We need to get rid of Trump.
Seriously.
Farking traitor Russian asset

Kegsbreath is going to live stream the Fort Hood shooter execution. x( :uhoh: :thumbdown: WTAF. What’s next? Public hangings? Bread and circus akin to the final days of Rome. America is toast Trump has never met a dictator he didnt like....i'm sure his recent meeting with Xi is coincidental....but ...

Hasn’t Trump won the war yet?
Asking for a friend

Only a fool would surrender to the State the power to legally kill him/her one day, if right circumstances / motivations do arise

Generative AI main function is to pour money into the pockets of people who already have more than enough of it.

I guess Trump and the war in Ukraine have made the Brits realise that joining forces with the EU and Canada maybe isn't such a bad idea... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/eu-uk-brexit-poll-rejoin-europe-b3052436.html Uk and Canada are already in Cptpp - it’s basically the same thing ...

What’s the shite about this Trump’s triumphal arch now?
Does he actually want to pass through a triumphal arch on a quadriga?

I swear to god some people here think all Americans are working 80 hour days for minimum wage and are getting refused health care for a tooth ache :lol: In my experience people worked longer hours in NZ than here, at least in my field. Granted I don't hang out with people that work in 7/11, but I d...

People were saying the EU has a larger economy than the USA. It doesn't. I always find it weird when people think the US is some "work until you die" dystopia. 1). UK + EU had a bigger economy than USA (hence the question about the “decline” in my opinion; it simply doesn’t factor UK not being part...

AlanBengio

Texas alone has an economy almost as big as France, it's bigger than Italy's. America is many things but it is rich as fudge. The amount of money floating around is insane to my kiwi born eyes and NZ ain't poor. where is it concentrated and how does that relate to the thread title ? People were say...

AlanBengio

Some Americans are rich as fudge, agreed. The money just tends to float around between a comparatively limited sector of individuals. The median wealth of adults in a majority of EU countries in fact surpasses the equivalent US level. Adult median wealth in NZ compares favourably with most EU natio...

AlanBengio

Ok you are right - we are all in decline over here
It is USA and UK that are really going forward

Anyway: welcome Canada!!
Hope to say that to Australia as well pretty soon

Blue skies ahead for EU!

Today my feed is full of stupid US people celebrating the fact that Trump has taken Greenland

There is nothing more illiterate people in the world than the US one

AlanBengio

You seriously think Eu economy is larger than the US ? :lol: California is almost as big economically as Germany , 4.5T versus 4T Apple is 4.7T … Have some IMF data - US has clear problems especially with its poverty and income inequality , but in terms of sheer economic size you are just wrong the...

What are you on about ? The Money week article I’m quoting had 15% and you say 14% for the EU, that’s pretty aligned . I didn’t mention US or China number either , a quick google shows US at about a quarter of the global economy . EU is definitely declining since 2000, losing its second largest com...

AlanBengio

Yup, agree with this. In 2000 the Eu was 25% of global gdp and the CTPP was about 7%. As of 2025 the EU has now fallen to 15% and CTPP doubled to 14%. Figures skewed somewhat unwise how dominant the US has been in last 10 years of global economic growth (75% !) but the EU’s decline relatively is a ...

This is massive. I don’t think people understand this. A sliding door like the Fashoda incident - where nobody noticed at that time how important it had actually been, and how it had set and shifted the world into a completely different rail path from then on I'm not convinced. The EU is a steadily...

As an Irish citizen I think this is awesome. Apart from Ireland I would recommend living/working in Spain or Portugal. If Canada do eventually join the EU that would be even better. Trump's repeated talk of making Canada a 51st US state triggered Canada to start walking the path that could ultimate...

According to estimates by Reuters, Ukraine has effectively disabled three out of the six largest Russian oil refineries – producers of diesel fuel. The six refineries – Omsk, Kirishinefteorgsintez, Nizhny Novgorod, TANECO in Nizhnekamsk, Volgograd, NORSI in Kstovo, and Perm – collectively produce a...

Trump proposed a 5000 usd bribe for every US citizen who would vote Republicans at next mid term

And no one in USA blinks an eye

If nothing happens- this is the certification that USA is a failed state, and that USA citizens are just a bunch of illiterate people as a whole, my friends

The world is going crazy day by day - and the ones advocating for denazification of Ukraine, are the ones cheering for the current re-nazification of Germany

Russians in general are terrible people. The tolerable ones are the rare exceptions. While I have some sympathy for the people in Russia who have been subject to decades of total media control by the state and the constant feed of triumphant nationalism with a side order of victim complex it is the...

Don’t know if anyone noticed - but the USA debt to GDP ratio is going to surpass Italy’s shortly. And Greece in a couple of years.

Incredible the damage this deranged orange front bum has done to UsA in just one and an half year

Oman is US ally.
