      As a European, it has been quite something to see how no European leader seems to have the slightest fucking backbone. While we mock Trump for making these demands, it’s actually not that wild to imagine they’ll be complied with.

      Obviously it’s less about backbone and more about “war huh? That could mean profits, embezzlement money, and an excuse to tighten down on protest…” cap-think

        they had plenty of backbone when called to arm ukraine and sanction russia and sanction iran and all that.

        you gotta face it, this is what european leaders WANT. they’re living their best lives, serving the empire and helping it murder a lot of kids.

          Honestly, most Europeans probably entirely agree with the politicians and think it’s the “proper” moral thing to do with all the propaganda over the last (at least) 75 years. Everybody’s entirely libbed up (in the best case, or straight up conservative/xenophobic/nationalist).
