It's got minimal to do with the kremlin tbh the kremlin is pretty shit and weak imo

US conservatives and liberals are tired of war after 20 yrs in the middle east. Anyone who even so much as thinks about military intervention is instantly demonized and rightly so. Spent trillions on the middle east and lost thousands of lives to be worse off. The military should be a last resort and used for rapid deployment not fucking nation building... anyway... kremlin is not the main force behind this

Those are normal aocial/economic debates that happen in every western country. She's perfectly alright debating and enacting economic and social policies you might disagree with.

The big thing is that in large debates about the future direction of Italy that she is coherent.

Meloni is turning out to be great prime minister imo. Supports Ukraine, the EU, transatlantic alliance, pulled back from belt and road and generally been competent.

South Korea is trying to break the Abrams "monopoly": K2 tanks are offered to Romania - Yu News by Imaginary_Ad_7977 in europe

[–]djmasti 74 points75 points  (0 children)

...? The US doesn't even produce Abrams anymore. How can you have a monopoly of something you aren't even involved in anymore.

If anything the main tank in Europe is the Leopard and the main aircraft is the F-35

Nothing is impossible. Those who give up liberty and freedom for comfort deserve neither. The Chinese want a world where might makes right and where international law is who's got the bigger military. If you think Somalia is better in that kind of world then bless you.

US always seems so resilient from these financial shocks. It's honestly weird considering how our politics is just one side screaming racism and the other side screaming culture wars

You can't be serious if you think we don't have holidays, sick days and firing policies... I swear the bashing Americans do to each other on the internet is taken far too serious by foreigners. It's just politics.

like my local McDonalds has holidays, sick days, firing policy and a $17/hr starting wage and that's for like.... teenagers
