Threatening genocide to reach a ceasefire is some extremist shit. How far was he prepared to take it if his demands weren't met?

Implying the use of nuclear weapons will now be viewed as a winning strategy to him.

It's Putin level politics.

The sense of shared achievement isn't there for me.

Edit: Trump said "The US can't be number 1 on Earth if they are number 2 in space."

Later when talking about the army he said they were looking forward to their next conquest.

Even if it's a big collaboration. I have trouble feeling good about it. It still feels like furthering US interests, which align less and less with mine

This situation reminds me too much of 'Wag the Dog'

Not sure how widespread this was but early on Linkedin used to spam your contacts with a message saying you were trying to add them on Linkedin.

I remember receiving tons of them and having to set Linkedin as spam.

Linkedin, for me, at least has always been sketchy. Like the Zynga of Social Media. Scam your way till you get lucky.

I've said this in the past, the earth is the only place with life we actually know of. We can speculate about life elsewhere but earth is the only confirmed source of life we should do everything to preserve life on earth and the natural forces that govern it.

But this ain't that. This lands, to me, more in the "we're staking a claim to the moon and these are the first steps in that process"

I hope I'm wrong but either way I can't get excited about this atm.

"Humiliated" "storms out" - this is some tabloidly language.

She stayed loyal to Trump and destroyed the evidence against him. She's set now.

I can't feel excited about this This feels like part of a new US expansionist agenda.

The AG who helped hide Trump's crimes has been dismissed right before she was to testify about those crimes and her own.
