    The amount of Americans who have told me I should keep my opinions to myself about their politics is hilarious. They don’t see the hypocrisy in it. These people blew up half my country to keep Russia out of this continent and now their president is a Russian stooge. They have spent the last 50 years moralizing and telling every country on earth how to manage their affairs but now we have to keep our opinions to ourselves

        Exactly, that’s why I like to leave it vague, cause it really brings the point home. I’m from Central America, lots of American funded death squads and cia “communist” hunters just disappearing entire families and turning my country into a neo colony. Those same war hawks who used my country as a proxy battlefield now suck Putin dick

            Same. Was there even a single continent the US left alone, except perhaps for Australia? (Not counting military bases there)

              US helped and encouraged Indonesian occupation of East Timor. I think that’s as close as we got to Australia, other than some military bases.

              We have left Antarctica alone militarily speaking, but I don’t think that counts. We wouldn’t even start a war with emus penguins
