I am truly worried about the situation in Germany, I hope really that some of those who were deceived by AfD have seen Vance's gross play this week and they have noticed, I do not know how the polls are right now but I really hope that all this have moved them against AfD

Liz Truss giving advice on power is a joke in itself
Zelenskyy is a shell of a human being, and so are Trump and Putin
You're not criticizing things about Zelenskyy that are worth criticizing; you're equating him to Putin, putting the aggressor and the victim on the same level, and you do it with the obvious intention to minimize Putin's faults. You're not adding nuance to a leader or contextualizing things; you're simply implying that the one who has invaded and violated a country's sovereignty is the same as the one defending against it.
I'm not going to respond to you again because you're making a fool of yourself if you think this is going anywhere. But if you wanted to have a serious conversation about what Ukraine could or couldn't have done differently (Ukraine, not Zelenskyy, who has been in office since 2019, when Russia already had everything ready, not since 2014), you'd have to start by understanding that Russia is the aggressor, that Putin is an imperialist, and that nothing others do will change that.
Oh, come on. Fine, I'll put it in writing if you need it.
The first step in the oldest playbook in the business says: if the leader you want to defend (or the company, or the country, it doesn’t matter) does something so obviously wrong that it’s indefensible, make the rival look the same. It doesn’t matter how, it doesn’t matter how much, just muddy the playing field.
Putting Putin and Zelenskyy on the same level is exactly that, and it’s damn transparent to anyone with half a functioning brain.
The politics of getting intentionally incomplete games to add DLC's and squeeze more to the players does not help. The Civ VII is clearly incomplete and we all know it, within perhaps two years, there will not be all the things that the company already knows that the game needs.
Of course, everything can be given a different interpretation, but what he literally said is there.
You can also think if the confederates just wanted more power for the states or if the Nazis just wanted to recover German pride, But neither the South politicians nor those of Germany from the thirties, normally receive the benefit of the doubt, why should the MAGA?
Oh is fine, I rectify what I said, this photo does not represent most of the Americans, represent the majority of the Americans who care about something, the rest do not care about shit.
Dude, look at the election results from not a year ago. Some guy showed up saying you wouldn't have to vote again and he got more votes than everyone else. Do you need polls on this?
At best, the sum of those who are in favor of overthrowing democracy and those who don't care is overwhelming.
That's even worse. A person who doesn't want democracy is a bad thing, but an idiot who destroys it trying to protect it is much more dangerous. The first one can be reasoned with, the second one is too stupid.
In any case, my point is the same, whether intentional or accidental, the people who do not accept democracy in America are the majority today and that photo represents them.
Trump's friendship with Putin is not fresh news and American voters have not given a shit
In Iran there are also people who love democracy, but I am sorry to say that, just like in America, they are a minority.
Didn't Vance's speech the other day hurt the AfD? Didn't it make some people deluded by their supposed "patriotism" wake up and see that we were all sold out to the Russians?
I am not German and I do not know the reality on the street in Germany, but I am scared of what could happen and how it will affect the European project.
