I saw irony in this: "We will end this dependence [on Russian oil, coal and gas] as quickly as we can, but to do that from one day to the next would mean plunging our country and all of Europe into a recession."

Russia is much better positioned for the long economy war ATM, especially with their backers across the Artic trade routes down to SE China and India. RU/China/India have the resource, production, and functional government over populations massively larger than top Western countries. The Wests leverage is the IP and technical edge, but you can't implement top tech without raw resources. US could pivot and extract and produce again, those FED mineral reserve maps are rich, and our CA north neck brothers love to mine.

I dont know enough to comment on this either. any sources ?

And in case you missed what he was trying to say with his dumb picture spam, the best example of Nazi he could find in the entire American political system was a candidate who wrote himself in for an unopposed Republican primary in an election the Republicans weren't contesting, getting on the ballot by default but then losing by over 47 points as the Republicans campaigned against him and explicitly supported the Democrat. The actual party ran a full page ad titled "Say No To The Nazi". That's his comparison to examples like the Mayor of Konotop, the guy elected by the pro-Nazi party on a pro-Nazi platform by the overwhelmingly pro-Nazi populace. Sort of like comparing the Westboro Baptist Church to Scientology. In previous cycles, Arthur Jones had tried to write himself in but got removed prior to the election for missing the filing deadlines. In the last election cycle, the Republican party actually ran multiple candidates for the Illinois 3rd district primary for the sole purpose of making sure Arthur Jones didn't get on the ballot, then lose to the Democrat.

So in Fender's very intellectually honest world, the existence of a lone wacko on a ballot with zero support and every single party explicitly campaigning against him, in an open primary where literally anyone could have written in their name and been put on the ballot, is somehow equivalent to Nazis being the majority of the population of major cities and electing Nazi mayors and setting up their own Nazi armed forces.

This is of course par for the course for Fender aka Heinreich von Goebbels, still bitter that my gramps hung his gramps at the nuremberg trials

/e better example comparison lmao

06/29/18 - Ted Cruz: ‘Vote for the Democrat’ over the GOP Nazi

CHICAGO — Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday urged residents of a Chicago-area congressional district to vote for a Democrat if they must, to avoid giving even one vote to an avowed Nazi who won the GOP nomination.

Cruz’s comments, made on Twitter, came after a POLITICO story detailed the Illinois Republican Party’s failed efforts to oust Holocaust denier Arthur Jones from the ballot or offer up an alternative for Republican voters.“This is horrific. An avowed Nazi running for Congress,” tweeted Cruz. “To the good people of Illinois, you have two reasonable choices: write in another candidate, or vote for the Democrat. This bigoted fool should receive ZERO votes.” The tweet generated nearly 12,000 likes and 4,900 retweets by Friday evening.

this was taken from politico with the story in various other publications at the time.
