@Nemra I remember you were asking for places to take psychs. So you doing it in Europe? And it’s successful, cool.

He puts too much trust in Trump and the US imo. Although it’s good to act calm and collected with Trump and MaGa imo instead of just turning it into a back and forth fight/argument or start to panic. But i hope he better has a plan B ready also.

Nice 👍

And that’s a good thing. He’s like the Buddha of politics. Turning down the temperature before it’s too late. I mean i get that it seems boring for Americans who are tweaking in a froot loop sugar rush. But we like peace and calm. Less ego less Donald.

Finally a cool movie at the cinema Oscar type stuff.

The Finnish sauna president Good man thus far Cool calm and collected

So how do you stop someone from spewing crappy authoritarian propaganda? I mean if this was a right wing forum i‘d understand it but dear lord.

Netanyahu and Putin. Putin lost more Russians in Ukraine than Americans were lost in WW2. They just throw men into the meat grinder. No care or value for human lives.

It’s quite frustrating to argue with people who support an authoritarian, violent dictator who bombs people without caring about human life. These people act like propagandists. Personally i just put them on ignore.

Almost everybody in Europe was invaded and many in Asia.

I mean they destroyed freedom and democracy in Hong Kong which is quite sad. Hong Kong used to be really cool 😎

Putin seems like a one man party. While in China it’s the CCP. Although in some ways especially before the war i think Russia was a little less restrictive than China.

Well maybe. If he really loved it he would have lifted more Russians out of poverty probably.

I mean i would also say Hitler loved Germany (in his own twisted way). Even if he ended up destroying it.

I think the big difference is that Trump does things mostly for himself. While Putin does things mostly for Russia (or his vision of Russia). And Trump is an attention whore while Putin isn’t really. Trump isn’t really ideological while Putin is. That’s just how it comes across here.

Funny thing is NATO existed as a deterrent against Russia/Soviet for 75 years. It was basically started by the US. Article 5 was only used once when the US asked for help after 9/11 As soon as Russia starts to test Europe after 75 years. America is like "bye guys we’re out you’re on your own“

I think that’s what he wants, that people talk about him. Better just to ignore.

I do agree that empathy can be self destructive. Like with Sweden. Or i‘ve seen in my own surroundings examples where the left is too „empathetic“ or forgiving to certain groups of people because of their ideology. Sometimes you do have to be tough and have certain rules. Like „no violence“ for example.

It’s quite gaslighty I mean i do think the West and especially the US made many arrogant errors and mistakes or decisions. Like Iraq and so on. But well we can’t turn back time.

Agree

Maybe he has something on him. Like dirt or whatever. I was just listening to an author who was with Trump, Bannon 2018 in Helsinki when there was a Trump Putin meeting. And he said Bannon was just wondering "what the hell does Putin have on Trump"

So for example in Europe. Europe basically has to get its ish together and become stronger and more self reliant. Which i hope means its own tech companies (maybe together with Japan, India) and so on In the US the corruption is really now there for everyone to see. So i think however this administration ends. People will seek for more honesty at some point. The system (wall street, military industrial complexes, lobbies, Israel, regime changes) was getting sick so maybe this is the needed reset. Remember when someone said if Aliens attacked the world the world would stop most infighting? Maybe Trump can be that orange alien.

When asked how Fascism starts, Bertrand Russell once said: "First, they fascinate the fools. Then, they muzzle the intelligent."
