All these US-centric answers. Learn Mandarin. The world will continue on after the US empire ends.

Rutte works for the Americans literally. NATO is a US alliance. He's European but can't contradict his masters.

The EU will capitulate to keep the US military in the EU. To be candid, I think the USA is an evil empire, but I'm more afraid for the world if the chauvanist Europeans ever had strong militaries again. Their whole culture is based on colonialism and exploitation. A weak europe is good for the world.

Public Money, Public Code. All governments should only be using FOSS software.

Surprised this isn't mentioned more because it's one of the only true alternatives for all the google feature-set.

Zelensky knows he's out next year so he'll promise anything now.

I am a time traveller and I was trying to throw you off my trail but I seem to have failed.

Trainspotting. I do feel like it kept me away from drugs though.

Trump counterbalance keeping it in check but my gut is saying once tariffs come in February there's going to be a market correction. Pure speculation on my part.

Wonder how Article 5 works here..

You're describing the internet though. If two people meet in a public space and conspire to commit a crime, the public space isn't fined. In the same way that if two people on Lemmy meet and then conspire to commit a crime, the space shouldn't be fined. If OTOH the platform owner was made aware and didn't take action, then yes that would be aiding a crime.

I think it il depend on the military industrial complex in the USA and whether they decide to off Trump or not. If Trump goes isolationist then they'll probably merc him. If he invades Panama and starts a hot war with Iran then there probably won't be a world war (ironically). If China invades Taiwan and the US blinks then there won't be a world war. If the US attacks China for taking over Taiwan then we'll be in a world war.
