US Vice President JD Vance has called on European states to show greater independence, urging them not to be US "vassals." He also said EU governments could have done more to oppose Washington over the Iraq War.

Agreed. Europe should have also done more to stop two world wars.

Maybe Trump should prosecute the war criminals responsible.

The Russia tactics again, I see. Do terrible war crime, blame others for not stopping you.

What a bunch of clowns.

Why the fuck is VP Bowman ranting about the war his ol' bush started? Is he trying to fuck the memory of what happened, like the couch no one wants to use in the oval office?

Shady Vance is now being told to do revisionist history. I'm excited to hear what he's told to say next.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Easily the most underrated moment of the election was when the sofa-king Shady Vance said that the US has the "cleanest energy economy in the world." On stage! On television!

That's not even revisionist, it's just straight double think. Decades of holding the nation back in an outdated dirty energy economy, from Reagan ripping solar panels off the white house roof to Trump ripping EV chargers out of federal parking lots.

Decades of fighting any and all clean energy initiatives and they just... pretend it never happened. Gaslit the country into thinking that we already accomplished all of the progress that they personally prevented. The progress that we still desperately need to this day.

“Krasnov pawn works harder to destabilize the west”

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago

Are they going to rename the freedom fries to vassal fries now?

The cognitive dissonance of this guy is unbelievable.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So, is he seriously telling other countries not to just blindly go along with whatever the US tells them to do, but instead to resist and stand up for themselves?

And Trump is ok with this messaging? Hmmm.

It’s online with divisive rhetoric meant to drive US isolationism

"The Iraq war"

Is like saying

"The world war"

Which one?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

They mean the one where President Bush and his administration used propaganda to create support for an invasion that caused death, destruction and massive gains for the military industry.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So now he is saying dont fall in line and please retaliate to our bs?

So he does have a humiliation kink?

"It hurt me to harm those people"

[–] [email protected] 42 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh yeah, that time the USA kept lying about weapons of mass destruction found there and Washington not liking being called out by almost everyone.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago

"I don't know why you keep going on about our current lies, you assholes should have kept called us out for our past lies. But only now, not back then when we were lying with those lies. What I mean is.... ok: see we lied in the past, but you definitely were jerks for not believing those then. Now; I know we renamed French fries to freedom fries in a frothing defense of our "good lies" back then, and I know back then we insisted it was the truth, but now they were bad lies and HAVE YOU EVEN THANKED ME YET FOR TALKING TO YOU ABOUT THIS!?"
