For everyone else it is just "2 weeks", but Putin gets 50 days? Amazing....

On the other hand, none off this matters anyway, because TACO. I would be surprised if, in 50 days, anything changes.

Yeah, we have hard times ahead, and probably a lot of people will die, but I don't see humanity go extinct any time soon.

I recommend to watch "A case for optimism" from Melodysheep , which goes into that a lot more.

Das würde ich darauf schieben, dass Elon auch nicht gerade die hellste Leuchte ist (insbesondere was zwischenmenschliche Interaktionen angeht) und dadurch nicht erkannt hat welche Knöpfe er bei Trump drücken muss.

Aber ist auch nur Bauchgefühl. Ich hab doch auch keine Ahnung😅

Für Trump selbst kann ich mir vorstellen, dass es die Hauptmotivation ist. Soweit ich das beurteilen kann, geht es ihm nur um sich selbst und seinen Bank-Account, alles andere ist für ihn nur Theater. Aber: Er ist unglaublich leicht zu beeinflussen und es gibt andere Figuren die das ausnutzen, die deutlich andere Motivationen haben.

In seiner ersten Amtszeit ging es auch immer um seine persönlichen Befindlichkeiten, aber die Politik war gemäßigter (relativ zur zweiten Amtszeit), weil er von gemäßigteren Leuten umgeben war.

Zumindest ist das der Eindruck den ich bekomme.

There will be no other administration trying to roll back these things for at least 3.5 years and at that point a lot of the damage is probably permanent.

So I really wonder what the world (and the USA specifically) will look like in 10-20 years or so...

It's so much back and forth all the time, that I don't even know anymore what the current tariff rate is. 10%? None? Probably not even worth remembering though, because it changes all the time randomly anyway

I'm not in the US and not planning to go there any time soon, so I'm good. I agree with the sentiment in general though😅

Yeah, it's insane. Usually I don't follow what Trump says 1:1, but read about it in some news article, social media, etc. That is bad enough, but when I actually hear him speak sometimes, I need to cringe so bad... And then I remember a majority of Americans either decided "yep, that guy seems the best option" or "can't see a difference between the candidates" and I lose all hope in humanity.

Well, need to have good mechanisms to keep it democratic (where Russia and the US fall short). But yeah, not as easy as "just do it, lol" 😅

I would say it probably makes more sense in countries that are really hawkish about torrenting (like Germany) and you don't want to risk being caught.

Ich gehe schwer davon aus, dass diese Partei genauso in der Versenkung verschwinden wird, wie alle anderen Parteien außer den großen 2 in den USA. Außerdem spielt das alles eh keine Rolle, wenn die nächsten Wahlen nicht mehr frei sind.

I would go for a walk every day😅

Because of that, I actually considered for a moment that some government official in denmark is called Lee Jae Myung. 😅

Die haben Trump wiedergewählt... Ich sag mal so: Ich glaube da nicht so an Einzelfälle. 😏

So viel Zeit muss sein.

But how are actual people doing?

I would say the rest of NATO should be able to hold against Russia for sure, especially in its current state.

I would just be worried about short-term problems because of disrupted logistics due to the US withdrawing. Or maybe that other countries would follow the US in leaving.

But in the end, that is just my guess.

What a stupid timeline, in which the above is true🙄

I agree. If we start spending half of our budget on the military, I'm going to lose my shit. 5% is some weird fantasy number, that somehow is actually discussed now? If not even the US, who are known for their excessive military spending, are even close to it, I'm sure you can have a proper military with a lot less.
