How Americans could have chosen this?

Harris laughes weird. We dodged a huge bullet here, imagine if we had her as president. We'd be stuck with economic and political stability.

This basic lack of at least 5 minutes of stability / reliability / logic of this US administration which was the core of world balance lets say can make many people laugh weird. Looks like flight over the cuckoo's nest in real life in governing the world superpower nr1. Ain't funny at all to be true.

Trump isn`t an Russian agent in my opinion - he is an old fool and a narcissist. Musk could be an agent. However, Trump in his first term was surrounded by more centrist people, e.g. Pence and that is why he was better. Now the entire Trump administration is radicals, like him or even greater. There is a problem.

Biden could have become president in 2008 when Obama won. He was still a good age then. In 2020 unfortunately he was too old, so they had to replace him with Harris. I hope that in 2028 Dem will finally find a good candidate from the younger generation, because Trump will promote Vance.

I think Ankara is the answer.

In the sense of a USA ally that came out well from this? Perhaps. You could also add Israel.

Certainly the whole region is already looking for solutions. Romania is also doing their job with Georgescu etc from what i heard. I have no idea what is going through the heads of those close to Trump and white house but it is looking insane already after two months. Never seen sth like this. Looks like alternate reality but it isn't.

Trump probably wants to swing Russia to help USA with the trade war against China. Nothing else makes much sense. It's all down to business. China is basically the world's second biggest economy and still on the way up. There were some economical forecasts when and if China can actually become the biggest economy in the world. Outside of Japan there probably isn't another single country that could have joined forces with USA in this plan and I'm rather convinced Japan doesn't want to alienate China in such open fashion so it only leaves Russia as a viable player.

Why should Russia now be getting closer to the US, when they have always been closer to China for many reasons, including historical ones? This is so ridiculous that it is impossible that someone could seriously think something like this. It will happen that the USA will alienate many countries that are friendly to it but Russia will choose China, not the USA This is the 5D chess of Trump and Musk, between subsequent alcohol and drugs libation in the White House

Soviet Union & China were at odds since Stalin refused to give nuclear weapons to Mao and worsened after Khruschev denounced Stalin alltogether. Yes, these countries have the same goal but chose a different path to reach it. And currently China's methods are proving more successful.

 

There's no real 5D chess with Trump, he usually means what he says. It's just most politicians actually don't say what they mean and now everyone is trying to uncover layers to his words when in fact there's nothing to uncover. If Trump says China is #1 'enemy' then - from purely business perspective - this is how he views his priorities.
