I'm genuinely struggling to think of any single private individual that has provided more tangential help to Ukraine than Elon. Can you?

These are the same people that will cry about some billionaire not curing world hunger, while that person has donated tens if not hundreds of millions, yet they haven't done a single value-adding thing for that cause and somehow think their shit-posting on social media is valid. Truly pathetic individuals.


ankle-biters IMO better fit as a label

small insignificant unremarkable individuals eager to open up their mouth and criticize people that actually have an impact on the world


Well said

Keep trying.

He's a cunt for mocking the president of a country fighting for its survival. Money can't buy class.

I find it funny that I gave a somewhat nuanced view of Musks' motivations. That he fundamentally wants the public to see him as smart and important, but he's fairly easily manipulated, and the bootlickers have to reframe it at every opportunity as "lol you think he's literally a Russian puppet"

Musk gave Ukraine Starlink for public brownie points because he knew it was popular. Then after being contacted by Russia fell for their talking points, and proposed a "middle ground" to seem smart and independent and peace-wanting. Only issue is that "middle ground" cedes virtually everything to Russia, the unambiguous aggressor. This culminated in him threatening to shut it down until the DoD took over payments, and then refusing to expand it into the areas that, again, Russia took from Ukraine.

And this is based on Musks's own words about who convinced him to take the positions and actions he did, because he was open about talking to Putin and only then started saying ridiculous things like "Putin wants peace". To disagree with my stance you have to literally ignore Musks's own account of his reasoning.

But then again both posters criticizing me for this position spent half a decade licking Trump's boots on the grounds that you can't trust his own words. So makes sense they would just carry that gullibility over.

Politico leveled up and unlocked a new power: Unabashed holocaust denialism.

"The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center registered its outrage, noting that Hunka’s unit’s “crimes against humanity during the Holocaust are well-documented” — a statement that doesn’t seem to have any more substance than the accusation by Russia."


Absolutely shocked to read this

How the hell could Politico publish this? The man was literally a Schutzstaffel volunteer

Yeah ain't great.

They aren't denying the holocaust but most everything else is pretty bad.

True, they aren't denying the holocaust, they however are denying the genocidal acts committed by this SS unit in particular.

Fighting against the USSR didn’t necessarily make you a Nazi


The title is abhorrent - this man was an SS volunteer which does, necessarily, make you a Nazi by definition. It is an opinion piece but still, this degrades what little credibility Politico had left

I can't either, maybe one of our resident NAFO members can enlighten us.

When Ukraine is eventually forced to the negotiating table they will probably call them Russian agents as well :rofl:

Yeah, sorry ? Excuse me, I was circle jerking in-between Elon Musk, Nord Sream 2, and the Canadian Nazi... ^_^


Your posts don't make sense because you can't communicate in English.
