Republicans drop less bombs on us than dems do
Guess “us” isn’t inclusive of Afghanistan or Iraq. Also pretty sure it’s fewer, tankie.
Or Laos
Correcting a non native English speaker on their English is such an own
67 nations have English as an official language and it’s an assumption to say this person isn’t from one of them. God forbid I’m a little cheeky on a roasting community.
It doesn’t sound wrong, enough that I’ve probably used that phrase in the past.
drop less bombs on us
Wow, the word “us” is doing a hell of a lot of work there!!!
.ml is hilariously transparent about being right wing/Russian trolls. It’s like the whole thing is one big tryout for troll farms where they can test out new hires before sending them on to reddit and Facebook.
It’s so obvious and pervasive that you really have to assume that the admins are in on it.
They’re currently arguing with several people and quadrupling down. I’m pretty sure trump’s deal with bombs was not to reduce the number dropped but to instead reduce the information available about the number dropped. As a result, the only reasonable conclusion is that they consider Ukraine and Israel to be parts of the US and count their actions, but even then it’s far, far fewer bombs dropped. So it’s a game of “nostalgic or brainwashed.”
This, like 95% of tankies, strikes me as being an avid watcher of Hassan and pals. They all endlessly regurgitate information from that racist little nepo baby without thinking it through.
This is – unironically – the only pro Trump viewpoint I have ever encountered that ever made sense to me.
I was arguing IRL with a group of central Asian people about US politics, and they said more or less, I just know Obama did all sorts of bombing and drone strikes and sanctions, and I know ever since it’s been Trump he’s been pulling the US military out of places and we’ve finally been able to get some good stuff done. I like Trump, Biden’s gonna support Israel and all sorts of other enemies to us and so fuck him, we like Trump.
Honestly? I couldn’t even say anything. Like yes, if you’re aligned more or less against the United States, then Trump is probably a good thing. I definitely don’t agree with it – their definition of “good stuff” wasn’t one I agreed with, and there are plenty of people who are very very bad people who also are not on the same side as the US. I don’t think that it would be a good thing letting Russia crush Ukraine or China crush Taiwan or any other little minor massacre on the world stage that we’re preventing instead of causing for once. But, if you’re telling me that’s your viewpoint and why you support Trump, I definitely won’t say you are wrong.
I find it to be a naive viewpoint because if American influence contracts that power vacuum will be filled by authoritarian nations like China and Russia. If anyone thinks groups like Wagner are better for places like Africa than the US has been I think they’re lying to themselves. Not even saying the US hasn’t exploited and manipulated much of the world, it’s just that things can always get worse.
Yeah. It depends what country you’re in, but I think a lot of what the US does on the world stage is just a function of what happens when you have a giant concentration of money and military power all in one place, and getting rid of the US will make things exponentially worse because even the flimsy little democratic guard rails on the US government are better than anything else that’s currently on offer.
I think the solution is to work on strengthening the guard rails, instead of assuming that if we just reduce the power of the US government because it does terrible things (which, it does), the world will all of a sudden become a nice or fair place in its absence.
Its hard to do an apples to apples comparison, because like conflicts change. But Trump dropped more bombs per year than Obama did. The number under him also sharply increased for his first year and than decreased year by year after.
Hello, fellow peace-loving comr… friend. Friend. We concerned individuals in world’s warm-water ports prefer republican government in Washington.
