And he threatened NATO, who by all his accounts "stood back from the front lines" When Article 5 was called during the bullshit second Gulf War. And now he DEMANDS they help. Sure buddy.

I just love the quote:

So, we need, I, I would really, I’m demanding...

He starts with needing help, starts to say he just really wants it, then pivota to demanding it.

The fact that he went thru those steps shows how much pressure he's facing.

His two biggest wings of influence has been Israel and American christo-fascists, if they start pulling him in opposite ways, he can't hold onto both.

He's fucked, but so are the rest of us by extension. Hopefully just till midterms at least.

you still think voting will get you out of the fascism you invited in?

[–] br0da@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Invited in? I didn’t invite any of this in. Not by my vote, not by my letters to government officials, and not by my protests.

It's a generalization... "you" as in "Americans" voted this in TWICE!

both asscheeks of the uniparty are at fault for creating the circumstances

I'm sure the world is very interested in whether you invited him or not, just as much as in who in Russia did or didn't vote for Putin.
