Those are merely examples of allies that have been in Trump’s crosshairs and doesn’t suggest those allies changed their position. Trump did fuel Macron’s desire for a European army but that was more about possibly not being able to count on the US with Trump at the wheel and carrying more themselves. Becoming a more organized stronger ally doesn’t mean less of an ally. I’m just saying I don’t think any allies quit after an impeached fuck up. Maybe 3 terms of Trump would do that but just as America voted Trump in, they voted him out.
lol right
No, I never believed the majority of the US condones, outright supports every of Trump’s statements. It’s why I never replied to your reply where you explained to me the attributes of a certain subset and a certain member in the US are not representative for the entire set - it’s implied for me, but your response implied an inserted “all”. Maybe they have some messed up electoral system where the winner doesn’t necessarily represent the majority‘s choice. Maybe a low turnout in a multiparty system and only 30% of eligible voters and 20% of population voted for him. Maybe he just happens to be the leader of a major party a lot of people voted for because that’s what their parents and friends do. Maybe they have some backward southern states with to much influence. In S.Korea I don’t know, in the US I happen to, somewhat, but I’m also aware many do not and would say about the US what you just said, verbatim.
No, sins of the some members including leadership of the set are not automatically the sins nor the responsibility of every member. No, being a Russian does not mean you have a responsibility for whatever messed up shit Putin decides or should risk your life. Nah. There‘s not even fair elections in Russia. This “they they they” is just completely missing the point of my posts. Who is they? Russians? Cause they are born within Russian borders they are now all bad people and responsible for the crimes of everyone else born within those same borders? Nah.
Well it’s definitely not an easy situation but that’s exactly what needs to be done, not some sort of reverse nationalism where each individual is bad cause he or she belongs to a set we labelled Russians. Several countries in the east as in close to Russia reject them, saying avoiding civil duty / draft is not a legal reason to get asylum. Germany, NL, Norway and others in the west are like anyone who wants to get away from war is welcome to go through the proper channels. Which is probably a bit naïve but seems humane.
people have a responsibility for what their leaders do...which leaves us holding a big bag of shit. but responsibility is responsibility...
we pick them, we should have a pretty good idea of what their plans are before we vote for them, but the vast majority of people in the US don't know fuck all but what they hear on social media and what their friends are doing, who are all pretty much ignorant asses, pretending to know what the fuck they're about...i can't help but think the rest of the world will be fairly similar...people so stupid they shouldn't be allowed to have a voice in any important decisions, making important decisions, badly, and leaving those of us who aren't fucking morons to clean up the mess they just made...again...and again...ad motherfucking infinitum...
until we find a way to let them feel like they're participating, but they only get to participate in minor decisions...like which toothpaste to buy, not who gets to run the country...
ok, bad example, as most of the people i'm talking about don't have any teeth...but you get the point.
are the russians fleeing their country responsible for putins choices now? no...but they did pick him, they did sit on their hands while ethnic minorities were being sent to die, which they were aware of, and seemingly approved of. there were no demonstrations when those people were essentially drafted, or offered enough to lift them out of the poverty russian policies keep them in, to go and fight, on the off chance they'll survive to collect.
there were no demonstrations in russia protesting putin's use of cluster bombs on civilian targets...no protests when russians stole thousands of tons of Ukraine's wheat, which they are now selling, saying they had a bumper crop this year...this year of floods, droughts, and scorching heat.
there were no protests about the fake referendums people were just forced to participate in..with plainly visible ballots in glass walled boxes...
the only protests i've seen are for themselves, now that they are facing the same deaths they were glad to ignore just days ago, because they weren't the ones dying...
no fucking sympathy for russia or russians...
