There’s no way we could have ever known or predicted this…
We never learn from history, do we?
Wait… wie arent celebrating Chamberlain Day in the 30th of September?
Yes, we are, it’s the day when people who have gone out of their way to appease a warmonger into starting, or continuing a war anyway will receive their well earned peace price.
It worked with putin, right?
Right…?
Crazy how this strategy keeps being pursued and failed.
It is the strategy that causes the least distruption in the short term, I understand it’s appealing especially if a country is in a tight spot to begin with. People really need to learn to think ahead more than 2 weeks.
They aren’t in a tight spot. They are only in a tight spot relatively speaking. We have oceans of wealth. We don’t have focused political will, because they only give a shit about the numbers, not the ideals that should steer our societies.
Or think beyond the next quarter or a year. I think this is a social problem, particularly in the West, of immediacy and instant gratification. Politicians only think of policies that would keep them in power for the next election cycle but not create decades long improvement. Even when I raised the issue of Ireland’s overreliance on US multinationals when I was on Reddit, what I’ve gotten is the usual Irish attitude of “ah be grand” because Trump’s presidency is only four years. That may be the case, but the lasting legacy is what matters. Even as we speak, Ireland hosts one of the GDPR ombudsman, and guess who is the ombudsman, a former Meta employee. Talk about conflict of interest and Ireland not being compromised by American tech bros. We are indeed closest to Boston than to Berlin, which is a shame.
Just let him have
Sudetenland and AustriaVenezuela and Greenland and he’ll calm down.
I don’t know what the EU was thinking. You can’t appease a narcissist with dementia.
A lone narcissist with dementia would have been impeached by the billionaires by now.
Trump is just the figure head of American Capitalists. That’s much more dangerous because American investment funds also own European companies and thus European politicians.
That’s sad but very true… look at Munich and Microsoft for example. Söder is MS’s Bitch
A bit more complicated than that. A figurehead for monied interests’ war on reality, but also representing the extremist religious of all denominations, the evangelicals, 25 percent of his base if memory serves, want the world to collapse so christ returns and the world drowns in lakes of blood and fire.
Religion is abreast with big money.
That’s weird, it worked so well with Hitler.
Arguably it bought Europe a half a year.
I seriously hope that this was their hidden rationale, though I’m not holding my breath.
History is repeating. Why?
It’s not being taught or talked about. Just make short PSAs
Duh.
What? Naur!
Give a bully what they want once and they leave you alone forever.
Say it ain’t so! Oh my god, we have been blind! Who would have known not to trust this man?!
Time for another pump and dump. Greediest and least ethical administration ever. Purposely waffling policy for profit.
Wow who could have possibly seen this coming
SELL US BONDS. Then get them back, at lower prices.
Edit: Wont work. EU doesnt have enough and countries could veto. Also if it would work, China would have done it already.
GO AWAY DAVRIELLE LOUNA
