Sadly most of the world now thinks that Trump is primarily focused on self-enrichment.
Trump has rendered the US pathetically corrupt.
Trump is compared to Idi Amin & Mobutu for good reason, absolutely corrupt & completely lawless.

America’s Future Is Hungary MAGA conservatives love Viktor OrbΓ‘n. But he’s left his country corrupt, stagnant, and impoverished.

Remember: Viktor Orban has built a corrupt, stagnant Hungary that is much poorer than it should be

In today’s Vatnik Soup, made together with chef invitΓ© @martinlaineolen.bsky.social , we discuss the extensive links between pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and Russian officials and intelligence operatives, and how Western politicians reinforced these links.

Was sagt es eigentlich über uns als Deutsche und als EuropÀer, dass wir es zulassen, dass die Menschen in der Ukraine von Putin in KÀlte und Dunkelheit gebombt werden? Wir loben nur die Ukrainer für ihre "Resilienz" und machen große Worte. Ein Armutszeugnis für Europa.

In this 4th Debunk of the Day, we’ll refute an absolute classic of vatnik BS, the crown jewel of peak dishonesty: whataboutism.
Now, not everything that looks like whataboutism is wrong. Seeking consistency or comparing actions or responses is normal.

Excuse me, but are there no republican congresspeople who are embarrassed to support a blatantly corrupt president?
Who are you?
What do you stand for?
Autocracy & kleptocracy?
This is truly embarrassing for the US.

Die Katastrophe, dass es RechtsextremistInnen und ihren noch legalen parlamentarischen Truppen wie der #AfD
so sehr ins Hirn geschissen hat - ein Land wird mit der Zeit unregierbar, wenn sich Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit und Menschenverachtung wie ein KrebsgeschwΓΌr durch die Gesellschaft fressen.

Putin hat seine Raketen verschossen und die Menschen in der Ukraine sitzen in bitterer KÀlte und Dunkelheit. Und nachdem alles kaputt und die Raketen erstmal verbraucht sind, verkauft er Trump "eine Woche nicht in StÀdte feuern" als große gutmütige Geste. Zynischer geht es nicht.

For decades, the US has benefited enormously, because we all trusted the US as the benevolent hegemon, but idiot Trump has ended that trust. Then the many questions arise from Europe:
1. Should we accept the dominance of poisonous US social networks? No! Laws are needed! /1

You know what that means…

In today’s (first) Debunk of the Day, we’ll talk about… β€œrealistic expectations”.

Russia has the GDP of Italy. NATO β€” which Russia claims to be fighting β€” has 20 times their GDP, and a much stronger and more modern military.

Trump hangs picture of himself with Putin in White House After months of tension the Russian leader has taken pride of place above a photo of the US president and his granddaughter

He treats it like a family photo

In response to Trump’s trade war, the rest of the world makes free trade agreements while Trump fires off new manic tariffs weekly every time another leader says something he doesn’t like.

In 2025, the US gave Ukraine only $1 billion in military support and that was a remnant from the Biden era.
Trump's US gives absolutely nothing to Ukraine because Trump supports Putin.

anything for many reasons.
1. Witkoff obviously supports anything Putin says, apparently for financial reasons, but I don't know.
2. The US demands that Ukraine gives up its fortress line in Donetsk region,...

The is not a new deal - this is Trump surrendering. For now. They have always said that the US & NATO is free to do what it wants in Greenland from a military perspective. Trump said that wasn’t good enough because he needs the US to β€œown” it. So this is simply Trump backing down

A demented Donald Trump confused Greenland with Iceland as a silent crowd watches in horror as the President of the USA humiliates himself, slurring badly and visibly disoriented

The president of the United States is so brain-dead that he doesn't remember which country he's threatening to destroy the world's greatest military alliance over.

It is obvious that Trump is both mentally ill & treasonous, preering Russia and China over the West.
We have know that for a long time.
What really shocks me is that the elected republicans go along & does not impeach Trump for obviously impeachable acts.

Why does Trump want to seize Greenland?
Since the US has full access to Greenland according to its treaty with Denmark from 1951 there is no national security argument, nor mineral rights issue. I see 4 possible Trump reasons:
1. Hide the Epstein files (works well). /1

The republicans in Congress have a simply choice. Do they want:
1. The maintenance of NATO & the Western alliance?
2. Or dictatorship & kleptocracy in partnership with Putin?
If you want to maintain NATO, impeach Trump asap!
If you want kleptocracy & dictatorship, do nothing!
