@mrwndrflxoxo@krassenstein You are confusing what Hitler DID in the 12 years he was in power with the signs that Trump INTENDS to rule as an autocrat and whatever that portends for the future.
They are not the same!
@mrwndrflxoxo@krassenstein Trump has been in office for no more than 70 days. Hitler was in power for 12 years. He was democratically elected like Trump. Trump's actions to date suggest that he wishes to rule as an absolute ruler. Will Congress stand up to him?
We'll have to wait and see, won't we!
@brookebay21 Israel is a settler colonial occupier of someone else's land
That is why for more than seventy years the rightful owners of Palestine have been contesting that occupation
And why they will continue till they get it back, whatever atrocities Israel commits!
@123db_GEEK@DeborahMeaden The Germans brought defeat on themselves by their arrogance
The Russians were notionally our allies but their main interest was in acquiring territory to defend the homeland
@123db_GEEK@DeborahMeaden That's exactly what happened in WWII!
The Germans got as far as the outskirts of Moscow, but Russia organised itself and drove the Germans out, invaded Germany & occupied Berlin & most of Eastern Europe for half a century!
@switchyee@DeborahMeaden They said that about the Soviet occupation of Afghanestan!
But look what happened! The Russians lost, the USSR collapsed and socialism was abandoned!
It could happen again. All that Putin has built could be swept away as the Russians turn on him!
@Secul8r@DeborahMeaden The same was said re Afghanestan!
They had a population of about 15,000,000! Much smaller than Russia!
But they won because they were prepared to die for their country!
@seanzjay@DeborahMeaden If Russia succeeded in occupying Ukraine they would probably find that their problems had only just begun!
Remember Afghanestan?
@triffic_stuff_@DeborahMeaden After 3 years of war Russia has gained only 20% of Ukrainian territory, and that has a large Russian component.
Don't forget: Putin thought he would subdue Ukraine in a few days!
So, how can he possibly regard his assault as a success? He has to keep going or be overthrown!
@Jonathan_K_Cook Israel knowingly violated the ceasefire agreement with Hamas for domestic political reasons
According to Amos Harel this was to entice Itamar Ben Gvir and his cronies back into the government, passing the budget and stabilising the coalition
@nicolawoolcock@UniofOxford Antisemitism means hostility to Jews
Anti Israel ism means criticism of Israel
Many Jews are critical of Israel
Does that make them antisemitic
I look forward to your reply

@Awesome_Jew_ Hamas killed at most a few hundred people
Israel has killed nearly 50,000, mostly innocent civilians including a large number of women and children
So, who is the terrorist?
@Angie_RejoinEU@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Zelensky is a war hero!
Trump is a draft dodger!
I would pipe down if I were you!
The King might remember this inconvenient fact and think again!
@DeborahMeaden Trump finds Ukraine difficult to deal with because he lacks the empathy to grasp another person's point of view
Trump is a narcissist whose main interest is in being the centre of attention. When someone disagrees with him he cannot understand it
Poor Trump! Empathy is so hard!
@WhiteHouse@POTUS America is at its best when it plays a constructive role in world affairs
It is least effective when it becomes introspective, regards itself as a victim and starts whining
President Trump will inflict terrible damage on your country if he is allowed to carry on as he is doing!
