    Does this imply that if trump had said that Nato was great, then the Europeans would had hepled him with his illegal invasion and genocide of the people of Iran?

      The fuck is wrong with you? It’s making fun of him for deriding something and then immediately being angry that NATO, the useless thing we don’t need, didn’t help.

      You’re fishing for drama by missing the point of “trump is a buffoon”.

        I’m just asking a question; If the buffoon had propped up nato and then decided to bomb little girls in Iran; Would that be acceptable or inacceptable? Also does that question make you feel uncomfortable?

          If he had praised them and then did it, it simply would have made this joke not work.

          does that question make you feel uncomfortable?

          No? Seriously. You’re fishing for drama and cognitive dissonance where there just isn’t any.

      I’m curious: as an imbecile, do you generally find the world to be a confusing and frightening place?

        Maybe you are the one who finds me confusing and frightening, that is the reason you need to call me an imbecile ;) But you haven’t answered my question; Is genocide acceptable by an orange man that is an “ally”?

      No, it does not. It is called a strawman, one of the favourite “arguments” of tankies alongside whataboutism.

        And if he had said nato was awesome then this ongoing genocide would be justified? The past killings make the current killings good? And how many people will have to die until the imperialists pigs are satisfied?
