May 27, 2026 | America continues to fail in Iran while Donald Trump retreats further from NATO. Steve Schmidt breaks down why Trump's mistakes are laying the foundation for the next global catastrophe.

Under Trump, America is a disaster! All empires eventually die. America’s empire is now in the process of dying. This is what happens when you elect into the highest office in the land a person who is totally and utterly unfit for that position — a corrupt jester! — © Mark Alexander

Paul Lance: Americans Love Money More Than Their Fellow Americans!

May 25, 2026 | Americans love to say “God Bless America” while worshipping money like it’s the real national religion. The last election exposed something ugly about this country: millions of people will tolerate cruelty, racism, concentration camps, families losing healthcare, farms collapsing, and endless suffering — as long as their taxes stay low and their stock portfolio looks okay.

We watched people get racially profiled. We watched immigrants dehumanized. We watched bombs hit schools in Iran. We watched Americans lose healthcare while corporations made record profits. And most people shrugged because sacrifice might hurt their personal comfort.

This country constantly talks about “freedom” and “Christian values,” but where is the humanity? Where is the empathy? Americans say “In God We Trust,” but the truth is it’s “In Money We Trust.” Profit has become more sacred than human life.

Both political parties helped create this culture of greed and individualism, but MAGA took it to another level by turning selfishness into patriotism. “Are YOU better off?” became more important than “Are WE better off?” That mindset is rotting this country from the inside out.

Until Americans care more about human beings than money, this country will keep collapsing morally, spiritually, and economically.


I beg your forgiveness, but it must be said: In this day and age, America is the source of all evil. It seems that almost all bad ideas originate there.

Ich bitte Euch um Verzeihung, aber es muss gesagt werden: In der heutigen Zeit ist Amerika ist die Quelle allen Übels. Scheinbar kommen fast alle schlechten Ideen von dort.

Je vous prie de m'excuser, mais il faut le dire : de nos jours, l'Amérique est la source de tous les maux. Il semble que la quasi-totalité des mauvaises idées y prennent naissance. — © Mark Alexander

American Greatness Is a Lie We’ve Been Told Since Birth - Nationalist Propaganda!

May 15, 2026 | My trip to Europe made something painfully clear: America is not the “greatest country on Earth.”

That phrase is not patriotism — it’s nationalism. It’s a lie we are taught through flags, bald eagles, patriotic songs, military worship, gun culture, and the constant demand that we treat America like it is above criticism.

But loving your country does not mean worshipping it. Patriotism means wanting your country to be better. Nationalism means pretending it already is. When you look at what America actually leads the world in, the truth is ugly: gun violence, mass incarceration, military spending, and white supremacy.

Meanwhile, many European countries have universal healthcare, minimal gun violence, affordable or free college, stronger worker protections, and a better quality of life.

America has convinced people that freedom means struggling to afford healthcare, working yourself to death, fearing gun violence, and calling it liberty.

We traded quality of life for capitalism — and then called it greatness.

This video is not anti-American. It is anti-lie. If we actually love this country, we need to stop worshipping symbols and start fighting for the people.

America Is in Rupture under Trump | Anne Applebaum & Preet Bharara

Feb 5, 2026 | What do the ICE operations in Minneapolis reveal about a broader shift in the exercise of state power? Pulitzer Prize–winning historian, The Atlantic staff writer, and "Autocracy in America" podcast host Anne Applebaum joins Preet Bharara on Stay Tuned with Preet to discuss why Minneapolis has galvanized people in a way few events have in the Trump era, and why our closest allies now say the word for this moment is “rupture.”

The conversation begins with a discussion about the Trump administration's complete disregard for the rule of law and its implications for America. Next, they discuss the ICE crackdown in Minnesota and the administration's lies after the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The conversation also turns to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s recent speech at Davos, where he warned that the world was witnessing not a transition but a “rupture”—and Applebaum shares why she agrees with that view and what "rupture" really means.

Why America Is 'In Deep Trouble' - Ex US Foreign Policy Adviser

Jan 30, 2026 | But Robert Kagan, who has advised successive administrations in the White House on foreign policy, says “middle powers” like European states and the UK must make “hard choices” in order to “survive as independent sovereign states in a world dominated by predatory empires”.

Nathalie Tocci, Professor of Practice at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, Europe, and a senior fellow at Bocconi University’s Institute for European Policymaking, says Trump’s threats over Greenland and the way he “backed down” int he face of Europe’s threats should be a “watershed moment”.

Jan 22, 2026 | “The Belgian prime minister… was saying ‘we don’t want to live like slaves.’”

The deeper realisation following the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos and Donald Trump’s Greenland manoeuvring is that the US President marks a turning point in Europe’s ability to trust America, says Sunday Times columnist Mark Urban.

‘Make America Go Away’: Spoof Maga Caps Soar in Popularity amid Greenland Crisis

THE GUARDIAN: Red caps are becoming a symbol of protest in Denmark as Donald Trump ratchets up the pressure on Greenland

Red baseball caps spoofing Donald Trump’s Maga hats have become a symbol of Danish and Greenlandic defiance against the US president’s threat to seize the frozen territory.

The caps reading “Make America Go Away” – parodying Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan – have gained popularity, along with several variants on social media and at public protests, including a weekend demonstration held in freezing weather in Copenhagen.

European governments are rallying behind Denmark and Greenland, citing the need to defend Arctic regions and warning that Trump’s threats against Greenland undermine western security. » | Associated Press | Tuesday, January 20, 2026

Canada and Denmark's Shocking Greenland Deal Leaves US Reeling

Donald Trump’s Trump Greenland Threats have detonated a diplomatic crisis inside NATO—and Canada just drew a bright red line in Paris. In this video, we break down how Trump Greenland Threats to take Greenland “by force” triggered a unified European response, pushed Denmark to warn NATO itself could collapse, and prompted Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney to publicly side with Denmark—then back it up with a concrete move: a Canadian consulate in Nuuk, Greenland.

You’ll hear why Carney’s language mattered, how NATO allies coordinated their message that Greenland’s future belongs to Greenlanders and Denmark alone, and why this moment could reshape Arctic security cooperation for years. We also explain the strategic stakes—from Pituffik (Thule) Space Force Base to Arctic shipping lanes and critical minerals—and why Trump Greenland Threats may be doing Russia and China a massive favor.

If you care about NATO, Arctic geopolitics, and how presidential rhetoric can fracture alliances, this is the story you can’t ignore.

Of course Greenlanders do not want to be part of America. Nobody in his right mind would. To start with, on a practical level, if Greenland became part of the USA, the Greenlanders would lose their superior free healthcare.
