      Nah, most people in the US have no idea any of this is going on. For the vast majority of Americans, their daily lives have not been affected at all. None of my coworkers are talking about ICE. Personally I haven’t seen* a single ICE officer since Trump entered office. They only go after the “liberal” states. Purple and Red states are being left alone for the time being.

      I’m slowly starting to believe that a US started world war can only be prevented by a US started US civil war.

        Not only that, imploding could further inflame the world. If a collapsing us goes into Greenland, and the EU splits in half over whether to side with Denmark or the US (remember, Poland is totally dependant on US nuclear deterrent, they are not likely to abandon that). That will empower Putin to move in. That China will be unrestrained is not even questionable. Things will get hotter everywhere.

            Poland has PiS in the government for 8 years? 12? They don’t want Ukrainian refugees either and have a strong connection to the US due to their Christianity and thus their “values”. Tusk has had trouble getting laws through because the PiS president keeps vetoing them.

            Poland hates Russia with a burning passion. If push comes to shove this year, the EU won’t be able to defend them from Russia. The majority of the union didn’t take The Pooteen threat seriously and hasn’t scaled up to a pre-war economy. The US will always be ready. The decision, IMO, is quite clear. Poland wouldn’t fight the US.
