But that isn't the case so everyone should be super concerned.
Ur alphabet soup bureaus delete ppl kinda at will and start wars that congress doesn't have to approve because they call them #NotAWar, u have obvious political dynasties emerging in your republic, u have institutionalized political bribery, u have a press complicit in the maintaining of the status quo to the point of a mental disorder, you are losing ground to China as far as your global hegemony is concerned, u have a total disconnect of the alleged sovereign body of your polity ("the people") from your entire foreign policy which happens to be a huge part of the source of your wealth.
Trump being wacky is really not the core of ur issues dewd
You have a *very* violent society by rich place standards, you have obvious identity rifts between different communities in ur country, u have poor sanitation
like
there is SO many problems
Muttica is facing rn
If anyone thinks Trump is the big one, they are daft
Lemme just list all the negative things about your country and then end with the conclusion that your society as a whole is very violent, divided and generally falling apart cause that's a proper argument that will hold up to scrutiny
And I can prove it, kiddo. With my opinion.
The list of problems is real. The level of violence in (some) inner cities *is* really high and I never said falling apart
But you're painting it as if this was specific to the US
And yes, I think that, considering all that, being afraid of orange man is not exactly a top priority
Am I?
Like, if other buildings are on fire, does it make it OK that your property is on fire?
This is not a contest
I'm not trying to bash the US
Point taken
I don't think the US is bad at all though
It's just so easy to focus on the problems
Dat is universally the case really
and focus on the problems, cause they bother u
Yeah, people forget poverty used to be the norm not so long ago
absolutely
and, in terms of poverty, even the ghettoest places in the US area not even CLOSE to starving
or even having nutrition problems
other then perhaps a stupid diet
basically: even the poorest niggers in the US have access to food and many amenities
it's pretty good
all things considered
Things that bother me the most about the US are, among other things, their foreign policies
It's about time they remove their grip and worry about themselves
Even North Korea worries about its own shit
But I guess other nations need to remain destabilized for a constant fresh influx of cheap labor
To a certain extent, I will agree - that it would be better to relax on the external pressure and hedge up the interior (infrastructure, societal and so on). However, as the current world order has progressed, if matters aren't tended to they tend to quickly get out of control and the enmity of the Arab world against everyone else just won't go away.
*Arab* world? Lets see... Morocco is no threat to anyone and stable. Algeria is at its most stable since the war with France. Tunisia is slowly becoming a western-style democracy, Libya has been deleted by European incompetence, Egypt is pretty stable and plugged into the international community, Syria has been deleted by the US, Iraq and Lebanon are largely aligned with *non-Arab* Iran, all the peninsular states are American allies super interested in the maintaining of their oil exports and are either aligned with Iran or are in open opposition to it.
The Arabs are mostly ON THE SIDE OF THE US against Iran or support Iran in a few cases, literally most of which are the US' own fault for shitting on them so much they don;t really feel like they have a choice.
C-H-I-N-A is the big daddy global threat rn, not some global Jihad nonsense. That was blown way out of proportion to begin with and mostly to justify foreign interventions (code word for bombing the shit out of countries)... After China there is a large gap, and then, as a far lesser threat, the Russians.
Yep, I'm also looking towards China
A few months ago Arab leaders met with US and Israel to discuss what to do with Iran
it was just before the Iran shit started...
Oh, without a doubt China is the premier concern. I was just using the Arabs as low hanging fruit.
The big question rn, assuming no actual war with China is gonna happen in the near future, is will the Germans/EU actually do something.
