We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.

Are the Files used as a weapon? (lemmy.world)

With the arrest of Lord Mandelson less than a week after Pedophile Andy, the various dramas being cooked up by US ambassadors in Europe, Rubio openly stoking division, investigations in multiple countries, house searches etc, it is becoming clear that this release of the files so far is mostly having consequences for Europe, a place that Putin is really trying to destabilise for a long time now, and agent Orange is seems to be delivering once again.

When the most recent data sets were released just 3 weeks ago, I was wondering why they would do this even though Trump is so many times in the files. But tied in with the sudden change in behaviour in a bunch of European ambassadors, and Rubio being more of a dick than usual, I think US has effectively begun a multi vector attack on the European people.

Whether this is because Orange man wants Greenland and can’t get what he wants with tariffs anymore, or something else, I don’t know. The bottom line is: any justice or accountability we are seeing today, seems more part of a destabilisation strategy against Europe by the US fascist regime, than any type of accountability for the girls and boys affected by this.

The fight isn’t over. Congress has about half a year left to hold anyone accountable before the fascists aspirations become a totalitarian dictatorship and the Democratic Party is labeled as a terrorist organisation.

I think that's too much to speculate about to say for certain. But anything can be used a weapon.

Maybe part of the reason to release more files was to destabilize Europe, as per Putin's ambitions, too, with his cyber/psychological warfare in Europe. But as the sole reason? Despite all the pressure?

But once files got released, I'm sure involved parties made efforts to spin it in their favor whichever way and pressure the shit out of anyone getting heat for being implicated, so that they don't talk the important bits, like, "yeah, saw Trump loads of times around naked underage girls, can I get a reduced sentence now please?"

These aren't really US interests though, they go counter to them. And to say something that I think is easy to verify and many already know, but takes time to source: Trump is a Russian asset and racehorse for oligarchs and tyrants, so, many of these moves most certainly originate elsewhere than the US.
