No not tired of Trump or Biden but the whole government. The incompetence overall. Please don’t harp on one of the presidents all day. BOTH SUCK. In fact if you look real hard you’ll realize all of them sucked

    Over here, People trust the government and although they may complain, in the end they see the politicians as their peers instead of enemies. Germany is naturally famous for its ”Realpolitik”: some things can’t be fixed so a realistic consensus must be achieved. In the USA this used to be possible, but it seems MAGA don’t like compromise 🤭

      I actually think people in Germany are scared of doing anything to “polar” with the government because you all had Hitler. Not wanting to go extreme in any way. I say this from having a family member in Germany and meeting several Germans in person. Economy sliding down and the government is practically begging to be next in line to fight Russia, even though it’s unnecessary. I honestly think you all are trying to tune it out from what I noticed

        Preparing to defend against Russian expansionism isn’t the same as begging to be next in line to fight Russia. It’s clear that Russia will just keep bullying the west (or basically anyone around them). If you can’t rely on what they say, you have to speak their language and be prepared for war. Not to attack them, but to defend yourself and other sovereign nations around them.

          Lol well I can’t and won’t explain it to you to make sense. So I’ll just say. If they start a war with them they will lose magnificently.

            I can never understand why you tankies are so insistent on seeing Russia as a good guy (or at least neutral). It’s an autocratic far-right regime with a silly desire for invading their neighbours. If the west is so bad for doing so everywhere then why not Russia? They’re not the soviet union anymore, they’re anything but communist. They’re everything the left should hate: imperialist, anti-“woke”, an oligarchy. I get why y’all like China because at least they pretend to be communist, but Russia?

              You peasant. Lol I had to google what a tankie is. I’m apolitical and don’t give a fuck about what you poor people group to in politics.you probably never even been to Russia or know it’s history. You speak as if you have an actual understanding of the country lol. I traveled through over 70% of America as well and I know the issues with both. But I know USA is using Ukraine as a proxy to attempt to stir up conflict thousands of miles away. I don’t see Russia doing that with Mexico. Now silence yourself
