I personally don’t agree on much with that woman but at least she isn’t a warmonger. I have lost a lot of respect for a European left that cozies up with Putin and other terrorists though.
And the far right. The Kremlin is supporting both sides in order to create division. Divide and conquer with a keyboard.
Yeah, that is true. In Germany for example the far right AFD and the, soon to be, far right (Geert Wilders Style) BSW / Bündnis Sarah Wagenknecht, have solid 30%+ of the votes in Germany, if the polls hold true.
The only positive thing I see going for Europe is, that we are not yet (!) as fucked as the US, because most of the time the politicians still actually discuss and are willing to work towards a solution. That behavior is deteriorating in my opinion though.
Yeah. IMHO citizens in developed democracies let their guard down after WWII and the Cold War disappeared into history books.
Now there are increasingly authoritarian and violent dictators like the Xi and Putin using social media to spread dangerous propaganda directly to younger generations.
