Chilling parallels between Trump and Putin. [View all]

Putin is just a few steps further down the path that Trump wants to take. In the past week or so, we have seen Trump declaring his intent to invade sovereign countries with the claim it's for our security ( Putin's argument vs Ukraine and Nato).

He is also threatening oligarchs here to get them to follow his bidding ( Zuckerberg surrendering to Trump with Bezos and Musk already in that camp.). Again that's how Putin operates in Russia.

Of course he is also threatening the free press who pretty much has fallen in line, Fox News is the equivalent of RT, the media arm of the party.

My hope is that Europe pushes back strongly. The US may have the better army but the economic power of EU is comparable to the US.

I am not sure we would end up in a military conflict with Canada or Denmark, surely there are enough people here who would stop the madness.
