They are headed for complete fascist take over. Going through a phase that Europeans went through a century ago, end up destroying themselves.
It’s very concerning that they have nukes. JD Vance said something about the risks UK and France owning nukes, I think he just wanted to start the conversation because I think he believes that it’s actually US that is the risk. We know that the guy is not actually a Trump ideology zealot from his pre-Trump alignment.
- nullocator 10mo agoI think it'd be a mistake to assume that JD Vance is not exactly what he portrays himself as at this point. He certainly seems onboard with everything thats happening and is happy to defend it and push the boundaries for more lawlessness.
- mrtksn 10mo agoI agree but IMHO he is not in for the ideology of it, therefore he might prefer not to destroy the world for ideological gains.
- AnimalMuppet 10mo agoI'm not sure... My read is that Vance may be a pure opportunist. He may be doing what he has to in order to stay in Trump's good graces, because that's where power is right now. But I've seen him put out very quiet "yeah, that's the administration's position, but I don't actually agree with it" messages once or twice. I don't think he's someone who is under sway of the Trump cult of personality. I suspect that Vance's agenda is Vance.
