Netanyahu is also Merz’s daddy.

    That’s a stupid way to put it.

    It’s politics and diplomacy. What else is he supposed to say : death to America?

    Europe doesn’t care about Maduro even if he was a saint, which he most definitely is not.

    And being outraged at his words is so naive and stupid. It’s obvious the balances of power have changed, right now the world is at the mercy of the powerful and America is the most powerful. Europe has more that it can handle in the east where we need America’s assistance, for sure no one will stick their tongue out for f Maduro. And if you expect politicians to have principles beyond their duty to the country you shouldn’t comment politics at all.

    Talking about who is anybody’s daddy is willingly ignoring the most interesting part of international politics, the complex relationships between countries and politicians and what they want and need from each other which in cases like these, becomes more visible.

    It’s like talking about how cars work by mimicking toy car sounds instead of opening the hood.

      FTFY

      the most interesting part of international politics, the complex relationships between countries

      Oooooh, I see… You’re not a big believer in international law yourself, either.

      Like in February 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine. Yes, Russia and Ukraine have a “complex” relationship, but what matters is the law, not what Putin needs from Kiev. If you can’t see the double standard here then I don’t know what to tell you.

        Of course there is a double standard. It’s current reality. That’s my point. Not only current, double standard have always been politics.

        It’s naive to be outraged about it. Powerful can do whatever they want. They always have, but it was more subtle and for a time it almost seemed that the rule of law will someday win. But we completely regressed.

    The word “complex” is nearly always misused by people who know they’re on the wrong side

        SCOTUS would usually be part of the checks and balances, determining if things are illegal or not. They’ve given the current Fascist president carte blanche to do whatever the fuck he wants without penalty.

    We can’t say anything about the legality of the break-in and murders, for now we have to focus on cleaning up the house and hope the burglaring rapist murderers don’t target other buildings in the area.

      By the way, they’ve told us the house they’re going to next, but since we’re not sure if they’ve done any crimes yet, we can’t be sure they will there either

    If you would please look at the current situation in Germany and how the country is on the verge of collapse because of this dickhead and his BlackRock cronies i’d say he’s the last person to ask for an opinion on how a country should be governed.

    Fuck normalizing this bull shit. Even if he wasn’t elected, it doesn’t give the right to the us to abduct him.

    Now, more than ever, loyal Americans must come together and ignore the fact their president is a kiddy diddler. /s
