I’ll just leave this here… :’-)
And there's quite a few missing!
The one on Greenland, for example
And the surveillance station in the middle of Australia (pine gap)
What? there's nothing important in Pine Gap.
Add to this one another map of past CIA-backed coups and despair.
Yeah no. Your choice has global impact. Sadly enough.
I mean, I follow the presidental race somewhat because it has global impact, but watching the debates is not worth my time, and I'm fairly certain it's not worth anyone's time, especially non-americans.
Plus it's unlikely to change anyone's mind. At this point you're either pro or anti Trump and you've had at least eight years to pick your side.
I will keep repeating this, Biden will be the reason Trump gets reelected. If he loves his country he needs to leave right fucking now. Democrats like him and Clinton are addicted to power. Bernie Sanders could have beaten Trump in both election but the democrats circles of power made sure to get the candidate they wanted. Old fool.
Sanders wouldn't stand a chance. Too many moderate Democrats would be terrified of the scary socialist madman.
"The scary socialist madman" accompanied by the Democratic Party apparatus? A presidential candidate Sanders along with a moderate liberal VP would have gotten both the traditional Democratic vote (as long as the party collaborated with him, rather than giving him the Corbyn treatment, which I don't trust liberals not to do) and a considerable chunk of the electorate who doesn't feel represented by either party. The day you guys understand that you don't have to fight the Republicans in traditional terms, but rather, to change the coordinates of the fight, you'll force Republicans to choose between evolving or getting buried. But the real problem by this point is whether it is too late.
Its ... horrible how you treat your elderly in closed wards.
I shall avert my gaze.
Didn't mean to pry, it was just too loud to not notice it.
I'd rather look at our ... increasingly hard-right EU politics ... wait, that can't be right, wtf.
We used to say that conservative politics in the EU would still be considered left in the USA. Well, I‘m not so sure about that anymore.
Biden’s immigration policy is honestly a wet dream for most right extremists in Europe
Well I suppose the answer I'd give is that because of how right-wing the US is compared to much of the Western world, it becomes a patient zero for whatever the far-right is cooking up - which inevitably influences far-right groups in other Western countries
Word.
Putin planted his seed with Trump in his greatest enemy (democracy/America). It quickly caught on & has spread globally.
Hundreds of Billions of dollars in US defense hasn't done a thing to halt the attacks on democracy Putin has wraught with a few million spent on his troll army.
The man can't carry out a physical attack for shit, but his cyber attacks have no equal, only willing collaborators (Murdoch et al, the maga army).
Putin planted his seed with Trump
Please don't post your fanfics here 🤮🤮
America sneezes, the world catches a drone strike or something
As a French tho, do watch the debate between Gabriel Attal, Merdella and Manuel Bombard. See how Bompard (the left wing candidate) politely wipes the floor with both shitbags.
Is it the official French stance to omit the Oxford comma?
It's only an Oxford comma if it's from the region of Oxford. Otherwise it's just sparkling interpunction.
That's the topic of the next debate.
Unfortunately, when America farts we're all forced to smell it. America wants Europeans to stay out of American business, buts that's rather difficult to do when that country demands to be the center of attention.
America wants Europeans to stay out of American business
I don't. Please send help!
As a french person we have bigger fishes to fry lmao 😂 (I might live in a fascist state soon™)
As an American, I feel ya.
As an Italian person, we are already there...
yeah but your family seems to make your problems our problems so we wanna know just how fucked we are.
Yeah it's like listening to your mobster neighbours fighting. It's their business but anyone can catch a stray.
In german media there is so much content about america even I sometimes get confused whoch country I actually live in.
At least you can tell where something happens by place names, I get headlines '12 shot in Manchester gun fight' or 'Birmingham man kills 8 in roadrage incident' and there's just no way of telling it's America... OK, well those examples are obvious but the point stands.
In America that's barely even news
It's not that us outsiders like to watch your elections closely. But we need to since they're gonna have a big impact on the world we live in, whether we like to admit it or not.
We're so fucked it's absolutely insane.
I thought Trump had a chance before, but now... My god Biden embarrassed the shit out of himself... Fuck the goddamn DNC for condemning us by REFUSING to have primaries... Yeah it's the tradition because usually the incumbent has a chance, but 90472828 year old Biden? Ffs...
Yes Trump is old too but it was plain as day how much more lucid trump is than biden...
This might be a hot take but any leadership selection where candidates are ranked in terms of how lucid they are is a bad time for all involved.
Being lucid is supposed to be a minimum requirement to even apply. But here we are.
Does it really count as "lucid" if you enunciate your lies, fabrications, misrecollections about... everything?
I would love not knowing about any debate but lemmy is like: Nope you'll read American "news" if you want to or not.
So next time keep your national humiliation fetish private please
Will this ever not be appropriate?
yeah but that kiddie pool is being rented out for 1500/mo
I dont know, I dont think Canada has much room to throw bricks in glass houses at the moment.
Too late, I watched it all. It would have been funny if it hadn't been so sad.
It was just…. ugh. 😞
How is this fascist right wing shit show not a global debacle? Putin, Netenyahu, Bolsanaro, Trump, Modi... Italy & Germany both rolling right. North Korea (of course) jumping on the Russian bandwagon and Xinny the Pooh.
Does Britain's finally dumping the Tories (after a decade & a half+) make them one of the few to break left at this time on the global stage? {Something about broken clocks being right from time to time.}
As part of the CUSMA trade agreement, I think us Canadians and Mexicans are allotted one sigh of disappointment...
Como parte del acuerdo comercial T-MEC, creo que a los canadienses y los mexicanos se nos permite un solo suspiro de decepción...
This is comparable to a loud family feud carried out on the streets with yelling and throwing stuff at one another and then yelling at the shocked onlookers to move away.
Nope, you can't stand there for generations going "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!" Then get shitty when we do, we want to watch you drive that burning bus into the the ocean.
We're literally the family with the drunk uncle who's really fun at parties but now the alcoholism has caught up and he just gets sad and angry when he gets drunk.
