Christopher

To all of you morons out there, screaming and yelling about how Republicans are the cause of healthcare going up watch this video and then kindly go Pound sand

@novemberfive7 @VeryBrexitProbs Whatever you say champ

@Moviebuff1224 @VeryBrexitProbs Chris, do me a favour (spelled correctly) and fuck off. I love America. Growing up as kids in the 80's in Britiain, when we played out, we spoke in an America accent. Becuase all we consumed was American TV. That 80's America is dead. youve all turned into a bunch of shithouses

MAGA calls Europe freeloaders. Here’s what they’re not telling you. ​1. Ramstein Air Base, the most important US military hub outside America, is built on German land provided rent-free, with Germany contributing hundreds of millions to its upkeep. The US couldn’t replace it anywhere in the world. 2. Every US military operation in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia flows through Ramstein. Lose it and US power projection in the Eastern Hemisphere is crippled. 3. The UK provides and maintains RAF Lakenheath used almost entirely by the US Air Force. Italy provides Aviano. Greece provides Souda Bay. Turkey provides Incirlik. European land. European infrastructure. American operations. 4. The US Sixth Fleet depends entirely on European ports for fuel and supplies. Souda Bay, Naples, 11 Greek ports. Without them the Sixth Fleet cannot operate in the Mediterranean or project power into the Middle East. 5. The majority of NATO’s intelligence and surveillance capacity is hosted on European soil and fed directly to the CIA, NSA and Pentagon. 6. Early warning radar at Fylingdales, UK. Missile tracking in Greenland. Norwegian monitoring stations near Russia. All dependent on European goodwill. 7. It would cost America MORE to bring the troops home than keep them here. European hosts subsidise roughly a third of all basing costs. 8. Europe is America’s largest arms customer. Stop buying American and part of their defence industry goes bankrupt. 9. The bases aren’t charity. They’re America using European soil, European money and European goodwill to project power across the world. 10. We’re not the freeloaders.

@atc1249 @novemberfive7 @VeryBrexitProbs Well, I will have to point out that I was responding to the fella that was so condescending in his reply to the OP The OP makes solid points, I take no issue with them so my "feelings" are about the person that first respondeds nasty little blanket description of Americans.

@Moviebuff1224 @novemberfive7 @VeryBrexitProbs So your feeling outweigh the facts and real benefits the US currently gains from its position? Imagine having foreign bases on US soil and for that nation to start throwing its weight about, making derogatory statements about your country and its armed forces. Think about it hard

@mavdmichael @novemberfive7 @VeryBrexitProbs Well little fella, I was responding to the Gentleman that was so incredibly condescending not the OP, who made solid points.

@Moviebuff1224 @novemberfive7 @VeryBrexitProbs We’re condescending because as the OP clearly points out your ”fuck ’em” would mainly be you fucking, well, you… Leave Europe and you loose big. Trade routes you can’t secure. Enemies you can’t control. You defense industry is dependent on Europe. Your ENTIRE industry is…

@novemberfive7 @VeryBrexitProbs Now you see, it’s post like yours which reeks of condescension that makes Americans look at Europe and say fuck’em You forget certain facts about Americans and The United States that can and may bite you in the ass at some point But I guess that’s just how I feel

@VeryBrexitProbs Let me tell you where you are going very wrong with this post. You are providing Facts and the problem is that Americans dont unsterstand facts, they only undertstand feelings, so they "feel" you are very wrong. Remember when dealing with Americans to use feeling only.

@Tristanshouts @Trisha_Tahmasbi The FBI investigated Christine Blassy Fords claim and found zero credibility to it It led every single newscast for weeks and they still act as if it was true

@Moviebuff1224 @Trisha_Tahmasbi Not how it works. Recall Tara Reade?She & her story were vetted by credible reporters who proved her accusation false & therefore refused to publish it,then Ryan Grim ran w/ her proven false story. Here we have no accuser,no specific claim—& Grim’s Drop Site News is pushing it.

Time for journalists to start asking Eric Swalwell about his habit of pursuing subordinate staff and interns for sex.

@Tristanshouts @Trisha_Tahmasbi Oh Please, if he was a Republican this would be the leading story on every news outlet in America and you damn well know it

@Trisha_Tahmasbi No credible journalist is going to ask anyone about something one woman claims another woman told her with zero evidence. This is a smear campaign. Of course Ryan Grim’s Drop Site “News” will likely cover it cuz false accusations are his thing (see: Putinista Tara Reade).

@Aris_Utensil Meanwhile, Europe is becoming a Islamic republic so have fun with that

Let me state this bluntly so you can understand... America has occupied Europe for almost 70 years. You heavily influence policy. Many people do not like the Americanization of their counties, you stick your nose in places all over the world, violating sovereignty, and your justification is, "we can, do something about it" Guess what, you struck Iran, and Iran isnt having it, and Iran IS winning, to the point where your president is reduced to impotently screaming about committing war crimes on social media, as you target and boast about destroying civilian infrastructure. You begged your vassals, who you call "your allies", to help you with your war of aggression, and then insulted them when they refused to aid in your disastrous fuck up. Only to the extremely warped, mind fucked and heavily propagandized mind, are these actions "good", to anyone else NOT gagging on Uncle Sam's nutsack, you're straight up evil. I have no ill will towards the American people, unless of course you're cheering on this shit in which case fuck you, im glad the bully is bleeding, cry more.

@ListerBianco @whmeyer0 @johnkonrad Even though many of you believe we are all ignorant you fail to understand that we pay attention We know how the EU works and it is heading down a dark path, censorship, State control, uneven distribution of justice etc. So please examine your society before casting stones

@ListerBianco @whmeyer0 @johnkonrad I was seared at, whispered about by those who believed the stereotype that Americans never bothered to learn a 2nd language (I know 3) And looked down upon consistently I stopped visiting in 1998 because of this You cannot deny that many Europeans look down on The States Cont.

NATO is in far bigger danger than anyone realizes. And the reason has nothing to do with defense budgets. The real danger is psychological. It’s cultural. Europeans didn’t just free-ride on American security for 80 years. They built an entire identity around the idea that they evolved past the Americans protecting them. That identity is now the single biggest obstacle to Western survival. And the darkest irony is: we helped build it. After World War II, Europe wasn’t just economically shattered. Its culture was in ruins. The cities, the universities, the concert halls, the museums. Rubble. The Marshall Plan rebuilt the economy. But culture wasn’t a priority. Not at first. Then the Iron Curtain dropped. And suddenly culture became a weapon. American diplomats, academics, artists & scholars flooded Western Europe. We funded their universities. Supported their orchestras. Rebuilt their museums. Promoted their intellectual life. Not because European culture needed saving for its own sake. Because Eastern Europeans were struggling for Maslow’s mist basic needs. We needed the view from the other side of that Wall to be intoxicating. So America built Western Europe into a showcase of self-actualization. Art. Philosophy. Cafe culture. Long vacations. Universities where people studied literature instead of surviving. We were manufacturing jealousy. And it worked. The Wall came down. But here’s what no one accounted for. When you give a society self-actualization on someone else’s tab long enough, they forget it was a gift. They start believing it was organically theirs. And when they look at the country that funded it all, a country busy building aircraft carriers and semiconductor fabs and shale fields instead of reaching the Maslow’s pinnacle. An overweight American in a ball cap who can’t tell Monet from Pissarro. Who eats fast food. Who drives a truck. Who builds strip malls instead of piazzas. And to a culture trained in aesthetics but stripped of strategic awareness, that American looks uncivilized. So the arrogance takes root. And once a culture decides another is beneath them, they stop listening. Americans say wars are sometimes necessary: crude. Oil is the backbone of prosperity: unsophisticated. Kids build companies in garages that reshape the planet: crass. Wall Street finances the global economy: vulgar. Europe has no world-class technology sector. No military capable of strong defense. No energy independence. No AI capacity. What Europe has is culture. The culture we paid for at the expense of us reaching Maslow’s pinnacle. For decades that was fine. We funded the museums, protected the sea lanes, and tolerated the sneering because the arrangement worked. Then Europeans stopped keeping the contempt private. They started saying it to our faces. In their media. In their parliaments. At every international forum. “Americans are stupid. Americans are violent. Americans are a threat to democracy.” We could have moved the Louvre to NY. We could have built a Venice here. We could have stolen your best artists, designers, philosophers and more… like your conquering armies did for centuries. Instead we funded them. And all we asked for in return was to let us visit. You don’t have the military to defend your borders. You don’t have the technology to compete. You don’t have the energy to heat your homes without begging dictators. What you have is an 80-year superiority complex FUNDED BY AMERICANS, protected by American soldiers, and built on the false belief that self-actualization is civilization. It isn’t. Civilization is the ability to sustain itself. By that measure, Europe isn’t a civilization at all. It’s a dependency with better wine. That’s not a threat. It’s a weather report. Build a Navy. Or don’t. But stop lecturing the people who made you “better than us” Our “crudeness” our “stunted liberal education” our “ugly strip malls” are because we sacrificed our culture to support yours.

@Arrogance_0024 You simply do not understand why we do these things An American serviceman will be more confident, more motivated because they know they will never be left behind It’s who we are and you will never understand that

The "leave no man behind" doctrine is actually a strategic weakness disguised as a virtue. Name one other military on earth that destroys 6 aircraft and fights a ground battle inside a sovereign nation to recover one pilot. You can't. Because no other military confuses tactical sentimentality with strategic logic. Soldiers serve the mission. The mission doesn't serve the soldier. The US has now established that Iran can shoot down an F-15, then watch America spend $300M and expose Delta Force trying to prove it didn't happen. That's not military doctrine. That's politics with weapons. A military that cannot accept the risk of loss cannot win wars. The US hasn't won one since 1945.

@Ethereals68 The one thing people are failing to realize is that Europe is now essentially an Islamic Republic The politicians in Europe are refusing to allow America the base’s to destroy Iran is because they fear the Muslims who refuse to assimilate in Europe and will eventually take over

The people who chose Yes are the stupidest people in the world

@NimaYamini No Her green card was for her claim fir asylum based on a reasonable fear of being in her home Country After she made the claim she returned back to Iran on 4 separate occasions thus showing her claim was false

Did Marco Rubio and ICE violate her free speech? Qatar is asking. 🤨

@Ethereals68 I realize that it is possible to be aware during a nightmare

You wake up on November 8, 2028 and see this, what is your reaction?

@inaflowstate_ @TKratman “We don’t need a population conditioned around warfare or a trillion dollar military to feel secure.” Of course not, Because you have The United States to protect you, that’s why you feel secure Say Thank you

@TKratman Australia isn’t trying to dominate regions or police the world. We don’t need a population conditioned around warfare or a trillion dollar military to feel secure. Different posture, different priorities.

From Martin Iles, reposted: Having lived in the USA for nearly two years, I've realised something. The USA and the remainder of the Western world are no longer aligned. We all laugh and mock when the Americans say, "Freedom!" because we truly think we're as free as they are. Wrong. We're not. Not even close. The laws, the mindset, and the behaviour, is totally different in this regard. Most of all, the governments are totally different. The USA's convictions around core freedoms are on a scale we do not share. Meanwhile, Donald Trump wins the popular vote, the electoral college, the House, and the Senate... a man who, in every other Western country, is held in open derision, if not contempt. For these and other reasons, we are not the same. Yet the West, including Australia, fully expect to rely on the USA for our very survival. If the world turns bad (which will happen - only a question of time), then the whole West, without America, is toast. So, you may ask - if we're not very aligned ideologically, then it must be that we bring something to the party militarily? Well, no... actually... we don't matter that much militarily. The USA has about 470 ships in its navy, including 11 aircraft carriers, 69 submarines, 75 destroyers... plus 110 new ships in the pipeline. Australia has about 30, including 3 destroyers, 7 frigates and 7 outdated submarines. The UK does a little better, with about 60. Meanwhile, the US has over 14,000 military aircraft. A staggering number. Australia has 252 military aircraft. The UK has 556. The US army has just shy of 1,000,000 uniformed personnel in its military. Australia has about 45,000. The USA spends 3.4% ($968 billion) of its GDP on defence. Australia spends 2% ($36.4 billion). The US spends as much as the next 15 largest military-spending countries (including China) combined. The USA has a fighting culture. The men shoot things (a lot) and hunt things, the veterans get favoured in everything from parking spots to boarding planes. A uniformed young man is thanked in the street a dozen times a day. "Oh, the Americans and their guns!" we say, in our smug way. Yes, they have a warrior culture. We do not. We don't have to, because we're a leech on theirs. How many young British men are willing to fight for their country? Now ask the same regarding young American men. The difference is about as wide as it could be. Militarily, we don't offer squat. Meanwhile, look at the way Australia works against America's interests by loving on China. China made us rich and we stay close. This is a Marxist regime with expansionist aims. Again, you have to spend time in the USA to realise just how vast a gulf there is between us on China. Europe, too. They let China have their way everywhere from Germany to Greenland, all the while importing Islam and sending their own people to court for saying hurty words. Somehow, we have landed the deal of a lifetime with the USA that says, "when the baddies come, you'll save us ok?" Because we can't save ourselves. And we live in peace. But we keep gnawing away at freedoms, keep enabling China, and get flabby and disinterested about our military because Uncle Sam's got it. And, let's be honest, Americans are widely looked down on. To add insult to injury, we don't think that highly of our protectors. So, the USA is finally saying "enough." I am here, I can tell you what the vibe is, and that's it. Trump is doing what people want in this regard. They're over it. And we come across all shocked and hard done by. We behave like people with no self-insight at all. Yes, the global alliance system is all over the place now. From America's perspective, it's about time. And I must say, though I be a proud Australian, I am forced to agree. Something has to change.

@porterstansb Bullshit It’s the people not the guns

Race has nothing to do with this. The problem is guns, not people.

@RasmusJarlov The United States accounts for 62% of NATOs defense budget In order for Europe to absorb that cost they will need to reassess their Social structure such as Healthcare and Education Europes combined GDP cannot fund both This is the simple fact

As a European, I am not afraid that the USA will leave NATO. We already know that they do not have good intentions to Europe and that we, therefore, have to build our defence to be able to fight without the Americans. We are well on our way and it will happen a lot faster if the USA leaves NATO officially. Russia is too weak and small to be a long term threat to Europe. They simple can not match what we can produce. As long as we keep Ukraine from falling, Russia is also not a threat to us in the short term. So if the USA leaves NATO, it is simple for us: Keep Ukraine from falling at all costs and build up European defence and weapon production as fast as humanly possible. We can and we will do that and Europe will be absolutely fine and safe.

@Midazon @bratricek @lighthousbeacon As of 2026, The United States remains the largest contributor, accounting for roughly 62% of the NATO alliance’s total $1.59 trillion estimated defense budget Not misleading not confusing These are the hard numbers We pay to defend Europe if you cannot see that well so be it

@Moviebuff1224 @bratricek @lighthousbeacon You're confusing (or misleading) your defense budget with that of NATO. You're free to use all your resources on military, but it has nothing to do with the NATO budget. It will be fine even without the US. Your bases in Asia has nothing to do with out welfare state.

Let me get this straight: You are locked in a war on the other side of the globe, completely dependent on European infrastructure literaly begging for us to join and you feel like flexing against a continent of several former empires with unmatched history of warfare is good, because former commie empire is digged in 2nd world country for 4 years unable to even stop the destruction of its own oil infrastructure. Buddy, you are not gonna believe that, but Germany stopping being gay, green and woke is not bad for us, but for you. Your entire world dominance stands on a deal that Europe will not militarise and will follow your lead.

@Midazon @bratricek @lighthousbeacon You may want to check your numbers bud Total Defense Spending: The U.S. accounts for about 62% of the total defense spending of all NATO allies combined as of 2025.

@Moviebuff1224 @bratricek @lighthousbeacon Lol we already spend enough on defense, the US is only 16% of the NATO budget and the UK and France got nukes. You need us way more than we need you. Have fun cheering on the pedo-in-chief while he’s killing all your soft power and economy

@anyonewantchips If only they had not been full of shit

Anita Hill warned us about Clarence Thomas. Hillary Clinton warned us about Samuel Alito. Christine Blasey Ford warned us about Brett Kavanaugh. E Jean Carroll warned us about Trump. If only their warnings were taken seriously.
