Why haven't Europeans learned anything from WW2?

[choie]

It's just incredible to me that some of the head of these governments who were victims of Hitler and the German terror machine are too scared to stand up to this miscreant. Why has Carney agreed to participate in the "Board of Peace"? Why is Macron hemming and hawing. What happened to moral courage and strength in numbers? It is absolutely a travesty that they are not heeding the lessons of the 30's and 40's.

1. I'm guessing that Carney

wants to ensure that there's some sanity at the table. His voice might get drowned out, but he can plot with others to try to control some aspects of what ensues, or sound the alarm right away if things go off the rails.

Rock and a hard place.

[choie]

4. Yeah, thats always worked with trump.

[True Dough]

5. Actually, Trump has been known to be swayed by all kinds of people

He has, at times, sung the praises of Zelenskyy and Mamdani after meeting with them. He can be influenced by whoever is in his ear last because he's not a strong independent thinker.

[choie]

7. You really think he's been influenced

by Zelenskyy and Mamdani? What, maybe first the first 10 minutes. But there's no proof that it lasts longer than that. He has no moral compass whatsoever.

10. Yep. Just Until His Vladdy Sets Him Straight.

2. Why haven't Americans learned anything from the Civil War?

[bdamomma]

3. or any other

wars that the US participated in. Who's next Greenland??? Cause the overgrown toddler did not get his Nobel Peace Prize??? If he goes into Greenland that's invasion.

11. Because We're Still Fighting It, Darn Pres. Andrew Johnson's Hide.....

SHOULD HAVE HANGED JEFFERSON DAVIS.

6. You are misinformed

Unless something has changed in the last couple of hours, Carney hasn’t committed to pay the 1 billion for a seat on Trump’s Board of Peace.

And Macron has firmly declined Trump’s invitation, and is spearheading the move to activate the EU’s “anti-coercion trade bazooka”.

I’m not sure where you got the notion that Europeans weren’t standing up to Trump,

[Initech]

8. And the PM of Denmark has said that Denmark and NATO will go to war with Trump to protect Greenland.

I also heard the PM of Germany say that they would cut off their support for US military bases on US soil.

[Fiendish Thingy]

9. Yeah, no wishy-washiness from European leaders that I can see

Well, the Fascist Meloni is exhibiting “diplomatic patience”, but otherwise, most of leaders are in the process of getting their political, economic and military ducks in a row for an effective coordinated response to whatever comes next.

12. Perhaps some are trying to tiptoe

around El Sicko hoping to get through these four years without igniting the lunatic with nuclear codes. They know he's dangerous.
