So World War 3 is going to be The US and Russia v Europe. The Chinese Government must be pissing themselves laughing

The rule is, if Trump says Europe is pushing for war, it means Trump himself is pushing for war. So I suggest we let that be the narrative, and react accordingly.

I mean 25% of Americans have toddler level intelligence. A bunch enjoy the taste of the sand they buried their heads in.

There is a reason a lot of us on Lemmy will outright tell you we are ashamed of our country. We have been. Despite our best efforts they push against us with stronger and more fervent anti-intellectualism.
