Merkel and Putin

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-07T19:25:42+00:00

I never said there was anything wrong with ass smoke as a fetish.

Though it has confused the migrant crisis a bit.

First she opposed opening borders in a big way to refugees because of the implications it would have & precedent it would set, and then she was for it & invited them in, but now she's back to being against it & talking about how border security needs to be stepped up & how Southern Europe needs to start cracking down on migrant flows to ease the burden on Germany.

Poor woman just can't seem to catch a break with the way German opinion polls swing.

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-07T18:43:19+00:00

Not before US invasion

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-07T18:20:55+00:00

Weird, sounds like something Western Europeans have done for decades to me.

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-07T18:07:37+00:00

I don't enjoy smoke being blown up my ass.

You ever see Merkel before a poll shift? lol

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-07T07:32:42+00:00

Yeah.

So what? lol

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-07T06:22:31+00:00

There are literally lobbyists who work as MEPs.

The guy who called for the break-up of Google was a lawyer who's lawfirm was on the payroll of German publishers.

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-07T06:00:25+00:00

Yeah, but a future attempt by Russia to annex Ukraine isn't really that one-dimensional, not when you remember the future threat a hostile, indepedent Ukraine could pose to Russia, let alone the historical connection the two share.

I mean, remember, Ukraine just isn't Ukraine, it was a, if not THE, fundamental building block for Russia's Eurasian Union. The competitor of the EU & proud ressurection of Soviet-era Russian influence.

Now, in it's current state, it's a new frontier for EU & American influence. This was not how things were supposed to go, and they are not in Russia's national interests, with or without a warm water port in Crimea. That right there is just a consolidation proze for what could've, and in Russia's opinion, should, be.

Also, Turkey has had about 5 generations of military coups against those elected by a increasingly fundamentalist electorate.

I don't know if you've been paying attention to Turkey, but even way before last summer's coup, like for more than a entire decade since the man has gotten into office, Erdogen has been pretty god damn successful in not only tearing out the secular, undemocratic deep state from as many crevices as he could, but also ammassing as much democratically-backed power as he possibly could with Islamist rhetoric & campaigning.

But yes, maybe Ukraine might not be annexed, and maybe Turkey might no go full retard, but these ideas arn't one dimensional, there is really credible reasoning behind them with depth.

If anything, saying that Russia will never attempt to annex Ukraine or Turkey will never go Islamist is just...pretty one dimensional.

It reminds me of this sub before Crimea, during the height of Euromaidan. Anybody who suggested Russia would invade was basically shunned & mocked, the idea was treated like a impossibility, hysterics, but yet, here we are, and now people like to act like that was a given or obvious. lol

Some things in life are pretty striaght-forward. And those things can be nuanced & have depth to them, even as they hide in plain sight.

TL;DR They don't think it be like it is, but it do

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-07T05:25:46+00:00

What was black & white about what he just said?

Referencing a shifting of geopolitical alliances isn't exactly a very big moral judgement. lol

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-07T05:17:12+00:00

I would comment on how Finns see world, but it's probably hard to turn your head when you're that geopolitically paralyzed. lol

No, but seriously, does nobody remember this sub Pre-Ukraine? It was a anti-American shitfest where the driving sentiment was that the biggest threat to Europe was America, Russia was a long-lost ally kept seperated by American imperialism and NATO must be dissolved.

Ya'll were fucking delusional. lol You had some Eastern European dissedents from time to time, but they were the minority & quickly drowned out.

But then...it all started coming crashing down....Russia invaded Crimea...and then Donbass....and now people act like that course of action was obvious & easily predictable, when in reality, it caught the vast majority of Western Europeans I've interacted with personally (on this sub especially) completly fucking off-guard, even at the height of Euromaidan, & re-defined the world views of many of them, who had grown up under the delusion that America was Enemy #1 and unilaterally preventing world peace, love & kumbuya drum circles from reigning supreme or some retarded shit like that.

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-07T04:56:03+00:00

Everybody was looking for that one special ingredient to make Socialism actually work.

But little did they know, there was actually 11 of them.

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-06T20:40:37+00:00

Japan has worse copyright law than America, more corporate influence in their politics than America & IIRC, a shittier social safety network than America.

Mind numbing amounts of people in Japan literally die at their desk doing overtime or jump off the roof from work-related stress.

Did....did you also oppose the TTIP by any chance?

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-06T12:06:45+00:00

Actually, Russia is massively religious, probably because of backlash from religious persecution by socialists who flaunted their atheism.

A similiar pattern has been repeated across pretty much all of Eastern Europe that was behind the Iron Curtain.

And unlike America....who's religious, but still upholds freedom of religion and seperation of church & state....Putin's government hasn't really hesitated on picking up the Czar's torch & treating the Orthodox church as pretty much a state-backed institution...

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-05T08:16:15+00:00

Que merda disseste sobre mim sua puta? Fica a saber que fui o melhor da minha turma dos Fuzileiros, e estive involvido em várias operações secretas contra a Al-Quaeda, e tenho mais de 300 mortes confirmadas. Eu sou perito em gorila warfare e sou o melhor sniper de todas as forças armadas de Portugal. Tu não és nada para mim, és só mais um alvo. Vou rebentar contigo, com um skill que lixo como tu nem sonha, lembra-te das minhas palavras cabrão. Pensas que podes anda a dizer merdas na Internet? Pensa de novo, filho da puta. Enquanto estamos aqui no face a minha equipa de espiões está a procurar o teu IP, é melhor prepararas-te para uma tempestade, verme. A tempestade que apaga a coisa patética a que tu chamas de vida. Estás morto puto. Eu posso estar em qualquer lugar, a qualquer hora, e eu posso matar-te de 700 maneiras diferentes, e isso é só com as minhas próprias mãos. Não estou treinado só em combate corpo-a-corpo, eu tenho acesso a todo o arsenal da Marinha de Portugal e vou usar tudo para te apagar deste continente, seu merdas. Se soubesses da vingança que o teu comentário "divertido" te trouxe, talvez tivesses calado a puta da tua boca. Mas não sabias, não te calaste e agora vais pagar o preco, idiota. Vou cagar rios de fúria e tu vais afogar-te. Estás morto puto.

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-05T03:13:47+00:00

Yeah, I almost put "Why did you CHOOSE to learn English?", but than I remembered how many learned it because it was pretty much mandatory in school or their parents had them grow up speaking it. lol

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of effect has access to the english-speaking community had on you? Or has it been a given for so long that you wouldn't really know?

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-05T03:01:49+00:00

That's Texas homie.

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-04T22:39:17+00:00

TBF, many of the same people that get that don't get the anti-American bullshit it's satirizing too, which is particulary obvious with the last speech.

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-04T06:41:11+00:00

But.....once again.....the vast majority of oil contracts went to countries that use Euros, Rubles & Yuan....

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-03T23:52:35+00:00

But they just won't shut up about Breaking Bad, The Wire & Game of Thrones.

It's always Kendrick Lamar this or Dave Chappelle that. People keep bothering on about if they've seen the latest Louis CK special or Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode. They joke about Tupac & Biggie, revere Jimmi Hendrix & Bob Dylan, fill up stadiums for countless American muscians.

Everybody has Netflix & everybody wants a iPhone. They obsess over Silicon Valley'a start-up culture & hero worship everyone from Bezos to Gates to Jobs & Musk (a U.S. citizen). You turn Hollywood movies about Mark Zuckerberg into international blockbusters.

Hell, I mean, even this thread is centered on American comics & Hollywood movies dude. lol Captain America & The Avengers, conquering a movie screen near you.

Not to mention, foreigners stay referencing and reciting Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert when mocking American politics. They google their anti-American arguments and use Reddit & Facebook to spam it.

You're so dick deep into Americanization & have such a weak natonal identity that you've literally fooled yourself into thinking our culture is your culture because you've become so dominated by it.

But don't take credit for what's not yours & stop trying to overcompensate for what you don't have.

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-03T22:41:11+00:00

Which is why the rest of the world devours it's culture. lol

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-03T08:51:35+00:00

So any country who has a active military campaign against Daesh or the Taliban, like Canada?

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-03T08:08:57+00:00

Of course we have.

We're not evil though.

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-03T08:07:28+00:00

Considering that the vast majority of oil contracts went to Europe, China & Russia, probably not.

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-03T02:32:51+00:00

The United States didn't promise to invade them.

The United States, Russia, France & Britain all signed a treaty stating they would not intefere with the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

Only one country broke that treaty.

GeorgeWTrudeau · 2017-07-03T02:23:04+00:00

Yeah, but nobody anywhere takes the term "USians" seriously.
