Macron calls crisis summit amid concern over Trump’s plan for Ukraine

The welfare state wasn’t dismantled by accident; it was gutted with surgical precision by the same technocrats now crying crocodile tears over “European security.” Blaming right-wingers alone is a cop-out—they’re merely the blunt instrument. The real architects are the neoliberal mandarins who sold out sovereignty for cheap labor markets and corporate kickbacks.
The rich didn’t just “help” the rich; they engineered a system where austerity is gospel and public goods are heresy. Europe’s security wasn’t neglected—it was commodified, parceled out to NATO contractors and energy oligarchs. Clink clink? No, more like ka-ching ka-ching, as the champagne flows over the ashes of accountability.

What are you the barstool politics correspondent for Maxim magazine? Lol
-
Barstool politics? Maxim magazine? Your attempt at wit is as limp as NATO’s credibility. Stick to your lane, Friar—this isn’t the kiddie pool, and your flailing only proves you’re out of your depth.
-
I’ll translate: you sound like a douchebag.

Are you a shitty mad-libs bot or something? What the fuck are these comments, hahahaha...

You're not wrong about a lot.
while Washington plays realpolitik chess with Putin
But, um, we will see about this “realpolitik” in a few months, and if the results are really all that pragmatic, or just a capitulation to Russia.
-
The thing about "realpolitik" is that it’s just a fancy word for power plays dressed up as pragmatism. It’s not a strategy; it’s a gamble, and Washington's chessboard is littered with pawns that look suspiciously like entire nations. If this is "pragmatic," then it’s pragmatism with a body count.
Capitulation or not, the outcomes are always framed as binary because that’s easier to sell to the masses. Either way, the winners are the same: corporate interests, military contractors, and the bureaucratic elite who keep their champagne cold while the world burns. Realpolitik isn’t about results—it’s about keeping the game going.
So yeah, let’s see where this "chess match" leads. Spoiler: probably another war-torn country and a few more billions siphoned off into offshore accounts.

His username is a community reference. He thinks he is edgy.

Just curious, do you get 10¢ for every metaphor you write or something?
-
Oh, bless your heart. If I had a nickel for every time someone mistook snark for wit, I’d be swimming in champagne right now. But alas, here you are, offering me a dime for metaphors like some budget literary critic.
Your attempt at banter is as flat as a soda left open overnight—uninspired and fizzless. Maybe next time, try contributing something of substance instead of playing the role of the peanut gallery’s understudy.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got metaphors to write and minds to provoke. You? Well, you’ve got… this. Enjoy!
-
Oh that was already obvious with how he writes his self-proclaimed "snark".
-
NATO all capitals!! Goddamnit.
-
Yeah that writing style is…oof. That’s what I’m saying. It’s like reading a political column in an early 2000s maxim magazine mixed with some barstool sports douche.
-
I think I like the other kind of artificial intelligence better
-
You disappoint me. You had engaging metaphors that had me amused even while disagreeing with much of what you said. But then you refuted someone else's comment referring to the clink of champagne glasses with the sound of a till and went right back to champagne! Do keep going, it has been entertaining, but only if the consistency is held to the highest standards.
-
Man, they're going at it hard, every sentence has at least two in it. I haven't seen something as cringe as this in a while.
