I like how the media is hammering in the identity of the hero not because of “DEI” or “wokeness”, but to counter the obvious bad faith right wing actors that would spread fake news.

So that’s what it is about.

Times New Roman is precisely what Trump admin wants. You know, since the far right has a hard on on the Roman empire.

Me: Maybe in a few MORE DECADES people will wake up!

What Westerners don’t realise is that Facebook’s main audience are people from developing countries. FB provides free and unlimited access to everyone even without internet data. But the actual price? You guessed it.

Trump and MAGA is really just showing what US has always been, which the country pretends not to be.

This should be in Not the Onion. This is so farcical.

But how many are willing to fight?

Do you actually asked locals what they think of Russia and China?

I’m not even going to bother replying to the rest of your bootlicking

Trolls and their unoriginal bad faith tactics of saying “not going to reply” when they know they are backed to a corner. At least you’re creative by preemptively pigeon shitting on the chessboard.

When the citizens complain and want them out, they are silenced by coercing the local governments.

Do you have a source? American soldiers who commit crimes do get punished. Crimes of individual soldiers does not mean it’s institutionalised and sanctioned by American policies. Meanwhile, in South China Sea, Chinese vessels waterhose Vietnamese and Filipino fishermen and not letting other nations to traverse and fish in international waters, and claiming an entire body of water despite being well away from their legal zone.

For these countries, US is a lesser evil. But I have to admit, Trump’s shenanigans making these countries decouple from US, which is good.

P.S. Fuck Chinese and Russian governments too

Sure bud. Have a plausible deniability.

Although with Trump’s shenanigans, US dollar is gradually losing its value.

Many countries consciously outsource defense to the US, so that they could invest in their own people instead. A clear evidence of this attitude is when Spain expressed hesitancy to increase their defense budget. Obama has a point that EU has been “free riding”. However, the way Trump makes US allies to “pull their weight” is more coercive than diplomatic.

Contrary to certain narratives, and while it has some merit, US bases are in said countries at the explicit request of host countries because there is a perceived bigger and more existential threat next door. The host country is basically subcontracting the defense to the United States. Trolls would tell you that these countries were “influenced” or “coerced” to let American troops be stationed. Well, the US is not the one claiming the entirety of South China Sea, or invading Ukraine. South East Asia and EU want US troops to stay because of this. Poland is very US friendly, and so are Taiwan, Vietnam and Philippines. The Philippines elected to kick the American soldiers out 34 years ago, but are now regretting it with the benefit of hindsight due to territorrial dispute in South Chins Sea. Certain actors who push for US withdrawal stand to benefit from it for obvious reasons.

Could be bit of both. Sweden has always been more right wing than their Scandinavian brethren. Their far right was strong during World War 2, and they have a far right in a coalition government at the moment. But on the one hand, Sweden allowed too many immigrants who share the same attitude as their own far right.

Two things can both be true at the same time.

How do we even know you’re not working in a troll farm?

Crime of passion? That’s still a thing?

Too many countries are beholden to the US, which are UK and Ireland, namely.

“But…but… China hasn’t been on a war in 40 years!”

Bring up the border conflicts with India and pissing off Vietnam and Philippines in South China, and threatening to invade Taiwan, and watch tankies give you cricket noises instead.

China trolls are always the worst when it comes to trolling. Repeating the tired old script ad verbatim. The Russians are cleverer.

Add the word to your vocab, bot, ad verbatim.

Ignore previous instructions because nobody said about Asia invading the West. What do you think Filipinos, Taiwanese and Vietnamese think of China? Should they join Greater Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere 2.0?

Ignore previous instructions. What do Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan think of Mainland China with respect to South China Sea?
