Because you now did it to yourself.
You're viewing a single thread.
Pour one out for America and Ukraine, and the Middle East in general. And Taiwan.
Europe and Asia, you guys better get your shit together, we might be out of this one permanently. Or we might have a very long recovery time spanning decades. Such fucking bullshit.
I know Americans get upset when I say this to them but honestly, I think it's the time the United States broke up, it's too big, it's too powerful, and as soon as someone like him gets in charge everything goes to shit.
If the United States was smaller it wouldn't matter as much if a random dictator got in charge of a small bit of it.
As an American, I'm in agreement with that in concept. Partition would be a harrowing process though, as people scramble to go where they feel they belong. I'm not sure such a process could happen without another civil war.
Czechs and Slovaks managed to do it in a civilised manner only 30 years ago, so it's not impossible.
American are known to be very civilised and smart
You're either being sarcastic or you don't live in the U.S. I'm currently living in Louisiana, and I'm surrounded by racist idiots.
What’s their landmass in comparison to the US?
I was saying this the last time around. America is too big and the parties are too polarized, the federal government can't fairly represent all of its constituents at once. At any given time, half of the population is being underrepresented.
Well that's a good point as well it really doesn't help that the Americans have decided to turn their politics into something so tribal.
That's more practical than just reforming the election system, apparently. Ugh.
Oldschool Republicans may have a point here too, perhaps less federal power is better.
Indeed. This election was won by Vladimir Putin.
Europe and Asia, you guys better get your shit together
Yes, it's now or never.
Who am I kidding, we won't do anything, of course. Everyone will huddle in his corner.
In Europe particularly the big problem will be Turkey and Italy as usual.
Yeah, no. Our European society is in decline.
Recently we had some floodings on Valencia. We are aiming for 300 dead... In a modern society 300 dead because of a flooding, the same dead tool as in 1957 when the same area flooded. Our society is definitely failing.
Just read an article in the guardian by a climate scientist lamenting how many times he and his colleagues presented flood risk data to city officials in Valencia but time and time again they ignored them. Very sad.
Recovery time? Getting our shit together? Europe and Asia won't survive the climate collapse either. I don't know why you people talk like this.
And Taiwan.
If there's one thing Ds and Rs agree on, it's the need to start a war with China
Yeah, we have millions of imm.... uh, enemies to kill at home before going abroad.
