US President Donald Trump said Friday that Russia had agreed to immediately supply more than 300,000 tonnes of diesel to US and global markets in an effort to cut fuel prices before November's midterm elections. The move marks a stunning change of policy after the US and its allies hit Russia with waves of sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine.

yup, americans you're all nazis. I don't care anymore. you've aligned yourselves with another dictator for some diesel that likely won't show up.

I absolutely LOVE how prior to all this trump bullshit americans were all about their 2A rights but now? crickets. the whole "don't tread on me" thing which ends up was actually bullshit. you're a bunch of cowards. I don't care anymore, i'm done holding my tongue. I'm sick and tired and living above a bunch of nazis.

"what do you expect us to do?" nothing. I hoped you'd have done something, ANYTHING, by now. "we have the midterms!" yeah you think this clown is going to actually allow you to gain power via voting? grow up. take back your country.

The people shouting about their 2A rights are the ones that support him.

If aligning oneself with dictators is enough to make one a Nazi, then all of Europe must be doing Sieg Heils three times a day. I have no love for America, but the holier than thou moral outrage doesn't survive a reading of 21st century EU foreign policy.

What's EU's 21st century foreign policy?

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 4 points 13 hours ago

Okay on second thoughts "EU" wasn't the best way to put that. Let me rephrase: I have no love for America, but the holier than thou moral outrage doesn't survive a reading of 21st century EU member states' foreign policy (because the EU's foreign policy tends to be pretty limited, though no less despicable). With that in mind, here's your answer:

Well for the most part whatever America is doing, which means backing American escapades in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Libya (though this one was more of a mutual collaboration), Yemen, etc off the top of my head. European countries also seem to generally have no problem with selling weapons and providing aid to brutal Middle Eastern dictators, leading to European weaponry reaching RSF hands. If you specifically want EU stuff, you have fishing in West Africa and of course the EU has a trade agreement with Israel.

NoneOfYour is probably talking about the humanitarian aid spent on war torn dictatorial countries like paying for healthcare, food, education. Often caused by US Russian proxy wars.

Or about France and UK aiding the US in their war in Irak, Or of Palestine by arguably more EU countries backing although, often innocently advertised, defence only.

you think THAT'S the only reason americans are nazis? yeah ok buddy.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 5 points 22 hours ago

That's the reason you gave, at least. If you have something better (hopefully something that actually engages with the meaning of the word "Nazi") I'm all ears.

[-] rozodru@piefed.world 3 points 20 hours ago

well gee lets see public executions, rounding up people via a gestapo, killing innocent protestors, threatening other nations soveringty, and that's just off the top of my head.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 3 points 16 hours ago

Oh the Trump regime and its supporters are definitely fascist, but as for everyone else in America not stopping fascism doesn't make one fascist; it makes one complicit (which I do agree a majority of non-fascist Americans are).

[-] Kyrias@lemmy.ca 0 points 22 hours ago

lol

Americans have always been like this.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

From the very start.

[-] rozodru@piefed.world -3 points 22 hours ago

yeah I know they have i'm just sick of it. and it's always the same song and dance "DC is a long drive from where I am" or "I have to work" etc, etc, etc.

They'll allow themselves to become Nazi's because it's an inconvenience for them otherwise.

[-] Kyrias@lemmy.ca -1 points 22 hours ago

Just laugh at them when they pretend otherwise and try to live a good life regardless.
