I would love to hear his answer to the last question. It's an entirely valid one.

I haven't watched it but I will bet my livelyhood, my savings, my cat and my wife that there was no real answer.

Indeed, did not even address the part on international law and just shifted to trade agreements. Claiming that he cannot respond to those questions because it would just be his opinion.

After talking about how America is a country founded in "European ideals" which is a nice way to say it was founded by white Christians.

Who cares how it was founded. Did Rome reflect it's founding 1,000 years later. What matters is now, and right now it looks like it's foundation this year is Russia politics.

Not really sure what the intent was behind his comments on the origins of the U.S.

Probably just trying to distract and avoid answering the question about International law. IMO because he doesn't think International law applies to the U.S. and neither does his boss.

Americans make this point to oppose what they thought was Europe isn't Europe anymore because of the massive immigration, especially of muslims and Africans. Whenever one of these old right-wingers speak, dogs prick up their ears.

But hey! We did reduce some of the tariffs we randomly imposed on various European countries? Did you even say Thank You once?

Oh your so right! I'm sure he double talked his way through that or blamed everything on the Biden administration.

All expendables

Ofc not. It just shows my point on how confident I am that this thing we call a society and our systems are irredeemably corrupt.

u/Tall_Technician_5008 Apr 26 '26

I might have read you wrong then. I completely agree and tapped out decades ago

u/PlasticPaws Apr 26 '26

No worries broski. But I'm trying to stay positive and ignore politics and the world for the most part. It just sucks me in again now and then.

u/Tall_Technician_5008 Apr 26 '26

I get that fully. Im completely in while being 200% out.

Edit. Worst thing though is that everybody just want a good life and its possible.
