The "Solo Savior" narrative coming from Trump regarding WWII is exhausting.
He completely erases the heroism of the British (🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🇦🇺 🇳🇿 🇮🇳 🇿🇦), who stood alone in the darkest hour. They paid an unimaginable price in blood to hold the line long before the US decided to enter the fray. Churchill didn't negotiate; he endured so that freedom could survive.
It is deeply tragic how quickly the US is transforming into a volatile and contemptuous rogue state.
@StefanAlvemo I live in London and I think of this picture when I hear the news of Russia's attacks on Kyiv.
The Americans never saw the consequences of WWII in their lives, but we in Europe live it everyday, ....the hell is some Coward child rapist going to lecture us about ANYTHING!#Trump #London #Kyiv #WWII #WWIII #Trump #EUPOL #UKPOL #UKPOLITICS

You're right. They don't care anyway.
We must focus on building alliances with like-minded friends who actually stand up for each other instead. -

@StefanAlvemo For the record, while Britain stood alone, that included the British Empire and Commonwealth, as Britons at the time knew well.

@mpjgregoire
Fair point. For me, 'British' in this context inherently includes the Empire and Commonwealth forces as they stood as one entity.
But you are absolutely right to make it explicit for the record—their contribution was indispensable. -

But most poignant of all are the German cemetaries where about 1 in 10 gravestones bear the Star of David. Jews who gave their lives for the Fatherland. A land that rewarded their families with extermination within a generation.

Everyone who fought the Nazis was heroic, not just the UK. I'd say the UK had it better overall - home was out of Nazi reach aside from the blitzed cities, only Jersey was ever occupied but of course ships were torpedoed & millions killed in battle, air force almost destroyed.
But our women weren't raped in their millions, people weren't starved & imprisoned, our land wasn't destroyed.
Churchill was the right asshole in the right place at the right time, luckily.

@Lazarou @StefanAlvemo my mum’s earliest memories are sitting in air raid shelters (south London) and hearing bombs drop. Trump and his handlers/bootlickers can fuck right off.

@StefanAlvemo Trump’s ignorance is exceeded only by his arrogance.

They keep putting Randy out in the woods by himself, and he should not be out in the woods by himself. It's yoga bro abuse.

@quinta quel "chissà se" mi suona troppo ottimistico
Come di chi si aspetta che le cose vadano a posto, come "prima"
Chissà comeNo, non ne abbiamo assolutamente idea se torneranno, e certamente non come prima
E non è una critica personale, è che molti sono abituati a guardare le cose da lontano, con distacco
Come chi si fa un selfie di fronte a un tornado che ci investe
Ed è questo che non mi fa essere ottimista
Molti, la maggioranza, si sta godendo lo spettacolo, bello o brutto che sia

Cadaveri e macerie in mare per cancellare l'orrore: benvenuti nella nuova Gaza
Il piano visionato da “Avvenire” prevede di inabissare i detriti per ottenere un nuovo litorale (il doppio di Rimini). Tra le rovine anche armi e corpi. E fondi per allontanare 400mila gazawi

@virtuous_sloth @mcc I am sorry, I do not recall. But it must be possible to search for here on Mastodon, because it was discussed extensively.
