Yes China makes big distinction between US and Europe in its rhetoric. And they are working on pulling Europe from USA, but it’s early days and it will take time. Lots of time.

I don’t think so. They are culturally too different. Europe will continue to suck American cock for at least couple decades going forward. That’s not to say that economic ties won’t increase in the meantime.

If you think about it from position of China being the biggest threat, then only Asian bases and countries matter. That’s why we don’t hear much about Trump doing crazy things in that region.

While Europe is important, it should be able to fend for itself. Also Europe joining China is unlikely in short and mid term. So it make sense to spend less money on Europe and focus on Asia.

Also explains the Russia situation. Although culturally Russia is as European as Sweden and Germany, this war has pushed it closer to China than ever. If the conflict lasts longer, then their alignment would be immenent. Personally I’m surprised that they didn’t align more. China was being surprisingly passive about the whole thing.

Military industrial complex obvsly

Hey I’m American and I’m all for EU paying for the war in perpetuity and for our mic sinking all the way to the bottom on Mariana trench.

Spoiler alert: it won’t

Haha. Are you serious? I swear to God, propaganda makes people so dumb it’s unbelievable.

Didn’t take that long for Vietnam US relationship to settle down.

I feel like people who care about something this stupid are either shills for trump or just too damn stupid to see a bigger picture. In the latter case I guess I have to give it to Trump: he threw a bone that idiots couldn’t pass up.

Right? Honestly there are plenty of geographical features that are named differently between different languages and countries. It really doesn’t affect anybody except people in the US.

Plus they got a few new territories. Those come with some population

I disagree. I would still prefer to eat breakfast on my veranda with ocean view. Real ocean view.

Curious how they decide who lives in desirable spots. Like Cali coast of something similar?

Never watched the show. I wonder how they select who lives in on ocean front of California cost, who’s on the second row and who’s 30 miles from the coast?

Really? I’ve had lots of excellent Kolsch in USA . Try Rosenstadt in Portland for example.

He totally will. Of course Ukraine can choose to continue on fighting without US support. That prolly won’t be very productive. At least not in terms of recovery of land, but they can delay total loss by at least a few years if they choose this.

Meh who cares what he says now. Trump will negotiate the deal with Putin and then somebody will let Zelensky know what it is. Just like it happened for South Korea.

Damn right. The first thing I thought when I saw that pic. What a nightmare. Thought of walking my dog or kids on that street makes me depressed.

Well obviously you should pull the lever once the front wheels past the split but before the rear wheels cross it, so that trolley gets off the rails. This way everybody has the chance to survive and you have defensible position during inevitable court hearing.

Oh yeah didn’t notice. Just s/2/11/
