Why even educate them at all? Does it even matter at this point?
Isn't it cheaper for the Russian government if the men remain "missing"? I think they don't need to pay up then? Or am I too cynical?
Exactly. We all know what Putin's word is worth.
Almost all European nations have a political party that is closely connected to the Kremlin, although obviously they deny it. Unfortunately they can be quite popular as their selling points are populistic and simplistic.
I wonder if they can even sell that to their own fanbase.
I always wonder if Putin put those ideas in Trump's head?
Europe tricked Putin into invading Ukraine, so Europe could fight a proxy war with Russia? Why the hell would they do that? Anyway: Europe wants Russia to pull out of Ukraine completely and make sure they never return. AND wants Russia to butt out of European politics.
If you are brown AND a woman, you will definitely be targeted.
Exactly. Trump would make money AND do Putin's bidding.
Don't do this. Keep Trump's US out of Ukraine. Peace keeping should be done by Europe.
What a tremendous coincidence that 30 people from the same entertainment channel happen to be the most suitable people to run the country.
"Special military operation" is what most people call an invasion. The ones that "want war" are the ones that just don't want to surrender to a morales dictator. You can spin it all you want.
Great if other people decide about your home and life. And your death would be the best outcome to them.
I notice much of such opportunistic switching in this administration.
This movement indeed resembles a vicious cancer. All over the world, the rats come out in the open now. I just hope there's enough left to fight them. If not, I fear we will get stuck with this for at least a generation, but likely more. The death of freedom, justice and science.
I think it's the people around Trump that guide him to follow Hitler's playbook. Trump just doesn't have the mental capacity. He only got where he is now as people like Putin and the project 2025 people could use him as he had this cult of personality. Elon used Trump to hinder his opponents.
Trump did prepare a warmer welcome for Putin, waiting for him on the red carpet like a puppy wagging his tale.
Ok. I propose a land swap: give Putin Hungary, retreat completely from Ukraine and let Ukraine join the EU.
I think they are convinced that elections are properly rigged, so they can risk any future election? After that, they can go full on autocracy/kleptocracy.
The famous ancient false flag trick. Works all the time.
It depends on the definition of "worst". Now the worst have taken control, it doesn't mean the same anymore.
Trump is bulletproof anyway, he heals without leaving the slightest trace.
This have been the longest two weeks I have ever lived through.
Some people say Trump doesn't only look like shit.
This government usually means the opposite of what they are saying. It's a bit of an Orwellian 1984 thing, where you got tortured in the "Ministry of Love" or the "Ministry of Truth" where lies were made up.
It seems that only a graphic version of Anne Frank's diary was removed from school library shelves in Escambia County, Florida, after a complaint that it minimized the Holocaust with the inclusion of Frank's description of her private thoughts about sex. I read Anne's book, it's not very shocking.
Going to "denazify" and "liberate" Venezuela?
Trump was the ideal tool for Putin, Elon, project 2025 and several others. He is dumb enough not to notice when he is manipulated but still had a cultist following that think he is some kind of genius because they don't understand what he is doing. We don't understand Trump because he is an idiot.
Republicans just gloat about "so much win". In the end, everybody loses in a world with Trump, even Trump himself.
It sure resembles a rats infestation, just more harmful.
Looks like clips from some kind of budget zombie movie.
First thing first. Obviously you must fix up houses enough so people can live, but reconstruction right now will only risk being shot to pieces again.
I doubt it they will be harvesting Trump's organs.
Even if Trump has died, there's room enough in Trump's body to keep using him as a sockpuppet.
Use it for Ukraine. But use it to drive out Russia first. If anything's left, use that for reconstruction.
"Sure, but just lets try it again, maybe it still works out well this time."
You can't expect Trump to go against the will of his boss Putin?
I agree 100% that any person that seeks and achieves power should not be ignorant and has the duty to inform themselves. I just don't see that happening in the current US government.
Not sure if he lies, he really could be that ignorant. Not that it makes the situation any better.
Putin doesn't want peace, he wants Ukraine. It's up to Europe to prevent that.
"If it's not about me, I don't care."
It's a great alternative, I just wonder how long they can keep it up without being outlawed? Weirdly enough, real science is very "suspect" these days.
All this mindless destruction and killing, just to satisfy Putin's ego.
I still see Tesla's here in Europe, but it's very hard to sell them. I guess the owners need to keep driving them or lose out on a truckload of money. There would be a great market in after sale body work so they don't look like Teslas anymore, but I think Tesla doesn't allow it.
If you hate yourself, it's hard to love anyone or anything.
Trump is one of the very few people on earth with whom's health I am not concerned. He will be missed by a bunch of filthy rich guys, religious zealots, his sect members and some dictators. But not by me. And if there's a heaven and Trump ends up there somehow, I rather end up in hell.
It contained a microphone and transmitter.
Beware of Russians bearing gifts! "Eighty years ago, during the final weeks of World War Two, a troop of Russian boy scouts presented the US Ambassador in Moscow with a hand-carved Great Seal of the US, at his official residence"
It's good to hear, I just fear it will not matter anymore. I stopped believing in fair US elections.
"Yeah, but what if evil people take over the government? We would need guns to take our country back right?"
Well, Trump did very well running Casino's and such? Oh, wait...
Exactly! Next time I feel ill, I'll not visit the doctor, I'll ask the village idiot. I'm pretty sure he will come up with something original that hasn't been tried yet. Reality today is like a terribly bad B movie while we can't leave the movie theatre.
If I would want to destroy a nation from within, this is exactly what I would do.
"Don't trust the experts! Trust the ignorant idiots instead!" Now that's some sound advice if I ever heard one.
Maybe people exist that are even less qualified, but finding them will be a challenge.
Mainly Europe will pay for that I guess. But as long as we don't manufacture all we need by ourselves, there's no other choice.
Is that the only thing Putin can do? Target civilians? He's that weak?
Oh, that's cruel! I must admit I like it!
I agree that this will be an issue. But how about non military actions like Putin did with the US?
I like the flames. It is something Trump is starting to think about lately. “I want to try and get to heaven if possible,” Trump said at Fox News. “I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I hear I’m really at the bottom of the totem pole.” Well, Donny, at least you can enjoy the smell of a barbeque.
Trump = Putin, concerning Ukraine and Europe.
Interesting point, but quite some time ago and China seems to be able to gradually move away from oil? I think the way they see it, is Russia takes Ukraine and China provides weapons, while China takes Taiwan and Russia supports that. The US will eventually follow Russia (Trump/Putin connection).
Somebody should write a song about that: Let's not forget about the Epstein files, Epstein files, Epstein files. Let's not forget about the Epstein files, oh, where have they gone? Did Don do teens? I bet he did. That's what they try to keep under the lid. Let's not forget about the Epstein files!
Trump has never opened a Bible. At best he opened it to tear out a page and clean his mouth after shredding a hamburger, but even that is unlikely. This Bible talk is Project 2025 stuff. They helped Trump, now Trump helps them with their agenda. Nobody promoted Trump for thinking he is wise and fair
And the longer we wait, the harder it gets to remove these people.
China will invade Taiwan soon.
Ukraine isn't only fighting for Ukraine. It's not even only fighting for Europe. The way I see it, Ukraine is fighting for global freedom and democracy for generations to come. The world has arrived at crossroads. What will we all do?
Putin just wants control over Ukraine for his own ego, "Putin the Great". Any war helps to keep him in power. The root cause was ego, although hate is generated as a tool. It's a horrible ancient game and humanity has not managed to contain it. The fate of the free world depends on Ukraine.
MAGA's are like gamblers that lost a lot of money. They keep on gambling in the hope to win back their losses.
Denmark wants answers from US diplomat about US meddling in Greenland.
Why not both?
Ignore those weak excuses, we all know where they come from. Putin created a situation where Ukraine is justified to do anything they need to do to liberate their country.
Absolutely. I used to be a pacifist and I still feel war is an insane thing. But I just see no other option regarding the situation in the world. We need to defend ourselves, our countries, our people, our freedom.
Befehl ist befehl.
Instead of being forced to increase military just to defend ourselves and all the destruction of lives and matter, we all could be solving our global problems together instead. Energy, climate, hunger, diseases, you name it. Humanity is a bunch of idiots.
Would not surprise me at all.
I can't argue with that.
I do concede that a few of them are insane enough. They are just one big incompetent arrogant immoral mobster club.
What the world needs is a new Enlightenment period. Humanism instead of arrogance and ego. Challenging of any religious authority. The return of science with it's rationality and empirical search for the truth. And truth is not just an opinion.
I don't really think they want to kill Americans, they are just blatantly arrogant and ignorant. They think science is just a woke opinion.
Trump: "In about two weeks, we'll see."
Well, how about it then?
"A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Apparently, the arms are not used to the security of a free state, but to give mad men an opportunity to murder children.
"Blood thirsty Brussels". Putin forgot he was the one that invaded Ukraine? He doesn't understand that Europe needs to defend themselves against him? Leave Ukraine, and all your troubles are over, Putin.
It seems that Russia is getting nervous. This is from Pravda (the Russian equivalent of Fox)
Europe just needs to rip off the bandaid and get boots on the ground in Ukraine instead of letting it linger. The suffering must stop as quickly as possible. We should not try to appease Putin, that leads to nothing.
Brave boy indeed, but it just should not come to this, obviously. Profit is more important than children.
Thanks, a striking comparison to the times we live in now.
Come on Europe, sure it will not be easy, but we can do this! What other options are there?
That's why Putin will not succeed. The only country Putin will manage to destroy is Russia.
This will be a very dangerous man from now on. Russians beware! Or better: leave Ukraine!
As long as there's money to be made...
MAGA's still like what Trump is doing as they think he is destroying "the deep state". But this government IS the deep state.
Why do we bother how Putin feels about this? What's the alternative? Europe is the only one that can? You can't trust Trump's US/NATO?
"Prayers and thoughts", "We have to live with that". How many kids need to die America?
Trump always uses that "people say" argument. The voices in your head are not real Donny.
It's not a joke, this is likely to be spot on
It's easy to play, but quite out of tune.
