    I was just watching Weltspiegel this evening which was so conflating and very biased. They first went like yes trump is bad and all (for the case of greenland) and then they interviewed a “specialist” who was constantly claiming that russia is the biggest threat to greenland and not the actual fact that trump is the main cause in this situation. The rest of that edition consisted out of cuba bashing, interviewing US military trainees in Hawaii (and portraying them as heroic) and really bad coverage on iran. I swear to god it was the most US asslicking bullshit that i have ever seen, and I guess germany is goingto keep sucking trumps dick.

      I don’t envy western propagandists right now. They basically have to find a way to convince people that Russia is the real threat while the US is actively attacking other western countries economically, and now possibly militarily. The whole narrative that Europe needs the US to keep it safe from Russia while the US is actively asking for a pound of flesh from Europe doesn’t exactly sell itself.

        It also doesn’t help that Europe heavily played up the “territorial integrity” argument to justify why they so staunchly support Ukraine and oppose Russia. Of course, shameless hypocrisy is nothing new for them, but it’s still a terrible look politically.

          That’s a great point too actually, literally every single thing they said about Russia applies to this situation. I really can’t see how current European regimes are going to survive long at this point. People have no problem ignoring the hypocrisy as long as it’s not hitting their bottom line. But the war is causing the standard of living to plummet in Europe, and that makes people are lot more politically engaged cause all of a sudden they have skin in the game.
