Fixed Elon's meme

I'm always surprised at myself how surprised I am at Muskrats stupidity.
Geeting guarantees about the train not starting again is a pretty big and reasonable thing. Especially since it probably wouldn't even be years...
So even when he tries to make somebody else the victim of a joke, he just reveals how stupid he is.
It's not stupidity, it's targeted propaganda. He knows what he was doing
The stupidity to be amazed at are the morons who still believe him
What does it take for you to stop thinking he knows what he's doing?
He's is clearly a very stupid and selfish person and what he is doing isn't a lie because he believes it because he cannot believe he has ever been wrong.
This is like thinking your dog shit on the carpet again on purpose. It's just a dog and it just needed to shit. The rest is anthropomorphism.
The more you think like this the more you underestimate him. It's dangerous. There's a reason he seems to be running the white house more than trump these days
Because he bought his seat and benefits from it financially and emotionally. This idea that it's 4d chess needs to end.
It's not 4d chess, it's regular 2d chess
It's checkers but three guys own all the checkerboards and the machines that make them.
And whilst the train is stopped the opposition could rig it to go even faster when it's next turned back on meaning it'll soon catch up and exceed where it would've been if it just kept going
If Russia stops fighting, there’s no more war. If Ukraine stops fighting, there’s no more Ukraine.
*If Russia stops fighting, there’s no more war for now.
If they win they know they can get away with it. And will start more wars. Why would they stop the Nazis didn't stop in ww2 after capturing Poland. Romania probably would be Russias the next target.
This! Surrender a country to feed the hunger for growth of another country never worked in history.
My guess would be Moldova or another round at Georgia
Always sad to see obvious propaganda.
"Bow to us or it's your fault we'll kill you."
Like, it's literally fucking "stop hitting yourself" but with war. It's disgusting.
Who do you think he paid to make this for him? The same guy that plays his video games?
Paid!? Hahahahaha. Ol' Musky probably got one of his interns to do it.
His DOGE kids 😆
Amazing. Like it starts on its own.
Wouldn't this critique also fit with OP's post?
Edit: not trying to excuse anyone. Just stating that wars don't happen because one guy feels like it.
Uh, the war in Ukraine absolutely happened because one guy felt like it.
Ok, if you think so. I'm afraid that the politics of the real world is a bit more complex than "Putin is a Supervillain and must be stopped by ~~the avengers~~ NATO.
Nobody thinks he's a supervillain. He's am egotistical asshole with power.
But he needs to be stopped and gtfo Ukraine.
People act as if he's a supervillain. The other person literally said that the war is happening "because he felt like it". How is that not supervillain logic? How does that not abstract away that Putin acts in the political interest of a national state?
I'm not trying to argue for sympathy for that asshole. I just want people to think a teensy bit about the fact that states do things out of political calculations and interests. Not because one guy "feels like it".
It seems you are the one arguing he's a super villain, not the rest. And don't you dare argue Doom is not a supervillain because he does things "out of political calculations and interests".

How quickly people forget it's called Putins "war of choice" for a reason.
What reason is that exactly, then?
The fact that Putin is the one who started this war? This war wouldn't be a thing if a) Russia didn't annex Crimea, b) Russia didn't send "totally not Russian troops" into Donbas and c) Russia didn't do a full invasion of Ukraine. Not to mention this war would be over tomorrow if Putin withdrew his troops.
Putin started this and Putin can end this, it's all his choice.
So... any idea why "Putin" supposedly did all that?
I'm not asking for justifications. It's just so weird to me that people apparently think that
- Putin does what he wants in Russia as if he was an absolute monarch. (Yes, the elections were iffy, but he has a lot of support in Russia and the Duma still exists)
- Putin doesn't need any reason to make Russia do things. (Nations don't do shit without reason)
And the moment I'm trying to understand the situation a bit better, I'm called a Putin troll, a fascist and get downvoted into oblivion.
So... any idea why "Putin" supposedly did all that?
Euromaidan. Russian-aligned leader got kicked and in its place was taken by a pro-EU government. Putin lost control over Ukraine and that was unacceptable to him.
Putin does what he wants in Russia as if he was an absolute monarch. (Yes, the elections were iffy, but he has a lot of support in Russia and the Duma still exists)
But he does? His opposition either magically disappears or suddenly don't qualify for the election. The other "suitable" electoral candidates exists solely to keep the up the appearance of democracy. The Duma also exists to keep up appearances. And the reason Putin has a lot of support is because he has manufactured consent through the state owned media. He's also sowing indifference in the opposition by publicly eliminating opponents to indicate that this is what happens if you oppose him. He is ruling unopposed.
Putin doesn't need any reason to make Russia do things. (Nations don't do shit without reason)
What do you mean? Trump is literally slapping tariffs on its neighbors and nobody is stopping him. If you have an autocratic leader the state does what the leader wants. Putin wants to regain control of Ukraine and that's the only reason the Russian state needs.

Putin is a geriatric, history-revising madman who thinks he should be the tzar of the Soviet Union. He has been an autocrat for too long, has had only yes-men around him for more than two decades, and his head is simply too far up his ass. He has lost all grasp on reality.
It really is that simple. The world would be a better place without Putin and his cronies. There would be less violence in the world without Russia. What meaningful except for terror and fear has Russia exported in the past decade? Two?
Right.
Enough with the false equivalences, this war is unilaterally Russia's fault. Russia is a rabid dog, bleeding out and trying to take down everything with it.
[...] who thinks he should be the tzar of the Soviet Union
Sorry, I can't take you ser after that display of utter historical ignorance/stupidity.
Your stance wouldn't be too far off from "Jeder Schuss ein Russ"
My stance isn't very far off for all Russian soldiers in Ukraine and Putin, as well as anyone affiliated with him.
If you're talking about there being no tzars in the Soviet Union: Obviously. It's a figure of speech. The actual point went riiiiight over your head, Sherlock.
"No, I didn't say anything stupid! You're the stoopid one for not getting it"
Aaaand we're at dehumanizing Russians... great... /s

I have a hitch that the reason they don't want to give security guarantees is to not only please Putin, who wants to take us back to the era of territorial conquests, but also to use it even more as a leverage against Ukraine. You can just force them to do away with every job safety, to sell of their health care and transform it into the same horrible mess the US has, to dismantle their education system for cheap labor for the mines, or else the tanks are going in the country and Ukrainians will get tortured to death again for not speaking Russian.
Bring Wolodimir in a situation in which he has the control... Send more weapons...
While communicating this to the constituency: "my people, it is not a tram or a trolley as in other such trolley problems, it is just a lever that I must pull for the benefit of akk of our futures. It comes with great savings an a satisfying crunch!"
I didn’t have Twitter before Elon and I don’t have the energy to start now.
What was the original?
