President Donald Trump isn’t attending the dignified transfer of four American soldiers who died in Lithuania, because he has instead chosen to attend a Saudi-backed golf tournament at his country club in Doral, Florida.
Well, at least Shady Vance will show up, fulfilling a traditional vice-president’s role. Right?
Right?
I remember the “Troops for Trump” that would set up from time to time. Never understood it. He’s disrespected them multiple times.
he did offer them to putins mercanaries before, when they put out hits on them.
Golfing with the fucking Russian oligarchs is more important than honoring dead US soldiers. Fuck Krasnov.
Not only that Lithuanians donated 237k usd for the families of the deceased soldiers Link.
Interview by US general about the deaths and recovery operation
“Suckers and losers…”
Now watch this drive
I mean, veterans did mostly vote for Trump, so…

Count this one that never voted for Trump.
D from top to bottom of the ticket
Same. I wish I had better choices available but we’ve got to work with what we’ve got.
Is it wrong that I am less infuriated by this than I am by the fact people still worship this idiot?
At this point, I am exhausted with being outraged by him. I cannot hate him more than I already do. Doing more evil shit may actually make me hate him less, because I simply cannot keep up to date with all the new reasons to hate him. But I cannot comprehend how millions of people can function in the world while still behaving like everything he does is objectively right. Not even the truly repulsive, monstrous shit, but the petty, insufferable bullshit like this. How do you excuse it? It do not comprehend how anyone can look at this and say, “Yeah, this guy should have nigh-unlimited power over the country and the ability to throw the world into chaos with a Tweet.”
Agreed.
Months back somebody on here described it in a simple two-word way that has stuck with me. Dumb and mean.
Many conservatives are just dumb and mean, and that is a nasty combination.
That’s not a perfect generalization, of course. Some are nice people who are profoundly ignorant and misled. Some are smart sociopaths. But it just fits too well for me to ignore.
I think it is important to laugh at the funny demonstrative shit because if you keep getting outraged for every unimportant thing that is done like the Gulf of America thing you’re not heard when outraging for actual things that matter like deporting people or silencing opposition
“Suckers and loosers”
While a man he admits is innocent is in an El Salvador prison
Again
They were just suckers and losers anyway.
Supposedly, I shouldn’t be the one who cares more about US soldiers than a republican president, and yet…
“im not staying for these SUCKERS AND LOSERS, all of them, i dont like them dead”-trump probably
Trump blows off honoring dead terrorists to play golf? Unintentionally based.
Who are these articles for? This is Lemmy. Do we really have boomers here upset about him disrespecting “the troops”? Fuck the troops.
Edit: I guess the US “respect our terrorist troops” propaganda goes deep.
Have you ever considered that running on a platform of “America sucks” is unlikely to get you elected in America?
I mean he was elected. Twice. He made MAGA. If you want to make it great again, it has to be shit now, by definition. So… no.
You and I don’t need to. The person ordering those troops to their death 100% does need to show respect.
Yeah let’s criticize the aesthetics of Imperialism instead. Like, what?
So it would be ok to kill poor brown people as long as the dude doing it is respectful to the poverty draft terrorist that cary out the terrorism?
Sure dude. That problem is him going golfing and being disrespectful.
Yes, the poor brown people of… Lithuania?
Sure. Its not like Lithuania asked for NATO Troops because they really dont want to go back to being an Oblast, it must be an imperialist ploy.
Did you read the article? These dumb ass joes died in a training exercise by getting their vehicle stuck in the mud.
What do you think NATO troops do? They bomb brown people in Western Asia.
I swear to God you idiots are so excited to come up with the most idiotic “gotchas” that you don’t even think about what is actually being talked about.
No one said they were actively bombing brown people. They were so stupid they died training to bomb brown people.
They were on a training mission in Lithuania, to simulate fighting conditions in a country like Lithuania. Wtf are you even on about?
How the fuck is that training to bomb brown people?
Holy fuck you people are dense. Yeah dude. They were training to “protect us from terrorist and Russians” just like in the movies. That’s exactly how the world works.
Remind me again what country we just recently bombed? Oh yeah, one of the poorest countries on the planet that spent the last decade being genocided by the US and it’s allies. The only country in the world performing any military action to resist the genocide in Gaza.
But yeah. The US military “fights bad guys”. I’m sure. Keep believing your delusions.
These dumb ass joes died in a training exercise by getting their vehicle stuck in the mud.
I swear to God you idiots are so excited to come up with the most idiotic “gotchas” that you don’t even think about what is actually being talked about.
Says the person who is so giddy people they do not know died they’re willing to pass judgement on the dead they’ve never met. You’re a piece of shit.
No one is talking about imperialism we’re talking about basic human decency I have to assume you lack given this conversation.
Yeah you can’t mention US troops dying in a country we have no business being in and ignore Imperialism. That’s my entire point dude.
We literally want them to be here you ignorant dictator-worshipper
No one is ignoring it. We’re saying it’s not more important at the moment the recognizing the death of the people you order. That’s basic decency and their goddamn obligation as commander and chief. You seem to be the only one who is saying a belated conversation about imperialism is more important.
That’s shitty behavior so I’m simply going to assume you’re a shitty self absorbed person.
No. I just give zero shits about the aesthetics of “military honor” in the US.
And any topic related to respecting the US military cannot be disconnected from the fact that it’s the largest terrorist organization in the world.
It’s like saying “oh damn, Putin wasn’t respectful to his dead troops”. Like, ok, I don’t give a shit about Putin or the troops that kill innocent people.
It’s not aesthetics, people died slow some respect when you’re the one who ordered it. No one is asking you to have common decency, clearly you don’t so I won’t ask.
That’s literally every military, but again you’re ignoring the humans that died who didn’t harm anyone and were involved in humanitarian efforts, let me say that again training efforts with an allied country not war. Stop being so much of a bigot you can’t see the tree amongst the forest.
No one is asking for you to care about Putin, you’re being obtuse. It’s especially dumb with Russia because they’re conscripts in a oligopoly who imprisons deserters and allegedly kills some.
You’re being pretty harsh on that guy. Had you considered that America bad? Every soldier was literally Hitler because they were a member of America’s military and America bad. Checkmate.
These fuckin morons man, protest the war not the warrior. They’re usually kids who joined for money not to be idealogs for bafoons to push their narrative.
Not every Nazi was Hitler. But being upset that Hitler didn’t respect his troops is fucking stupid. If thats even on your list of criticisms for Hitler than I think something is wrong with your perspective. And if you did you would be saying that Nazis deserve respect. They don’t. And neither do American troops.
The only ones that deserve respect are the ones that desert and fight against the harms that they did.
I’m just replying in case you need another comment to rant at.
Appreciate it
“respect our terrorist troop”
They were here to defend us from literal fascists in Russia. You know, those that commit literal warcrimes and crimes against humanity. You know, those that commit a literal genocide.
They are absolute heroes and deserve the greatest honour.
Fuck the troops? If anyone should be fucked, it needs to be you, “LeninOnAPrayer”. You have absolute double standards to talk about terrorism when you literally named yourself after a brutal dictator that overthrew the mensheviki democratic government to implement a rule of terror.
God damn. It’s like I’m back on reddit with how incredibly stupid some of you are.
Go suck a troops dick.
Don’t cut yourself on all that edge.
What I can’t believe is how easily the US military is giving up on this conflict. Letting the swamp win is disrespectful to the fallen. We need to send another truckload of troops into the swamp, and if they sink into it too, send another, and another, until eventually they can drive a truck in without it sinking. We can’t let the cost of these sunken troops go to waste.
Anyone who says we shouldn’t do this is secretly a pro-swamp infiltrator or an accelerationist who hates America because they just want to watch the world burn.
Exactly! I was wrong. I see the light! All of these comments replying to me and yours turned me into a patriot! We must keep throwing bodies at the problem! It would dishonorable to the fallen not to do so!
he said they are suckers and losers, and whats in for them, more than one occasion.
The amount of news articles that make me laugh have been steadily increasing.
What a clownly country.
memorable qoutes towards soldiers: " suckers and losers all of the, whats in it for them.
I dont like soldiers that are dead or captured, they disappoint me.
i Like the poorly educated.
Sad, but true
I hate it here
