Netanyahu is also Merz’s daddy.

    What the fuck?

    They seem content to inform the rest of the world that they like to gurgle the combined balls of the group of narcissistic idiots who currently are speedrunning the 4th Reich from the white house.

    If they are this brazen with it we’re probably about to go into what seriously could be a modern recreation of the dark ages.

      What would you do? With russia being an active threat, with Ukraine desperately needing supplies, with the EU replacing russian gas with US gas, etc., etc., what would you do in this situation, while knowing that the guy who ordered the attack is a malignant narcissist with dementia?

        I know I wouldn’t try to appease someone who clearly doesn’t give a fuck either way. Someone needs to tell him to fuck off for a change, I bet he’d be confused for a solid 24 hours afterwards.

        Granted, I live right next door to Russia, and as such have less to fear from the US than most.

          That doesn’t work on malignant narcissists.

          Check out this video interview (and here is a short with “the gist of it”) with a psychologist who explains what malignant narcissism means in the context of Trump.

            Not in the long run. It’d be interesting to see how he’d react in the moment.

            He’s a malignant narcissist for sure, but he’s also in severe mental decline at this point. He’s also not used to getting bullied, although there’s some of that from his childhood buried down there as well.

            He might not react like you’d think due to those two factors alone.

              The fact that he has dementia works as a disadvantage for the sane world.

              People with dementia often react with anger and violence when they get confused. So, it’s not “his malignant narcissism being restrained by his dementia”, it’s “his malignant narcissism is being boosted by his dementia”.

              He knows as well as anybody that the US’ military power is unprecedented and unstoppable. There’s literally nothing the EU could do if the US decides to take Greenland by force, so the only hope we have is to placate him until midterms, and pray to all the gods that the Democrats win a sweeping victory.

                Never said he’d be restrained, especially after he’s done processing to whatever degree he’s able to. Anyway, it was a thought experiment, nobody is going to tell him to fuck off until it’s too late. Everyone will be too busy “placating” him.

                I wonder how your scenario plays out if they decide you don’t really need midterms, or more presidents for that matter? Just a dictator, and when that old fuck dies who do you think will take over? The couchfucker? Not likely, he’s even more of an idiot.

                It’s likely that a strong EU or whatever is left of NATO after ya’ll fuck off is the only hope for a chance in hell for some kind of peace somewhere on the globe for a little while more.

                  If it becomes a full on totalitarianism and there’s no civil war, we’re plain and simple fucked.

                  I can’t stress this enough: there’s no military power anywhere near the level that US military is on.

                  For context: the top four most powerful air forces on the planet are:

                  1. US Air Force
                  2. US Navy
                  3. US Army
                  4. US Marines

                  And then China.

                  They’re so fucking OP it’s not even funny.

                    Those four are still composed of messy human elements. You can kill your own civilian population for sure, but then you have no nation anymore. I also highly doubt everyone in all your military and espionage branches are willing to start gassing people without any armed resistance.

                    I mean, good luck with that.

                    You keep thinking in black or white while reality is usually not that simple.
