Out of curiosity, do you disagree with the point? Or perhaps you have something to add or interject?

Excuse me for wanting to know the full context of the topic and do critical thinking before commenting on it, instead of opening my mouth to parrot the "Orange Man Evil" party line to farm upvotes.

See my arguments on the topic here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43503672

BTW, what are your opinions and arguments on the topic, or do you just enjoy cosplaying as HN hall monitor?

Or, you know, Europeans and Canadians might actually see the Orange Man for what he is, and express their opinions.

What does the article have to do with Trump? He won't be president forever.

Are you asking what the current political trends in the EU, which the article is about, have to do with Trump, the president of the USA?

First sentence:

>The EU is considering ... to retaliate against Donald Trump...

Did you by chance read the article yourself?

Your arguments aren't in conflict with jurmous, though. The article can be thin on details and jurmous could be correct that the EU needs to be tough. I get the sense no one is really sure what you're taking umbrage at. It doesn't help that you mix in flame bait accusations about other posters' motivations.

>and jurmous could be correct that the EU needs to be tough

Then you also admit I was right that people make emotionally charged comments/rants that have little to do with the details of the article.

Should I be sorry for pointing it out instead of jumping on the "US/Trump bad" bandwagon without any arguments like jurmous did whose comment is just vague demagogy("EU needs to be tough") without comments on the specifics of the article?

When everyone just posts vague emotional demagogy comments, then the quality of the discussion goes to shit. Sorry, I'm here for more technical argumented discussions, not "US-bad EU-strong" comments.

Well, you could have pulled jurmous up for digressing without accusing them of not reading the article. You're also free to criticise their comment for being emotionally charged, although in this case I would disagree with you.
