He is really good at talking out of his ass. The moment he starts talking about something your an expert in, the bullshit he spews becomes obvious.

It's so slow and anything that happens is kinda stupid. Character motivations are all over the place.

Generalizations of a single person based on where they live make for bad assumptions about them. I do not subscribe to American exceptionalism. I did as a child raised in a republican household, but not as an adult.

I do generally agree though. Most US citizens see themselves as superior to others. I hope the next 4 years help those people see otherwise, but probably not.

Holy shit dude. You deleted your comment but i can still see it. The incredible sense of self importance you project onto me and other US citizens is your own problem.

Ok? What a pointless opinion. Reality is we, as in the whole world, aren't going to fix my country by being obtuse.

Yes?

Most of us fucking hate it. And I fear we may become the next fascist superpower.

Our internal politics are probably more important than the entirety whatever country you live in. We spend way too much on our military for you not to pay attention.

I personally will never support any sort of invasion and won't give a shit if our soldiers die because of it. Wish the rest of the country would get on board.

My dad is genX and uses it the same way. I have explained it to him multiple times that it's like sighing at someone.

I'm an American who works primarily with Canadians. Their opinions are very eye opening.

The nuance you're missing is based in American exceptionalism. You are no different than a Russian citizen, stuck under a government you/I hate. Focus on what you and your family can control.

Yeah I've never heard anything good about jeeps in general. Now they are being run further into the ground by trying to become a luxury brand. At least when it was just a shitty jeep, it was still a somewhat cheap shitty jeep.

Having a memory longer than 6 minutes. I would love for my country to be turning against Russia, but the orange one is 100% on Russia's side as always. My money is on us supplying Russia or even boots on the ground in a few years.

Source without an actual source.

Assuming it's all true. No shit money goes to organizations that provide aid. And the amounts that are being spent are almost nothing. For example in my job $100 million contracts are common for single locations.

The whole situation is literally the rich guy pointing at a poorer person and telling you to be mad they got pennies while the rich guy is shoveling billions into their tax breaks.
