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.

    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.

      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.

          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.

              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.

    Well, at least Shady Vance will show up, fulfilling a traditional vice-president’s role. Right?
