It's crazy how almost all of the problems in the world have at their heart an insecure man who wants people to like him.

Perhaps it's something to do with self-importance? There was a time when being always-online, always reachable by email, was seen as a mark of how very important you were as a "businessman".

Have you tried an all-raw-fish diet?

Almost every EU country has experienced dictatorships (or the effects of them) over the last 100+ years and have robust constitutions to protect against abuse. The British don’t know the meaning of „nie wieder“

If you can’t understand the difference between a dictator imprisoning his rivals and a democracy defending its constitution, then the problem is not with “liberal hypocrisy” but with your own jaded nihilism

The information you are missing is this: unless Trump is appeased there will be no more missiles for the Patriot systems in Ukraine which means that more Russian ballistic missiles will hit more Ukrainian children’s hospitals and pizza restaurants. A bloody kind of blackmail.
