Here’s some history for you: When the Nobel Prize was created, Norway was in a union with Sweden. Seeing as Norway didn’t have any direct diplomatic relations, they were chosen to handle the diplomatically sensitive Peace Prize while the Swedes handled the rest.
Does he know that the Norway doesn’t control the Nobel board?
Also Fuck Trump and this stupid letter. What has he done for NATO except extortion and existential crises? It used to be an effective tool until he got involved.
Trump is a cult leader; it doesn’t really matter whether what he says makes any logical sense or not. It only matters that his brainwashed followers like, believe, and/or get behind whatever ridiculous thing he’s planning to do next
He wants to punish us for not being corrupt enough.
Hope this is a clear sign for everyone here to deinvest away from anything US, as that is the only language the orange dumbbell speaks.
I think his handlers are starting to think there’s a real opportunity to dissolve NATO, or at least get the US to leave/kicked out. Think how liberating that could be for…certain people. How hard it would be for the US MIC to lose all of those exports.
Looking at the rest of the news this morning, I really don’t think “bending the knee” describe what world leaders are doing at all. For example, Canada just re-started relations with China and is increasingly looking like they might buy a fleet of Gripens instead of F-35s, and the EU signed a free trade agreement with MERCOSUR. Everyone is drifting away from the US. They are just doing so quietly, after all, the US is still the world’s biggest economic and military force.
Yeah i know they have been quietly working in the background to replace the US, but its too slow and they so far arent seriously considering the methods that would truly hurt the US regime. As long as they dont directly target the tech sector and remove this insane vulnerability at the core of our society, government and infrastructure, we will always be lagging behind. The EU cant be independent while we depend on Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Apple, Meta, Twitter, AMD, Nvidia, Intel, Cisco, IBM, etc. All those companies are ticking time bombs that could at any point disable large parts of our public and private infrastructure if they were ordered to do so by Trump.
It’s a delicate process. For Canada, the 2 economies are historically very very entangled. Divesting has started, but if you do it too fast or too openly, you will trigger strong reactions from the US. If you go to a head front economic battle with the US, you would create a lot of pain in Canada itself, that the conservatives will lever to gain power (and very probably be much more submissive to the US…).
So yes: do it quietly but surely, don’t make waves, don’t appear to be antagonist.
The manbaby is not smart enough to understand politics. He just understands force. By not doing anything “by force”, he just keeps being a manbaby while the world drifts away from him without him even realizing.
What’s going to happen here is that one day, the turd will start another tantrum and, instead of saying “yes, sir, you are right, now let’s keep being friends”, the same people will just look away the same way a parent ignores a kid throwing a tantrum over a snack they did not get.
I think I’m out of the loop, which of the thousands of possible things is he referring to?
I am pretty sure Scalzi’s trigger this morning is the letter to Norway, but it feels like a permanent and blanket statement for this administration.
I’m too lazy to Google letter to Norway, can you explain it with a meme?
THAT WAS REAL???
whining to norway about not getting a swedish prize is 100% on brand for trump. fucking moron.
Nah the nobel peace prize is from a norwegian committee. The others are indeed swedish
Edit: It’s still stupid because it’s not the norwegian government that awards the prize
lol tfw i’m as dumb as trump
Nah Trump definitely had at least one person tell him that he was wrong and the told them to shut the fuck up and did it anyway
You think people in trumps inner circle ever tell him he’s wrong?
Nah, you’re not dumb, you just didn’t know!

Holeee fuck
Oh jeeesus

No. Just a blanket no.

Its actually incredible how Trump can continuously behave like this, while governments all over the world still bend the knee to him.
Because of money, at least partly?

Drifting quietly away is right.
Gold prices tell the story.
Holy shit, that doesn’t read as bad president, that reads as mentally ill.
Also when I mentioned trump’s letter to my mom, she confusedly asked “he can write?”
I think it’s a spectrum, not Autism, though. Some combination of greed, con, geriatric, uneducated, and dementia.
