I mean, he's not wrong. Just that the US has a rather different idea about what "diplomacy" means.

The slight issue is that you Brits aren't the only ones who want to see them. They seem to have a rather packed schedule this summer all around the world.

I do not fully endorse this article, but I believe it is a rather good read - on the NATO escalation of the Ukraine war: https://antiimperialistnews.substack.com/p/biden-crosses-red-line-he-previously
"The media are going to tell you this latest escalation is a roaring success, gloating every time Ukraine hits a Russian target. They are going to tell you that Ukraine was struggling because it was not allowed to attack Russian soil. This argument will be used as justification to strike further into Russian territory with bigger weapons, all because our leaders, who overthrow democratically-elected leaders across the world, suddenly care about democracy."
"So let me get this straight: it’s completely unreasonable for Putin to have concerns about NATO putting missile bases on Russia’s doorstep, but we must start World War III to stop Russia being on NATO’s doorstep? It seems to me the people who were outraged about Ukraine being called a buffer zone are upset that Ukraine is no longer a buffer zone."

"While the administration of US President Joe Biden has repeatedly urged Israel to avoid a war with Hezbollah in Lebanon, it has recently stated that, in the event of such a move, Israel would receive full US support."

The US: "Pwease don't start a war, that would be baaad! (but you get candy if you do start one)" 🤡
And, btw, those weapons and bombs that Israel uses to kill both civilians and enemies that they'd made themselves - you know them, yeah? You're paying for them instead of spending that money on food, a house, social services, etc. Congrats.

The DM issue: https://hackers.town/@thegibson/112604686056555130
They seem to have tagged a 3rd person - mastodon.social user, and somehow that message got leaked, although that is unlikely to be Maven's fault I guess.

I did see through this thread some mentions of DMs leaking, although I have not looked more into it, I'm not sure what that's about.
If it's only public posts, then it makes sense.

Any thoughts about this?

I said it before as a half-joke, but I'm starting to believe it more and more: as someone outside of the US, I really wouldn't mind Trump winning the election. It would drive the country into absolute shit and result in a mandatory change afterwards, like we've seen other cases before. Not a pretty process, far from it. I wouldn't vote for Trump if I lived there, not in a million years (watch my opinion change in the next 2 months). But you (in general) seem unable to push a change without the radicals, and there aren't other radicals in the US than the ones that support Trump.
I'm not saying "Trump must win.". I'm saying "Trump is the only hope if you don't do something soon, so do something for fucks sake.".
