An F-35 got hit by an Iranian missile yesterday. A TWO TRILLION DOLLAR project to create a jet that should supposedly be unassailable, got fucking clapped. Iran said it was shot down, US sources claimed it was severely damaged and had to do an emergency landing.

The US has no universal health care, crumbling infrastructure, a society in decline, and all for what? To just hand a bunch of cash to the ruling class through defense contracts, that's what for.

    To be absolutely fair: "Shot down" usually means the pilot was either killed, or had to bail, and that the jet crashed uncontrollably into the ground and was completely destroyed. It's pretty common to differentiate between "shot down" and "hit, but was able to land".

    I still don't know how to articulate the feeling I get seeing my country in decline but also seeing the world rearrange itself in a way that is probably healthier long-term as it happens. The Germans don't have some long frankenword for simultaneous relief and deep unease at the same time, do they?

    They have the biggest army in the world. Why do they need help from others? Why can't they help themselves?

    s/USA/Trump

    Many of us are stuck here, voted against any of this, and also don't want to die at the hands of stupid people. It'll have to get worse first which sucks but it's true.

    I'm so tired of this bullshit. You collectively voted for him. Trump is the USA as far as I'm concerned. The imperialist politics didn't start with Trump and won't stop with him. He's just a lot less subtle.

    Maybe if you're white and want to move to one of those countries that has very lenient blood citizenship.

    There are millions of other people trying to move to Europe right now who have both money and degrees, and if you're not in that venn diagram then you're likely SOL.
