Christian "Schuldenbremse" Lindner. No money for education, public transport and energy investments but the feeding the war machine is completely within budget.

"Finally the German war machine is up and running again." What do you guys think? Is this commenter a fascist or lib?

OK. This might be satire, actually. Sorry for doubting you comrade o7

While he's there in Ukraine, he should do a tour of those minefields. That's where this German equipment and the German-trained soldiers are going, seems only fair for him to see the the blooming landscapes he helped create.

I see the tankies are out in full force today. Maybe you should enlist for your favorite dictator instead of spewing bullshit online

He materially supports sending unwilling conscripts to their deaths. I advocate against this, but I'm the one that should be on the front line?

Russia should stop the war and it would stop. But that's not what you advocated.

gnuhaut@lemmy.ml · -9 pts · 3y

I'm pretty sure the war would stop if we marched our politicians into mine fields.

Or maybe we are just prepared to support the Ukraine in beating these war mongering, pillaging motherfuckers back to where they belong and also recognize that it might take some time.

But of course it's all a conspiracy to feed money into our MIC

Guess he has read 1984?

Not that it matters since this is such a different scenario.

Assange quoted Orwell in the context of Afghan war. Full video.

Assange is paid by the Kremlin

Assange is just a person who cares about freedom of the press, going on these red-scare witch-hunts is going to blow back in peoples faces sooner rather than later because we already went through this before

Also promoting countries that have worse human rights abuses than Russia is not a winning strategy, 20% of Germans now believe in far-right candidates, something that Germany hasn't seen since 1933, and that's a serious issue that needs to be addressed, not brushed under the rug

Everyone who disagrees with me is a Poopin puppet 🤡🤡

Even the propaganda outlets like nytimes, amnesty and countless organisations arguing against Assange's extradition are Pootin puppets.

Have some shame you effin troll
