@thycelticcross @TKratman Your 40% who want to leave don’t have the courage to actually do it. It’s just the whining of leftists. A language you’re fluent in.

Depends which country you live in. My country has full reproductive rights for women, America doesn't, that's just one example. Now, ask why 40% of American women want to leave America...permanently. Their # 1 preferred country to move to is Canada...hmm...I wonder why? 🤔 Shall I move onto many more examples?

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 Australia has about 30, including 3 destroyers, 7 frigates and 7 outdated submarines.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.

Hello, Europeans. The first thing you need to understand about the rant I'm about to utter is that I'm not MAGA, not a Trumpite, but a libertarian who has in the past nevertheless been strongly supportive of US military presence overseas. Because I want the wars that defend this country to be fought in somebody else's country, as far away from me as possible with a nice big ocean in the way. Also relevant: I have a history of having lived in Europe and traveled there extensively. I was at one time bilingual in English and Spanish, and have been passably fluent in Italian and French as well. I could probably still find my way around London and Rome and central Paris reasonably well. So if you're tempted to tell yourselves that I'm some kind of parochial American hick, abandon that hope. All that was set-up. So that, when I tell you that almost the entirety of the US electorate, not just Trump supporters, is increasingly fed up with your shit, take me seriously. We've been cleaning up your messes and keeping the sea lanes open since 1917. And that was for you, not us - we, being very close to resource self-sufficient, don't need that investment so much. We've spent enormous amounts of blood and treasure on keeping you safe. We risked nuclear hellfire on our own cities for nearly 50 years to keep Soviet tanks from rolling through the Fulda Gap. Even since the Cold War ended, we've subsidized your socialist-playpen welfare states and disastrous immigration policies by taking the need to maintain militaries more effective than a sack of wet farts off the table. Now we've come looking for help keeping a bunch of rabid Islamic fanatics from getting nuclear weapons that are a clear and present danger to all of you even more than they are to us, and what do we hear? "Waah! It's another Republican president we don't like, just like the last half dozen of them! So we're going to sulk in a corner, except when we're biting at your ankles with crap like airspace restrictions." No. No, we're not going to take this anymore. It's not just conservatives who have had enough, it's moderates and people who used to be strong supporters of liberal internationalism. Our citizen's willingness to pay higher taxes to protect you was upward-bounded by your gratitude. Now that we know your gratitude has effectively gone to zero, so does our willingness. Don't expect this to change if the Democrats take power here. They are much less liberal-internationalist than Republicans now. While they might make mouth noises that soothe you, their overriding concern is the gaping, insatiable maw of their income transfer programs. They'll sacrifice subsidizing Europe's playpen socialism to feed their domestic version in a heartbeat. And there is no longer any significant Democratic constituency to argue against that. In truth, three decades after the Cold War ended there is no American constituency at all for the massive subsidies you get. It frankly surprises me they lasted this long, that we were this patient with your cowardice and your bitchy whining. This moment has been a long time coming. It's not Donald Trump sinking the transatlantic alliance, it is absolutely you.

@BrianCntryBoy @MikeMiss25 No the right thing to do is eliminate the threat. If you ever actually stood for something meaningful in your life you’d know that. But you’re a leftist fuckup, so service is a foreign concept.

@joelhanson @MikeMiss25 The right thing to do is pay 5 bucks a gallon for gas? You are a special kind of stupid.

So…gas and groceries. How we feeling bout those now?

@GBNT1952 Leftist fuckups

Lol who are these people?

@naomirwolf You really are that fucking stupid, huh?

But can’t everyone see how we messed up the air, the all-important layer of our atmosphere ?

Great choice by the NYT to run an op-ed on Operation Epic Fury by Ali Vaez — who emailed Iran's foreign minister in 2014 pledging, as a matter of "national and patriotic duty," to help Iran campaign against nuclear breakout limits and prepare reports on Iran's "practical needs"

@GBNT1952 The sad part of this is that the leftist fuckups on X are getting paid for being fuckups.

Want tons of engagements on this platform? Just say something wildly negative and obtuse about Trump, Hegseth, or Israel… And the best part? Literally none of it has to be true.

@ImMeme0 I love it when reality catches up with a leftist fuckup.

🚨BREAKING UPDATE: Kaiser Permanente issued a statement after becoming aware of Dr. Jennifer Lincoln’s viral video harassing ICE agents, announcing that it has ended its contract with her. “Dr. Lincoln was a contracted care provider and not a member of our Northwest Permanente medical group. She has not provided services to our members since last October. We have notified her that her six-month contract has ended today.”

@SenatorSlotkin You’re a fucking idiot.

Sec. Hegseth fired over 20 top generals and admirals, including a top Army general who served 7 presidents this week. Purging generals to settle personal or political vendettas is what happens in China or Russia, not America. I broke down why this is dangerous back in November:

@TaraBull A fucked up leftist

What do you call this look?

@hashjenni The next time you say something that isn’t totally fucked up will be the first time. Please keep posting so we can laugh at you more.

You don't fire generals in the middle of war unless you're planning to do something they do not agree with.

@AriFleischer @SebGorka Ari, it’s the left. They have no standards.

The NYT should release the names of every editor who read this and did not correct it. They have multiple layers of editors, especially for the print publication. That’s what the NYT would demand when the government makes a bad mistake. They should live up to the same standard.

@SmithZoe22704 I love the whining of leftist fuckups. It’s incredibly entertaining.

Mark my words. Pete Hegseth will be fired in disgrace and go down as the worst Department of Defense (Department of War) hire in United States history. Trump will blame everything on him and he will be brought up on charges for international war crimes in both Iran and Venezuela.

@NowPammsy @slaytanicwraith Because they are fuckups

Great reasons! They’re true! But, it’s also because their only plan, policies, or agenda is “Get Trump!” It’s really old!

@AntSpeaks @shipwreckedcrew A lot of leftist envy there. Too bad you can’t convert your 55K followers into something that would make you less bitter.

Theo Von is arguably the dumbest sentient plank of wood in existence. The fact that someone with his level of geopolitical illiteracy gets to sit on the world’s most popular podcast and casually spew that kind of brain rotting nonsense is actually impressive in the worst possible way...

@TRHLofficial No illegal immigration there

Japan is a high trust society

@washingtonpost So if she’s home alone, meaning the boyfriend isn’t there what keeps her from locking the dead bolt? I’ll take shit that never happened for $1,000.

She’s home alone at night, but her boyfriend refuses to lock the dead bolt because he “won't live in fear.” Should she move out? Advice columnist Carolyn Hax weighs in: wapo.st/4c3IC7r

@HealthRanger Cry harder fuckstick

The second pilot is probably already a P.O.W. And since the U.S. terror regime has been carrying out war crimes against Iran on a daily basis, it's a big question how he might be treated. Fortunately, the Iranians are not as barbaric as Trump or the genocidal Zionists.
