Yes I know the cliche saying of “every president is war criminal” blah blah blah. But last president atleast were attacked or provoked by recognized threat. Trump has -
- Tried to coup the US government over election results
- Sent ICE agents into cities to harass the public
- Defended ICE killing civilians by labeling victims as “domestic terrorist”
- Bombed Nigeria on Christmas 2025 (it’s unknown the casualty count), Nigeria did not attack us
- Illegally invaded Venezuela and kidnapped their leader and his wife, Venezuela did not attack us
- Is currently starving the country of Cuba with no food, electricity or aid, Cuba did not attack us
- Is spreading false information about White Genocide in South Africa
- Killed Iranian Generals in his first term after tearing up Obama’s Iran Peace Deal
- Bombed a school of little girls in Iran
- Started a war with Iran, killing their leader, Iran did not attack us
- Wants to occupy and takeover Greenland, Greenland did not attack us or ask for this
- Inplements unprofessional and nonsensical tariffs on the Global economy
And so much more. Why dosent social media, traditional media, reddit, lemmy, democrats, ANYBODY ever call this gu ya terrorist. No other president has caused this much global terror in the modern era.
We hold a seat on the security council which is essentially for the duration of the organization. It represents, or at least did, the largest, most influential countries in the world during much of the cold war. Russia’s kleptocracy has diminished its strength considerably and Ukraine is bogging them down so badly it’s ruin an already fragile economy.
France and the UK have diminished in scope now but the ratification in 1945 gave them the seats.
The USA is losing its softer powers which were usually economic control because we have the insane asylum patients at the wheel who understand geo-politics as well as a five year old quantum physics.
China is probably the only one whose gaining more power as others waver but that’s not to say they aren’t in some strained shape as well. China is second behind Japan for holding US Debt followed closely by the UK. The next country behind that is Luxembourg at roughly 40% of the UK. If the USA becomes heavily insolvent, which we’re heading because of run away austerity, those countries are not going to be in a good position for long.
With all that, they’re highly reluctant to consider the USA president a terrorist threat or more correctly a rogue national leader. It’d be a game of chicken where all parties would lose essentially.
They had their positions before the cold war started, as they are the “winners” of ww2 (despite Paris was occupied by the nazis).
True enough, ratified in 1945 but it wasn’t that long afterward that the Cold War started.
