> No politician in Europe is starting wars for personal gain.

Isn't that that basically the history of Europe? A short French or German or English or Roman dude starting a war for personal gain?



Not recently though. Unless you count Putin.


That's the history of every country and every empire, not just Europe.

Is that the standard we're holding Trump to though?

Do you really think it's OK for him to invade other countries for personal enrichment because historic tyrants also did the same?
