      Not sure the UK’s interested in having us back at this point.

        And it’s not like the UK is doing so hot with their own conservative takeover.

        Honestly, I think they get too much credit for having socialized healthcare. On a lot of other metrics, they’re not much better than the US.

    “If you go back to World War II, if you go back to World War I. If you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation,” Vance said.

    Crawl back in between the cushions you dumb ass motherfucker. We won’t accept this revisionism to benefit your mother Russia.

      Negotiating like when someone has a guy on the ground, and keeps punching him in the face, screaming “HAD ENOUGH MOTHERFUCKER?”

      Yeah, like that, if you want to call that a negotiation. I mean he did ASK.

      Technically, the status of Germany was settled b by the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany, in 1990. That was certainly a negotiated agreement.

        Yeah I mean I guess every war technically ends with a treaty or status quo ceasefire, but you’re skipping a lot of steps where all of the most egregious nazis were killed or captured first.

        You don’t have to go as far as the Romans did to Carthage to demand an unconditional surrender through force.

        I mean, the Paris treaty formally ended the war, it’s just that Germany wasn’t a signatory to it. Turns out if you kill enough Nazis, it doesn’t really matter if one signs your treaty or not.

    This is another sign that Trump and Vance are going to sell out Ukraine, through “negotiation.”

    A violent armed robbery is like a negotiation.

    You see, people are considering the situation and value is transferred between parties.

    I’m so smart. I’m like, negotiating life right now.
