I'm interested to hear from people around the world on a few subjects. Answer as many questions as you like.

  1. What country are you from?

  2. In general, what do you think of the USA?

  3. Has this viewpoint changed over the last few years?

  4. On a global scale, how you think the actions of the USA will play out over the next few years.

  5. How has the US actions affected you personally this last year?

  6. Anything else you want to add.

    Right now, they know that openly ordering a massacre on protesters will result in the military turning on them. And the protesters know that if we push them too far, we'll be the first casualties in a civil war that could turn literally fire-in-the-sky nuclear overnight.

    You do realize we're trying to fight back against the largest military on planet Earth, right? Carefully calculated risk assessment and lawfare is our option right now. Eventually, it'll be like two tectonic plates grinding at a fault line. Something will slip. And when it does, it'll be an earth-shaking catastrophe. All of us are just... waiting. Waiting for the other shoe to finally drop.

    Right now, most people I know here are drafting exit and escape plans because we are that scared of our own fucking neighbors. If you know anyone in Eastern Europe, ask them how things worked out for their families when the USSR broke up. And promise me you'll do something nice for them afterwards, because digging out that PTSD means you owe them for bringing it up at all.
