Democracy fan.
Ukraine fan.
Pro EU - mid
MAGA is a deadly joke
to demand reparations in a magnitude that'll impoverish it for decades to come. Justifiably? Absolutely, but and argument can be made it might not be wise.

Maybe, he's comparing today to history that never happened.

The WWII, it could be argued, that the Versailles treaty was the leg-up Hitler needed to gain power.
Good thing to remember for when peace comes.
As much as we all (and I assume Ukr. esp.) hate ruZZians - It might be counter productive

Didn’t Ukraine have guarantees from Minsk agreements?
Who would trust another set if the first didn’t work?
December 15, 2025 at 12:52 PM
History geeks, help me out here.
When in history has a seizure of 2-300 billion euros happened before?

Electrical failure?
December 12, 2025 at 6:19 AM
No, but my guess is, right or left, if you’re educated you’re anti-trump.
Sure you can find one or two individuals to prove me wrong, but I’ll find you 100.000 to prove I am right.

The 20% that isnt critical doesn’t have the money to go to the US anyways.
December 11, 2025 at 6:25 AM
Kinda rules out all tourists from the democratic countries.
Upwards of 80% of the population in these countries are horrified and angry with trump and many have uttered this on social media.
In soccer it’s called an own-goal.
Vegas must just love him by now

Take your revenge later in the ICC
December 10, 2025 at 9:37 PM
But it would turn a great many nations against Ukraine and serve very little purpose beyond revenge.
Make them cold, make them scared, poor and hungry, but leave it to Putin to solve. That’ll put much more strain on ruZZIA than killing ruZZIAns it’ll will just free up resources for ruZZIA.
December 10, 2025 at 9:37 PM
That would truly be a dumb move I think.
December 10, 2025 at 9:29 PM
Wouldn’t be the first time their stupidity surprised me tbh
December 10, 2025 at 9:27 PM
What does he care. Bring him a teddy bear and he’ll be none the wiser.

I know a bad investment when I see it. That is a bad investment. The risk is unproportional to the expected gains.
December 10, 2025 at 9:22 PM
I know some of you are aware and I love you for it.
But “we” have to take counter measures and it pains me, obviously, that you will also suffer for it, to one extend or another. Even worse, your kids if have or will have them will also pay that price in some form.
Thats the true nightmare
December 10, 2025 at 9:18 PM
Agreed, but don’t count on Americans knowing basic history. I went to their high school in the 90’s. Its not surprising they’re dumb as shit, I learned nothing I didn’t know before and I was two grades above my age.
Its that shitty a country
December 10, 2025 at 5:24 PM
Did EU man up and give him the ruzzian funds yet?
December 10, 2025 at 5:21 PM
Like I said, they fucked up. It was the American People that elected Trump, twice. Not Putin - he may have helped, but they ultimately decided for Trump and against democracy.

US NATO betrayal was evident when he got a second term, the ones surprised havent heard him in the first term.

(We forgave you the first time, we thought it was an honesty mistake.)
December 10, 2025 at 9:34 AM
To defend the rest of the world, you did elect the idiot twice (wtf America??).
But it's true, speaking from Europe, you'll not earn the level of trust you had, not in my life time.
That disappeared like a fart in the wind in only a few short months.
December 10, 2025 at 9:34 AM
I'm a Canada fanboi these days.
December 10, 2025 at 9:21 AM
By that logic Afghanistan should be a US province, yet here we are.
December 10, 2025 at 9:20 AM
Trump, but always forget that they never fixed the core issues, so they'll have Trump 2.0 and 3.0 and 4.0 until they actually feel the very real hurt that Germany did
It's the classic parenting paradox "I did this and it was horrible so I tell you not to do it" and the kids run right out and do it
December 10, 2025 at 9:18 AM
Give it up, you'll never reach people who "has the truth" and combine it with a sense of exceptionalism.
The US fucked up, they're egocentric and entitled in their own mind.
We in Europe just need to distance ourselves as much as possible from the insanity.
US seems to think this goes away with

If you all want lower prices, rules based globalism is the only cure. Like it or not.
