Literally. He has also always been this dumb, the dementia isn't helping but that isn't the root cause, listen to the shit that comes out of his mouth: "hundreds of millions of years ago people traded with rocks".

That was thirty years ago.

I will never forget when he tried to take credit for Obama's economy and was openly laughed at.

That might work too. My comment was based on the principles of Anders Puck Nielsen:

Use gold rimmed paper to get his attention.

Russia would lose all land it seized from the 2022 invasion. Europe is already paying for the war in Ukraine by supplying weapons. It will pay even more if Russia conquers Ukraine.

1. Good point but France is a nuclear power and has a good military. Countries fought Germany during World War II despite being in the Great Depression. Countries that can replace France are Germany and Poland.
2. It would be replaced by a European alliance without the US. Leaving the US out is to make the agreement attractive to Putin.
3. Only two countries would send troops to Ukraine. This is necessary to prevent Putin from claiming he is being overwhelmed and must go nuclear.
4. Europe has to be reminded of the consequences of Russia winning in Ukraine. The UK and France weren't willing to fight Germany during World War II. When Germany invaded Poland, Britain and France declared war on Germany but did nothing. They should have attacked Germany from the west while much of Germany's military was in Poland. The result of this purely defensive strategy was that Germany invaded France and France considered one of the powerful countries in the world surrendered in six weeks.

Russian bot gonna bot.

I'm ool on 1 but not first time I've seen it today. What's up?

Whoa, they already fixed their bot farm??

How do I block everyone from there? (On vogayer) I already have the instance blocked

Imagine saying that about US soldiers who invade other countries. Or Israel soldiers in Gaza. You'd go straight to jail or at least loose your job. Your double standard in ethics just reveals your own fascism.

Agree on all points, but small correction here:

Nazis in a way promoted Zionism, or Zionists promoted Palestinian nationalism

Nazis did not promote Zionism by attacking Jews. Zionism made deals with Nazis to facilitate immigration to Palestine (Haavara agreement). Also Zionist orgs actively worked against the Jewish leftist groups in Europe, and by extension, helped the authoritarian states (Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia).

Zionism did not promote Palestinian nationalism. There was Palestinian nationalism that was suppressed under Ottoman rule and was advocating for their own state under the British mandate. The identity always existed and the state building was just starting early 1900s which was the same time when Zionism began colonization of Palestine.

So we give up on trying to fight climate change?

We've given up on climate change in 2016 and even then it was already too late. Anyone pretending otherwise is just delusional. We're probably going to burn every single fossil fuel. And nothing we can do about it any more. Hitting somewhere around RCP6 is a near certainty now. That is unfortunately the sad reality. How much coverage does climate change and efforts even get these days? Near zero.

I understand Ukraine the nationalists there want a permanent break from Russia and permanent russophobia is a great strategy to maintain power.

In a sense, Putin and Stalin did much to promote Ukrainian nationalism, much like the Nazis in a way promoted Zionism, or Zionists promoted Palestinian nationalism

How The CIA Conjured Ukrainian Nationalism

This is based on declassified intel. The US has been supporting Ukranian ultra-nationalism since the 1950s. And they were utilized in the 2014 coup as the core of the Euromaidan. And as a Ukrainian trial verdict from 2023 found they were behind the Euromaidan massacre false flag operation. This is reality.

Did you know the slogan "Slava Ukraini" in the complete form (“Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes!”) has been created by the banderites who fought with the NAZIs during WWII, and now been adopted as the official military greeting? The same banderites who massacred a 100.000 poles Wikipedia article. This is reality.

I don't know if anything like this reaches you. If anything at all can make you think for a moment. I see little difference between MAGAts, climate change deniers, anti vax and the people who are rabidly anti-Russia and pro US empire and neoliberalism. Complete denial of reality and incapable of accepting reality as it is.

You are being systematically lied to. You can check western sources to see this (see the links in this article), if you can read history and between the lines of propaganda. Historical facts are now denounced as Russian propaganda like reality and truth just doesn't mean anything any more. The official "Eu against disinfo" is spreading lies now. Do you still believe in democracy and liberal values? Because you are certainly not supporting them by repeating the propaganda of the US empire.

So in this political climate how exactly do you think Europe can avoid sliding into outright fascism?

When do you think these parties will take over Germany, France, and UK?

PS: To add to the last bit, the thing is the AfD voters are quite stupid, and the AfD opportunistic neoliberals who will change their course on Russia almost immediately after getting power. Whatever gets their rocks off. They are not driven by any ideology, opportunists like MAGA.

But while these voters are very susceptible to certain propaganda, it's not the same kind of "idealism" propaganda that has hypnotized the left. Like they don't believe that Russia is evil because they are just acting in their own best selfish interest, and they'll believe the same about the US and other states too. This is the difference between "realism" and "idealism" in international relations. They think everyone, just like themselves, is out to get theirs. So talking points like "Putler will soon march and take Berlin" is defeated by a simple: What would he gain by actually doing that? While the idealistic people think "because he evil and irrational of course he wants to destroy everything!". And it's an old hat now. Sadam was a hitler. Gaddafi was a hitler. Assad was a hitler. The Ayatolla was a hitler. What those voters actually want is a clear nationalist policy platform that is in our own interests. But none the mainstream parties deliver on that and cowtow to the demands of the US empire instead.

So in answer to your question: "sooner than expected".

It is fascinating reading suppodedly left point of views that are so close to what official "cooperation partners" of United Russia, like the FPÖ, are saying.

A lemmy.ml acct...lol

You think I'm a fan of those countries? Obviously they are neoliberal opportunists who believe in nothing and will change their program to whatever serves them best in the moment. They are no viable alternative. But their electoral takeover is basically guaranteed. Maybe they will coup / invalidate the election like they did in Romania.

Ultimately you're just projecting. You're the one that allowed themselves to be swayed by fascist and imperialist propaganda and lies into cheerleading a horrendous war that will have a very ugly end.

If you know and understand the historical facts and how propaganda works, you don't need to be an anything. It matches with basic human decency and any kind of morals.
