Yes it’s a despicable regime, but wiping out a “whole civilization” implies all of the innocent people who have done nothing other than having had the misfortune of being born there.

Europeans already see the USA as no longer a trustworthy partner. Greenland, abandoning NATO, undermining Ukraine will do that.

Asians no longer see the USA as a viable alternative to China.

Canada and others talk about alliances between Middle Powers as the future.

The damage to America’s international reputation is devastating.

I think we should troll a bit whenever we meet magas with jokes such as "I wish to disembowel trump", "nuke Mar a'lago" and so on I am sure they will take it in the good humor its intended to be.

Is this not too much? HN or not, does this not demand the attention of everyone?

Absolutely. I posted it a while ago but - predictably - it got flagged.

The interesting thing is that people do seem to find it.

It's almost like 'shadow-banned'

it's not listed as flagged or dead, but it's also not on the first 4 pages despite https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/trump-warns-a-whole-civil... being on the 4th page with only 23 points

It was on page #11 last I checked, past 330.
