EU folds immediately whenever the USA walks in drunk with its imperialist demands.

Did jack shit during the entire Israel-Gaza situation because the number one rule is to not piss off Uncle Sam.

Even their international trade standards get regularly abused by the US to impose sanctions on anyone they want, without acting like they're responsible.

Pakistan had all these dumbass trade restrictions that magically got lifted the literal day their democratically elected PM was thrown in jail. All of the sudden the IMF (UN, just one example) shut the hell up about gas subsidies and opened the loan book like nothing happened.

If you want us Europeans to forcefully establish a democracy in the USA, please let us know...

You guys want WW3 so fucking bad!!!

Edit: that is as long as you can make yourselves the victim in the situation. Remember when President Trump was trying to distance the USA from China for a multitude of reasons and you called him xenophobic and racist?

Pepperidge Farm remembers!!

As long as it's "Dridiot-umphernickle" (or whatever unimaginative ~~stretch~~ butchering of the English language you all think is hilarious these days) that starts another world war, you all are so fucking on board!!

The US seems to be doing its best to be everyone's enemy right now.

Not Russia's.

I mean, Trump is in part Putin's creation.

[–] drathvedro@lemm.ee 4 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

You know the funny thing is, here in Russia some of the patriotic tankie folk, unsatisfied with how the war is going, have started to spread the conspiracy that Putin himself is a CIA asset, whose sole job throughout his entire presidency is to destroy the remnants of USSR, but in a subtle enough way not to cause an outright revolt...

So, if Putin owns Trump, and CIA owns Putin, and Trump owns CIA, then who's controlling who in this crazy world? (though why would it matter, all of them belong to the guillotine anyway)

It's been a couple o days already that Trump announced he will go against Russia if Ukraine pays his price...

(His price seems to be all about posturing, but he made a point of announcing it.)

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

A little bit of posturing to maintain his strongman image with his base doesn't change a thing.

Every word he utters is "Give me money and attention" with a different theme applied.

They loading up the nukes to take Greenland too?

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 7 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I’m British. Not that I’m aware. But we aren’t really speaking against The Orange Fart and we do have a fair few right wing folk.

[–] illi@lemm.ee 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

we do have a fair few right wing folk.

In these times... who doesn't?

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 2 points 11 hours ago

Very true. It’s just the best answer I could come up with.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

We’ve shat the bed in Europe so much that we’re on Team Trump by default. Starmer of course wants to have it both ways, but when push comes to shove, we’ll be trying to broker a deal over Greenland and hosting Trump Org Gaza property expos.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

He actually did have a decent response when he was asked about Gaza and Trump's "plan" in parliament, specifically saying that Palestinians must be allowed back to their homes and allowed to rebuild, and also that Britain should back them in that

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 3 points 9 hours ago

He also expressed concerns about the Gaza operation, while continuing to supply weapons to the IDF, so this should probably be taken as a PR figleaf.

Europe is the good guy? Since when?

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 10 hours ago

Since Einstein said everything is relative.

[–] 97xBang@feddit.online 2 points 7 hours ago

Since they starting letting the US do all the dirty work while they reap the benefits and look innocent at the same time.
