@Salazar4100 @patrickbec @bronzeagemantis You're not a peaceful country. You're a war machine that needs constant warfare to keep your gdp up.
And its citizens are just as addicted to it all.

@Salazar4100 @patrickbec @bronzeagemantis 3. That deal is just to stall until trump is gone.
Everybody believes the "mean" words. You would invade if you felt like it. You fucking kidnapped a president from a foreign country.
That's why there were troops on the ground to blow up the airport runways.
English
I can understand Americans criticizing Europeans for some reasons, but these days it is sheer hostility over not understanding that Europe also has its own interests, and that I wouldn't have expected.
English
@Salazar4100 @patrickbec @bronzeagemantis You're so indoctrinated there's no point in trying to reason with you. You only tell half the story. And that's being generous.
English
@me_otherwise @patrickbec @bronzeagemantis 1. We helped Ukraine for 3 years when initially all Europe would send were helmets
2. We tariffed countries that already tariffed our goods
3. We made a deal with Denmark after Europe losses its mind over mean words.
English
@patrickbec @fleur_inverse @bronzeagemantis You pulled out of Ukraine after testing your weapons.
Started a trade war with the world.
Threatened to invade a nato country. (won't call it ally anymore)
Disrespected the deaths of soldiers who fought after 9/11. The ONLY time article 5 of nato was used.
English
We want European nations to do what’s in their best interests. We just didn’t expect that would mean kicking the US in the teeth while fighting a war, after all the bleating about needing the US to defend against the Russian hordes and fund/arm Ukraine.
But at least we now know 1. what Europe considers to be in its best interest, 2. that we are not
aligned in our respective interests or values and 3. that the alliance needs to be re-fashioned if not abolished. The Europe that JD Vance and Rubio spoke about that the US has historical and hereditary links to is gone. The new arrangements will reflect that, at least in the areas of security.
The hostility is just an emotional response to the above realizations. It will pass and the US and Europe will have normal relationships of sovereign nations.

@IllinoisProf @astraiaintel A lot has change. You have a vote now. Equal rights, equal fights.
English
@astraiaintel A close friend of mine is at the frontlines in Ukraine right now, fighting the Russian invaders. From what I hear from him, not that much has changed.

Why only men? Why not also women?
This is not the 1600s, women can serve in the armed forces too.

🇩🇪BREAKING | Starting January 1, 2026, all men aged 17 to 45 must obtain permission from a Bundeswehr career center if they plan to leave Germany for more than three months — whether for studying abroad, work, or extended travel — Berliner Zeitung. This requirement is now in effect on a permanent basis and is no longer limited to periods of heightened tension or a state of defense, meaning a specific military threat. See the latest updates with us: @visionergeo

@AwkwardcL @TheTinMenBlog I'm not German. I don't know if anybody has been stopped so far.
I'm not predicting the future. The rule itself indicates the purpose it serves.
English
@me_otherwise @TheTinMenBlog I'm glad you can predict the future. Can you answer my question?
English
"Men have all the rights!"
But also:
Germany announced yesterday that young men are no longer able to freely leave the country without permission, in case their bodies need to be drafted, and used as meat shields in a war.

@MagicGrease @TheTinMenBlog "Sigh"...
The army at its core is made up of people who believe strongly in rules and power by force. Then they are trained and handed weapons. They are not the same as my neighbor.
Oh and if nobody defends a country. There is no country.
English
@me_otherwise @TheTinMenBlog You say "can't" who is going to enforce it? I doubt politicians would. You forget the army is made of civilians. If all or most men refused, they'd have 0 ways of forcing y'all. Plus they wouldn't kill most men for it bc otherwise would then fight their wars? Put 2 and 2 together
English
@MagicGrease @TheTinMenBlog "More than 2,000 nuclear weapons have been detonated globally since 1945, with over 2,056 tests conducted by eight countries up to 2018. Of these, 507 were atmospheric explosions. The vast majority were tests."
That claim is overblown.
English
@me_otherwise @TheTinMenBlog And as for "no population, no future" I doubt they actually care. If they did there would be no nukes. Takes about idk 5 of them? To cause a nuclear winter wiping food and well humans and life from earth. So i doubt the care about "future" lol
English
@MagicGrease @TheTinMenBlog Well let's look at Ukraine right. I'm not sure if you know, but men can't leave the country. Only women and children can.
Some men get "captured" to enlist them into the army. Women are of course allowed to join.
But there's a difference between volunteering and being forced.
English
@me_otherwise @TheTinMenBlog Sure, but then again women today sometimes willingly fight for the US army, the disadvantage can't be that great. And if they truly needed that many people, I am sure they would take women too. They just take men cause y'all actually agree with it despite moaning about it

@MyLordBebo In university doing research on male privilege.

🇩🇪 Where are the feminists?
Ladies, Germany restricts men from traveling abroad … now it’s your time to say men and women are equal!
Come on ladies, we’re waiting …

🇩🇪 GERMAN MEN CANNOT LEAVE WITHOUT THE ARMY’S APPROVAL ANYMORE! Since the 1. January 2026, all men between the ages of 17 and 45 must obtain a permit from the Bundeswehr Army Career Center if they want to leave Germany for more than three months - whether for a semester abroad, a job or a longer trip. This obligation now applies permanently and no longer only in the case of geopolitical tension or defense case, i.e. in the event of a concrete military threat situation. The amendment came into force largely unnoticed within the framework of the Military Service Modernization Act. Previously, the Frankfurter Rundschau reported.
English
@AwkwardcL @TheTinMenBlog That will quickly change when they need people as cannon fodder.
English
@TheTinMenBlog So are young men not getting permission to leave? At all? Because I’m pretty sure since this was enacted, young men have come and gone very freely, just needed the okay…
English
@MagicGrease @TheTinMenBlog Maybe it has more to do with biology? And I'm not talking strength but population. No population, no future.
English
@TheTinMenBlog And why was the rule that men only are forcibly conscripted put in place? Oh wait cause men said women are the weak ones and can't help in the war. Y'all brought this on yourselves.

@JanLatten Vrouwen zijn nu eenmaal even onbetrouwbaar als de mannen waar ze over zagen. Maatschappelijk worden ze echter te vaak weggezet als het slachtoffer. Best allemaal vermijden.
Nederlands
Steeds meer #alleenstaanden.
Zorgwekkend dat een relatie steeds vaker wordt neergezet als iets wat overbodig is in het leven
Nederlands
@CoachCaroline Vrouwen moeten zich dan ook niet als kinderen gedragen en beginnen bleiten over alles.
Nederlands
Vrouwen boven de 35 willen geen man meer in huis die zich gedraagt als een kind.
Als mannen een relatie willen, zullen ze zich dus anders moeten gaan gedragen.
Volwassen worden en hun eigen verantwoordelijkheid dragen.
En leren geven wat een vrouw nodig heeft, in plaats van vooral nemen.
Nederlands
@JMarkK1968 @Microinteracti1 Same thing tbh. usa only got involved after germany became a direct threat.
"However, by 1917, the continued submarine attacks on U.S. merchant and passenger ships, and the “Zimmermann Telegram's” implied threat of a German attack on the United States"
English
@me_otherwise @Microinteracti1 He was there in 1918. WW 1 , because France was invaded.
He was drafted at 19 years of age.

NATO just told America: not through our skies.
A furious US general went on Fox News and confirmed it. Italy. Germany. Spain. France. Every single one of them. Airspace closed. Bases locked. Go find another way.
The empire built 75 years of alliances for exactly this moment. And when the moment came, the allies watched from the window.
Fighting alone. In the Middle East, nobody cares.

@ockhams Is toch goed. Het zijn toch meer vijanden dan wat anders momenteel.

Stel: de VS verlaten NATO en trekken 100.000 troepen terug uit Europa.
Hoe lossen we dat op? Kost ons en de EU economisch 10 tallen miljarden.
@amuse@amuse
NATO: The US doesn’t necessarily need to formally exit NATO but it should shutter its bases and bring all 100,000 troops home from Europe. The EU should enlist the thousands of military age Islamic men to defend the continent.

@JMarkK1968 @Microinteracti1 usa only go involved after pearl harbor. He didn't do it for Europe.
English
@Microinteracti1 FU France. My grandfather was wounded in combat in France and forever disabled for you.

@Microinteracti1 @li85920100 I think US involvement should officially end with Europe. I don’t like the Iran war, but they are making it difficult for the troops.
