I disagree 100% with Snyder on Ukraine, but he's right about this.

Tim Snyder: The term that I came up with… is superpower suicide. I just can’t see an example of a major country losing so much power so quickly as the United States under Trump.

Trump trying to discourage Ukraine and disparage NATO is part of him losing trust with allies.

---

In the case of Europe, stopping the uncontrolled bleeding of European capital and Ukrainian soldiers is very much in the best interest of Europeans.

---

The European leaders don't agree.

---

Part of the reason they're polling in the 10%-25% approval range. Those are the lowest recorded approval rates for the heads of state of France, Germany.

---

There are much bigger reasons for those low approval numbers and Movie has hit on it repeatedly for months.

---

• Economic Strain:

• Fiscal and Budgetary Crises: France faces intense pressure over its massive national debt and widening budget deficits, while Germany struggles with weak industrial output, aging demographics, and underfunded public infrastructure. [1]
• Political Fragmentation: Voter dissatisfaction with establishment leaders has caused a sharp rise in support for populist and extremist parties on both the left and the right, leading to legislative gridlock and frequent government instability. [1, 2]

They ain't the only European leaders losing popularity

⚡️ More than half of Ukrainians say Zelensky should not run for president again, poll says.

The KIIS survey also revealed that 45% of Ukrainians believe their country's affairs are moving in the wrong direction, while 40% think the opposite.https://t.co/zyxXIVdqOY

— The Kyiv Independent (@KyivIndependent) October 5, 2026

---

Hey, is this the same polling company you claimed were propagandists when they showed that Ukrainians wanted to continue fighting the war? They're reliable now?

---

Those two polls seem rather incongruent, don't they? A smarter person than you would think about that.

---

No, they line up with exactly what I've been saying: Ukrainians could replace their leader, but the new one would likely continue fighting Russia. I'm not picking and choosing the polls to build my narrative about what Ukraine wants.

---

The economy and loss of purchasing power is the primary reason for discontent. Mass immigration is part of the economic strain, as is the funding of the Ukraine war to the tune of hundreds of billions.

Trump is denying medical treatment to troops injured in his Iran War. This is the President that won the veterans vote.

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/wounded-soldiers-accuse-pentagon-of-downplaying-their-injuries/ar-AA26wDz0

---

I don't see any info in the article indicating these two soldiers are being denied medical treatment.

---

Because it's not in there. It clearly says both are being treated. More nothing burgers.

---

Yes, I see that article doesn't reference what I said. I heard that in a podcast and I will follow up. Here is the originally sourced article from CBS, which says:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/wounded-soldiers-families-accuse-army-downplaying-war-injuries/

Quote:

---

The Bearmans are also among several survivors and their families who told CBS News they weren't being treated by the military as combat casualties for reasons they could not understand

---

I will try to get more information on what that means. The podcast said they were being denied certain evaluations.

---

Quote:

---

Chief Warrant Officer 4 Rodney Bearman, who had shrapnel embedded from his face to his legs, and some of the other soldiers who were briefly seen at Kuwaiti medical facilities were sent to the homes of U.S. government employees. Iran had unleashed missiles and drones that made it risky for evacuation flights.
Some 10 days after the attack, the soldiers were loaded onto a cargo plane. They sat on the floor with straps, including Bearman, who could barely eat or lie down.
When they arrived in Germany, Bearman said they learned they were not documented as wounded in combat and would not be hospitalized at Landstuhl. Instead, they were sent to the barracks, as Lincn had been, and told to get outpatient care. Bearman said they were documented that way due to a coding error.
"Never did I think that if I was wounded that these things would happen," said Bearman, who has served for over three decades, including in Afghanistan. "Some sacred trust that I thought would never be broken was broken."

The purpose of the star system is to show how people are sheep. See how many stars the person with the most stars gets for pumping up rubes every year with false hope and that will tell you what stars are worth.

Iran has struck 14 vessels in the last 8 days, and multiple vessels have now begun to abandon transits entirely in what can only be described as a loss of confidence in American protection.
