My first thought is “interesting depiction of internal politics in the countries shown”.
My second thought is “I wonder what the spread is of Russians that think it’s good for Putin, or good because they hope he can be the one that puts an end to Ukraine so they move on and begin some sort of recovery”.
Buy, if he can. Expanding land and influence is a big win on the right wing, doing so through “legitimate” means is clean and less controversial to opponents. I don’t see an opportunist that considers themselves a deal maker turning down an opportunity to strike that deal.
Potentially less upsetting to the UK government compared to blocking, which as much he doesn’t care I don’t think he wouldn’t avoid because that’s more in his favour.
What don’t you support and for what reason? Is there anything you do think is positive?
Well, I don’t think that taking Canada and Greenland is a good idea, especially since this is ruining the US’s reputation with NATO (even though the US pays for a lot of NATO) But, I still don’t support it. Things that I do think are positive is the abortion (for the most part, I believe I touched on this) and also the deportation, (also to an extent). My stance on the deportation is that, being that I live in New Mexico (a US-Mexico border state), there are a lot of people coming to the US illegally, but there are also some coming legally. It’s all perspective, but we should deport some, like murderers and r#pists running from the Mexican government, but we DO need to crack down on the cartels moving illegal substances and human trafficking across the border.
ICE deported 270k illegals in 2024 under the Biden administration. That’s the most in a single year since 2014 during Obamas era.
The idea that trump was needed to fix this problem is slightly absurd given the Democrats were doing better last year compared to any of the 4 years when Trump was last in power. And they’ve managed to do it without any massive human rights violations like we saw last time with trump.
while this maybe the case.
it takes someone like Trump to acknowledge the voters concerns about this issue,
it sounds obvious, but from where i am sitting, Trump says what the voters want to hear. just because he shouts louder, doesn’t make him more likely to succeed, nor does saying it in a manner that voters like (ie he’s blunt) mean he’s more likely to do a good job.
this is where Trump “wins” over the Democrats. he “speaks like the people” and particularly the people with the more extreme views and ideologies, or opinions on what the USA should look like
its a cliche to say it, but the typical London cabbie has an opinion on how to “fix the country” - all trump has done is listen to the “cabbies” and said he’ll put those plans in place.
Removing security clearances from people who’d acted against him due to their political motivations seems entirely fair to me. Vetting is about trust and POTUS cannot trust these people to act apolitically.
However, removing Secret Service security protection from people who are clearly the targets of terrorists and foreign powers is very vindictive indeed.
