This divestment is so little and with so little aim.

The whole situation is been caused by a single guy and 400 enablers, whereas the US is a 400 million people country.

The correct form of reaction is a punch in the face during a bilateral meeting, Zelensky came close to doing it but unfortunately he resisted his impulse , that's where the epicenter of all newly generated global problems in the last 10 years lies, in that octogenarian brian of his.



Why don't you go up and punch him in the face yourself? Especially if the problem is just one man and 400 enablers hat should be trivial. Just find 1000 people to beat them up.

In reality that one man is backed by half of the US voters, the Republican Party a lot of rich and powerful people, a clear majority of the police forces and an unknown part of the US military.


> backed by half of the US voters

False. People who say this don’t know that a large percentage of Americans don’t care to vote.


"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice".


It’s still factually wrong to say 50% supported. Nobody knows that.

38% for Harris, 39% for Trump. Larger number wins. The other 23% who did not vote are null choice and could have made a difference.


This isn’t a political move. It’s a pension fund derisking a small part of their investments by moving them out of a riskier asset.


The americans that support Trump are many more than 400.

Also, them having elected Trump TWICE, why would they ever be trusted ?

Also when the alternatives are people like.. Hilary Clinton ?


> when the alternatives are people like.. Hilary Clinton ?

Would she have been worse than this?

And the US had a better choice the second time.


Hilary Clinton could have literally entered office and done nothing, and still be better for the American people than the current admin, which is making life more difficult every week for not just Americans, but a good part of the whole world. But hey, the libs were owned, so I guess that's good or something.


>Hilary Clinton could have literally entered office and done nothing

Like Keir Starmer has in the UK. He got elected for saying nothing too. Country didn't get much worse. Maybe we should have 5 years off changes now and then?


No, I do not even think people like DeSantis or Ted Cruz would have been worse. Trump was one of the worst possible candidates the US voters could pick.


I think it's safe to say that none of the other potential GOP candidates would have threatened to invade a NATO ally.


And you don’t just have to pick from the red team.

But as you say, was there a worse option? It’s hard to find it.

The GOP is the bicentennial institution , the anchor that 50% of the country see as the bastion against progressivism

Conservatism vs. Progressivism will keep raging on for the whole eternity.

Trumpism is for sure made up of the 400 enablers who took control of the bicentennial institution that is the GOP
