its going to be exciting to watch on tv if trump is able ton conquer some shit

So this is what it's like to be Chinese.

 

[M1chl]

Completely agree and that's part of the reason why more people want to go to America (and NA in general) than the rest of the world combined.

The argument against America is there is almost too many individual rights.

The biggest reason is money, personal freedoms is definitely not so great in States, given that you can't even jaywalk or drink alcohol in public. From my perspective, two fundamental rights

You absolutely can jaywalk in 100% of the country. Public drinking requires a brown paper baggie which is supplied upon request to alcoholics

I thought you can get fined for that tho?

Also my post was little sarcastic

Nah, everyone jaywalks. Realistically you’ll only be fined if you do something crazy.

For example, in Austin TX someone got a ticket for jaywalking and it was the first time in something like 50 years and made headlines in the news.

Americans and Europeans are pretty far away from each other, so it’s understandable that a lot of misconceptions persist!

 

[AJUMP23]

Dude. You have a warped and entirely inaccurate view of what Europe is like. It's probably best not to comment too much on foreign countries if you haven't actually been there. Certainly don't believe the stuff you see on social media.

I have been through much of Europe (I was born in Germany). And while I was using the extremes of hyperbole. I know Europe is a free place. with freedom of movement and thought.

On the coming to get you stuff I think there has been a lot of talk about how the UK is very draconian with social media post.

You can jaywalk. I do it in every major city I have been to. and most cities have areas where you can have open alcohol. But you can drink in every restaurant in the US. We may still have a dry county or two but I don't know of any.

 

[Ballthyrm]

If the over-majority of Greenland Inhabitants want to join the USA then so be it.
If not, then it's just good old "might makes right".

So the USA would be no better than Russia or China.
I would still like to think the USA are the good guys but that's just me.

They dish them out in Oz (or Melbourne at least). I received a fine for jaywalking about 20 years ago - the police used to pop out periodically and stand on corners in the city to catch unsuspecting twats like me ignoring pedastrian crossings. I got a proper 'do you know how many people are run over and killed each year' lecure, which I attempted to counter with the fact there were literally no cars on the road at the point of crossing, however that didn't wash as seemingly in Australia danger persists regardless if there's any cars on the road.

Fascinating story I know.

 

[sharp weiner]

no thanks i don't want to be part of the USA

half of us are fiercely proud to be british and the other half want independence from the UK and feel more connected to celtic/scandinavian countries. don't think i've ever heard a scottish person say they want to join the USA lol.

I know. I was just making a dumb joke. My bad.

We’re not gonna conquer Greenland.

No, there is a thing called Life without Parole.

Certain crimes should be met with a permanent end.

Probably not, but Trump even hinting that he might is pretty serious and detrimental to transatlantic relations. People here are joking about it (some not joking as much...), but the president-elect of the USA saying such things is no joking matter. He thinks this is a game, a business where he can make "great deals" and bully those weaker than him.

They sanitize their images for us, but this is how the world works. This is always how the world has worked. He is just more blunt without the sugar coating illusion with his words.

He's too effeminate. Then again, probably how I would guess a Canadian 007 to be.

Denmark will correct the impudence of the United States on this issue. Danish commandos are renowned, and they will repel wave after wave of American troops unaccustomed to combat against real warriors.

I am only quoting this in support of my favorite post in this thread. Yall better beware.

In all seriousness though, there is alot of outrage of Nato vets from Denmark regarding this, they were not exactly a small presence during the last time USA invoked article 5.

There is a rough movie about it called Armadillo, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1640680/, actually rather a interesting watch.

It kind of makes sense when you think about how critical Trump has been about other countries freeloading off of the US military.

 

[Blade2.0]

You say that as if people check in to prison on a soul searching endeavour to better their life and not that they get sent there after commiting crimes and being caught.

Ok, so not every single person that goes to prison goes there forever. So do you want to release better people back into society or worse people back into society. I would like to treat them correctly so that they'll be better people when they come back to society. Not turn them into dogs that will never integrate.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I'm all for the Trump admin and for the wins here.

About time we had real leadership.

Buy Lake Titicaca.

He just keeps missing the "vice-versa" parts that other Nato countries have provided.

 

[FunkMiller]

Always slays me how Americans talk about taking over other countries, when they don't even have that much of a claim on their own

 

[Woggleman]

I thought people voted for him so we can focus on our own problems and not get caught up in all these conflicts. How does this fix the economy and crime?

It doesn't. He told people what they wanted to hear so he could regain power.

But that's Trump

No Donald, we don't want Quebec! No one wants Quebec, even Canada doesn't want Quebec!

I'm okay with that

He should be thanked for all the work he has put in to stamping out election fraud. The election before there was non-stop claims of fraud and illegal voting but this time there was apparently zero fraud.

unfortunately for Europeans, their feelings don’t matter. You would think they learned this lesson when the US blew up Germany’s pipeline and Germany couldn’t do a damn thing about it. Europe is a vassal state of the USA. It’s an occupied region. They get no say in the matter. Its just that simple and I don’t understand why Euros think it is anything but that.

You missing the non stop claims about fraud this election? Just isn't Trump saying it. Fraud is always claimed by the loser but in seriousness, we need to do better.

Investigation from Sweden, Denmark and Germany point to Ukraine commandos blowing up North Stream 2 pipeline.

Europe and Germany is not a vassal state of the USA. If it were, why did Trump have to threaten EU and Germany with USA leaving NATO when partners don't make the 2% hurdle? He could have just commanded it. Makes no srnse, right?

USA and EU are partners. USA has military troops and nuclear warheads stationed in Germany and other European countries to defend Europe against potential threats.

German people want USA to have troops here. It saved us billions and billions of dollars during cold war and is the reason why were able to recover to become the 4th biggest economy in the world after WW2.

We save money. US gets geopolitical advantages. It's a win win situation. Every US military operation in the middle East is done from Germany.

Europe (a whole continent) is a vassal state to the USA

Europe is an occupied region

Well done, mate.

You're clearly taking a leaf out of Trump's trolling playbook. This whole thread you've produced some masterful shitposting. Top tier stuff. Bravo

It's even more amusing that people in this thread think you're being serious

This is all pretty fucking stupid. but i'd like greenland to be a state before fucking canada. fuck those guys

You are absolutely unhinged.

(Or possibly a master troll.)

 

[Sophist]

The size of Greenland compared to the USA:

It's large, full of resource, and when the ices will melt, it will be livable. It's unthinkable to leave such a territory to a small country like Denmark.

I find it a little tough to believe that people still think the world works any differently from how I described it especially after the last few years.

I don't even like it, I wish Europe was independent and free, it's just not, and its leaders are fine with the arrangement.
