Are you being purposefully obtuse? You could say the exact same thing about Robin Hood.

It just goes to show how England brained America is. What business does America have making movies and TV shows about a 12th Century English folk hero? America hadn't even been discovered in the 12th Century, how can you have context in the US for his actions?

It's a story about a little guy who broke the law to stand up for the greater good while risking his own life to do so. That kind of heroism is borderless. Luigi Mangione may have killed one person but the person he killed was responsible for the death and chronic pain of thousands. I think we English understand that very well indeed.

The EU has the second biggest economy in the world and contains 3 of the G7 nations (4 if you include the UK, which will almost certainly pivot back to EU membership in the next few years). All member states are part of NATO and France, Germany and the UK possess a significant nuclear arsenal.

But yeh, no real power.

PS 500 years ago, the economic power was Western European countries like France, England, Portugal, Spain.

Hooray for substances

But he was far too into pawn

I dunno, I'm certain that there will be a great number of folks with enough cognitive dissonance to validate whatever he does in their own minds, but I still think that it would sink him.

So Trump is now connected to not one, but two prominent paedophiles... Well we'll well, Seems to me his ring just got a little smaller.

Kodi with Real Debrid. I have used it for a couple of years now. Can get everything as soon as it comes to streaming. I run it through an nvidia shield but you can use fire sticks or chromecast, you also need a VPN and ~$10 every 6 months subscription fee. It's a bit of an upfront cost and will take maybe half an hour to set up but it's totally worth it. I haven't paid for a single streaming channel in about 5 years so it's paid for itself several times now.

Kodi with Real Debrid is the way

He's in Putin's pocket for sure. You remember the closed door meeting with him and Putin his first time in office? Putin came out looking smug af and Trump looked like he'd just seen the ghost of his dead dad. Trump was best mates with Epstien and famously can't keep it his pants. My bet is that Putin has footage of him fucking a minor and is threatening to release it unless Trump toes the line.

Unfortunately, Stamer has a massive majority and can therefore only be ousted by his own party, which he has fairly effectively (so far) brought to heel. The only issue that he is being challenged on is the benefits freeze for disabled people but I expect he will walk that back in the not too distant future to make it look like he's listening.

I completely agree about the voting reform. It will be an uphill battle but it's not impossible. The UK has changed so much since 2011 the Tories have bled the UK dry and this Labour party are as left wing as David Cameron. It's getting the message across to the Gen Zers and younger that voting reform is the way forward rather than letting people like Nigel Fuckface control the narrative.
