BREAKING: Poland Tells Trump To Get Stuffed As Denmark And The EU Begin To Go "Full Canada"
Trump’s ambassadors (operatives) are revealing who they really work for— from Canada to Poland to Denmark, and the free world has finally stopped giving a f***
Dean Blundell
Feb 06, 2026

Let’s start with some truth: The Trump Regime is part of an international criminal syndicate that has taken over the US government. Trump’s “Ambassadors” are not diplomats, they’re MAGA operatives incentivized to destabilize the countries they are currently “serving in.”
snip

A letter circulated between governments. Not a congratulatory note. Not a diplomatic inquiry. A demand. Donald Trump, alongside Benjamin Netanyahu, wanted something he could never earn: a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.

snip

Poland refused and and Polish Speaker, Sejm Czarzasty, read the letter in a press conference then told Trump and his Regime to go f*** themselves, calling them criminals undeserving of being in the same room as a Nobel Peace Prize:

What followed wasn’t surprise or embarrassment—it was escalation. The message came back through the U.S. ambassador, carrying the implication that refusing to accept Trump comes with consequences that US Ambassador (Operative) to Poland, Tom Rose said would not go unpunished.

Nothing legitimate about the whole operation.

We are hostages.

I wish the international community could figure out how to help us. ICC? Somebody?

Meanwhile - I resist.

WE THE PEOPLE!

P.S. We appreciate the international support from Denmark and Canada and others. Keep it up. The voice of resistance works.

Wording. In the Constitution treason is only claimed during war time. We are not in a declared by Congress war currently so you can't use that charge by that name.

Fri Feb 6, 2026, 05:08 PM

... of treason is extremely narrow, and not necessarily the universally accepted definition. For all practical purposes, Trump is a traitor. It's worth noting that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for less than what Trump has already done to deliberately inflict harm on America, and we weren't at declared war with the USSR then, either.
Trump's treachery is motivated by infantile selfishness; he has stated publicly that he wants to hurt anyone and everyone who didn't vote for him. I think his crimes are worse by several orders of magnitude, and that those who continue to support a traitor ARE traitors, and that includes every lying sack of shit with an (R) after its name.
Germany banned the Nazi Party, and any and every reference to it. Given their obscenely malicious agenda, I would have no objection to imposing the same fate on the GOP. They have crossed a line that can never be uncrossed, or ever forgiven.
The Founding Fathers deplored the very thought of political parties. Those who wish to serve their fellow Americans, rather than fleece them, should run for office on their own individual merits, accomplishments, and qualifications, with publicly funded campaigns. Corporate interests should keep their fucking mouths, and their pocketbooks, shut. Their days of pulling political strings are over.

So aggression isn't under wartime conditions so it must be something else and cannot be, therefore, treason. There are other options, not a lawyer so don't want to wade too deep.

Entertainment purposes only!

and a lot of times you have to take him with a grain of salt. He tends to exaggerate circumstances a lot. As a Canadian, I no longer read him, we have too many real good writers and researchers. Just beware and use common sense when reading him.

I can run it with my earbuds and still get stuff done around the house.

Some good ones are:
Andrew Coyne with the Globe and Mail and he also is often on a youtube channel called Munk Dialogue. He is a old style conservative but is usually pretty perceptive.

David Frum with the Atlantic, also another Cdn conservative but also very perceptive.

Energi Media YouTube although they tend to be mostly financial and often about oil and gas or clean energy but political both Canada and world wide.

Bill Kelly's substack or YouTube

Claus Kellerman YouTube

My favourite is House of El Youtube - she is European and does Geopolitics and finance covering Europe, Canada and US and is awesome. She is someone that most Americans should be watching because she gives the truth about what is really going on with the US finance in a clear and concise way.

but for now let me just say..."Poor baby"... he's gonna have a fast comeuppance at some point this year. There are so many leaks and whistleblowers coming out of his administration now... he has no idea what waits him in the near future (nor does Eloon). This won't be a huge scandal that breaks everything open and apart all at once. This is the kind that starves a person for positive feedback and attention until they die, and then the institutions to which they belong crumble around them. We won't even have enough left to renovate; we'll have to tear each down and build what we want from scratch. MAGA - FAFO, for sure!

I must read actually because for those still confused about what's going on outside US borders this OP provides the evidence of Trump/Maga's devastating wrecking ball to what was once our supportive international friendships, the Western Alliance.

The far-right Christian Nationalists, Neo-Nazi klans have become a hideous, brutal and ego-driven machine balanced on the shoulders of the techno-billionaires who in their hubris are hell-bent in carving the world up, realigning alliances and fashioning the global community into their own greedy, perverted playground.

I am absolutely ashamed of what Trump and his jackals are doing here and plan to do to the rest of the world.

On the other hand, I'm inspired by the resistance here and around the globe. PM Carney has been leading the way setting an example on how to deal with Trump and his endless rants and spewings. Here in the US, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago and countless cities and towns across the country are in serious push-back mode.

That will continue until these creatures are defeated and driven out of our public and private spaces.

Here. Everywhere. And all at once.
