      I’ve perceived that things have never been better for American international order than under Trump/Biden.

      The last few cycles have been a weird time for NATO, as the escalating Russian aggression revitalised the alliance, but the unreliability of Trump vastly diminished the status of the US. Europe is now actively trying to get out of the military subordinate role.

          IDK what your point is. NATO being revitalized is not a “good thing” that makes us live nicer. NATO and rearmament is a fever, Russian imperialism is the sickness.

          NATO is not an economic alliance, it’s a military one. The sole goal of NATO is keeping Russian soldiers outside NATO members’ territories. And as someone whose home country has suffered immensely under Russian occupation, seeing Russia draw troops down from the Finnish border right after they joined the alliance makes me happy that we are NATO members.

          Europe wouldn’t be doing better outside NATO, it has no bearing on economics. Trade disruption with Russia certainly has to do with it, but ironically that’s because during the 00s and the 10s Europe extended a friendly hand to Russia, and got into deep trading entanglements with it, which Russia tried to exploit to force geopolitical concessions.

              What the actual heck are you talking about?

              NATO has no bearing on the European economic situation while admitting in the next breath it has huge implications for energy prices due to trade with Russia.

              Energy prices went up since Russia is conducting a military invasion on the country transiting said energy, and as a result of EU/US sanctions that are the result of war crimes, crimes of aggression and genocide. The only thing NATO does currently is ensure that can’t spill over to more countries being attacked. NATO didn’t do jack shit yet. Individual countries, and the EU, did.

              and your countrymen have been calling me blind drunk screaming about how they have no money

              Our countrymen should look for their money at Hatvanpuszta or Mészáros & Mészáros. Russian puppet Orbán stole all the money and the future of the country, Russian puppet Orbán made it impossible to have children, get sick, or die, with dignity, he is responsible for producing the highest real estate inflation, the highest food inflation in the EU, and it’s all because he’d rather take Russian cock to his throat than have less corruption kickbacks.

              A ruszkik meg igazán hazamehetnének végre és foglalkozhatnának a saját országukkal ahelyett hogy mongol módjára fosztogatnak és erőszakolnak nyugatra.

                  the sanctions and Nord Stream bombing.

                  I wonder what might have caused that. Not a genocidal fascist Russia, right?

                  I won’t try to press you to use logic regarding how US energy companies benefit.

                  It’s a shit situation, but still better than genocide.

                  You just started venting your Orbán Derangement Syndome.

                  Nice to see you using the same lingo as the American fascists, you know the ones that support an additional genocide in the Middle East as well as the one Russia is perpetrating.

                  Blackrock will take the world you intended for your children from you.

                  Thanks, but Orbán already took it and sold most of it to Russians. Not much left to steal anymore.

                    That’s really not true brother. 😅 You have so much more to lose. Don’t say you weren’t warned. You begged for the Western financial class to enact more punitive measures that you just acknowledged are contributing to an energy and cost of living crisis in Europe. You can lose so much more than cheap heating in the winter. So much more.

                    Slava Ukraini. Oh no, I just jokingly repeated the words of fascists. 🤣
