Vance embarasses the US

2025-03-01 01:04:14.918707+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

So apparently today Donald Trump and JD Vance showed their whole asses and were owned by Zelenskyy in their attempts to give the rare earth parts of Ukraine to Putin. The response was predictable, Europe realizes they can't trust the US.

All as Pete Hegseth has ordered US Cyber Command to stand down on Russia planning (the entire scope isn't clear) and Peter Navarro denies reports that he's floated kicking Canada from Five Eyes.

We are so getting cut out of intel sharing agreements by our allies over this. I mean, if they have a brain. Anyone with intel training 101 (that isn't Israel) will conclude that the US cannot be a trusted intel sharing partner anymore.

I’m old enough to remember when Ronald Reagan stood in front of the Berlin Wall and said “Mr Gorbachev, how much of east Germany’s minerals are you willing to give us?”

At this point I think we can safely assume there's a moderate chance that the US will leverage access to their cloud companies to bully other countries, or do something that could get them embargoed. Having data in AWS, in gmail, in iCloud is a liability
