The USA is a gangster state that operates by extortion. Don't bend Europe, don't cave. Trump is insane.

We asked for health care. He attacked Venezuela We asked for peace He sent militarized goons to our streets. We asked for the epstein files. The only people safe in America are on the list. We asked that Greenland's sovereignty be honored. He attacks the world economy with tariffs and more military threats. Impeachment now!
