America The Unreliable Ally
The US is the laughing stock of the international world. In a new low, the fools appointed by Trump and the GOP to his cabinet are messaging war plans on unsecured apps and accidentally including the editor of The Atlantic magazine in their group chat. Incompetent does not do justice to this it is totally stupid. Meanwhile, this flow of information, which would in normal times be top secret and highly classified is likely being spied upon by foreign intelligence services like Russia and China. Indeed, one of the members of the group chat was in Moscow at the time. America the unreliable ally continues to be a major embarrassment.
Stupid Americans Running The Show
Stupid Americans voted for Trump and he appointed a bunch of really stupid individuals to his cabinet. These right wing media darlings are so dumb it is mind boggling. These folk are more concerned with not being busted by their fellow Americans, not aligned with their whacky dismantling of the government than they are at being manipulated and played by Russian agents and other foreign intelligence operatives. The Trump regime is a chaotic, slipshod and largely illegal body of whack jobs. This US is fast becoming a huge embarrassment. America the unreliable ally is not a nation responsible governments could share intelligence with.
American National Security A Laughing Stock
In the words of a Late Show comic presenter, “dumb is outpacing evil in this race to the bottom.” Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, like a child caught out doing something naughty lashed out in denial and blamed the reporter they stupidly included in their illegal group chat. The calibre of these Trump appointees is zilch and in some ways I feel sorry for them being put in positions they are totally ill equipped to cope with. These people are not experts they are tawdry right wing media personalities. They have not passed proper security checks and their behaviour already is letting the nation down bigtime. This would be funny if they weren’t responsible for the national security of America.
Trump’s Ship Of Fools
Historians always ask how empires and civilisations crumble. Look no further than Trump’s ship of fools for the answer to this one. Stupid people elected a stupid President and he appointed a really stupid cabinet. America the unreliable ally is already at the deep end and none of these folk can swim. Imagine being so dumb that you share classified war plans on an unsecured app and don’t even notice that a reporter is included in the group chat list. Security chiefs around the globe and in NATO especially will be reevaluating their plans when it comes to Trump’s America.
“It was shocking that their incompetence was so fortuitous – that the person they included, seemingly accidentally, in their unsecured group chat about war plans was someone so uniquely equipped to broadcast their idiocy to a large audience. But it was in no way surprising that members of the Trump administration are behaving with such recklessness, shortsightedness, indifference to responsibility or peevish sadism. Of course they’re planning overseas bombings in a group chat, I thought when I first read Goldberg’s account. Because we live in an age where the people with the superlative power are those who are least temperamentally suited for it; because the stupidity of this White House outpaces any attempt at parody; and because these guys are exactly as dumb in real life as they look on television.”
Signal Is That Dumb Is In The House
Dumb and evil go hand in hand at the White House under Donald Trump. Could the former be some sort of saving grace, as far as the world is concerned? Responsible democratic nations around the world, former allies of the United States, will have to immunise themselves until this farce is over. Stupid Americans taking over the place is a recipe for disaster. The lies that these folk spout is a disgrace – their kids must be so ashamed. I predict that these people are going to meet a bad end. Stupid is as stupid does.
