it doesnt, i don’t know what drones have to do with the fact europe and the us have indeed been helping them quite significantly all of this time. i mean who else could hold the russians for a few years now?

i think communication is cutting out though, so have a nice day.

what? you are telling me half of the country is destroyed and ukranian troops just sniped every russian soldier from afar instead of dying to protect it.

there are probably almost a ~million people dead in each side by now.

i’m talking about ukraine. from here it isnt looking like they manufacture their own weapons, are not financing it themselves, and have a big presence of other nationalities. else they wouldnt be so keen on US and NATO support.

isn’t nato formed by us and european troops/money/weapons? im pretty sure they were deployed there in numbers.

holy shit the situation is dire, i just looked at the price of my card and it costs just as much as it did a few years ago when i bought it used. i guess GPUs are not for us anymore, its for AI slop and surveillance now.

get an used one, why make it hard. nobody needs the latest and greatest at launch and they clearly cant/dont want to keep up.

i play me bideogames and be happy that it works well until it doesnt.

what year is it

didnt europe send troops? and the us?

I did not know that, but wouldnt be surprised if they are a degree subjugated by the US in some way.

I don’t think they plan on following the rules for this one though. Dissolving NATO aligns with Trumps interests so I can see that happening.

Although they would probably find a diplomatic way of taking control of their minerals, similar to what they just did in Panama.

why would they do what the US wanted to china in the first place? its not like they are under the same pressure as the third world.

“the word will go out to the nations of the world that it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.” -henry kissinger (1960s, i think?)

theyve always done this with everyone else, shame on you for trusting the US at all, after seeing what they do to the rest of the world.

of fucking course they would have done the most lucrative move for them.

isnt the US also a part of NATO? and a big contributor at that?

The US isn’t a dictatorship

i mean, eeeeeeeeeeh… its technically an oligarchy. which i wouldnt call a democracy at all.

i don’t think his personality traits are that relevant beyond how he rallies his supporters.

fascism tends to put narcissists and other specific types of people in power, but they are put there by capitalism (or: the powers that be) when they need such a leader. fascism is not an organic and normal thing to happen to people, and its definetly not exclusively trumps merit here.

looking back, historically, that happens whenever the US invades you to pacify bring democracy or when crisis that shakes the very core of the system looms.

i struggle to believe that politicians, especially the sitting president on the biggest empire in the world, won’t ruin their go at power simply because of that. i dont think their followers are putting out good analysis either.

could they hypotethically defend themselves?

the marshall plan and the subsequent grip the us has over europe did a number on them, as always. but thats really golden coming from france of all places.

how small is that population damn
