    We don't give a damn. Anybody who can't condemn genocide threats is in no position to be in any position of power. He also blame nato members for not supporting the illegal war

    At this point NATO is a meaningless accord like every accord with the US. See also the ceasefire they jus threw in the bin.

    Why the fuck does NATO need the US? Aren't there enough powerful countries in NATO without them? Maybe it's time to move away from over-reliance on the US on defence like everything else.

    Russia has zero interest in conquering Europe, this is just the excuse NATO gives to justify increasing the budget and thus profits for millitary contractors and private industry.

    You're on a Lemmy.ml community. Do you have a counter-point, or do you think pointing out that I'm a communist is a counter-point by itself?

    Only 3 of the people commenting here are Lemmy.ml accounts, and one of them agrees with your positions. I really think you should take a step back and reconsider your understanding.

    "commie stuff"

    Yeah okay, gotta take care of optics first. Gotta think about decorum! You don't even know anything about communism. Everyone hates liberals because they justify genocides and exploitation of the global south. Try actually educating yourself. Cowbee has great guides on that, but that would require you to actually read and do critical thinking.

    I'm not sympathetic to your paranoid warmongering, your casual ignorant anti-Koreanism, your slug brained smug dipshit attitude or your defense of NATO, the largest terrorist organization on the planet.

    No it is pretty telling what your understanding and political beliefs are. You keep making up excuses for Rutte and putting him in a positive light. A "he's just making the best out of a bad situation" kind of crap.

    And being rude? You are funny. Your post towards Cowbee was fucking rude and all they did was give their answer and you just resort it to "found the .ml user LOL" like a really smart liberal. Fucking pathetic that you fling shit and then start freaking out when responded to in kind.

    You're a paranoid warmonger who fears "them"(Russia/DPRK/Iran) as an unrelenting enemy built up from decades of western propaganda, who most likely only thinks the reason things are bad is because of Trump. You justify imperialism and exploitation by supporting capitalism and the countries doing it.

    So if someones not nice to you they’re automatically a liberal?

    Dumbass you are against communism and defending NATO, a treaty that was run by literal Nazis from its founding. German councilor Scholz met with and shook hands with a former ISIS leader as an ally. (He's the puppet they installed for Syria). Zelensky did the same, they are also great friends with "Israel".

    How about you look at the patterns? Do you think Ukraine is innocent? Even our own western media was calling the government problematic before suddenly switching gears in 2022. Ukraine is run by actual fascists and they were intent on ethnic cleansing and getting rid of any Russian-Ukranians. The government is vile and racist as fuck.

    And your reaction towards my mentioning of DPRK says it all.

    A reputation among...who exactly? The "You commies have to vote for blue genocide" crowd? Yeah, I would hope to have a reputation among them. They should stay far away.

    I feel like it’s well known that kissing up to Trump is the wrong move. Deep down he hates that and doesn’t respect it. He might bluster at first but eventually he respects people who stand up to him or at least don’t give in and kiss his ass (Kim, Sheinbaum, Xi).

    Interesting argument. On the otherhand Kim, Putin and Xi all have a lot of real power (be that economic, manpower, firepower) and, at least in the eyes of the USA, are it's traditional opposition. I'm not sure he has any choice but to respect that power.

    I think trump knows who he can bully and when he can get away with it.

    Hopefully it works, Trump will be gone soon, but if the US start pulling out of NATO it'll take a lot more to rejoin. Imho, the NATO guy is playing the best game he can.

    Hopefully after Trump a more moderate president will arrive, there can't be too many like him. 😰

    Imagine the NATO guy says "ok, we don't need you USA" what then?

    One thing I like about Trump being the president is just how much he exposed the power dynamic of the imperial core. He exposed just how vile these countries are and how subservient all the vassal states are to it.

    NATO is just another tool for the US to project power over the world. Mark Rutte's words! :)

    The EU needs either the US Empire, or to smooth things over with Russia and/or pivot more to China. NATO is just a tool of US imperial power projection in Europe, but the US Empire is pivoting away from Europe and towards Asia and Latin and South America.
