Die härteste aller verteidigungspolitischen Fragen: Kann sich Deutschland auf den nuklearen Schutzschild der USA noch verlassen? Oder braucht Europa oder vielleicht sogar Deutschland selbst einen eigenen? Dazu habe ich für Spektrum der Wissenschaft Experten von Thinktanks befragt. (evtl. €, aber Abo lohnt sich sowieso)

Intolerance of intolerance *is* tolerance

Morally, logically, practically

#MAGA said a bakery can refuse to bake a cake for a #gay couple

They don't understand the social contract

So they will learn the hard way what the world on their terms means:

if you deny that being a billionaire in the most dominating country in the world isnt the definition of "living in good times" i guess you are any less able to conclude who the weak man is, and where things are heading.

Trump and his family have never served this country. Even while in the WH the first time Trump did nothing in the service of America. #trump #MAGA #republicans https://federate.social/@mattblaze/114167694204931486

#MAGA - Trump intervention at Columbia alarms defenders of academic freedom

> Federal officials told the university it must immediately place its Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies Department under “academic receivership for a minimum of five years.” The demand was among several described as conditions for receiving federal funding, including $400 million already pulled over allegations of antisemitism.

It hurts me to say this, as an #American, but people need to avoid the #USA for 2 years, at least, 2027, when the #Democrats can get a majority in #Congress and stonewall #Trump

If that doesn't happen (which would be a serious tragedy), then 4 years. And if we get a #MAGA/ Trump president in 2029, write off this country for a generation at least

Dear #Americans,

It’s not you we hate, it’s your government, it’s the #Russian asset #President, rapist, felon & low life #Trump.

We’ll be saying harsh, even abusive things about the #US or #America - they aren’t aimed at the majority of Americans, but at the #Nazi loving #Republican #MAGA loyalists.

Your govt has betrayed it’s allies, broken long term trade agreements, turned some of it’s own population into targets for thugs & bigots - the world is just responding.

"Nach Recherchen von #Correctiv unterstützen und fördern Trump-nahe Stiftungen in den #USA Netzwerke und Konferenzen, die #Christdemokraten und Akteure aus dem #MAGA - Lager vernetzen wollen. Das Ziel: libertäre und zum Teil ultra-rechte Positionen voranzutreiben.
Anders gesagt: Der #Staat soll auf ein Minimum schrumpfen, der Markt unkontrolliert sein, #Klimaschutz am besten wegfallen"

is the prey

Hostility to #Europe, and the #EU in particular, is where the various strands of a potential #Maga-#Putin front come together. The Russian and US presidents share a venomous resentment of the soft power that Brussels wields through the aggregation of many national markets into one trading bloc.

From #Trump’s point of view, the #EU is a wicked cartel, denying US farms and businesses their inalienable right to sell to millions of European consumers. For Putin, it is an enemy apparatus, part of the post-cold war western expansion that locked #Russia out of its natural sphere of influence.

For both men, the idea of pooling sovereignty among democratic nations for mutual economic advantage is incomprehensible. To negotiate as equals with the EU – a flimsy paper entity without any tank divisions to call its own – is absurd and abhorrent. Their answer to soft power is to confront it with the hard stuff, connive in its dismemberment and share the spoils.
