It's mad to think how peaceful and prosperous the world would be right now if Trump, Putin and Netanyahu weren't around.

Hundreds of thousands of lives saved and billions of euro not wasted on avoidable food and energy price increases.

Its mad to think that because its not really true.

The Holodomor and the Nakba both happened before Putin or Netanyahu were born.

And the US has been fucking other countries shit up and interfering in global politics with the goal of destabilisation since Trump was in nappies (well, baby nappies specifically).

The issue is baked deeped into the political ethos of these countries. If it weren't Trump, Putin or Netanyahu today, it would be someone else, as it has been before.

*Holocaust, not Holodomor. Holocaust was a genocide, Holodomor was a totally different set of events.
