Accept the deal or we escalate’ is diplomacy slowly turning into a pressure campaign.

Kinetic engagement is a diplomatic overture.

Maybe we should stop considering the USA as a real "adult" country. It's more like 50 little ones under a trench coat pretending to be a grown up.

Yes, and we should always keep in mind that trump and the yank population are not separate entities. Trump is the person they chose to represent them and speak on their behalf.

We are NOT by any stretch of the imagination all Trump supporters. We have a choice: run away and let Trump have this country, or stay and try to convince people to vote him and those in Congress that refuse to hold him accountable to the Constitution, out. I stay not because I support Trump but because it's the only way to oppose him. So please don't go lumping to us all together. I'm sure nothing would please Trump more than to have his narrative that he represents the majority of America to be validated.

Yes. More people who voted did vote for Trump. Would you like me to leave the country and not vote against MAGA to try to stop them, or prefer I stay and try to vote them out? The percent difference between the two groups isn't large, and the hope is a blue wave will push them out. Of course, if all of us who hate what's going on leave, nobody will be left to vote. Oh, and let me tell you just how encouraging it is to know you're trying to push the USA to reverse course and are hated both by the right inside the USA and everyone outside of the USA at the same time. It really makes you want to stay and fight. Believe me, the easier road is to abandons ship.

Ah yes, with all the violence against Palestine and Iran, and the threat of invasion looming over Greenland,  we should not forget that the *real* victim in all this is you. /s

Technically most people either voted for him or didn’t vote against him.
