Had to go to look for new sugar daddy as Vlad is not able to pay the bills anymore.

It’s a really weird flex, but it’s clearly an excuse to try and coverup the fact that the US doesn’t have enough munitions, equipment, or soldiers to hold full scale exercises with since they’ve tossed them all at brown folks in Iran.

Wonder what .ml is thinking about this

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm honestly starting to think most .mls don't mind trump. They never seem to complain about him, it's always about why the democrats are so evil and "fascist"

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

I bet if we did a Lemmy poll, it would be near unanimous. Every sane adult disapproves of Trump, but there is ample disagreement about how to solve the problem.

[–] Cosmonaut@lemmy.today -1 points 1 week ago

We dont care about trump because everyone knows he is a deranged lunatic, democrats however are cunning and smart at deceiving the masses. Thats why they should be countered more

They seem to love authoritarians, so....

[–] First_Thunder@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

On the one hand, they hate unconditionally the Americans, so thus must be bad, on the other, they love North Korea unconditionally, so it must be good

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Even though they do say they hate Americans a lot, I find that their hate is almost completely focused on the Democratic Party. You very seldom hear tankies criticising Trump and the Republicans for some reason.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But trump is destroying america from the inside, so tankies actually love him...

[–] Cosmonaut@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

thats probably the only reason to not hate trump that much, otherwise he aint that much difference from dems.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 week ago

There was an article about South Korea wanting to reestablish talks to get a final peace treaty and some of the comments were saying that "the USA wouldn't let them".

This is probably the best time since the armistice of the Korean War for North Korea to get a treaty on favorable terms. Trump would love to be able to get credit for a peace treaty to end the Korean War.

New to lemmy here, does .ml have a reputation or am I missing an inside joke of some sort? Lmao

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Yes. They are wildly disconnected from reality, and if you ever try to ground their discussions with facts they just ban you. Don’t bother interacting with them.

[–] TotallynotJessica@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's because Trump is ideologically opposed to backing up any allies unless they're punching someone he dislikes more. If Israel wasn't genociding brown people or if the gulf states didn't vibe so much with his type of capitalism, he wouldn't give a shit about them. If he can't bully you or bully others with you, you're worthless to him.

[–] medicsofanarchy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Or paying him bribes. You can buy the deaths of US soldiers from Trump in the form of cash or planes.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Oh he'd still do Israel's bidding. They've got wayyy too much kompromat on him for him not to care what they want...

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

But Trump and Jong-Un already "fell in love" several years ago! Shouldn't they just marry already? https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/09/30/trump-kim-jong-un-fell-in-love-west-virginia-rally-bts-vpx.cnn

the only south korean he likes his jensen huang.

[–] ImWaitingForRetcons@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Ironically, South Korea also wants to cut drills with the USA so as to finally and officially end the war with North Korea

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Who would think this would be happening? I’m shocked! Shocked I say!

[–] dummyboymc23@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

This would be funny if it weren't so troublesome and depressing 😓
