Send RFK... They kinda look alike.

Ignoring Trump is one of the best moves you can do, he’d probably resign as president if he weren’t on television all the time and if nobody came to his press conferences.

Iran doesn't take shit

There's no point in talking to Trump because he has shown time and time again that his words are worthless. He's also an attention addict and megalomaniac, so talking to him, especially if it's televised and on the world stage, is giving him exactly what he wants.

They probably saw the Zelensky "talks" and decided to save their time.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 16 points 1 day ago

IDK, he sure didn't seem to want to do any more debates during the campaign after the last one

[–] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 72 points 1 day ago

Honestly I think most of the world feels like that at this point.

A lot of countries by now are stockpiling weapons and weapons accessories in preparation of a war. Talking is leaving the chat.

[–] halykthered@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Lots of countries are bolstering forces by hundreds of thousands, even if their current military is in the tens of thousands. It's eerie how similar it seems when the world is preparing to avoid war, and when the world is preparing for war.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

There is no preparing to avoid war. We had a long peace time because people thought nuclear powers couldn't be humbled by non nuclear powers but Russia went ahead and proved that to be a false assumption.

They're preparing for war be out today to or a decade it's happening and likely in your lifetime.

Tbh, thats the smartest thing evet to say

His words are meaningless and only serve to please his base, recruit fresh meat, and stoke his ego. It's a pretty rational approach if you aren't part of the base.

Trump voters are such pieces of shit. The sooner they end up in his camps and drafted to die, the better.

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeh it's going to be every voter and non voter getting drafted so it's really not a rational thing to wish for angry or otherwise.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

¯_(ツ)_/¯

The mentality where you think people "deserve" things, I think it's just irrational. If your goal in politics is to do best by all, then you're working against your goal. If that's not your goal, then it should be. Wishing harm on anyone is literally a last resort when there is no preferable option and where more good comes out of that harm than bad - otherwise it's an ethical negative. It's alarming to me how few people seem to have thought through that logic.

I'm not a pacifist. Save your sermon?

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 8 hours ago

I think the wise thing altogether is to avoid putting people in camps.

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah, if the US starts a world war it will suck for literally everyone, not just those voters. You're likely to be drafted too, regardless of where you live.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 5 points 14 hours ago

I'm past concern and moved into acceptance. Spent my life working in community affairs and human rights and always voted with everyone's well being in mind, and since I have no control over the current situation, I accept whatever as long as I get to watch his voters eat shit. I'm tired of caring. It's gotten us nowhere. My "liberal" coworkers still ignore boycotts and voting. My black and Mexicano bosses tout Trumpisms. My "liberal" family keeps ignoring the coup. I'm done caring. It's clear we are getting what we deserve as a nation. I am sure you feel differently, and that's also valid. But, for me? I'm here for the chaos, atp.

[–] dzso@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Hey, I mean, thats great, but it's not just the people who voted for him who are going to suffer.

Yeah, we saw similar with the whole US COVID-19 experience, everyone suffers for their choices.
