    Trump would blame France and Poland for being attacked by Nazi Germany at the beginning of WWII.

      Let’s not kid ourselves, we’re one flu sickness away from Trump being mad at France for invading Ukraine.

    By that logic the American patriots in 1776 shouldn’t have taken on the British Empire.

    Well, my bad, Trump and logic don’t mix.

      If i remember correctly the Americans had a lot of help from the French who wanted nothing more than reduced british influence in the world.

      Almost as if we should be pumping Ukraine full of military hardware to reduce Russian influence on the world

      Well, the indigenous wouldn’t have been so thoroughly genocided if they hadn’t. The primary contradiction leading to the war was the British forbidding further westward settlement and the colonizers were not okay with that.

        That is true but also irrelevant to the point of “small nations can take on larger ones”.

        Closer to that would be to say that of course it made sense for the indigenous people to fight the European/American colonization and Genocide every step of the way even if they were dwarfed by their power.

      That is, no joke, what Trump is suggesting. “Russia is 10 times your size. You should have just given up.”

      This is the logic of a bully.

      Trump sees arms as power and expects fealty from anyone he perceives as “less than” him.

        They hate it more when you punch back.

        You’re not supposed to do that. If you do that

        Well

        Don’t do that! It’s your fault for punching back!

    Trump is and always was absolutely stupid. But I wonder if he even knows that it was Russia that started, that Russians are the agressor. I mean, maybe people tell him but he is just so demented already that he simply forgets. Maybe his dementia doesn’t allow him to understand the idea that there is an aggressor and a defender?

    I would really like to see someone sit him down and talk to him like a grown up, cameras rolling. Ask him what year it is. Ask him what is happening in Ukraine. And don’t accept answers such as “a very bad thing is happening in Ukraine.”. Those are copt out answers by someone who is probably completely lost. Go deep. Ask him what is the bad thing? How did it start?, etc.

      I think it’s simpler than that. To him defending yourself is taking someone on. Might makes right mentality.

      This is a blatant lie, as proven by how Russia have treated the civilian population in the areas they occupy.

      Russian troll reported.

Rules

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

  • on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)
