Summary
The Trump administration plans to revoke temporary legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians who fled Russia’s war, fast-tracking them for deportation.
The move is part of a broader effort to strip protections from 1.8 million migrants admitted under Biden’s humanitarian parole programs.
Trump’s policies also target 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
Legal challenges are mounting, as affected individuals face uncertain futures. Advocates warn that even U.S. allies, such as Afghans who assisted the military, are now at risk of detention and deportation.
We are no longer in the nuclear age.
We are in the information age, post social media.
The reasons we don’t nuke each other into oblivion are no longer memories people hold. Most of them are now gone, and their memories with them.
Peace and how it’s maintained are just words on paper now. And these words now compete against billions of others on social media.
China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, etc all have entire buildings full of bad actors firehosing disinformation into every space built by a democratic nation to keep peace.
This disinformation has already, in less than 10 years, unquestionably destabilized the US. Who have not stopped embarrassing themselves on the world stage since. Trumps Covid policies killed millions of Americans, and disinformation got him reelected.
The massive loss of American life didn’t stop disinformation from convincing Americans that Trump wasn’t responsible for his own Covid response. Instead, they voted for him again, and now he’s placed a TV personality in charge of our military who is actively talking about leaving NATO and invading Greenland and Canada because he’s an idiot. But he’s in charge of our military, so that idiot is going to get whatever he wants.
And the people that voted for Trump honestly believe this is a good idea because of disinformation.
It’s just a matter of time before nukes are likewise a good idea because of disinformation.
Death and suffering no longer matter in the face of this level of disinformation. Just like it didn’t matter to Americans that millions of them died because they elected a reality TV personality into office. Despite this being an obvious fact, the majority of the US will now literally fight you for thinking it.
The security you think you have is an illusion from an age we no longer live in.
Russia and friends are spending billions of resources into firing the disinformation hose at everything democratic.
What do you think they’re hoping to gain from it?
The US has already fallen victim to it. Their military, which used to be the backbone of the UN and NATO can no longer be depended on. Europe’s military defenses will be crippled by nearly 70% if the US leaves NATO.
And thats what the US is actively talking about, encouraged by Russia. With the EU responding as if it’s a real threat by discussing a new government body that replaces NATO without the US.
The EU is acting like this is already the case.
You are being naive if you think all this disinformation is just for fun. It’s targeted. It’s in EVERY democratic election from the US to Canada, to France, to Germany, and it’s gaining traction.
The peace you described as normal has been decreasing exponentially across the world for the past decade for this VERY reason, and you want to think these countries are just doing it for fun?
