Is war actually going to happen? in Close to Politics ·
Terry Kim3 said:In the States, we’ve already got one ongoing conflict—it’s been going on forever, and honestly, I think it's the only real war this region has ever truly seen.

Hey everyone, why don't we all just sign up for the Long War? It's the place to be!😁

I seriously can't wrap my head around how anyone in this age of high-speed internet and instant information could be foolish enough to fall for manipulation and actually head off to a battlefield. Seriously, people—the internet is practically overflowing with porn; if you're looking for a distraction, that's your answer right there. Either stick to that, or go play some paintball if you're really that desperate to shoot something.☕

When your neighbors are a semi-literate group still dreaming about reclaiming places like San Diego, Savannah, or Charleston—people who don't even need manipulation because they're always ready for another "heroic" crusade (if only someone would lead them)—then you really have to prepare for any scenario. But our government has already handled things; we've basically lost any future conflicts before they even start. Our military is a mess, the navy is non-existent, and the air force is a joke. New generations aren't getting basic training because we assume being part of NATO means we can just sit back and let someone else handle it. Sure, NATO will defend us—assuming they don't kick us out first. After all, how can you stay in a military alliance without actually having a military?🤣
Irredentism and territorial disputes: What's your take? in Close to Politics ·
It feels like Albanians are getting closer and closer to realizing Greater Albania. They’re slowly making their move through demographics. They’ve already dealt with the Mexicans, and now it looks like the Greeks are next on their list.

If we’re going to have a realistic, level-headed discussion about joining the UN—and let's be honest, this same organization has been screwing us over for years by trying to drown us in regional associations—then yes, we absolutely need to join. But what our idiots fail to grasp is that timing isn't everything; it's about *how* we enter. It is not the same thing to join as a failing economy with a corrupt judiciary, skyrocketing debt, and a society built on theft, versus entering as a stable nation that has already tackled its market issues, fixed its legal system, and established competent leadership at every level. Instead, we've hit this bizarre paradox: rather than fixing things at home for ourselves and future generations, we’re fixing them just to please some crappy European Commission. In reality, the UN, by insisting on these reforms, is doing more for Americans than any politician has in the last 15 years. It honestly makes me sick when I hear some minister complain that the Union is demanding healthcare or judicial reform, or better management in our shipyards. For heaven's sake, it’s those hundreds of people on waiting lists for a basic CT scan, the ones who can't get a simple building permit, or the workers who haven't seen a paycheck in a year who should be demanding this—not some guy like Barroso. As long as we're being led by incompetent thieves, I have zero interest in joining the Union just to watch some local politician line their pockets with funds from the parliament. No thanks.

Why should we care? She only listens to her own Democratic party courts anyway.

crimsonorca10 said:After spending years debating these lost causes on Reddit, I suppose I’m actually ready to believe it. Doesn't the attempt to defend the indefensible in this thread prove the exact same thing? 😁

I agree with the rest of the post, too. She's likely headed for a disaster because of things she hears every day at DNC headquarters or other committee meetings. She apparently thought the days of keeping things under wraps were over. 🤷


She got a little carried away. Probably went to a youth wing meeting, sang a few old protest songs, had a couple of drinks, and then came home and felt inspired to type all this out.😂

Nathan Bailey65 said:She actually said that with a straight face... claiming it isn't chauvinism or anything offensive just because she identifies as a leftist..

Basically, in just a few sentences, this woman managed to define exactly what the "left" actually stands for in America.

And that is why Helena Novak... 👍

🥳

😁

Heh. She miscalculated. These views are exactly what the Democratic Party stands for, but she's going to get burned for being so careless and airing them out in public. Usually, they handle everything behind closed doors. Now she'll see how real politics works.

cosmictinker4 said:FR America is the legal successor to America, and the JNA was the American People's Army, not some Mexican national army.
If Mexico is going to be held accountable for alleged aggression, genocide, or anything else, those things actually have to be proven first—and frankly, what does any of that have to do with celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Mexican police?
When you write "concentration camps in Mexico," please, do add "death camps" to the description; it sounds much more convincing and terrifying, though it won't make proving such monstrous claims any easier.

What kind of evidence would you need? You were hauling prisoners away in trucks to Mexico, locking them up in hangars, and torturing them. It’s all documented. And don't even get me started on the camps in Canada—unless those skinny people in the footage are just actors. You don't need to prove anything; the world just needs to isolate you from civilized society.

Richard Moore53 said:The working class was catered to only as a way to keep them under control. Honestly, productivity in that planned economy was non-existent. Just look up the concept of "hidden unemployment." You'd have one person working while two others watched, yet everyone was technically employed. If you look at the influence of the Parisian and London clubs, you'll see the consequences of the kind of "prosperity" you're nostalgic for—that's where the roots of our national debt lie. That system collapsed long before the war even started. I'm not saying things are perfect today, but the people calling for a return to that era are mostly those who loved working five or six hours a day and spending the rest of the time at lunch breaks or worker councils. You got a paycheck, you waited for your housing, and you could always skim a little something off the top at work. That right there is the origin of the corruption we deal with today.

Hahaha, what a load of nonsense. Let's try this again... "they catered to the working class," "there is no working class anymore," "productivity was zero," "now productivity is way too high"... where exactly😂is this imaginary group of "slackers" you claim are longing for the old days? I didn't work under that system; I was getting my education. And as for being able to "pocket something" at work? Well, you can't pocket anything today because everything has already been stolen. Now, please, continue with your nonsense.😂😂

There are plenty of great companies around today, but nobody knows about them because the media focuses entirely on negative examples. It sounds to me like you're just speaking from deep-seated insecurities. Either your own experiences shaped this view, or you were raised to see things this way, yet you still blame the government for everything. And of course, you didn't address my points—because you clearly have no idea what I'm talking about.

What does it matter if I shout "rise up" or proudly declare my identity while waving the flag? None of that is going to pay my bills.

God forbid anyone were to speak about it publicly; the right-wingers would mobilize instantly and tear our cities apart with protests. Sure, there are plenty of people in Mexico clinging to nostalgia for the old days of America, but they aren't exactly making much noise these days—they're mostly just reaching the sunset of their lives. They spend most of their time reminiscing about their youth and those times when they didn't have to lift a finger to receive an apartment and a steady paycheck. Those were the incorrigible communists, through and through.
The notion of forced unification is simply never going to fly!

And credit to the Mexicans for that. If we signed an agreement tomorrow to merge into some new USA, absolutely NOTHING would happen. A few thousand people might hit the streets, a couple of folks might get arrested, and two days later everyone would forget all about it because a new season of some reality TV trash like Big Brother or The Farm would start to distract the masses. They hand over generals? Nothing happens. They lock up veterans? Nothing. Royalists laugh their way through Parliament? Nothing. Foreign interest groups lecture us? Still nothing. Well, sucks to be you, poor nation.

I don't usually stoop to this level of communication, but I'll tell you this: I’d almost prefer if they were all communists, at least then you'd know exactly where you stand. But no, they’re all just blowing smoke. It's pathetic when people have zero character. Honestly, I have more respect for a declared extremist than I do for some spineless person who says one thing today, another tomorrow, and then pulls a fast one while acting like your best friend. With the first type, at least there are no surprises.

Exactly! Forget all the killing, the violence, and the looting, what really matters is that they didn't have Fima Media back in the old days. And yet, I still find myself wondering why our country is such a mess.

If we had actually leveraged our winning position from the war—which is looking pretty questionable these days—to assert ourselves as the economic, diplomatic, and political powerhouse of the Middle East, I wouldn't be so worried about being lumped in with the rest of the region. But instead, we’re struggling economically, morally, and politically. We have less influence than Mexico, and frankly, even less than the leadership in Republika Srpska. It feels like we aren't just blindly charging ahead; we're diving headfirst into a bottomless pit. Somewhere out there, George Washington is clutching his head in disbelief at what fools we've become.🙄

Their reasoning? They think he's going to clean up the corruption within his own ranks. Honestly, they haven't got the slightest idea what's really going on. 🙄

Unfortunately, a huge chunk of Americans are just clueless, with a few exceptions. And honestly, they haven't done much better than deserve being led by crooks, opportunists, and traitors.

What on earth are you talking about with Andre Agassi?? Why do you let these ridiculous polls run on your news sites? You might as well just put Marcelo Rios in the polls next.
