I think Trumpism does not need to take away guns thanks to the correlation between Trumpism and gun ownership. Why would they disarm those who support them and carry out their wishes with a degree of plausible deniability, as in January 6th?

To my knowledge, intelligence gathering is one of the capabilities for which Ukraine and, indeed, all non-US members of NATO depend on the United States the most, and one which they can less readily ramp up than the production of military hardware and materiel. This latest move is, perhaps, an even bigger blow to a fair and durable peace than the recent suspension of US military aid.
I dislike this as much as everyone else, but… Would you give us a “/s” or some other indication of sarcasm? Some people assert what you wrote –or similar things– unironically.
Wie @alleycat@lemmy.world an anderer Stelle geschrieben hat, ist es mit der politischen Willensbildung auch nach der Bundestagswahl noch nicht vorbei; die Unionsfraktion und die SPD verhandeln gerade. Diesen Prozess können Ereignisse wie dieser Anschlag in Mannheim schon beeinflussen. Sie erhöhen zum Beispiel die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass die Unionsfraktion bestimmte Gesetzesentwürfe oder sonstige Entscheidungen mit Stimmen der AfD durchbekommt. Das würde die ohnehin schon bröckelige Brandmauer weiter schwächen oder gar zerbrechen. Doch selbst dann, wenn es zu keiner Zusammenarbeit kommen sollte, könnte allein die Möglichkeit einer solchen Zusammenarbeit die SPD unter Druck setzen, den Forderungen der Unionsfraktion nachzukommen. Ob und wie genau solche politischen Machtspiele Russland von Vorteil wären, ist eine andere Frage.
Tja was sagt das jetzt zu der Verschwörungstheorie mit den Wahlen?
Meinst Du die Theorie, dass die verschiedenen Anschläge, die kurz vor der Bundestagswahl stattfanden, von Russland angestiftet worden seien, um die Gesellschaft zu spalten und der AfD zu einer stärkeren Position zu verhelfen, oder eine andere Theorie?
Fair enough. I couldn’t tell from your original comment.
We have also never been imperial powers
Italy did maintain colonies in parts of what today are Libya, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia, among other places, albeit the Italian imperial project was comparatively short in both time and space.
Trudeau did adopt some of Trump’s lingo when addressing him –by his forename, as you point out–, using “big” several times and referring to some treaty they negotiated as a “deal”. He also slowed down, as if talking to someone with impaired understanding. Finally, Trudeau delivered this gem:

It was brilliant; out in plain sight for anyone with mild linguistic skills yet too subtle for the Trump base to grasp any of it.
