I thought we learned about 80 years ago that appeasement does not work
We also learned that Nazism doesn’t go well, but apparently we can only maintain these lessons for one or two generations.
We had a good run.
Why is France consistently the only country with a spine in here?
They have nukes.
So does Britain but I guess they aren’t in the EU
That, and France also has an economy.

Always has been, thanks to Gaullist “strategic autonomy”. The cocky old man has been proven so incredibly right these last few years.
Isn’t it just talk when it comes to Macron’s gov’t?
So many people, businesses, and countries have given Trump BJs to stay in his favour and all it does it show him he can come back and bully them again for more.
But I’m sure it’ll work out this time.
I did most of my growing up in the 1970s, where the universal parental advice to every single child who was bullied was, “The only way to stop a bully is to stand up to him.”
Like so many other things Gen-X was taught in our childhood, I now believe it was just a hollow lie. Maybe my parents repeated it without realizing it was one, like so many others.
That is the only way to deal with them. Problem is all the “both sides” bullshit in schools now where both the bully and the kid trying to stop his lunch getting stolen get punish equally. It’s changed how people think you’re supposed to deal with an aggressor.
Thanks, good point, I think I just had a subconscious need to take a sideswipe at the reality that, had the US I was taught about in school not been a fabrication, we would not today be in the circumstances we are in.

He’ll be tossing them out windows like Putin eventually
It’s not been ratified yet. Time to put pressure on our MPs.
How?
Write, email, telephone- whatever works best for you.
How do I identify them correctly? Is there a site? I’ve not had much luck in this
I suppose it could be a bit like a union deal no? The negotiators have a tentative agreement and then would the members ratify it? (Would members in this case European nations or representatives in parliament or something else? I’m unsure.)
Every fucking time man
Van Der Leyen is a corrupted piece of shit
Yeah let’s not listen to this piece of shit, or this piece of shit government, okay?
For once I agree with this asshole of child abuser defender.
I agree, fuck trimp.
