I just don't get how these morons honestly don't grasp the idea that America's global "reach" is entirely dependent on having military bases overseas in friendly countries.

Do they honestly think their influence remains the moment they're told to get their troops off the fucking continent and every country pulls a Norway and stops refueling their ships?

I suspect that they honestly think that they can bully the world into allowing us to keep our troops wherever we like. While I’m sure that will work for some weaker-willed countries, I fully believe that the rest will tell us to sit and spin.

I suspect the wanna-be autocrats in the country where nothing can seemingly get the populace off the couch might be projecting a little bit.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They’re well past wannabe.

[–] wwb4itcgas@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago

Well, yeah. Except in the sense that they're shit at it. Like everything else.

There's an extreme derangement in the exchange, which if you did not RTFM, is "complaining that we are helping Europe with Yemen strikes."

It is as if they are forced to murder people to protect genocide, and not doing so for Israel's benefit. With future aims on Iran.

The self delusion of not knowing why they are doing evil, and for whom, and complaining that their evil should be supported by Europe, because Israeli supremacism is an axiom, is the news here.

As usual, scandal reporting turns into pure stupidity. "Did Russia get secret info on targetting". If they did, they didn't stop attack.

What should be top secret is how much the US cabinet hates Europe, and its intent to destroy it, and extort it into Israel agenda. That is the leak that ensures division/reluctance of allies if they have any self respect, and need political cover for enslaving their population to US colonial control, that includes "America loves us" propaganda. The displayed level of contempt over lack of enthusiasm for genocide, is "top secret" evil exposed.

Gotta love it when a bunch of 4-chan troll man-children are systematically destroying the United States of America.

Gotta love it even more when you realize a significant portion of the country identifies with 4-chan troll man-children and throws their support behind them.

Fall of an empire.
