  • A couple issues.

    The Signal chat didn’t show that anyone wanted Europe dead. Agree or not, it showed that the administration wants Europe to be responsible for their own military interests (As though the US received nothing from being the security for the West over the past 75 years.)

    If they want to see Europe destroyed, those receipts have to come from elsewhere.

    Secondly, helping Ukraine is in everyone’s interest except for Trump and the GOP. Stopping the stupid fucking tariffs is in America’s interests. Trump succumbing to his age is in America’s interests.

    Don’t confuse America’s interests with those of the people who want to destroy and weaken America. Other than that, the point is correct. Europe needs to be much more active in Ukraine, even if the US administration may object.




  • Europe needs to take real action. You want Ukraine to actually win? Go make it happen. You can do it.

    Putin is not going to use nukes to win Ukraine. Kowtowing encourages nuclear proliferation.

    America, even this America, does not want war with Europe. They may sabre rattle, but nothing outside of sanctions will come of it. And if all goes reasonably, the US should hopefully be an ally again in four years.

    You need to work on your military. Ukraine is the place to do that.

    The US is in this mess because none of the good guys would take bold action. EU, you’re the good guys now. Will you do anything?



  • While I understand that, I’m in America. My first priority has to be getting people off of Twitter.

    Would I prefer open source, non-profit software? 100%. It’s the smarter and better choice for so many reasons.

    But if Bluesky is going to gain critical mass, I’m not going to fight it. I’m having a hard enough time getting people off Twitter. I’ve written the media address of environments I’m familiar with asking them to organize a move, and I mentioned both Bluesky and Mastodon.
