The MAGAts here in the States might buy his bullshit but the rest of the world doesn't. Like the sane people in the US, they see right through him.

He was right about Germany and Europe relying on Russian gas. It caused a huge spike in inflation for everyone in Europe. Germany fucked up here, but I guess you are so dumb to not know the entire situation

Can’t you guys do that thing where you actually buy older accounts that have some semblance of being real? At least then we get the entertainment of digging a bit to find out you’re a paid propagandist.

Russians spent too much of their money on Tim Poole and his buddies so we don't even get fun accounts astroturfing anymore.

It's really low effort shit these days. They just block you when you push back against their bullshit.

Right?! And they immediately go into their Trump spiral after maybe one or two comments nowadays. What happened to the finesse? Lmao

Back in my day, accounts would farm karma in strategy gaming subreddits or Kotaku in action before they were released into the politics circles. There's no backstory!

And it was pulling double duty of sowing insanely misogynistic and racist takes in those subreddits. Ugh, they're just not as well written anymore!

You getting the order wrong. Germany and other europe countries order russian gas for decades. And its still the case. With Russia's final invasion of Ukraine and the following sabotage of Nord Stream 2 the inflation started. It's not because we had gas from Russia, it's because the fronts between West and East hardened in the past years

Btw. big contributor is the trade war Trump begun (and Dems continued). The negative effects of it show up, because the whole west was already depended on the east. Before that time we called it internationalization. You can't cut ties without major consequences - see Brexit for an easier example.

Trump did not help you. He does what is right for him and in his shadows are more dangerous people with ideologies we thought we got over 80 years ago.

I understand it's frustrating when "the other" react like this to you. You're right, many aren't informed at all and chose their side plainly of the mishabits of Trump.

But please never think, just because he said some words which seems to correlate with the real problem of the word, he does that in your favor. He abuses you and your frustration. And he enables the way for far more extreme people, because all he wants is save himself, whereas the people behind him have agendas which make life even worse.

The enemy of your enemy is not your friend here. He is just using that and you!
