Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

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

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: “It 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?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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).

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago

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

they should do a poll on what country bombed NordStream 2

Europeans are just slightly more aware Americans.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 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)?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

[Narrator]: We already did.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

And they're doing it now.💁‍♂️

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 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.

Yeah no doy.
