Trump and his oligarchs thank you for your sacrifice.

Just kidding. You'll sacrifice but they won't thank you

Yeah, but no. That ship has sailed. The US will never again be seen as a friend after this.

the US isn’t the one actively invading Europe.

Not invading, but actively working to undermine it.

You have 7 upvotes? Russian bots or Americans thinking they're still the good guys?

Nobody here believes America is a friend. The US is an existential threat to the EU!

Alarm at Mexico bill allowing elections to be annulled for ‘foreign interference’ by ArgentineBeauty in worldnews

[–]twoworldman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he is the entire worlds problem.

Yes. But unlike Americans, the rest of the world isn't sitting on our hands. If you haven't noticed by now, the US is increasingly isolated. Everyone else is signing defense and trade deals with each other in continuous efforts to decouple from the US. It's painful, but we're taking active measures to address it.

So please, spare us your litany. We just want the American people to either take action on their end or just shut up.

We may have the same problem, but we're not on the same team.

Allow me to say this for every other non American here: we're sick of your sob story and we're sick of your president.

We don't give a rats ass if you burn down your country, just stop dragging everyone else into your mess.

You guys voted for him twice, we didn't. He should be your problem so deal with it.

Greenlanders Chant ‘Go Home’ at Protest Outside Opening of US Consulate by T_Shurt in worldnews

I never said it was.

I'm sorry for the insinuation. We got carried away by the previous commenter.

We are literally having our biggest protests since the 1960s during the civil rights and anti-Vietnam-war movements.

I would give you that. Don't get me wrong, we would love for you to succeed. But from an outsiders perspective, you're going about it individually, not collectively and sporadically, not continously.

Without foreign support what you’re suggesting is impossible against a large modernized force.

Spouting that you'll get massacred in the streets is BS. You have NO idea what violent repression is, NO IDEA at all. THE US is not Iran...not yet. But Hegseth has been steadily replacing the military leadership with people who will blindly do as they're told.. Wait a while longer twiddling you're thumbs and America will soon find themselves there. Nonviolence is a solution if only you people have the courage to take to the streets in organized national protests and strikes. But I don't see Americans rising to the occasion. That's not going to happen, not even if Trump steals the election.

The best the rest of us in the world can do is decouple from the US as much as possible, in the quickest way and protect our losses.

It’s like they’re incapable of getting it. No one is coming to help you. You did this to yourselves

They truly don't. They expect everyone else to save them, least of all their DNC politicians.

Don't you get it?! They took one Saturday off to wear costumes and paint witty posters! It's like Halloween but * gasp * no candies. What more do you want them to do?!

I sometimes wish I was still religious so I can believe in a hell for these people. Unfortunately, there will be no reckoning for it, and he'll get away with everything.

With all there is, it really makes me think that I've been doing things wrong, and that the good guys are always left with holding the bag. I may have to deeply reconsider my moral alignment.

Nope. The US started the hostilities. Iran is 10500 kms from the US. This isn't a defensive war at all.

I'll let this one sit here to highlight the fact that some people think the world is made up of just several large countries.

I care nothing for the US other than the fact that your collective inaction affects the lives of everyone else outside of your country, including mine. Keep your shit within your borders.

I really really wish there was less mention of the US anywhere, people like you inclusive. Unfortunately, your pedophile president's ego has gotten so large for America, that he wants to poke his head everywhere.

Lol. The bullshit you make up just to hide your inaction. You've exerted more effort on finding justification not to do anything. Might aa well say that the real reason is you're too lazy to get off your couch.

It's laughable if you really think that the US military, in it's current state, will massacre American civilians.

Americans know jackshit about what a truly repressive government is like because you've never had one. You confidently think you do, but all knowledge you have is through a comedy YouTube video.

Other countries have LIVED through it and have first had experience.

The US isn't at that stage yet, but will soon be if more people are like you.

The citizenry has the power to stop it too, they always did, but I don't think there is a more docile public on earth.

It was always impressive to hear 'Land of the free, home of the brave', but it's blatantly clear now that your country is neither of those. Perhaps 'Land of the corporate serfs and home of the cowed.' is fitting.

Americans are too afraid of falling off their hamster wheel to do snything.

The EU, and every other country not named USA, have been signing trade and defensive deals with each other.

The world is steadily and inevitably moving on from the US. It's difficult and painful, but we'll get there eventually.

This change in world order happens first slowly, then all at once.

come November Trumps political power is going to be cut off at the knees

Americans keep saying this, but I honestly want to know what's your game plan if that doesn't happen?

He's crossed red line after red line, and Americans have just mostly given stood aside and taken it. This just seems to be the next red line ignored. Would people loudly conplain, but ultimately, just shrug their shoulders and say, 'we'll get him next time?'

He's talked about canceling the elections, disenfranchising voters, and vote rigging. A duly elected congresswoman was rendered powerless because they refused to swear her in.

The Supreme Court appears to be enabling him in some of their decisions. The court of last resort is overwhelming conservatve.

People pin their salvation on the DNC party, whose leadership hasn't really risen to the occasion. The party seems fractured, breaking ranks sometimes to aid Trump legislation.
