I wonder if they understand how angry people are becoming here in Europe.
I wonder if they understand the risks that entails.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

"if they understand"... you frikkin kidding me? their twice elected president is a known pedo swindler and those with any sense of reason left are less numerous by the day with shootings and ICE running loose all over the place so asking Americans these days to understand or be understanding is kinda much, Putin and Xi were known assholes and Trump just kept spinning tall tales that "they bad we better" and in the end is just as bad as both of them.
Or it's a distraction for full blown war with Iran.
The "flood the zone with shit" strategy requires constant distraction. Distraction is the whole point.
The problem of course, is that although it may work on the public, it doesn't work on businesses and other governments.
So before long you're seen as unreliable, business avoids investing in your country, your allies abandon you, and your economy ends up in the toilet.
...and krasnov gets his bonus.
And that's okay, because it's paid in roubles.
The discussion should be simple: "You are not having Greenland. If you try to take it, the snow will be red with American blood, and the next guy who tries to shoot you at one of your rallies won't miss"
...and, as a bonus, our ports are closed to any goods or vessels from or to your country for 30 days. You're suspended, Mister.
You want it to be 60?
By "our", I mean NEATO's ports.
Theta greed to disagree, but to establish a working group to find a common solution.
I expect Vance and Rubio to have a bad time infront of Trump later today
But to hear the EU post-meeting meeting would be entertaining. Such laughter.
