(11,863 posts)I fear the consequences to groups that oppose MAGA. I fear the consequences to blue cities. The 47 regime will invade and use the levers of Federal government in whatever way they are allowed to get away with in their effort to bring the non-MAGA world to heel. And we ARE resisting. They are advancing. But they are also losing on a number of fronts.
Yes, things on the domestic front are unfolding at breakneck speed.
But as Rachel's show tonight pointed out. There is also trouble brewing that has global consequences.
Russia is on the move.
Last week Putin sent drones into Poland to menace our NATO ally.
47 regime does nothing. ("Maybe it was a mistake" )
This weekend they sent drones into Romania to menace them.
Again, no response from the 47 regime.
Today, another Russian drone was intercepted over capital buildings in Warsaw.
Russia and Belarus just started military exercises over the border from Poland in Belarus.
47's response? Lifting sanctions on Belarus's national airline, announcing we may be reopening our Embassy in Belarus, and sending U.S military observers to watch the exercises, as if these guys are our allies.
I don't think we are yet on the brink of WWWIII, but we are heading there. And perhaps the most terrifying part is at this point, if war breaks out, I have no idea what the regime will do. Sit it out or try to figure a way to get in it as an ally of Russia.
If the latter happens, I really do think that would be the straw the wakes people the F up.
But what do I know.
All I know is that 47 is on the march here, as are all authoritarians, and is destabilizing the global order.
