A blue one is also totally suitable for a funeral, just ask Donnie Orangeutan, he knows all about style and dignity. /s

It’s just sad.

That’s true, but he will still need new buyers because his previous allies, whom he has alienated greatly, will very likely reduce their order volume considerably.

I think that this so-called statesman, with his petty power games, has once again overestimated himself on this issue - as with others issues but in the same stupid manner.

That doesn’t seem unlikely to me, since Trump has destroyed the basis of trust with his allies and is thus doing considerable damage to one of the few US industries that is still functioning well, namely the arms industry.

Perhaps he somehow thought that Europe would buy the weapons needed to equip itself because he has unilaterally terminated NATO protection from US companies. Maybe a few that you can’t get anywhere else, but the EU would be incredibly stupid to buy from a nation that is now hostile to it.

So other buyers will probably have to be found - although Russia has its own arms industry and is also on good terms with China. Moreover, unlike Trump, Putin really isn’t an idiot.

But hey, maybe the EU can negotiate a billion-euro arms deal with Russia to get better conditions for Ukraine.

It would hardly be any different from buying weapons from the US.

Never mind. Russia is calling the shots on their side anyway.

I wonder what it was used for

Sounds very illegal to me, but I’m from Europe.

Every US citizen who wants to prevent the same thing from happening in the States should go and protest today. Find an event near you and show the fascists that they can expect resistance.

Best of luck from Europe.

Absolutely nothing - on the contrary, they even supply the weapons with which these shameful murders are committed.

And Trump and his band of criminals are not even alone in this - my home country, Germany, is also aiding and abetting these terrible war crimes.

I simply cannot understand how a country like Israel, which is actually completely irrelevant on the world stage, not only gets away with genocide, but is even supported by many of those countries that otherwise always play the moralizer.

The only way I can explain this is that the fascist regime in Israel is taking advantage of the fact that this country is a leader in surveillance and espionage technology. Other than by blackmailing foreign state representatives, I simply cannot explain why so many countries persist in supporting all these terrible atrocities - in democratic countries even against the will of the people and at the massive expense of votes.

I’m aware that this is conspiracy theory, but I simply can’t explain it any other way because it is so incredibly absurd and shameful.

I mean, Bibi has long been the subject of an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Courts.

It is of course quite clear that no government official in the USA is interested in this, but the fact that European countries, which recognize this intuition as binding, are also thinking about how Netanyahu could be invited as a state guest without having to arrest him immediately is simply telling. And then also supplying weapons to a war criminal?

How?

These pigs really do everything they can to distract from their criminal activities - with even more criminal activities.

So he wants people to call him that?

Yes, that’s true. I just find it funny that Amazon named this line of business after a fraudulent device. For some of the things you can do with it, it’s probably quite the fitting name.

A perfectly legitimate question, especially since this misleading approach is precisely why Amazon’s Mechanical Turk is named like that.

The Mechanical Turk, also known as the Automaton Chess Player, was a fraudulent chess-playing machine built by Wolfgang von Kempelen in 1770. It appeared to play chess autonomously but was actually operated by a skilled human chess player hidden inside. (Source)

I don’t know the answer, but I assume that it probably has something to do with money and power…

The guy is a psychopath without any empathy. I don’t think there’s much difference between media persona and reality here. Someone who acts so immorally can only be a bad person. There can be no excuses for this.

I mean, is anyone interested in who Hitler actually was? Does it matter at all? Maybe for pathological psychology, but little else really.

In any case, anything but a pleasant conversation partner, I would say. Especially because his hatred and his excessive stupidity are definitely not an act.

I think you give him too much credit.

If there is something to criticize, everyone should do so. Criticism is a good thing: you don’t necessarily have to share it, but you can learn from it.

The pronunciation typical of the country makes it clear what a fucking Kant the usual philosopher from Germany is.

Why give this guy shit? If he was just following orders, he wouldn’t have talked to CBS after the fact and you wouldn’t be reading this. It’s something, right?

Also pretty crooked these days

That’s all well and good, but the problem remains: Namely, the fact that Meta earns far more every day than all companies worldwide earn from the sale of T-shirts put together - much, much more. And Meta pretty much doesn’t even sell anything physical (Oculus, c’mon). They mainly just sell massive reach for advertisements and PR (influencing opinions). In addition they sell, the personal data of users to make that work devilishly acuarate. As long as the vast majority doesn’t care how this business model works and what power the centralization of attention actually means even for their own reality, nothing will change, I’m afraid.
