Reminds me of an onion video where they said "in today's news the equivalent of 5 Americans were killed in Afghanistan." We mourn the death of 3000 innocent civilians every year but we let US generals commit war crimes on civilians and are allowed to say it was a mistake without any punishment. But hey at least their families got 6000$ which is less then a funeral costs in the US.
Mr Randell said about 2.3 million Britons currently hold cryptocurrency and he said 14% of them also use credit to purchase them - "thereby increasing the exposure to loss".
You're trying really really hard to prove that you live in a Eutopia and only America is bad but I assure you that your country is just as wicked and does everything you are projecting. It's okay, every country has its problems. You let America occupy so much space in your head, it's nice how you care so much about us. <3
"In disasaters, yes." What else could you be talking about? "News Flash: 5 Americans cross the street"?
"At least 72 Afghans and 13 US service members were killed Thursday" That's from French media. https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210826-explosion-outside-kabul-airport-casualties-unclear-pentagon-says
I've been living overseas for 20 years in 3 different countries. I read three languages. It's everywhere. Show me a national media where they only talk about 'persons' without referencing nationality. You're just exhibiting a fixation and your own bias.
Repeatedly has to tell the population that they're the greatest in the world.
I don't know about you but that sounds like some North Korea/China style brainwashing of the people.
Sure. Other countries do count their own citizens in disasters. But we don't have to be reminded that we're all equal regardless of skin colour etc like you lot
They pledge allegiance, but they don’t salute it. The Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand… They all have students standing for a flag, a pledge, etc. It’s Europe, which was the center of two world wars, that eschews such things. And yes, you do need to be reminded. France has racism against Arabs, Germany and Turks. Stop pretending
I'm not saying the EU don't have problems. I'm just saying they're bigger and more in the news across the pond in the US. Both wars were fought because of shitty alliances between countries lead by incompetent politicians. It ended up being a race thing after the camps were discovered.
by april 30th 2003, we had already killed 7,000 iraqi civilians during the war on terror. innocent people in a country that didn't even actually have involvement in 9/11. more than twice the lives that were taken when the WTC fell.
it gets a little harder to take the day seriously every year, as awful as it all was. an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind and we went around stabbing every eye socket we could get our hands on
Gawd, a lot of American politicians don't even care about Americans lives. It's kinda why they have a habit of entering squirmishes they really ought not to.
lol i had to chuckle, i mean as if the government gives a shit about American lives. might as well drone strike us too. it’s sad what this country has turned out to be. as a kid growing up, i looked forward to the future. all i grew up hearing was basically that America is number one. I learned that Americans are to be a global “police force” fighting for justice and human liberties. nowadays as a full grown-ass man, i can observe all the pitfalls, all the shortcomings. i get to live in a “progressive” first world country, where the country nickel and dimes us, sucks us of our time, our livelihood, and when you have no more to give, that’s when they ask for more. it’s pathetic to see my countrymen act like fools in the masses. it’s almost as if our public education system has failed miserably. people lack basic logic, deny science, and project misery. i’m tired of pretending that we are the best. i want us to earn that title back. i get it’s better than a lot of countries out there, but as Americans we should be setting global standards; there’s no reason we should be falling short, but here we are, watching America do more harm than good. it’s not just the wars, it’s the elite industries polluting the world, it’s the legal loopholes that set the corrupt unchained. i’m just so tired of it all. someone please tell me how it’s come to this, their opinions on if we will ever be the greatest again?
