    Isn’t this the guy that campaigned against Trump arguing the pedocheeto was the worst human being in the US? Why would anyone believe or trust this self-serving waste of oxygen?

    “offered a tone seen as softer and more reassuring”? - the message was still the same. Read between the lines and the threats are still there. And as long as the current US government is actively interfering in other countries elections, founding extremist right wing organisations, letting their billionaire tech bros influence people by spreading lies and hate and telling other countries how and with whom to do business we are very far from putting any trust into their words. Their deeds do the talking.

      In a way I’m glad that at first the words matched the deeds even though they’re backpedalling now. Many people needed to hear those words to understand what it’s really like.

    🫨 Something must have shifted for the worse if the US admin is taking a step back.

      Maybe they believe sponsoring the far-right in Europe will give them enough influence soon enough? That sounds like too much long-term thinking for Trump but Rubio, Vance, and Thiel might go for such a scheme.

      They aren’t taking any steps back. They are doing the exact same things, just saying something else so that they can later say “we wanted to be friends, it was you who didn’t” while doing all they can to fuck us over.

    The EU doesn’t speak out for Iran or Cuba. That suggests that the EU still supports the US.

    They have a hell of a lot of revitalizing to do. A formal excuse to Denmark and Greenland would be a good start.

    We’ll wait.

    The resignation and suicide of your president might be a good olive branch you absolute blithering toilet stain.
