    Poland, Hungary. Could he really imagine that they would ever serve HIM? (and not his boss in the east)

    Austria LOL. Delusional. They dream of the swiss way.

    Italy. They may be right wing, but never that stupid.

      … we hope. People’s stupidity can be staggering. Just look at what’s been happening in MAGA land.

        Americans were only portrayed as strong and smart, like soviets socialism realism art movement portrayed soviets as strong and hard working “good” people. Nice propaganda eh.

        I mean we all grew up with those badass americans in movies and books, a huge bias IMO.

        Europeans have a huge cultural edge here IMO but I’m biased on that front ofc. We’ll see, interesting times…

        I agree, the stupidity of some people can be shocking. Just look at brexit. In Poland there are some minor voices for polexit, but for now it is ridiculed by majority. In 10-15 years imho it can change, since thanks to disinformation campaign done by russia we see that many people changed their opinion about Ukraine. It’s heartbreaking.

          It’s not only stupidity, it’s pinpoint targeted propaganda and fear-mongering at less keeeping-up-with-the-times people. It’s basically foreign countries heavy-handedly meddling in internal country matters to sow chaos and gain relative advantage.

          People will always be the weak point of any system, scapegoating them won’t fix anything, there has to be a better protection from foregin (or internal) un-democratic interferences.
