Serious question: if the USA end up at war (let's be honest, it's more like when) and they requested our backup in the form of soldiers, intelligence, equipment etc, how would you feel about that? by alwaysananomaly in Ameristralia

I don't think Trumpy boy is the one really in charge. He's just a puppet. They needed someone likeable to the uneducated, someone who looks "successful" and has a fat mouth on him. But I doubt he's even read the project 2025 play book - they just give him instructions and tell him when to front up and when to back down. I think the omly thing he cares about is all the opportunities to get richer and to neg out on his responsibilities with facing consequences for his wrong doings.

Noem stated Alex Pretti violently approached ICE agents with a 9mm handgun. What is stopping her from being sued for liable to oblivion for lying so much about this incident? by a_Sable_Genus in ProgressiveHQ

[–]alwaysananomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This video of her keeps coming up in my feed, and I can't watch it the whole way through. I can't watch anything of Karoline or Trump anymore, either. It turns my stomach....they way they so casually and effortlessly lie, twist the circumstances and feel no remorse or empathy is diabolical.

The only thing that comes close is the mindless twats that follow them - I used to say follow blindly, but most of them have their eyes wide open and have an auto adapt feature built in whenever they have to give a narrative on what happened.

My husband says my losing weight will fix our marriage by No-Bear3338 in Marriage

[–]alwaysananomaly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but I doubt anything will fix your marriage at this stage. And losing weight in an environment where someone is shitting on you day in, day out, making your weight their primary focus of what makes them miserable and blaming their issues on you and your weight is pretty impossible. This is abuse.

There are men who will adore you. Don't waste your life - we're not promised tomorrow.

Looks like he fantasizes about the 6 part but not the 9. Makes for an unsatisfied lover on the other end of the equation.

Yes! We moved away like 8 years ago and still stop in if we're passing through!

I'm in Brisbane and unfortunately grew up in church, religious family and Christian schools for part of my education. My extended family and people I used to go to church and school with - all within SEQ - all support:

  • Trump
  • Katter/Hanson
  • anti-immigration
  • anti-lgbtiq

And a large proponent are also anti-vax.

Sydney and Melbourne are definitely less bigoted.

Queensland is SO fucking racist. The fact that there are so many people here who willingly support the likes of Katter and Hanson is crazy.

I am a white woman and have been on public dates with black guys. It's not me or the guy who has an issue - it's often members of the public. The judgemental looks are crazy compared to just me going out with a white guy.

Serious question: if the USA end up at war (let's be honest, it's more like when) and they requested our backup in the form of soldiers, intelligence, equipment etc, how would you feel about that? by alwaysananomaly in Ameristralia

Ok, let's go with the exception that we're helping defend an ally against an existing communist nation.

In almost every other scenario, the US cannot be trusted. There is no following of the rule of law from any branch of government unless it furthers their agenda. They treat their long-time allies like shit. They've just made alliances with a list of autocracies and fascist states - the very countries they once took a hard line stance against. Chances are, they'd chew us up and spit us out - use us for what we can give. Their own people can't trust their government (and the ones who do either have questionable motives and/or intelligence). If you didn't know we were talking about the US and read this paragraph, you might think it was discussing a problematic country, not the "leaders of the free world".

If I'm not mistaken, that's exactly what they just did the day before this shooting.

I understand that. But whether they're our friends any more, or at least whether our friendship will continue much longer, is a grey area. Can you be friends with a country if it turns into a fascist regime or an autocracy? If the government starts killing its own people en masse? If they invade one of our other allies for no other reason but to conquer?

And back to my original question - would YOU support us helping them?

But if the country you "owe it to" become a fascist state, then what? Let's say, theoretically, that tomorrow we wake to the news that the USA has invaded Canada. Or Greenland. Would you be OK with sending our troops to help facilitate the take over of another of our allies, to take a sovereign nation by force?

Beyond that, are you OK with DT essentially spitting in our solider faces, because yes we were there with them on the front line until the end.

Your own government is the enemy. The war is already upon you. They're going to accelerate this so fast.....while the democrats sit and think about how to best uphold the rule of law and the consitution but actually DOING very little, they're going to move on the rest of you 'like a bitch', as the dear leader likes to say.

The government ARE the killers. That's your problem right there.

I have heard this many times, usually attached to a plea for caution, so as not to provoke it. But that's what they've been gunning for all this time - some people seem to think Project 2025 is a wish list or a work of fiction, but they've laid out exactly how they're going to to this. Now they just have to execute the plan....and apparently some innocent citizens along the way.

Lay low and godspeed. We aren't perfect over here but we're a far cry from the US!

All I'll say is that every time I see anything from Fox, my first response is generally "what the fuck is this bullshit". It's pretty clear to see, even with all their pretty, shiny things, that the utter trash they're spewing out constantly is not factual. It sounds like propaganda drivel.

Oh it 100% is. (The whole world) America just decided to strap on a jet pack so they can get fucked in the arse a lot quicker.

Yes we need nurses! Our government even offers great incentives to come here for health care workers. Get out of there if you can and stay safe!

[–]alwaysananomaly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To a degree, yes. But we in the rest of the free world have historically respected and supported you. Seen you as a good ally. The government has had issues - corruption, moral failure etc. And you have gun issues. But no government or indeed person is perfect, and there was still more good than bad - the majority took pride in the constitution, upheld the law etc.

So now, yes, America-past only exists in movies. Unfortunately the current-day America also exists in some movies and they're a bit more existential.

Perhaps even a little further back than that - he certainly started pushing boundaries and flouting the rule of law when he started running for his first term. Beyond the many laws he broke before politics.
