Just as a bit of context:

  • Willy Wimmer is a German former Bundestag member, who is massivly into conspiracy theories and at this point far right
  • Michael Flynn was one of the contacts between Trump and the Russian government. He plead guilty to that
  • Cyril Svoboda was one of the guys who gave Voices of Europe an interview in which he supported Russias position on Ukraine. Voices of Europes interviews were paid and used as a way to finance the far right in Europe using Russian money. It is currently under EU sanctions. His former party has distanced themself from him, due to his ties to Russia.
  • Emir Kusturica is a Serbia film director, who makes propaganda films and has far right pro Russian positions. His wife is well his wife.

The rest are obviously all Russian politcal figures and well Jill Stein. The photo was also taken at a Russia Today celebration. Just saying.

The Bin Laden group is currently working on building the tallest building in the world in Saudi Arabia right now.

This is key. The narrative: "The right wing takes away your workers rights and blaims migrants on it" actually works to convince other people, since it is in fact true.

Lemmygrad and Heybear both defederated from other lemmy instances. It is deliberatly its own little network. Both used to be reddit communites, with a long list of enemies for being tankies, so they like the isolation. Other then that I bet lemmy.ml has a lot of the same userbase.

The Brazilian Gripens were $86million per plane. Sweden just gave Ukraine a $400million military aid package. They are also an EU member and that allows them to use EU military funds for EU made weapons. So you probably could get 10planes or so going to Ukraine.

Obviously weapons matter as well, but those are not Swedish made, but German and American. No reason the US can not finance some Sidewinders for Ukraine for example.

There are a lot of people, who do not care about politics at all and maybe just go and vote in the next election. Please do not underestimate how little the average voter cares.

We failed to prevent climate change, but it can get a lot worse. It is a bit like claiming we should stop build houses, because we have not prevented homelessness.

Not just Russia and Saudi, but also Iran and Venezuela.

Oh and hurting those producers helps the US economy as it is an oil and gas exporter.

At the same time lowering the US oil and gas consumption can solve that problem too.
