As an outsider (I live in Belgium) it feels very weird and dystopian to see everything happening in American politics with Trump and Musk.

On one side, it’s very interesting and almost entertaining; on the other side, it’s scary. I can’t imagine what it must be like to live in the USA.

Americans, how do you cope? What’s your take on the situation?

    If we don’t stop the rich from using the American military to take over the world then pretty soon the rich will come for your country too.

      Would this be the military that could only reach a standstill in Korea? That lost in Vietnam? That lost in Afghanistan? That ran away scared from Mogadishu? That “won” in Iraq by generating the world’s largest collection of terrorists until the blowback lost you two large towers and a smaller one?

      That military?

        I think you’ll find, as a regular civilian or a VIP in the target country, that you’re making a distinction without a difference.

        Ask Saddam Hussein’s opinion on the US’s loss in Iraq or the hundreds of thousands of dead civilians how they feel about winning in Afghanistan.
