Liz Truss giving advice on power is a joke in itself

Zelenskyy is a shell of a human being, and so are Trump and Putin

You're not criticizing things about Zelenskyy that are worth criticizing; you're equating him to Putin, putting the aggressor and the victim on the same level, and you do it with the obvious intention to minimize Putin's faults. You're not adding nuance to a leader or contextualizing things; you're simply implying that the one who has invaded and violated a country's sovereignty is the same as the one defending against it.

I'm not going to respond to you again because you're making a fool of yourself if you think this is going anywhere. But if you wanted to have a serious conversation about what Ukraine could or couldn't have done differently (Ukraine, not Zelenskyy, who has been in office since 2019, when Russia already had everything ready, not since 2014), you'd have to start by understanding that Russia is the aggressor, that Putin is an imperialist, and that nothing others do will change that.

Oh, come on. Fine, I'll put it in writing if you need it.
The first step in the oldest playbook in the business says: if the leader you want to defend (or the company, or the country, it doesn’t matter) does something so obviously wrong that it’s indefensible, make the rival look the same. It doesn’t matter how, it doesn’t matter how much, just muddy the playing field.

Putting Putin and Zelenskyy on the same level is exactly that, and it’s damn transparent to anyone with half a functioning brain.

The politics of getting intentionally incomplete games to add DLC's and squeeze more to the players does not help. The Civ VII is clearly incomplete and we all know it, within perhaps two years, there will not be all the things that the company already knows that the game needs.

Of course, everything can be given a different interpretation, but what he literally said is there.

You can also think if the confederates just wanted more power for the states or if the Nazis just wanted to recover German pride, But neither the South politicians nor those of Germany from the thirties, normally receive the benefit of the doubt, why should the MAGA?

Oh is fine, I rectify what I said, this photo does not represent most of the Americans, represent the majority of the Americans who care about something, the rest do not care about shit.

Dude, look at the election results from not a year ago. Some guy showed up saying you wouldn't have to vote again and he got more votes than everyone else. Do you need polls on this?

At best, the sum of those who are in favor of overthrowing democracy and those who don't care is overwhelming.

That's even worse. A person who doesn't want democracy is a bad thing, but an idiot who destroys it trying to protect it is much more dangerous. The first one can be reasoned with, the second one is too stupid.

In any case, my point is the same, whether intentional or accidental, the people who do not accept democracy in America are the majority today and that photo represents them.

Trump's friendship with Putin is not fresh news and American voters have not given a shit

In Iran there are also people who love democracy, but I am sorry to say that, just like in America, they are a minority.

A similar interpretation was made of that photo in Europe these four years, now we have understood that it represents something different.

In the photo there are people who do not want more democracy (stop the count they shouted) and now we see that they are the majority, they were in 2016 and in 2020 only the shock of covid made them not be. The US population no longer wants democracy and this photo represents them.

My thoughts on this have not changed over the past twenty years, only my sense of urgency. I hope all of this will help push these ideas and policies forward.

Of course, sure, Zelenskyy, Trump, and Putin are exactly the same. My goodness, how could this kind of cheap, third-rate propaganda be influencing some people so much?

Leaving this in foreign hands is a clear mistake. Federated networks, with cores in different countries, could be an acceptable solution, but anything else cannot be accepted.

Europeans should ask them to leave, if they are not going to help in our defense, and that is something that Trump has made clear more than once, so that we want them here? They are just a basis for operations for American against our democracy

How this man saved the euro with a simple press conference and authentic determination in the European project should be studied by current European leaders

Leadership, ambition and determination is needed. Our leaders do not have plenty, but if they can gather enough we will continue to be an autonomous international actor, if we will not be relegated to a market -firing market for rivals not very friendly

He is a Kremlin puppet, a Russian agent, and the population of the USA is delighted with it, the minority that opposes him is not enough to avoid this. The sooner we understand and readjust our foreign policy accordingly, the better we will go

I am convinced of it, but I also believe that only GDP is not a sufficient indicator, things such as industrial production or R&D in the subject can be factors that complicate the thing.

In any case I am sure that a united European army would give Moscow cold sweats

Of course, Zelenskyy is an evil ruler who hates his people, and that justifies a violation of his sovereignty and the annexation of their territories, because ... well because ... I don't know something that blames Brussels bureaucrats, neither is that you strive a lot in the narrative
