Plot-twist: They betray you after the election… surprised thunder mouse face

Of course they do… they also bombed Iran during the last two negotiations, didn’t they?

Im Endeffekt ist es ja genau das: Man darf noch alles sagen, ist von der Kunstfreiheit gedeckt, sich über Minderheiten lustig zu machen finden heute viele aber halt einfach nicht mehr witzig.
Bis jetzt gibts keine Pflicht über unlustige Witze zu lachen von daher sollten sich Leute die keine andere Komik auf Lager haben echt einfach nen anderen Job suchen…

That assumes that the current narcissist in power is even willing to accept that he has lost… given that they seem to be preparing to label everything to the left of MAGA as terrorism and the federal government is currently buying tear gas in bulk, I would put a big question mark on that.

“Those who fall asleep in a democracy may wake up in a dictatorship.”

In my everyday life the only ones bringing up woke positions are right nut jobs that complain about ‘everything being woke’.

So no, I personally don’t experience much annoyance by ‘woke policy’.

This is likely an ornamental cherry (pink blossoms) that has been grafted onto a wild cherry rootstock. Due to a lack of care, the wild cherry rootstock (white blossoms) is beginning to sprout and is blooming at the same time as the ornamental cherry.

It is quite likely that only the wild cherry will produce small fruits.

Both can be true:

The US tried to arm protesters via the Kurds to provoke a civil war paving the way for destabilization of Iran in the long run and possible intervention (with the Kurds not being willing to pass on the weapons as they got betrayed by Trump not that long ago).

And at the same time the peaceful protesters in Iran were murdered by the theocracy fearing for its power… possibly enhanced should the regime have gained knowledge of the planned US weapon deliveries.

He’s a clown that’s what makes it probable he said the quiet part out loud which no other POTUS was dumb enough to admit in the open.

You got a point though, with all that bullshit coming from him we can’t decide what might be true between all those lies and shouldn’t chose based on our world view.

This was / would have been the case during Trump I … since he scraped anyone with at least a bit of reason from his admin in favor of yes-man following his ideology… I’m disturbingly unsure if you’re right under for Trump II.

Thank you for the correction! I didn’t know that.

Saw a post few hours ago that apparently the feds are massively stocking up on ,less lethal" chemical weapons… I guess that translates to tear gas etc. So the crackdown might be coming, maybe after he manipiulated the midterms and still lost.

Just as if there was a reason the US didn’t attack Iran directly in the last decades eventhough the theocracy dethroned their puppet…

Based comment, have an upvote good Sir and a splendid easter!

You didn’t say that.

I got triggered since you only linked US military spending to european social security programs while leaving out other aspects, a reasoning which I only know from US conservatives including Trump.

If I mistook you I’m sorry.

You’re right of course.

But two things I’d like to point out:

1. Yes, the US WAS the military of the treaty. WAS being the important part here as the trust that made this arragement possible is heavily eroded today due to the lunatic in charge.

2. You’re first paragraph is onesided and resembles the talking points of the Trump admin. The reality is more complex: The Us would have spend that money anyways as it aimed for global military domination during and after the cold war. The NATO treaty allowd to convert this alread spend money not only in hard military but also in soft power: The US gained massive multi-level influence in the member states due to the military depency and also bought their international voices (for example inside the UN) with it. It was a win-win situation with kooperative cost advantages for both sides. Not a one sided deal to the disadvantage of the US as Americans seem to be made believe by Trump and his oligarchy.

In times of rising fuel prices it becomew INCREASLINGLY important for Ukraine to limit Russias production ans export capabilties… as the enemy can use high prices to finance further attacks. The US/Israel caused high prices, not Ukraine fighting for its survival.

Also this isn’t a new law but a remain of the cold war era.

What exactly is the point of hoping for the US to stay when their contribution currently seems to boil down to blackmailing and threats of abandonment should shit really hit the fan? This sounds more like an abusive relationship than a defence treaty…

He would’ve been stopped during Trump I. That’s why he’s now in Trump II relying on yes-men without at least a bit of competence on their resorts.

Obviously we’re now resorting to kidnapping and blackmail… wow.
