I need to learn some robust self-calming techniques or actively practice meditation everyday if I want to survive this presidency with some level of sanity left. And I don’t even live in the same continent as you fuckers.

Why…? Did you look at a geopolitical map of Europe during that period? If you did you’d act less surprised that the commander of the NATO forces of central Europe happens to often be a high ranking officer from central Europe. Germany specifically, the very country cut in half between west and east alignment and the epicenter of a lot of cold war shit, and not from Italy or Belgium or Denmark which are not located in Central Europe. Give the tankie conspiracies a rest.
