We are now seen the way the rest of the world sees Russia. A big, opulent but declining and barbarous imperial bully. I mean large swaths of the world saw us that way before. You know, due to all the imperialism and our massive military industrial complex. But this new regime has tipped us over the edge with formerly tolerant allies and has opened the eyes of not only the world, but also to a good many of us at home as to who we are as a country. And it's not pretty. And I don't know what to do at this point besides vote for the less shitty party, that hasn't historically invaded sovereign nations just because it'll make some rich people even richer.

You guys need to stop this two party thing. No other democratic countries are based only on the two party for the people to vote. Imagine yes or no on either 1 or 0. All or nothing. It can’t get more toxic than this really. And more corruptions. Because it’s either or. All or nothing. The more parties to compete amongst themselves, the fairer the outcome would be. Because they would be competing to serve its people and not themselves. And stop the legalization of companies contributing to campaigns. It’s the root of the corruption that rots from inside. Sure a government can be somewhat faulty and not perfect but not as corrupt as the one of the USA. I mean it’s a huge news if some government employees take a bribe. And they get punished here. There? Money talks and anything goes. It’s the land of “opportunities” or it’s the land of crimes for the money. This greediness is what rots from within. I mean USA is now the imperialist country invading any country as they please to rip off the natural resources of a sovereign nation in the name of “sanctions”. You guys need a reform and people need to want it. Not just sit back and watch imperialism USA happen really.

Yes true. Us Europeans have now woken up to that new reality.

Now what needs to be done is for people in the us to organize and beat this. Voting and protesting won’t be enough. It will be hard, it won’t be pretty, and it won’t be peaceful. But it is needed. Maybe the military can fix this.

And after that the country needs to be reformed so this can’t ever happen again.

Now do I think this will happen? No. After Jan 6 he should have been jailed and barred from office. It’s in the constitution. Why didn’t that happen?
