That's just Borat 2
Kim Jong Un is batshit crazy, but he does know the extent of his power. His power doesn't reach much further than North Korea itself, and if he tries anything that might piss off China, he backs off. Trump has no such restrictions, he can do whatever the hell he wants, and does.
The general principle in international relations for the past 100 years is that if you kill your own people, nobody really gives a shit. If you start killing other people, well then that's when other countries start taking notice.
He hasn't been the craziest one for almost four years now.
Dude is looking much more reasonable than all the American allies that don't have nukes.
The western world having a surprised Pikachu face when the American empire starts treating them like it does the entire global South.
Please, please realize that the actions America is taking are (1) not because of Trump alone. He is the leader that enacts the interest of its wealthy ruling class. (2) This is not new. This has been what the US has done for decades. The only thing that is new is who its being done to.
You (your nations leaders) all watched and "felt bad" as it enabled a genocide in Gaza. Some even condemning it while continuing to arm Israel as not to upset America. This cannot be understated. This gave America the confidence to do what it is doing now. Gaza was a testing ground.
Now, that empire asks you to bend the knee and remove the illusion of self sovereignty.
Korean people, Vietnamese people, Iraqi people, etc. Might want to read some of the struggles against empire from their perspective. Because that's what is happening now. You can still think "that won't happen to us". Well, you might want to prepare for that.
Because "the 65%" of normal citizen in the US don't want any of this either but they are just as inactive as you are. Your resistance gives us in the US more power to resist as well. We need to realize that this not a fight between nations and leaders. But a fight against the people of the world. Our blind eye towards Gaza and other crimes has given the green light for it to be done to us.
We are not fighting against nations. We are fighting against the rulers of wealth. We are sitting in the fascist imperial core being subject to SS troops going door to door. You (in the rest of the west) will see material conditions decline as your politicians are pressured by their own wealthy ruling class to give in to the empires demands. You cannot let that happen. America needs to be choked. It needs to be sanctioned and boycott and if necessary fought against. Do not let your politicians give in; and you cannot afford to continue to be inactive.
Yeah exactly its a leapords ate my face situation, after decades of killing brown in the middle east, and korean/vietnamese and latin american populations, the europeans are now acting surprised that they are next, recently when trump leaked a text between him and macron and macron saying how they are “inline with syria and iran but need to talk about greenland”, we saw the attitude of the “leaders” in real time, they want to kill and murder brown people for resources and dominance but think the american empire and the orange man will spare their own people, well it seems its not working out now is it

In a way he's sort of like westboro baptist church in the states. Once universally despised now outdone by more crazy and sort of forgotten about
I’m from Topeka, home of Westboro. One year, the protested my high school band concert
You are so right. Even in my home town, they are a small nuisance compared Trump. Part of that has to do with the patriarch of the cult dying in 2014, but part of it is absolutely because Trump is crazier and more nonsensical than they are. And that’s saying something.
Hello, neighbor to the south. I remember Kevin Smith managed to get one of Shirley's daughters out of the cult and I think the other daughter left as well

Seriously though, the way everyone is now telling Trump what a great leader he is and praising his every action is very much like such a charicature of a leader of a totalitarian regime. The charicature we used to make fun of leaders like Kim.
It's ominous to see this happen with "the leader of the free world".
Genuinely can’t tell if that’s real or an edit lmao
You can’t tell if Trump is dropping in on a bowl in the DMZ on the Korean border? Lmao I love that.

Gods damn I’d pay good money to see him give it a go
Best buds🤗
They are awfully close, though. Both in scale of insanity and in affection for each other.
ITT: western chauvanism
Meaningless buzzword
Too true to be funny ;)
Trump is jealous that he still has to poop, unlike Glorious Leader Kim Jong.
daaaaamn.... that's true his crazy is actually kinda measured and controlled in a way, unlike trump, who's just an off the rails maniac
he was never as crazy as putin, or trump. Kim held on a leash by CHINA, XI.
Putin was and is not crazy, do not make this mistake. Vile, murderous, clinging to power, corrupt, immoral - all yes. Bit he is very rational in his own way. So is Kim, I think, but I do lack info here.
Trump, on the other hand, does look properly crazy now. And that is my last hope for this world, that he finally shows it in a clinical way and americans wake up before this is all over for us.

Give him the same wealth and military power as Trump has, then he will end the world...
