Spain has refused the 5% of GDP for US weapons, war on Russia, and refused port access for Gaza/Iran support fleet. Some mean words from Trump, but no action. No civil discontent over the policy. There's strong resistance to all budgets that attempt to accomodate austerity and military drafts for the new Napoleonic defeat. (France most clear example).
Not even denouncing Venezuela evil, similar to fake concern expressions over Gaza and Iran, is a new low in sycophancy and cowardice among the colonies. But, it wouldn't cause an act of war. The UK, the most sycophantic of all colonies who made the most submissive trade deal in Europe, got rewarded with Musk coming to speak ordering whites to overthrow parliament or all be killed by immigrants. More demands this week (buy chlorinated chicken) from white house. Sycophancy doesn't get rewarded.
While Trump makes fascist executive orders on his own, the colonies are all using regular democratic concensus for even worse laws against speech. All the while begging the US for more orders to follow from them.
Condemning US evil is not an act of war against them, nor likely to result in a declaration of war against the speaking nation. If you base your propaganda on a "rules based world order", mentioning that rules apply to your master too, once in a while, would make the propaganda/value system more credible.
And you trust Trump to not overreact?
I don't
Following along with a fascist is never a winning move. When you refuse to stand up for yourself you've already lost without them having to do a thing.
Aye, I agree, but I'm not a world leader
