  3. So um, the united states just started another war in the middle east. We're going to need a shit ton more memes to distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring. Thanks in advance...

    Korea was a UN "police action" and Vietnam was a "conflict."

    Crucially, Congress did not formally declare war in either case, nor did they for the Gulf war, Afghanistan, Iraq, Grenada, etc.

      Don't think for a second we dont feel a strong flood emotions when we see the 66% of Americans who are a complete drain on the people around them face consequences for their actions(or inaction). The fact is, it doesnt happen nearly enough and it never changes anything.

      Has it ever crossed anyone's mind, that those of that didn't vote, was usually because we didn't approve of either candidate?

      I never approved of orange baby, plain and simple.

      Kamala was cool though, looking to help people and not deceive them, and I just might have voted for her.

      But even though I have no problem with a female president, she would have too many world stage problems with countries and groups that don't respect women at all.

      So, seeing both as a risk, why would I have voted for either? Like, why did Pete Buttiguieg drop out?

      That's the real question, what forces in play made my dude Pete drop out? I sure as hell would have voted for him!

        Might be the toughest opponent we've bombed since Iraq, which technically wasn't a declared war either.

        You're absolutely right, this won't likely get bad for Americans. Being so far away with a huge military insulates us from the consequences of our actions abroad.

            Yeah, certainly. Only an utter imbecile would attempt symmetrical warfare with the U.S.

            Asymmetric is the only way to go, and non-attributability would be the ideal.

              I hear you, the issue for me is that a third of your country people voted for the cunt, another third didn't care enough not to vote against the cunt, which leaves a large majority of Americans complicit in this - enough in my view to effectively use the term as a blanket reference to most people in the country.

              Speaking on a more granular level, I wish you well and the best of luck - but the majority of your population can go fuck themselves.

              Very clear explanation for xenophobia, no notes.

              E: won't support bigots no matter what. Sorry, not sorry at all.

                  Sorry to anyone living in the fascist dictatorship that is the US. Its clear that youve lost your democracy.

                  Also sorry for all of the innocent civilians living in Iran which are about to go through hell thanks to Israel running off and crying to the US

                    Its sad how much this sentence damages all democracys around the world. The fact these words have been made true is putins greatest victory. Putin aside, americans played a bigger role in giving up their own liberty. That is even more disgusting.

                      Hey now. We didn't start THIS war. Israel did. We just immediately rubbed one out and then gleefully joined in.

                      So... most of the old memes will probably still work.

                        What a wonderful response, objecting against someone that would have actually voted if Pete would have stayed in the running.

                        I may not have voted, but I know for a fact I would never vote for the diaper.

                        Like, why is it always a heads/tails coin decision?

                        And what the fuck is up with the Electoral College?

                          Sounds like some young people who haven't been through this before. This is not going to lead to a war. The USA has been bombing other countries continuously for decades.

                                Honestly though, despite all the protections put in place, it has taken just one person with no morals to ignore them all and as long as he and his cronies(lets not give him too much credit) stacked the other branches with his supporters he has been able to do whatever he wanted and its been very difficult to stop or reverse the damage.

                                Its quite shocking how much someone can hate a country whilst being in charge of it.

                                  So when the Padres got knocked out of the World Series last year by the Dodgers I was pissed. I didn’t want to put my support behind a team I didn’t love heart and soul. I felt comfortable doing that because it was a fucking sport trophy that happens every year and not who decided who held the office of the fucking President of the United States. You’re getting downvoted because you’re treating those two scenarios as exactly the same.

                                    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video that Trump called him after the strikes: “It was a very warm conversation, very emotional.”
                                    Speaking in Hebrew, he called Trump a friend of Israel like no one before him.

                                    Harris also loves Israel and hates Iran and seemed pretty warhawkish during her campaign

                                        What a wonderful response, objecting against someone that would have actually voted if Pete would have stayed in the running.

                                        I may not have voted, but I know for a fact I would never vote for the diaper.

                                        Like, why is it always a heads/tails coin decision?

                                        And what the fuck is up with the Electoral College?

                                        By not voting at all, you cemented Trump's victory.

                                        You don't get to say "well I wanted it to be different" now.

                                        Do better next time. Do something next time.
