Ok, I generally have a low opinion of lemmings, but I thought even you dumbshits would have figured this out by now. Let me spell it out for you:
CLAIMING THAT A PLACE'S CITIZENS ARE UNDER EXTERNAL THREAT IS A VERY COMMON PRETEXT FOR INVASION. IT IS LITERALLY EXACTLY THE EXCUSE RUSSIA USED IN UKRAINE. WHEN THE INVASION BEGINS, THE US WILL BE CLAIMING IT IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE OF GREENLAND.
Vance doesn't believe this shit. No one believes this shit. He doesn't expect anyone to believe this shit. He is publicly signaling to the world that the US is actively preparing to seize Greenland by force.
Who said Vance believes this? Most comments on this post are implying or outright stating that Greenland actually needs protection from the USA, not any other boogeyman. You're arguing against a strawman.
The context of this post is not even about the statements from Vance anyway, it's about pointing out the constant hypocrisy - Vance was just complaining about Zelensky not wearing a suit and heres Vance, wearing casual clothing at an official international press statement.
But hey, your shouting, insulting and complaining at the whole Lemmy community is really helping get across your point that everyone already understood anyway. iamverysmart energy.
To be fair, after reading his Signal messages: that guy really seems to swallow up his own propaganda, he really seems to be that stupid. Doesn't mean, the overall government strategy isn't exactly as described, could just be that Shady Vance is not in on the joke or he also needed to pretend for some others in that chat
That was the wildest part of that leak is seeing that his public and private personas are identical. I'm not sure if that's comforting or terrifying to know
Which is missing the goddamn point. It's not regular garden variety standard MAGA hypocrisy, it's a causus belli.
Nah. The image screenshot is asking 'where is his suit' and OP is referring to it also. The fact you wanna go off on everyone about a tangential issue and say they're missing the point is some cool irony though.
Also, casus belli is an act or event used to justify a war - that's not happened here, this is rhetoric only. You are probably thinking of jus ad bellum.
Who exactly are you shouting at, as if everything you're saying isn't obvious as day?
Angrily shouting something that everyone knows to be true while insulting them for not knowing the thing they actually know.
Yeah you're a real genius there bud
Someday they'll log off and touch grass instead of calling everyone around them the weirdo, when they're the one no one likes.
I miss when they were offline for a few months after the election. I think they're just here to cause people to think every hardcore democrat is this insuffferable.
Major sarcasm/irony on that, mind you.
Well, duh? Who do you think doesn't know that?
