Wow 46% of Europeans have briefly paid attention to anything America has done in a foreign country for the last 70 years.

[-] supafuzz@hexbear.net 31 points 5 months ago

lol that any dummies in the EU think they're safer than Ukraine just because they're Western Europe, like the US gives a fuck

As Henry Kissinger so honestly put it: β€œIt may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.”

Haven't USians been doing that already considering they destroyed Nordstream gas pipeline?

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 24 points 5 months ago

yeah it's just public perception catching up with the reality

[-] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 12 points 5 months ago

No one knows about that. It's all "not conclusive". Even linking the WaPo isn't enough to sway what people hear from everywhere else.

Normies need to wait a decade and then when it's confirmed will go, well yeah we always knew that.

Just because Joe Biden explicitly said he wanted to blow it up a year prior, just because there was a US naval vessel right in the immediate area shortly before it occurred, and just because the US has profited immensely from it while also giving Russia the bird does not mean the US did it sweaty

Last I saw they were blaming it on rogue Ukrainian elements (do not ask where they got the equipment, training, or why there was a NATO naval exercise practically right on top of the pipeline).

NATO was designed to keep the Soviet Union (now Russia) down, Germany out, and the US on top.

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 17 points 5 months ago

they should do a poll on what country bombed NordStream 2

Europeans are just slightly more aware Americans.

[-] knfrmity@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 5 months ago

Europeans are just USians with healthcare (for now) and a couple more remaining unions.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 11 points 5 months ago

Still (just) under half. Good that they're learning, but I wonder how many would want to leave NATO (or other military treaties)?

[-] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 10 points 5 months ago

[Narrator]: We already did.

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 9 points 5 months ago

And they're doing it now.πŸ’β€β™‚οΈ

The USA loves a war, and makes a fuck load of money off one. I doubt it.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 9 points 5 months ago

I expect US will be focusing on trying to start a war with China. The whole point of this war was to try and break Russia before taking on China, now that the war has run its course, US will move on and leave Europe holding the bag.
