They act in a way that shows they have zero plans to rescind power. So, IMHO, they will try to keep it by force. Using ICE, or the National Guard or stochastic
  terrorism.

Yes he does.

He has been chosen by the Soviets in hope he could be used to cripple the USA. He is not the only one. They threw a lot of things to the wall and looked what stuck. The Russians are not playing 4D chess, it just turns out Trump is their most efficient asset.

Well described here: https://desk-russie.info/2025/...

There is no logic.

Trump is genuinely a retard. It is not just that we don't like his societal choices or his morality. He is really that dumb. He made clear he believes tariffs is some tax the exporters pay themselves.

Also, the tech stocks will crater, Barron Trump will buy the dip and then the orang-outang will cancel the tariffs and Barron will make tons of money.

"As for why the U.S. government is so invested in the issue?"

Because they are a bunch of fucking morons, that's why. And that professor is spewing rationalizing baloney. I am tired of journalists inventing convoluted explanations for the grunting of a shit tossing bunch of apes. And between 30% and 40% of Americans still support that band of monkeys. This is a crisis for Canada, but it is a decline for the USA. Even if someone gunned down this stupid government, the 30 to 40 % of American retards would still be there and vote for other stupid shenanigans.

IMHO, midterms won't save us. Our proportion of morons has reached critical mass. And anyway this government and its emanations show no sign of being willing to surrender power. Elections or not.

And most countries have quotas of local content if you want to broadcast into their territory. That is a banality.

I just gave a cursory glance at your stupid post. You pissed me off, as did this Russian attack. So i just donated to Ukraine via the united24 website:

https://u24.gov.ua/

I am not sure discussing with Russian shills accomplishes much. But my money makes a difference on the battlefield. If Russians piss you off one way or another, go to that website and do some donation. Even small ones count !

Ouch ! No long ago, an asylum claim could take up to two years in Belgium. Now there is a compulsory delay of 12 weeks. But even then, there is an exception for "complex" cases and people coming from country in state of war. And unlike what some far right people claim, 70 % of demands are rejected. (I do not claim you claimed otherwise)

Besides, the new EU law imposes a compulsory detention for asylum seekers who come from countries which have a low rate of acceptation. Below 20 %. And in principle, now a refusal means an expulsion. At least from an administrative point of view. Before, you could get a refusal and then months later an order to quit the territory sent to you address, which you had probably vacated before anyway.

What the... !?

You imagine Moroccan illegals as way dumber and way better informed that they are.

NOBODY emigrates in the hope of ending up as a shitter-cleaner. Those who end up in these jobs hide it to their families and invent rosy stories to hide their shame. Often, they end up in a worse situation in their country of arrival than they were in their own country. They stay (often illegally) to avoid admitting failure and losing face.

Mostly, they hope to get rich, to avoid "Makhzen" (The injustice of the system which annoys small people, like cops arresting you for growing pot while the the neigbhours who do exactly the same are not bothered) and "Hogra" (The strong contempt towards poor and uneducated people).

And they end up poor, looked down by everyone (actually even hated as the country they often end up in have a bad experience with Arab immigration, like Spain, France or Belgium) and with zero rights as they are illegals.

And many Moroccans know that well enough not to be interested by work in Europe. Even sometimes legal and qualified. Because even if they pay is higher, the standards of living equation does not always work out in favour of Europe. It is not difficult to learn that if you speak French as many of them communicate among themselves in that language.

I saw these. :)

I wish i had mod points.

I am supposed to quit the country. Now i will have to leave by boat ! Well, at least less risk of TSA or ICE.

I think this is the beginning of a long process.

They are close to a nuclear threshold, but do not talk yet of building their own deterrent. But they talk openly of needing a nuclear deterrent. which is IMHO how they prepare their public for what might come next.

They know they U.S.A. Is not reliable anymore.

(For the dunces who do not read serious newspapers, unhinged tariffs= economic war = not an ally at all. Retards at the U.S. government= not funny at all = decapitated head of military staff = U.S.A. Not able to fight long wars for lack of a competent brass in charge, etc... What matters is their perception, not ours.)

So they need their own deterrence. It would not be the first time they have someone else's nuclear weapons on their soil. But my guess it that "nuclear talk" is a way to slowly introduce the Japanese public to the idea that they must be ready to build their own nuclear deterrent quickly if an urgency arises. Besides the nuclear aspect, military alliances are reshaping in the region to face the loss of trust in the U.S.A.

It is fascinating that most of the American public, even the part that passes for more or less left are not at all aware of this. There is no "going back to normal after the midterms"

Southern hemisphere, there are already the ELT and the GMT being built there.

The TMT is supposed to observe the north. Canary Islands thus make sense even if less ideal than Hawaii.

I do not claim you are lying but in many cases these kind of incidents have been traced to Russia. Entirely possible the current Trumpanzees might have learned from the Russians.

Far-right in Europe exploiting this is a problem but on another hand Europeans are becoming less and less naïve and indecisive in front of destabilization attempts.

Yes, scientific conferences are being either cancelled or see half attendance for more than a year now. They move to Asia and Europe. People disappear entering the US legally. Some people have wound up dead. Some have been jailed for social media posts. And being European and relatively rich doesn't protect you. Even the Ig Nobels have moved outside the USA because some winners refused to come fetch their prizes. Too dangerous.

Besides, it has been way more than a year it is official policy for public researchers of some EU countries to have the same instructions to go to the US than going to China.

- Buy a blank computer with zero data on it.
- No phone
- Once at your hotel, download your data from the cloud
- You can buy a local phone if you desire.
- Go to conference
- After the conference, discard the computer and the phone if you bought one.
- Cross the border empty-handed.
- And before all, consider if a travel to the USA is absolutely necessary

These ones come from French researchers. As i said, it is official policy.

Besides, i heard Honolulu is overrated. ;)

When i am at it, a friend of mine working in Germany has moved from the Automobile industry to the defense industry. One of the entry conditions was to be:

- Citizen of a NATO country
- NOT a citizen of the United States

And i have already been told shedding my double nationality would not be enough for some defense related work. The simple fact i have lived several years in the US seem to be a liability for some.

It is hardly surprising if you open a newspaper from time to time.
