Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"The United States has reached out to Denmark..."

You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.

America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.

OOTL... What's with the thank you meme?

It's what the administration demanded in order to 'talk to' Putin about ending the war in Ukraine.

Good lord... Don't tell me more. I can't roll my eyes any harder than I already am...

Trump/Vance and Zelensky had a meeting recently where it was ridiculous hostile and mentioned trival things like Zelensky didn't say thank you. I would recommend watching it but it very embarrassing for a "world leader" to be so hostile to a friendly nation.

That's why Zelensky went on x and thank everyone afterwards

Oooh... I did watch that video, just must have missed that part of it with all the other nonsense that went on in that meeting. It was embarrassing for sure

American responding here.

JD Vance and Trump both told Zelenskyy that he never said thank you for our help. They are such fucking twats and ignore how many times he’s said it in the past publicly.

Oh gotcha. Thanks for the response. Hopefully we as a country figure it out before it's too late. My Facebook feed doesn't give me much hope though...
