He's gonna come for Europe next, just watch abd see

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 35 points 3 days ago (8 children)

Alienate all your allies speedrun

Jokes aside, why? There literally is no good reason to piss of people that like you and are willing to work with you

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Destroy the economy, collapse any remaining faith in democracy, sell the nation to the highest bidder.

It's going to be the biggest and most destructive form of disaster capitalism we've ever seen, mainly because they are the very people who are engineering the disaster in the first place.

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Again, that is the thing I don't understand. They are already filthy rich. Why crash and burn everything? Wouldn't it be better to just continue making boatloads of money?

[–] RobotZap10000@feddit.nl 19 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I see you don't understand. They always need MORE.

[–] LH0ezVT@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago

They are already getting more. They want more more.

[–] spirinolas@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

"They want more!"

"But, they're already making more money...what's the point?"

"Who said anything about money..."

[–] harmsy@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They have first boatloads of money, yes, but what about second boatloads of money?

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Instant gratification. More money and power for me now, don’t care otherwise

It's nothing to do with putin. It's just greedy sociopaths are prepared to exploit the state the world finds itself in. They've always done it and always will it's just the modern world is unique in that almost the entire population of the western world is the target of the exploitation this time around and the world will almost certainly never recover from the environmental damage that will continue to be done and accelerated while people are too busy fighting over DEI and trans rights.

The culture wars are a distraction to the great heist.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

It furthers Putins goals.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Destruction. That's why.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's an idiot. He only thinks in terms of strong man projecting. He's entirely incapable of real thought and reflection. He knows it's right because the idea is in his head. Thinking was never a part of this.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

He's had this weird thing about tariffs since even before he was in government. I think someone influential to him once said that tariff wars were the way to go. He tried them last term and they went poorly but that hasn't deterred him what-so-ever.

He's just parroting someone else's bad idea, like most of the rest of project 2025

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's one of two things:

  1. Bully mentality. "Beating people up means I'm strong."

  2. Kompromat. "Putin said I have to beat people up or he will ruin me, and I know what he has on me."

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What’s in it for me, personally? These countries do not directly benefit Trimp, plus one of the many things he campaigned on was isolationism. Apparentlys people fell for that

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't understand your comment.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Maybe I assumed too much context ….

It’s one of ~~two~~ three things:

Bully mentality. “Beating people up means I’m strong.”

Kompromat. “Putin said I have to beat people up or he will ruin me, and I know what he has on me.”

  • narcissism /instant gratification. If it doesn’t directly benefit me, now, then I don’t care
[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 days ago

Oh. I mean that's definitely a Trump Trait but I don't think it's relevant to a conversation about why he's attacking his allies.

Trusting your question isn't rhetorical.

Jokes aside, the Christian Dominionists running the show want the world to burn. It's their best case scenario, endgame or whatever. But before THAT happens, they're meant to make God's laws in heaven Man's laws down here, carve their faces into a few mountains, take the last grain of profit from the earth. He with the most stuff wins because God thinks like Santa (if you have more stuff, you're a very good boy). Don't overthink these Good Folk. Hitler and his nazis were exactly the same flavour of Imperialist Expansionist genocidal nutbars.

They're evil, is why.

Hence our current speedrun towards armegeddon. It's why they're all about endless expansion for the O&G and military industries. It's why they have such a violent hate-on for that environmentalist kid, Thunberg. Hope and international co-operation for the common good are absolutely their enemy. Their World To Come requires war.

If you think like they do, of course you want to piss off anyone willing to work with their neighbour. People getting along is bad for business.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

That’s what he’s already done.

[–] thedaylights@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago

It's part of reshoring industry to the US. Additionally, China has built factories in Mexico in order to avoid high US tariffs. The US is decoupling its economy from China. That's a necessary first step for war against China.

[–] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And we'll spank him like a little bitch!

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago

Please do. I'll be more than happy to rejoin at this point.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

i'm honestly terrified. the last thing the entire planet wanted was a puppet orange for a fascist billionaire having all the nuke launch codes

He already is basically. Fucker shouted down the phone at the Danish PM.

[–] Tabula_stercore@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

~~molotov-ribbentrop~~ trump-putin pact

[–] LostWon@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

He's already threatened the EU will be tariffed too.

[–] M137@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

"abd"

How do you not see that you've mistyped..?

[–] nope@jlai.lu 2 points 2 days ago

Beep boop, I am not a bot.

No, I mean, it happens; I do not always take the time to re-read my comments is all. As long as people are able to understand what I say, it's okay :)

Maybe this time, they will save us from the Nazis.
