Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

The US has been a nation no-one should treat as a serious entity since 2024-11-05, and will not be again until they can prove their ability to hold another legitimate election.
Right now it’s a coin flip as to whether I’ll see that within the remainder of my lifetime.
You definitely SHOULD treat the US as a serious entity. When the government is controlled by psychopaths, it doesn't matter what they intend to abide by. It means that they will use the weapons at their disposal when they so choose.
Absolutely FUCK that. Treating psychopathic bullies as serious entities is appeasement, and provides them vacuous credibility.
The US has been on the losing side of every armed conflict they’ve been involved in for over 80 years, the clowns they’ve currently placed in charge believe that streak is double.
Distance should be applied until shit settles down, isolation if that fails, and ridicule until the populous matures enough to elect representation worthy of respect for once.
I'm not sure what you're definition of a "serious entity" is, but just because the US military has done nothing but fuck up war since Vietnam doesnt make the US non-serious.
Appeasement has nothing to do with it. All of the world's countries need to take the threat of the US seriously. Isolation and ridicule is what the regime wants anyway. If you infuriate the population against you, suddenly the military grows in numbers.
The US should be completely isolated from the rest of the world, until they hold new and fair elections monitored by international observers; and join the ICC to have their past & present leadership held accountable for war crimes.
Maybe... A wall?
