US Foreign Policy 4.0: making the world safe to flee to if the MAGAts win here

Congress passed a law that says he can't do that but Congress doesn't really exist so bye bye NATO.

I think it is possible, even likely, that because he is about to do the biggest TACO of his life he needs an even bigger stink to hide it behind. He would rather fight "you are a traitor" from his ever growing army of enemies than "you betrayed us" from his few remaining friends.

He doesn't have friends. He makes quid pro quo transactions with smarter people who pretend to be his friend so they can use him.
 
George Will is shocked, shocked.

His worldview and rhetoric helped create this situation, and morally weakened Americans to the point where we could commit the ultimate crime against humanity.

Iran is able to hit the very regional base from which our attacks originate. Our attacks are no longer one-way, as they were in all prior Middle Eastern campaigns. That is a critical strategic change. This despite us sacrificing our population's health, welfare and future to feed our military for the last 75 years.
The Conservative Plan was: give all our wealth to Raytheon and Lockheed and in exchange they (ahem, we...) provide lethal military force to impose our commercial empire, so Americans writ large can continue to support the relative quality of life we got addicted to after WW2. The result: the quality of life of the median American at home was hollowed out, but at least we had the Harkonnen occupations to ensure resource imperialism. But now it looks like American military force can't protect itself against asymmetric force. The Iranians nightly erode their fuel, logistics, and radar, and incrementally render the American forward deployment less efficient and less effective.

When we are forced in a corner, we still have the final nuclear solution. Do you trust a nation of consumers brainwashed by ads and screens and alienated from its humanity by the viciousness of capitalism not to use it? Not Dump. Not the Big Bad Elites. The Norman Rockwell Vox Populi itself?

A country that elected Dump could also use nukes. They have shown their level of moral degradation.
 
Priorities.

While negotiations were underway in Islamabad, US President Donald Trump was attending a UFC fight in Miami, alongside several members of his family and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
 
We need to remember this when the Cynical Chic say "If voting changed anything it would be illegal."

It changed something. The people of Hungary voted out a fasc regime, despite them doing everything the Republicans and Dump have done here and more. We can follow suit.
 

Diana Sosoaca, a far-right member of the European Parliament from Romania, on Sunday called Vance’s Hungarian visit “a big mistake” given widespread revulsion at the Iran war on the continent.

“You invite a representative of the United States of America, who created the big disorder in this world?” Sosoaca said in an interview posted by the Kremlin-controlled network RT, formerly known as Russia Today. “It was the biggest mistake he could do before the elections.”
 
Consequences of burning off the Orban parasite.

Orbán’s defeat is a major loss for the far right in Europe. Orbán was, in many ways, the pioneer of the current form of European illiberalism and championed populist anti-EU and anti-migration messaging long before others adopted it. Orbán also hosted the global Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and has enjoyed the support of the Trump administration. The week before the elections, Vice President JD Vance visited Hungary to rally others in support of the Hungarian strongman.

This also indicates that European politics remain somewhat insulated from outside influence attempts, as voters primarily focus on domestic issues. For the Trump administration, it demonstrated that support for a “Make Europe Great Again” movement might be weaker than anticipated, although Magyar will likely try to maintain close ties with Washington.

Orbán’s loss also adds to a trend in far-right politics in Europe, wherein parties close to Moscow perform worse than far-right parties more critical of Russia—as seen in Italy. This trend will likely further trouble far-right parties in France and Germany, which have consistently struggled to productively position their views on Russia and their relationship with the Trump administration in a way that appeals to voters.

Hopefully the end of Orban heralds the end of Fico (Slovakia) and the end of the Republicans.

The important thing for Magyar is to use the machine Orban built to destroy the far right before shrinking the office's powers. You know the liberals here would immediately dial back all of the extra Presidential powers Dump has grabbed in an intellectualized symbolic gesture. Fuck that. When a Nazi comes at you with a rifle and you barely manage to wrest it from his control, don't immediately drop it. Shoot him first.
