๐ฟ will the US implode before it can start a world war?
Find out in 2-3 weeks.
I'm slowly starting to believe that a US started world war can only be prevented by a US started US civil war.
I've been thinking that for weeks now.
Nah, most people in the US have no idea any of this is going on. For the vast majority of Americans, their daily lives have not been affected at all. None of my coworkers are talking about ICE. Personally I haven't seen* a single ICE officer since Trump entered office. They only go after the "liberal" states. Purple and Red states are being left alone for the time being.
Reminds me of that poem. How does it go again? "First they came for the...."
Couldn't agree more. But such is life.
Not only that, imploding could further inflame the world. If a collapsing us goes into Greenland, and the EU splits in half over whether to side with Denmark or the US (remember, Poland is totally dependant on US nuclear deterrent, they are not likely to abandon that). That will empower Putin to move in. That China will be unrestrained is not even questionable. Things will get hotter everywhere.
Lmao I want what you are smoking, Poland won't side with the US over Europe
Poland has PiS in the government for 8 years? 12? They don't want Ukrainian refugees either and have a strong connection to the US due to their Christianity and thus their "values". Tusk has had trouble getting laws through because the PiS president keeps vetoing them.
Poland hates Russia with a burning passion. If push comes to shove this year, the EU won't be able to defend them from Russia. The majority of the union didn't take The Pooteen threat seriously and hasn't scaled up to a pre-war economy. The US will always be ready. The decision, IMO, is quite clear. Poland wouldn't fight the US.
Aside from the snark, I hope you are right.
wat?
He's afraid of saying retarded on the internet.
If anything the hashes drew more attention to it.
well, that's retarded
Then just choose another word and use that.
You clearly don't care about that policy too much since you still used it. Just call them dipshits or smooth brained or something instead
You could just select a different word.
