Such a gross, slimy monster. The xenomorph is creepy, too.

From my country, it's just surreal to watch the lack of reactions from Americans. It looks like they mostly support the actions of the co-nazi dictators, a really bad picture to say the least.

Im honestly scared. I’ve been hopeful towards every election, but that hope is gone. The left has been surging in polls but I’m fearing a cdu+afd government.

The crazy half is in control right now and there's not much we can realistically do. With the amount of Republicans who like the current situation and bootlickers who are indifferent protests or other means aren't likely to affect anything. Maybe if the US slides into another great depression public sentiment can shift enough to make a change but until then no one should be treating us like a rational country.

ha. well I'm not evil, I care, and I haven't lifted a finger. why? cause the way it works here is money. if u want to do something, no matter how good or evil, you need a lot of money...

It wasn’t a real deal anyway. Like Dr Evil asking for one hundred billion dollars.

And I think you're seeing this ending up a whole lot differently than I am. I think Trump and Putin carved up Ukraine in their phone call. That Russia isn't going to allow any troops but Americans into Ukraine to secure the "negotiated peace", that they will threaten to fire on any NATO country that sets foot in Ukraine except for the Americans. Russia will keep what they invaded and took plus some, the US will get to rape Ukraine of it's rare earth minerals in the rest using Ukranian ports to export them to the US under the guise of reparations for aid given in the last 3 years. That's how I see it playing out. Europe is going to have to decide how important Ukraine is to it, and given European history, they talk a big game, but when it comes down to it, they'er going to decided to protect their own borders, rather than forcing their way into the meat grinder between the US and Russia.

I suspect Trump hopes Putin will give him 20% anyway

There's always has to be the "Fuck You I Got My Own" factor

Indeed. Some Ukranians collaborated with Russia and presumably some still do..

Honestly loving the fire in Canadian belles I'm seeing recently.

When you say footage, do you mean like actual combat footage? If so I think that's excellent. You are absolutely right the US is completely isolated from the reality of unpleasantness that is often in the world, often because of us. Our only exposure to real evil and violence is in movies and TV and everything else is 'tastefully' censored. So we debate policy like war and diplomacy completely isolated from the actual reality that those policies create.

I heard our respect is way up with both the KKK AND the Illinois Nazis.

I am also in the US and horribly disappointed in how our population let the world's stupidest and vilest people manipulate them into giving over control. I really had high hopes for America, democracies are really our best hope for the future.

But now I just want it to accelerate, we need the shit to really hit the fan so our population wakes up and realizes who the real enemies are, the putins and musks and trumps and millers and bannons... they are the beasts that stalk us in the modern age and need to be put down or taken away and the only way this will happen is enough people become uncomfortable enough that they forget the narratives and storylines that manipulate us so easily.

Unfortunately, he lost the people who have the power to actually help him.

The EU outranks China in terms of economical and political influence, exporting standards and even laws with market and soft power. Only took a couple of years until states all over the world started copying the GDPR, noone anywhere is producing phones without USB-C charging any more, and those are just prominent examples. And people don't even realise how big of an impact the CSDDD will have.
