@Nordhand from the article you posted

2019-02-12 23:12:30 UTC  

Yes, as long as they converted to Catholicism, neat little catch you lot had.

2019-02-12 23:12:41 UTC  

Sure, but it didn't stop them

2019-02-12 23:12:43 UTC  

`Spain abolished slavery in Puerto Rico in 1873 and in Cuba in 1886`

2019-02-12 23:13:04 UTC  

Hm, kind of late isn't it?

2019-02-12 23:13:28 UTC  

Thats like right when we went to war for said territories

2019-02-12 23:13:49 UTC  

the main reason why slavery did end in Cuba in 1886 was that it did get it independence from Spain

2019-02-12 23:15:06 UTC  

Uhm Spain lost Cuba in 1898, slavery was already illegal by then

2019-02-12 23:15:34 UTC  

I mean come on man, I don't expect you to feel guilt over shit hundreds of years old, because we don't. But don't act like we started all the problems.

2019-02-12 23:16:19 UTC  

Well, it's not like I brought up this discussion

2019-02-12 23:16:41 UTC  

We had a system setup for over 200 years and now the Europeans are trying to butt in again when they're on fire.

2019-02-12 23:17:12 UTC  

How are we butting into US politics and system now?

2019-02-12 23:17:21 UTC  

America should be able to just ignore everyone, and be allowed to defend our borders.

2019-02-12 23:17:48 UTC  

So basically become North Korea

2019-02-12 23:18:17 UTC  

I say we cut our alliances and let people choose their fates, and just secure the Americas.

2019-02-12 23:18:22 UTC  

so we should meddle in your elections?

2019-02-12 23:18:29 UTC  

we should intervene?

2019-02-12 23:18:51 UTC  

Europe complains when we back off the global stage and then calls us world police when we intervene.

2019-02-12 23:18:52 UTC  

We should take our massive cock and slap all of you around before making you suck it?

2019-02-12 23:19:24 UTC  

We don't complain when you back off the global state, we complain when you make a mess of things and then just leave like nothing happened

2019-02-12 23:19:46 UTC  

We are tired of caring about the rest of the world. Why can't the world handle its own problems without us watching?

2019-02-12 23:19:51 UTC  

If we keep trying to fix things, how can we ever back off?

2019-02-12 23:20:07 UTC  

@EnderOctanus Because ironically, it's the system your country built in the last decades

2019-02-12 23:20:32 UTC  

What do you expect us to do, then? Sit and babysit everyone until the end of time?

2019-02-12 23:20:34 UTC  

From lisbon to vladivostock, europe should be russian

2019-02-12 23:20:58 UTC  

no thanks, Russians are trash people

2019-02-12 23:21:16 UTC  

at least they aren't ungrateful cur

2019-02-12 23:21:38 UTC  

We try to go back into isolation and you freak out that we broke Europe after you all raped each other...

2019-02-12 23:21:47 UTC  

@EnderOctanus of course not, but you can't complain about how *we* force you to become the world police when the US has been doing this on its own accord and building a system of dependence and inter dependence

2019-02-12 23:22:16 UTC  

so the government is the people then?

2019-02-12 23:22:46 UTC  

The government should always be the people

2019-02-12 23:22:52 UTC  

I thought the EU was going to handle all of that? You shouldn't NEED us anymore, because you sure as hell don't want nor welcome us.

2019-02-12 23:23:29 UTC  

And we kind of want to focus on fixing ourselves after creating world economies in just decades.

2019-02-12 23:23:30 UTC  

So if we hate the government of a foreign country we should hate their people too?

2019-02-12 23:23:42 UTC  

and we should actively remove them from existance?

2019-02-12 23:23:42 UTC  

It's not that we don't welcome you, it's more like we don't like you being a dick to us when we're key allies

2019-02-12 23:23:52 UTC  

you're nothing

2019-02-12 23:23:58 UTC  

Norway is a key ally

2019-02-12 23:24:03 UTC
