Haven’t had a drink in years, btw.

It appears that the time you did spend drinking has rendered you permanently fucking stupid then

Why would you be proud to be American?

It was founded on cruelty, and never improved.

The civilised world has always sneered at the US, and for good reason

I didn’t say that it was staged

Capitalising on a problem is much easier than creating one

But I think you already know that and are being disingenuous

Or, you’re stupid

I’ve been predicting Iran as the real target since the first gulf war

People forget that the only reason Iraq wasn’t wiped out in the war with Iran in the eighties was US backing

American troops were confused to find Iraqi soldiers with US weapons, they forget their history so quickly

Riots that were encouraged by US actors in the region to destabilise and give this excuse

It’s an old play by the yanks, but it has worked more than once

Israel has some real, incontrovertible dirt on Trump that they are holding over him

He’s also desperate to have the US at war so he can suspend elections, because he knows that he will be hurt by the midterms

He’s also pathetically insecure, and history has traditionally looked back fondly at wartime leaders like Churchill and the like. He’s hoping for that

And the worst motivation, but one that I sincerely believe is accurate, is that he wants to use nuclear weapons. He wants to be remembered as a president who pushed the button. He’s a child, and he wants to play with all the toys

I hope he dies before he can do more harm

No, they can’t

Your friend is likely to be a bit of a numpty

Absolute twaddle.

Most of us in the civilised world pity Americans

We understand that there are systemic problems that individuals can’t be held responsible for, unless they have chosen to be a part of the problem

It’s the obnoxious ones who expect the we give a fuck that they’re yanks that have a hard time, regardless of their politics

The ones who travel wearing Trump hats or otherwise forcing their idiotic politics into things reap what they sow

I seldom lock my doors, and even if I lock the front door, the back door is always open for my dog to go in and out as he pleases

I never worry about being hit, and firearm crime here is vanishingly rare

Nowhere is perfect. My nearest pub isn’t the sort of place if ever go because the regulars are morons, but I live somewhere peaceful and serene

For-profit healthcare is beyond disgusting

Slavery never went away in the US. It was rebranded, encompassing all but the ruling classes, with people’s health tied to their employment

All so some people who were already rich could get richer, and the cost to the American public is a fucking disgrace

Long live Luigi!

Can you blame them?

The US is a fucking hellscape

I spend quite a bit of time there. I’m over several times a year and I genuinely don’t know how people can live like that

There’s a constant thin thread of fear, wrapped around everything, running through everything

People are afraid of the people around them. They’re afraid of their government, they’re afraid of the people who are supposed to be there to protect them, they’re afraid of their employers, they’re afraid of the unknown

I’m very careful not to take my charmed life for granted
