    Well yeah, anything that weakens NATO is red meat for him. So to speak.

    It’s regrettable to give Putin any comfort, but I don’t think Canadians are wrong here. The US is firmly in its ‘flailing and desperately externalising’ phase of imperial decline, and I think a GB-style “soft landing” of the American empire is too much to hope for.

      “It would be so much easier for Canada if they just agreed to join the US.”

      Most threatening line from all Trump’s attacks for me. It might seem harmless but it reads: “it would be so much easier for you (for the US) if you just stop struggling.”

          It’s because deep down he knows he’s a weak, pathetic, insignificant man and needs to hurt the most vulnerable to feel powerful.

          I don’t even think he’s actually sexually attracted to children. I think he gets off on causing lifelong suffering, and the more vulnerable the person he’s breaking is, the better it feels. Children are the most vulnerable and he can do the most damage to them.
