Again. The morons did it again.

Don't forget that US have the biggest army, beause all the taxes go to the army and new Ferraries and yachts for some CEO Friends, not to healthcare, education, social aid, labor rights, human rights and other senseless waste for which it's used by the EU.

Will Europe stop buying American weapons and develop their own alternatives? Probably not. Again.

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 24 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Explain. Why would a realisation be dawning just now?

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Not necessarily right now, but once you connect the dots.

Since the last election, things basically went from "who needs a military anyway?" being a not that uncommon stance to a huge fucking war next door, hybrid attacks and a noticeable uptick in espionage. And today we were reminded that it's actually happening - our most important ally is now led by a maniac.

all of which happened under biden's administration so...

Europeans are about to find out what Kissinger meant when he said that it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.

Europeans have already memory holed the Nordstream 2

US foreign policy didn't change when trump entered or left office last time. It won't this time. It's still going to be not good.

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Oh sure, nothing changed with US foreign policy.

Except for starting trade wars with Canada, selling out the Kurds, trying to kill NATO, rehabilitating Russia, making a deal with ISIS, all the shit with Mexico...

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Don't forget trying to start a war with Iran (and maybe Iraq too) by assassinating an intelligence head during a peace conference with Iraq.

selling out the Kurds

oh honey. selling out the Kurds is a fucking meme at this point

rehabilitating Russia

what arrogance to think that countries outside of America can't steer their own destiny

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Please share with the class what you think Russia did to rehabilitate themselves to the rest of the world

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Oh here I thought you were being serious and talking about the material conditions within Russia and their ability to exercise autonomy against the imperial hedgemon. You're on some baby brained fantasy shit about personal opinions you hold in the western sphere.

Well I can't argue with you there. Le epic ebil voldemort oral sex with a man bad guy

It's liberals suddenly flipping to think the is the US is the bad guy now like they did in 2016 and showing how ignorant they are of US actions abroad for literally decades.

Or maybe now they're worried because they think the things they're fine with happening to brown people might creep over into affecting white Europeans negatively, 'cos it sure hasn't occured to them the genocide we were already endorsing for the past year.

A fascist orange felon who has had closed door meetings with tyrants.

[–] CyberMonkey404@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Europeans atm :

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (5 children)

I literally warned the smug Europeans that were mocking Americans that the US elections will absolutely affect them if the wrong people take power.

Watch M×sk and his dog fuck your shit up and make the corrupt officials in your governments bend to his will and fuck shit up from the inside from here on out. Because it's absolutely going to happen.

Good luck.

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 12 points 4 days ago

OK. What exactly did you want us to do with your warning? It's not like we got a vote...

[–] Tabula_stercore@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

Lol you knob, go do something about your politics instead of "warning smug Europeans" on a obscure forum

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz -1 points 4 days ago

I don't take glee in the fact, you weirdo.

What a weird conclusion to jump to.

[–] CyberMonkey404@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

make the corrupt officials in your governments bend to his will and fuck shit up from the inside

As opposed to what's been happening for decades now?

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Trump is going to demand billions in cash donated to his personal bank account, from every country on earth. He just takes in $170 today from businesses paying him bribes.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

170 billion dollars or 170 dollars?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

Well your last guy was a genocidal maniac with dementia; Americans need to realise that, from the perspective of foreigners, bloodthirsty aggression is bipartisan in the USA, and that Trump's main differences are in the domestic arena.

We do not care that "he's an orange".

Hey apple, hey apple

Welcome back to the stage, Annoying Orange

I'm more concerned with the military leadership. Without the competence and conscience of a good head the body dies
