L’amministrazione Trump pesa la chiusura di quasi una dozzina di missioni diplomatiche all’estero. Tra cui Turchia, Germania e Francia

Unnecessary self sabotage of this administration is actually shocking.
It’s shocking how the Trump administration seems to be pushing the limits with its allies. I hope the EU will finally accept Turkey, given the way the U.S. is acting. Turkey’s accession to the European Union is now more critical than ever for the safety of the entire European continent.
Well, they are ~~diplomatic~~ consular missions. So yeah… makes sense.
Thanks for pushing Turkey closer to Europe. We have a common enemy, despite our differences.
God, I hope he closes in Italy too. I want to see Meloni tryimg again to defend him while Salvini cheers him on
Democrats: That calls for immediate paddle waving! Hand me my pink jacket!
Ermmm… Why?? Nvm, I don’t care
Wake up world 1937 is banging your fucking door down again.
The daily Trump ragebait. He is just making up new shit to distract from yesterday’s shit. Flooding the zone.
Contrary to what most commenters are assuming (without reading the article) they aren’t shutting down their embassies and thus practically ending official diplomatic relations, they are closing smaller subsidiary consulates that operate as satellites to the embassies to provide consular services like visa applications etc. It’s another silly Musk cost saving measure.
Diplomatic missions aren’t much use when you no longer practice diplomacy.
Is this the Project 2025 thing?
And to never come back. I don’t want to even listen the next president trying to repair relationship with Europe.
Diplomats are annoying. They have values, are intelligent, can call the bluff out of the fat fuck’s sorry excuse for a foreign policy, and know how lethal for world security and human advancement Putin’s mafia, kleptocratic regime is.
So, better cut their jobs, humiliate them, threaten them so that they have to quit, and be replaced by sycophants who will do nothing but acquiesce to their master’s voice. As they should. As they do in despotic states.
So as usual with DOGE fuckery, this is never about public finances, this is about ideological crusade.
If they elect a new president every four years and that person spends all their time upending the previous administration’s policies, how can any country develop a lasting trust-based diplomatic or economic relationship with them?
If this was a company that changed CEO every four years and undid all their product lines and contracts no one would do business with them.
The Dems are looking like controlled opposition at the minute. They are doing nothing, no protests, no outrage. They are just sitting by letting Trump and his ilk destroy your country.
God.
So.. is Trump a Russian asset or does he want United States to crash and burn
So Russia and the USA plan to share their diplomatic missions now?
I hope he follows through.
Tschüssne 👋
Russian asset gonna Russia.
US has one most important military based in Turkey, İncirlik. I wonder if they will withdraw from there. If so this would be a huge shift.
Even North Korea has an embassy in Berlin.
To try to figure out what he’s doing and why is pointless if one doesnt have the full insight. There are four main alternatives that all seems resonable and one the four is that he’s just insane. Could be a mixture between some of the four alternatives and it’s only very human to try to predict. It’s useless however and all will go with their own narratives to try to make sense of this. But it’s no point to try. We do not have the full insight of this. Problably only a handfull of people have that.
I had read from politico and other sources that the US is indeed considering shutting down missions in a set of countries including Italy, Germany, and France. This is the first time I’m reading about a mission getting shut down in Turkey. The article mentions a “branch” in Gaziantep. Gaziantep doesn’t have a US consulate. Maybe it’s an extension office? It sounds kinda small to be alarming.
I’m curious what he and putler is cooking?!
These are consulates, not embassies. There aren’t a ton of americans in europe to need them.
The ROI that the Krasnov brought to Putin is astronomical! It might be the single best investment in modern history.
Terrible for literally everyone else, though.
Trump is like new Erdogan (in self damaging acts).
Jesus christ…100 years, 10 administrations and presidents of work, and 2 world wars of alliances wiped out in a few months.
At which point will this continuous self-sabotage become high treason?
I’m noticing a pattern with Trump’s decisions. If the country’s government is far right and aligned with Trump, then they get left alone or maybe even some benefits down the line. If the country is too democratic and doesn’t kiss Trump’s ass, then his USA doesn’t want anything to do with it and here’s some tariffs as a bonus.
Again doing exactly what a self-sabotaging compromised asset would do.
