Probably not unimportant even for you: the fact that women's right to self-determination regarding abortions has been effectively abolished in the US. This of course contradicts any civilizational progress and cannot be interpreted as anything other than a severe violation of human rights - I would never have thought that this would be possible in any Western country, but what do I know.

It doesn't stop there - not by a long shot. I don't even want to go into the illegal circumstances under which the USA operates a barbaric torture prison in Guantanamo Bay, or the numerous crimes against humanity that the USA has committed over the years. For the moment, let's stick to the things your fascist government is up to.

The Trump administration's policies have raised significant concerns regarding human rights both domestically and internationally. Key areas of restriction include:

• Immigration and Asylum Rights: Policies have dismantled protections for asylum seekers, expanded immigration detention, and criminalized immigrant communities. Refugees have been blocked from entry, and asylum applications by undocumented migrants have been banned, violating federal law[1][2][4].

• LGBTQ+ Rights: Executive orders prohibit transgender individuals from serving in the military and deny federal recognition of transgender identities, mandating recognition only of binary sexes[1].

• Birthright Citizenship: Efforts to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented parents could render many children stateless, affecting access to healthcare, education, and identity documents[1][5].

• Policing and Civil Rights: The administration reinstated “no-knock” warrants and choke holds, increasing risks of police violence disproportionately affecting marginalized communities[2].

• International Human Rights Engagement: Withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council, defunding UN refugee agencies, and sanctions on the International Criminal Court undermine global human rights frameworks[3][7].

• Humanitarian Aid: Suspension of development aid and humanitarian assistance worldwide impacts vulnerable populations dependent on U.S. support[1][5].

These actions collectively erode protections for marginalized groups and weaken international human rights systems.

And that's just a glimpse. If you think the US does not suppress human rights you are plain wrong.

Ah yes, the usual patriotism...

That's why I wrote "...now definitely a rogue state". Not that there was much of a question before but now it should be obvious even to US-citizens.

You must be male, white, and a US citizen, I assume ... and you are obviously ill-informed.

You can't be serious.

I'm not from the US - that's why I'm asking. Thanks for the insights into the lives of US citizens. It's even sadder than I thought. But rest assured: it's not like this everywhere in the world. Not yet at least and the rest of the world just needs to see that your horrible government doesn't force your way of life on everyone - because that's what Trump and his criminal crew want.

True. But what I mean above all is that the US is now more unpredictable in terms of foreign policy than ever before.

By rogue state, I mean a country that poses a threat to world peace due to its unstable and dangerous government.

As a rule, the following criteria are usually applied, almost all of which the USA now fulfills:

• Authoritarian or totalitarian government
• Severe restriction of human rights
• Promotion of terrorism
• Pursuit of weapons of mass destruction
• Unpredictable and dangerous foreign policy

What a surprise...

But that still doesn't explain why the prosecution never brought criminal charges, even though that would not have overturned the civil judgment in the unlikely event of an acquittal - I can only explain that by corruption.

Oh man, that can't be true. I'm so sorry for you that you're surrounded by such ignorant people. It must be hell that nobody really listens to you. I'm really sorry for decent people like yourself and probably many of your colleagues, who I'm sure are good people in themselves. Tell them that the US is now an ally of Russia - maybe they'll understand.

Very understandable, especially since the president still owes your state half a billion dollars for massive financial fraud - for which he didn't even go to prison. What actually happened there?

Good luck with the gardens. I've never really been a fan of US gun laws, but now it all seems strangely sensible.
