@fingolas Would the presidency adding a Mastodon button to link to the French government's server here make Germany magically stop buying American weapons and keeping all of Europe tethered into its American dependency (as it did to Russian gas for a while)?

Of course it wouldn't make that happen. I guess we can't do ANYTHING until that is corrected, then?

@xinit @fingolas No, we can and should always DO things. But think of it as a pyramid of needs. If your house has no roof and also broken windows and you only have enough money to fix the broken windows right now, sure, do fix them. But until you build a roof, you'll still get rained on.

The original post is tonedeaf as it's coming from tonedeaf atlanticists who treated him like an apostate for years for telling them the truth. He wants to build the roof.

@Mnemosinee Thanks. On re-reading my response, I could have been a little less.

@Mnemosinee Oh no, not accusing you - I was a bit "Twittery" in my response. I try to catch that before posting :D
