Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

A White House spokesperson put it the best, I think:

The White House spokesperson Andrew Bates, when asked about Trump’s comments, said: “Encouraging invasions of our closest allies by murderous regimes is appalling and unhinged – and it endangers American national security, global stability and our economy at home.”

What's so insane about all this is that Trump saying something like that out loud means it's now practically gospel to the vast majority of GOP voters, and might as well be official party policy.

Nato empowered litteral nazis in the highest sphere of our states and murdered socialists politicians. I know liberal jingoism is in full swing but maybe, just maybe, one must consider the economic incentive toward warmongering? My city's industry is getting back on his feet thanks to weapon sales.

If only somebody could put Trump's life at risk instead of him doing it to everyone else.

Anything to distract the US and EU away from the Middle East and North Africa.

My first thought was "which one?"

NATO their could be talking about any of Trumps comments since the first time that he announced running for president.

Trump remarks may put US and EU lives at risk

...yeah that's kinda his hobby.

Pretty sure he's getting paid for it so it's technically his job.

I mean you're talking about the guy who allowed a million Americans to die unnecessarily through his mishandling of covid so I don't think a few deaths are going to bother him.

Trump just says stuff, brain farts really, that his MAGA sycophants just lap up and suddenly approve. On day soon they will be cheering as he jerks off in public.

Europe would do well to become military self-sufficient. Of course once they are, there's not much reason to keep US forces in their territory either, so I'm not sure how much the US really wants that.

Reminds my of when Trump threatened to withdraw troops from Germany to punish them and a high-ranking military officer had to correct him and explain that the American troops are not in Germany to protect Germany but for the benefit of the US in order to support its strategic interests in the region.

Trump seems clueless on these things.

The idea that Europe isn't militarily self-sufficient is, frankly, horseshit. The US just has such an incredibly outsized military that anything will look "insufficient"

Thank you, Orange hitler, for taking the issue of Biden's age back off of the table. And just in time for the Super Bowl. Swiftforce one is on schedule. Pelosi's troublemakers are favored

Are you having a stroke or am I?

NATO comments now sucking air out of room instead of Biden age/cognitive capacity (not necessarily true, thx media); Taylor Swift Derangement Syndrome continues to bother chuds

Not really related to one another but I get it I guess

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

he's good at putting other people at risk with his words and actions
