unfortunately, even if we don't live in the US, the consequences of their stupid decisions affect all of us

    What if I live in the UK? It's pretty fucking shit here, too. Only real positive is that the Green Party are absolutely surging now. I've been Green for years, but I think I chose the best year to finally try and become a councillor. I live in hope that there are enough people left in this country with enough sense to vote someone in who actually gives a crap about fixing some of our problems, and not creating potential global wars...

    It's great even if you're a several hundred thousand-aire. The rest of us suffer.

    that's the really crazy part about all of it; if you have more than 2 paycheck sitting in the bank, then you're already in the top 33%.

    and if your bank balance is measure in five figures on top of that (w the first number being higher than 2); then you're automatically in the global top 10%. (and an overwhelming majority in this class are trump supporters. lol)

    From Canada, this sounds especially ominous. We don’t have enough of a human population to fend off 300M Americans, so I think we need to focus our efforts on grizzly bear and wolf breeding programs.

    Nah, you don't need to fend off 300M Americans, 'only' 60% of it, the other 40% will side with Trump even if he would literally and personally torch their houses lol.

    40% of their crazies is 120M, compared to our total population of 40M (and let’s assume about 2-4M of ours are Maple MAGAs.

    Even if they have 180M who would see our side of things, that group has had enough trouble within their own borders, so we can’t rely on them to solve our problems.

    USA is the only nation that matters on this planet and probably in the universe.

    Every time you eat a pizza, listen to Led Zeppelin or go to church on a Sunday remember that America invented it.

    It's hilarious that there are people from the US who would think that you're serious.

    Just recently I followed a discussion where multiple Americans thought 'we are the champions' is an American song and obviously about America.

    Idk. Both have problems. 1950s feels like less murder compared to 2026. But maybe I'm just being nostalgic for diners and American homeownership.

    It's the era where the CIA was operating within US borders, torturing and experimenting on US citizens. Women couldn't have bank accounts. Everything had lead in it. Workers were basically huffing asbestos.

    I could go on, but you get the idea. I'm sure it was nice for a few people, but the average American was worse off than you or I today.

    Kinda sucks here ngl, but Europe is SO small. Like that high school graduate who came back from gap year to a high school party saying he traveled β€œall over Europe” just to pick up girls. Come on guy, it’s like a metro rail pass and a two weeks time.

    Yeah, it sucks in the US but we only have to deal with OUR idiots, we don’t have to deal with our own idiots PLUS a neighbor’s that are crazy unstable. I’m not in missile range of anything since the 60’s. Just saying.

    I hate it to break it to you, but buddy, you are the neighbours that are crazy unstable. Your people shoot each other in the face constantly.

    And Trump absolutely does have access to missiles he very well might be pointing at your ass at some point.

    You and agree with each other. You aren’t telling me anything I don’t know. What I’m saying is WE have to deal with our own idiots. We don’t have insane neighbors willing to double down on the aggression less than a few hundred miles away. A few hundred miles could be a weekend drive to see family in the US.

    OK... 2 seconds on Google:

    • United States: 9.8 million square kilometers.
    • Europe: 10.2 million square kilometers.

    Do you also need me to search for kilometer?

    Yes but he has a point : you can't travel in the USA by train, it's a fucking nightmare. Whereas in EU it's quite easy and cheap.

    I don't think most of Europeans are particularly afraid of being in missile range of anyone but the US, right now.

    And the only country that doesn't really fit in with the EU in terms of overall values at all is Turkey, so not a lot of crazy neighbours around overall.

    And, to be honest, if the US had a modern public transport system you could probably visit anywhere worth going in a couple of weeks too.

    I'd imagine the crazy neighbour is russia. I think they qualify, and the country is in europe.

    What's funny to me is that russia also borders the US. It's not a land border, but the gap isn't exactly huge.

    Europe is SO small

    Depends on what you count as Europe. If you include Turkey, Caucasus and/or the western part of Russia, it is fucking huge (~7500 km drive from Vorkuta to Cabo da Roca). Even if you only count EU countries, it's still not that small (~5000 km drive north-to-south). And it's also way denser than the US so there's more to see overall, you can't even explore any single country comprehensively in two weeks time (apart from microstates, of course)

    I mean, you haven't NOT been in missile range since the 60s, that's when the Soviets really got their ICBMs online. Don't need to put missiles in Cuba if they got the range to launch the from home.

    We just stopped CAREING about being in range once it got to the point that we couldn't actually do anything about it

    in the US

    don’t have to deal with (..) neighbors that are crazy unstable

    On a scale from Bud Light Lime to Everclear, how drunk are you on American garbage alcohol right now? πŸ™„

    I’m not in missile range of anything since the 60’s

    Fun fact: in 2026 you're thousands of times more likely to be killed by a bullet from a handgun in the US than by a missile in any other European country than Ukraine.

    Just saying that you're full of shit. Because you obviously are.

    I didn’t say anything about Americas bullet problems and I certainly didn’t say anything about ICBM’s which we are ALL in range of. Im saying I’m not waking up tomorrow morning to an anti-missile battery defending me from a hail of dumb fire missiles or long distance drone strikes.

    Haven’t had a drink in years, btw.

    I am grateful to live in the USA. My life is great. I fish, I camp, I BBQ, I have a stable career (that at least pays my bills if nothing else).

    If you stop living on social media and feeding yourself outrage constantly it's pretty damn great actually. I have never even SEEN and ICE agent and I live in a hot spot πŸ˜†
