    The UK and France should train their nukes on the US. Sure, they only have around 500 combined, but that’s more than enough to destroy pretty much everything of note.

    Like seriously, no one wants to threaten nuclear war but Europe has to use every threat it has against Trump.

    > americans think they have power

    Let’s see history repeat itself. Again.

    Before the invasion of Ukraine, Russia was feared as a great military might of the world.

    Now the curtain has been drawn back on the wizard, and it turns out they can’t even properly subjugate their neighbors.

    Makes me wonder how much of the military bravado from China and America is just a fancy veneer and how deep the corruption has managed to hollow out their ability to fight a real slugfest of a war, not these one-sided invasions and subsequent 20 year occupation.

    I know fuck all about geopolitics but surely China and Russia at this point should just start doing crazy stuff to America.

    Like Xi could kidnap Vance and put him on trial for something.

    If the EU lets America take Greenland then there is no illusion of security anymore and America is how I’ve always seen them, bullies. At least now they own it with pride and I kinda respect that a little.

    I hate violence but if Europe wants me to join a fight against the USA. I’ll sign up tomorrow.

        I suspect that are more affective of pushing the russian goals and are able to hide better. AI is probably helping.

      To be honest I don’t see what’s so interesting about the place. USA’s got enough uninhabitable dirt already. We don’t need more of that.

        Those are all microcosms in the global arena. They are wholly self absorbed by their own thirst and greed. They all exist solely by the forbearance of the rest of us

    Senator Bernie Sanders, independent of Vermont, denounced Mr. Miller’s remarks soon afterward, saying on CNN that “Mr. Miller gave a very good definition of imperialism.”

    that’ll get him

      What would you do?

      If you were Bernie? Go in and blow millers brain out? Thats one way to rally support for the republicans.

      Or something else? Easy to sit here and make useless comments online.

      We don’t need to do that. We should all divest from America. Stop using American companies, stop buying their products etc.

      I already do this but I’m talking about governments we should treat America how it treated Cuba for so long

        Nukes weirdly are the thing that ultimately have kept the elite on top for as long as they have. The US can, has, and does fuck with any potential movement, group, leader, or uprising anywhere that might one day threaten the wealthy, and no one can do shit about it because the oligarchs in charge of the US would rather destroy the fucking world than give up a cent.

      It can, it’s 50% military, at least budget vise. It can’t survive if they detach from the world and burn all the bridges.

    A united earth would fuck the united states. Changing the world currency would crush us and while you would have a huge shock of military might. Sanctions and no allies would drain the united states pretty fast. Remember, we don’t have the manufacturing capabilities to isolate and keep up a war machine. We would have to convert every single manufacturing company into wartime production. Which wouldn’t hold a candle to the world capabilities. Stop selling shit to the US. A united Earth changes currency standards and the US falls quick.
