The vice president used the podium at the high-level security gathering that had been focusing on the Russian invasion of Ukraine to raise social issues animating many on the American right.
Much as I kind of wish the US would be overtaken by a european nation or Canada. Unfortunately it’s the problem of how military progress has happened since WW2. AKA the US military is scaled up enough to basically make the USA vs “Every nation of the world suddenly decided to gang up and attack the US at the same time”… is an even match.
Which in and of itself is terrifying to me, that we let that happen. I mean realistically what is more likely to happen in history… 1 crazy leader goes tyranical… many groups need to get together to stop it. Or… every nation in the world goes insane at the same time, one powerful nation that still holds it’s sanity needs to snap them all out of it.
In short IMO a long time ago the world should have done a "OK look, it’s not good for one guy to be too much stronger than everyone else. We need to start a pact where, say the US starts trading it’s weapons to 10 or more countries… so that theoretically a 5 vs 1… should be a guaranteed victory for the 5.
Sorry I wasn’t saying that there should be open war. I mean like, I don’t know, what if Trump and Musk both happen to get some sorta serious food poisoning while visiting the G8 Summit or something. Wouldn’t that suck?

Bet no one saw that one coming, World War III is everyone versus an insane America.
Not just America I’d wager.

Disregard below/take with a grain of salt
Conspiracy theory: I don’t think Ivanka Trump “fell”
It’s eerily similar to the Kremlin defenistrations that are happening
I get the feeling the different countries have Trump exactly where they want him
