Again. The morons did it again.

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Explain. Why would a realisation be dawning just now?

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month 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...

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.

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 1 month 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...

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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 1 month 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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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

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.

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.

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

[–] CyberMonkey404@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

closed door meetings with tyrants

Anyone in particular?

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] CyberMonkey404@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I get my news from here, I don't have to try. When was the meeting?

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.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.

[–] Tabula_stercore@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

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

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 12 points 1 month ago

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

[–] CyberMonkey404@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month 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?

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 1 month ago

170 billion dollars or 170 dollars?

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

What a weird conclusion to jump to.

[–] TeabagRd 3 points 1 month ago

Europeans atm :

[–] biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Hey apple, hey apple

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month 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".

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

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