    Destroying their way of life so that they can fight Russia to protect their way of life.*

    *Russia wasn’t actually threatening their way of life

    So let’s see; America has:

    1. Conducted wars that drove people from their homes and into being immigrants and refugees in Western Europe, migrants and refugees whom the Euros despise (but I don’t place any animosity or hostility against these folks, it’s just to explain a point)

    2. Destroyed the nordstream pipeline supplying Germany with cheap fuel (and only the most diehard Russophobics believe otherwise)

    3. Is the cause behind this Russia-Ukraine war in the first place which is draining Germany

    4. Scuppered the plans for peace early on in the war, the war which is, again, draining Germany

    5. Convinced Western Europe not to buy cheap Russian fuel and to instead rely on American fuel, AND THEN JACKED UP THE PRICE

    6. Has discussed just flat out annexing Greenland

    7. Is now telling Europe to fund their own military, which has led to austerity measures

    But hey who are Euros, who are flocking to far right parties, blaming for their worsening conditions? Refugees and migrants!

    Absolute comedy; these people deserve their lives getting harder. Racism SHOULD be prohibitively expensive.

      Everything totally on point, but that part is slightly misleading - it’s even worse. They are too fund “their own” military only in service of NATO, which equals the US. So the vassals are ordered to sacrifice the lives of their youth for the wars of the empire and happily oblige.

    Gotta keep that life support of Ukraine on after US and Ukraine destroyed their cheap access to natural gas. Sure it doesn’t make any sense but that’s the western European way!

    Inevitable. You can have a welfare state or a remilitarised Germany. Not both.

    The welfare states of the western empire are subsidised by the US providing military to the entire empire at the expense of their own welfare state.

      Not even completely true imo, the EU could crank up the central bank and provide healthcare, pensions and education, they already have the trained professionals. But this would go against the made-up 3% deficit rule from the EU holy scriptures so they won’t even consider doing it.

    pretty sure those were the first words he ever uttered, it’s just he hasn’t really been voted into power up until recently
