If Dems didn't think it was debt then maybe they should have sent weapons gifts instead of weapons loans.
Gringos might fall for the good cop bad cop shit but the rest of the world has a working memory longer than last month and we know that Dems build the bulldozer and wail when Republicans wreck shit with it.
i've always wondered if this is because of the suffering it's causes; you remember injuries that others have visited upon you, but you forget them easily if you're the one causing the injury.
The axe forgets but the tree remembers
Everyone, please report racist comments like these. There's no need to respond to them.
Just curious, how exactly is that comment racist?
Standard blue maga comment, blaming all the US's problems on foreigners, and claiming that trump is a "russian dog", and not a standard white supremacist / imperialist in the tradition of all US presidents.
But.. How is that racist?
It might be stupid, but racist? That's a stretch.
Referring to another nationality as animals is dehumanizing in contexts like this.
The same way that Nazi's blaming all of Germany's problems on "Judeo-Bolshiviks" was rascist
I did a little writeup brainstorm the other day, om which I reached the same conclusion, that "Russo/Sino-Tankieism" is to Lemmy what "Judeo-Bolshevism" was to Nazi Germany. I'm glad to see you're reading the words out of my mind
I didn't see the original comment nor do I need to, but ethnic nationalism, the 'blood and soil' kind of nationalism, seeks to forge nationality into the same framework as race. Approaching nation states from this perspective is effectively racist, inherently so.
This is compared to civic nationalism where commitment to national values matters. So one could argue that without clarification it is a stretch, but at the same time... it's usually pretty clear which version is meant.
