Sir Rols Posted February 18 Report Posted February 18 Honestly, it’s getting overwhelming and numbing to wake up each day to the latest outrage these cvnts have cooked up… which is exactly what they want Quote
Rob2012 Posted February 18 Author Report Posted February 18 (edited) The man America elected tonight saying Ukraine is to blame for the war.

Like every 4 years, I will be following the German elections closely. I am a deeply left-wing man, but for the first time, I will hope that the German "left" (by which I mean = the SPD) loses. We will see if Merz is more courageous than the Ukrainian question than the cowardice of Scholz. A credible European response can only be built with Germany in it, and Scholz does not want it. (We must also welcome Starmer's initiative; even France had not gone that far. It is a small consolation to see that ultimately, despite all the differences, despite Brexit, we can always count on the United Kingdom when Europe is in danger, even if kyiv is still a little far from London) 1 Quote
Nacre Posted February 19 Report Posted February 19 I am banning myself from social media for a while (time to start a vegetable garden as we head into what will likely be another global economic depression), and thus won't follow the continuing minutiae of this thread. I just want to say on behalf of all the Americans who voted against this insanity that I am sorry for all of this. If the USA still exists as a functioning republic with checks and balances on the executive branch in 2028, then I will be happy regardless of what the IOC decides to do about LA 2028. 1 1 Quote

He and his party have proven to be willing to align with pro-Putinists AfD and BSW domestically if it helps them winning votes or forming state governments. He’s also completely underestimating Trump and ruining his party’s pro-European legacy by making ridiculous migration proposals. I know many people hate the Greens and blame them on the declining economy (which is mostly still the consequence of many years of Russian gas-dependeny and doing nothing in terms of real innovation, all under Merkel’s watch), but they are the only party that has been unequivocal in their support for Ukraine since even before 2022 (Habeck even pointef out in 2015/16 that the new gas pipeline in the Baltic would only strengthen Russia). They’re not going to win the election though and SPD blew it when they didn’t nominate hugely popular Defence Minister Pistorius as Chancellor. Don’t expect much from us anytime soon - Putin’s work here is almost done… Quote

My feeling is it's much more mundane; a combination of him/his businesses owing Russia $$$ and a simple alignment of world views between two fascists - a dictator and a wannabe dictator.

I want to believe there's something there. Because if not, the only other explanation is that Trump just really likes dictators, so he's trying to warm up to one. The irony here at least in the context of the Olympics is that the longer the conflict in Ukraine goes on, the less likely it is that Russia would be allowed back into the good graces of that IOC before 2028. And I'm sure Trump will have a thing or 2 to say about that. For which the IOC will likely tell him to piss off, especially if it's Seb Coe they're dealing with since I have to imagine he'll feel the same way about Trump as the British media does right now Quote
Ikarus360 Posted February 20 Report Posted February 20 Nothing of this should surprise anyone, unfortunately. We knew for many years about the orange man russophilia and his closest friends views about the war. Welcome to Molotov Ribbentrop pact 2.0. 🙃 1 Quote

Sir Rols Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 (edited) This is so true. What I feel like every morning (whether or not I check the news or GamesBids first) Edited February 21 by Sir Rols Quote
sebastien1214 Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 3 minutes ago, Sir Rols said: This is so true. What I feel like every morning (whether or not I check the news or GamesBids first) This is a strategy theorized by Steve Bannon in 2015-2016: saturate the media space by releasing dozens of barrels of **** per day. The media and public opinion do not have time to get indignant about a barrel of **** before they take dozens more the next day, it has a steamroller effect and gives the adversary a feeling of helplessness. It is purely voluntary. And it is probably still to subscribe to this same strategy that Bannon said to himself "barrel of **** of the day: I will do a Nazi salute" Quote
