ve been Governed by the far right for the last four years
Like the majority of the worlds top 10 economies have seen a far-right shift on some significant level in the last 5 years, so I’m not really sure how you came upon those expectations
White House? You are blind to the gravity of the problem. The supreme courts will still be stuffed. The federal agencies will still be full and led by his cronies. Congress will still be gerrymandered to hell. Voting is now on its way to be directly compromised as well on every level. There are more lobbyists with deeper pockets willing to feed the DINOs, and the protections against their corruption has eroded. Even public sentiment is too stupid to survive the amount of time and administrations it would take to fix the whole system, they will accept that both parties are the same on a dime even when the specifics are on radically different scales.
To be fair, the US isn't the only country that is having a corruption problem. We are living through a time where corruption continues to get easier and the ultra rich think they have an out with AI and robotics for the future apocalypse.
The big problem with this is that the promise was secretly "forign policy is uniparty. Whether it's an" R" or a "D" our forign policy will be relatively consistent" and Trump broke that promise. Now every nation has to prepare for the eventuality that different presidents might have different policy toward their allies (and adversaries. No president before Trump would have canceled drills with South Korea on North Korea's behalf). That will take decades of consistency to repair, and as a fellow American, I'm not certain they will get that consistency going forward with the state of politics in the US.

Wow you threaten war on your allies and they are running? Traitor! /S
For Europe, it's a long overdue reality check that we were way to dependent on the US for defense.
This is not what Trump intended, so he does not get credit for that from me but there are benefits.
Not only defense. Software!
Right? Thanks for massive Linux and renewable energy adoption , moron hahahaha.
I'll take a faint glimmer of silver lining there.

It's like this. No shade to Americans, but you guys can do this shit in any four year period. You elected him TWICE.
No hard feelings, but you're on your own.
IDK where you are typing this from, but far-right populism is surging in the EU and some other parts of the world.
In other words, you aren't wrong, but take the situation more as a warning for yourself. Take a hard look in your own back yard, with wide eyes.
The fact that the rest of the world isn't perfect, doesn't change the fact that the rule of law in the USA is completely dead and presidents can now do whatever they want.
You are right about the far-right in the EU, but
- EU is not one country and has a lot of institutions, that is a huge weakness when you need to react to a changing world, but in that context it's actually helping (people might get disappointed with far-left in some parts of EU, before other parts will fully adopt it), and even if Nazi admirers take over more than half of EU countries, it's enough for one with veto powers to make their life extremely difficult.
- A lot of "far-right" in the EU seems to be promoted by ruzzia and now also by the US big tech (twitter is owned by Nazi, Facebook found that hate sells better than other emotions) and the US government does what they can do to block any effort by the EU to control them. So basically cutting ties with the US can help with this

Goodbye Washington.
I hope the entire world turns its back on America.
If they can do this to me, one of its own citizens, imagine what they'll do to you.
