@HistoPol important role, ultimately the military cannot be everywhere. And it is precisely this crucial currency that the United States is currently losing.

@HistoPol this to assert itself against China in the long term. But if America turns even its own allies into enemies, how can it expect to be supported against China, for example? Or take the Strait of Hormuz. In Iraq or Afghanistan, many allies still went along with it. In the Iran conflict, however, no one wants to get involved anymore, even though many countries are extremely dependent on that oil and that shipping lane.

@HistoPol Now Trump has even cut South Korea loose. If you can’t rely on a friend or partner, you naturally look for new partners. And that’s extremely dangerous for the U.S.: Let’s imagine if the Europeans were to take a hard line like Canada’s in the tariff dispute. I think they’d end up looking pretty foolish. What’s probably preventing that is still our dependence on LNG or technologies like AI. Do you understand now why

@HistoPol Trump and his allies are so strongly opposed to renewable energy or are trying to drive a wedge between the EU?

Trump directly and indirectly supports right-wing parties in Europe that would love to abolish the EU. If you look at the facts, the U.S. is now our enemy and no longer our friend. I find this extremely sad, because I also worked in the U.S. for some time and made friends there.

@HistoPol But the Americans have elected someone who is destroying what has been built up over the last 100 years. And at least 30% still don’t realize it.

I don't know how trust could be rebuilt either. I think it will take a very long time. Trump hasn't made the U.S. stronger—he's made it weaker.

@HistoPol I don’t even want to get started on the cuts to USAID. It’s totally stupid—sure, it cost money, but development aid has never been provided for humanitarian or altruistic reasons. Not even in other countries. It’s specifically because it creates dependencies and builds trust, which in turn leads to the establishment of economic ties, and so on.

He really is the dumbest U.S. president of all time. And we don’t exactly have any bright lights in our leadership here either.

@HistoPol Every world empire is also based on legitimacy and narrative (belief and trust). For example, citizens of the Roman Empire trusted that the legal system would ensure protection and order (Pax Romana). Trust can also relate to currency or religious and ideological concepts. This can also be applied to the United States or other world empires. While military power and influence certainly play an

@HistoPol war, the U.S. wasn’t perceived as an occupying power—rather, as a force that brought great music, great movies, and freedom to a Europe that had become stagnant. That indirectly solidified its power. Today, however, the U.S. is making enemies of everyone, even its allies. Just look at the situation with Greenland or Canada, or how the U.S. is acting in South America under Trump. There seems to be a grand plan behind

@HistoPol
There is not only an economic crisis of confidence, but also a cultural one. The U.S. has always stood for freedom and the belief that anyone can succeed if they just work hard enough. People from all cultures were welcome as long as they were committed to the U.S. and work hard. I believe that’s a key factor in its power. The U.S. has military bases all over the world, including here in Germany. In Germany, of course, this is partly due to Nazi Germany’s defeat, but after the

@noahm @fsinn The worst thing is that these people actually believe we just exploited them, when in fact it had enormous advantages for the US. Perhaps not primarily in monetary terms, but on other levels, in that the US's leadership role in all areas was accepted. Through their role, they had a lasting impact on the last century. But that is probably over now, through their own fault.

@noahm @fsinn Now they are threatening us with pressure and fear, but that has never worked in the history of mankind, unfortunately. We can now watch the downfall of an empire live. It will be a slow and agonizing death.

Let's see who will fill the gap, probably China.

@krono @thomasfuchs By the way, Robert Tinney, the designer of this logo and cover for Byte magazine, sadly passed away at the age of 78 (on February 1).

So etwas postet #Trump, was für ein kranker Geist und primitiver Mensch. Scheißt quasi auf das „eigene“ Volk.

@dansup 👍 Oh, thank you. I never noticed that menu item. I wouldn't have associated deleting or edit with Share.

I didn't even know you could edit a post 😂 Maybe that's because I hadn't shared anything yet.

@dansup Can you add a feature that allows users (me) to delete videos that were uploaded by mistake (I use iOS)?

Heute hätte es für mich beinahe ein neues #Ghostbike gebraucht (für mich persönlich) – es war wirklich haarscharf.
Darum möchte ich die Gefahrenstelle melden: Kreuzung Ausschläger Billdeich / Großmannstraße, Rothenburgsort/Hamm-Süd.

Leider habe ich beim Amt Hamburg-Mitte bislang keinen passenden Ansprechpartner gefunden.
e-mail ging jetzt an bezirksamt@hamburg-mitte.hamburg.de

@zooropa @SaanichGuy @bitboxer @fenkt @MrLaCave Isn't Meloni now also a fascist or at least extremely right-wing?

@holger Sonnenfusion nennen einige auch Fernfusion 😂
