What I hope for those in other countries, is that they understand that I had no control or decision of what vagina I fell out of or what dirt I landed on.
I did not choose to be American, I was just born here. And I most certainly do not agree or approve of any war.
I do hope most other decent people might agree with me.
Fuck Donald Turd.
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.
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.
A third did not vote for him. The popular vote was something like 51 to 48, which is insanely close. And a record number of people didn't even vote.
It's more like 1/6 voted for the asshole, and then the dems gave up the win before the night even ended.
I voted for Kamala Harris. Never liked that orange fuck.
You didn’t choose to be born American, but per your own admission in this thread you chose not to vote. So you can fuck all the way off with this sanctimonious bullshit.
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.
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.
No... It didn't just take one person...
It took years of planning, a carefully chosen selection supreme court justices and appointed individuals, a ton of media cooperation, billions of dollars, and half a voting population of gaslit idiots.
Don't chalk this up to just Trump... At least half the nation is culpable in its own destruction.
I’m not as mad at the 32% that elected trump as I am at the ones that sat at home and let it happen.
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.

Thanks guys, real glad we didn't vote for that evil fascist Harris and paved the way for Mr. No New Wars...
It was very important for palistine.
We saved Palestine, ~~Reddit~~ Lemmy!
FUCK
Careful there, we all got a lot of "America invades middle eastern country" memes, there's a surprising amount of themes to choose from.
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.
No, the Americans need to be consistently reminded of what their government is doing so that there's at least the slightest chance they'll put a stop to it. They don't get to ignore the problem, it's their job to fix it. They are not babies to be coddled.
I have no clue what to do. I'm American. I'm trans. I voted for Harris. I live in a blue state. I've gone to protests. I've talked to state senators about legislation. I've canvassed. I've talked to Trump supporters and tried to get them to change their minds.
it all feels totally useless. nothing I've done has had any effect. my own mom voted for Trump three times. it's like being chained to an anvil and thrown overboard. I'm swimming but I'm still drowning.
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.
I mean, I dont see how it isnt a war already, this kind of thing is an act of war after all, and the other side doesnt have to be capable of equal retaliation for the term to apply.
It doesn't really matter what you call it. W. and Obama normalized not declaring war on the countries you bomb. Unless the US plans to invade, it won't be a war in the traditional sense of the word.
The US hasn't declared war since 1942. It goes back way further than W or Obama.
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.
