How are they so bad at this? Don't they remember the last time? Can't they see what's happening in front of their own eyes? Are they just clinging on to some misplaced sense of fairness and decency?

I think treating it all as a sandbox game which can’t really touch you is both professionally and psychologically insulating. Reporters who develop a sense of mission and involvement don’t seem to last long at BBC News.

Kind of ignores the reasons *why* Germany hasn’t had a full-on military since WW2.

1. “Putin is a bully and if we let him have his way he will just demand more.”
2. “Trump is a dealmaker, if we give him what he wants, he will back off.”

But you just can’t predict what Trump will do! He’s completely unpredictable!

nndroid.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yes all of his completely unpredictable things that he laid out in comprehensive detail before the election!

No one in the mainstream news media is really twigging that this is about setting up Global Oligarchy. Its all about an international club of terrible lads having endless money and power to do what they want.
