"Never again" doesn't mean Jews or Russia. It means genocide and fascism.

In 2013 I started countering Russian and Russian sponsored fascist disinformation in German social media. First about Syria, then about Ukraine. Today I'm sharing and commenting whatever seems important or not enough oberved to me, in German and English language media

It’s obvious that *before this week* Trump had never heard about Venezuela nationalizing its oil industry (in 1976!) but now it’s a casus belli in a shitshow that makes the 2002-03 run-up to invading Iraq look like a model of planning, preparation, and logic.
Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

It would later reflect well on European governments to have at least tried to prevent Trump from the madness of a war against Venezuela!
