Does this map/picture just prove which countries obey America's every word? American puppet states?

[SouthoftheAndes]

Green: Vote in favor of Territorial Integrity of Ukraine (rejecting the Crimean Referendum and Russian annexation).


Red: Against the territorial integrity of Ukraine (accepting the Crimean Referendum and Russian annexation). Aka saying "F#ck the U.S. and what the U.S. thinks of us or threatens".


Yellow: Abstentions (Doesn't care/didn't vote but for whatever reason doesn't want to look bad to the EU and USA). Likely resents American world policing.


Blue: Absent (Did not show up) as in did not care or doesn't care but did not want to vote in support of the Crimean Referendum out of fear of upsetting the United States **** Israel did this**** for example but is afraid of America coming down hard on her.

Well the Philippines are green and just told us to fuck ourselves. So i would say no.

They just got a new government and the map is from a 2014 vote.

I'd say the map by and large holds true at least if we consider Europe, Japan, South Korea, NZ, and Australia.

The Green African states are all corrupt or are failed states that we prop up (Libya) but Libya would not have voted with us if Gaddafi was in power that much is for sure. I suspect many of them voted with us because they wanted American favors/American money. The Middle Eastern states that voted with us like Saudi Arabia I think did so because we have a close relationship. Other states like Peru I think voted with us because they may be dependent on American good favors. Cuba, Venezuela, and Bolivia despite all their troubles don't seem to want to give America a 'win' or want any American cheese.


I would consider Canada, the UK,Australia and a few other western Euro states and Japan to be pretty obedient to whatever America says. Some other Eastern Euro states I think just voted with us because they dislike Russia.

I think it would be more accurate to point out that every frst world coubtry is green

This one is more updated.

Green: Means supports the Crimean Referendum (Russian annexation).

 

[ncordless]

Has there ever been a sorrier coalition than those red states? Nearly all of them are whackadoodle dictatorships with terrible living conditions and huge societal problems.

Is it? Or could it be that perhaps they are influenced via bias?

You don't find it odd that the U.S. picks and chooses which Referendums and which revolutions it wants to support and which wants are therefore "Good and by the people" and which ones are "bad and not for the people"????


You don't find it odd that despite Crimea voting overwhelmingly to join Russia and for independence and that the bulk of the population speaks Russian, that the U.S. rejects that referendum as 'illegitimate' and yet has supported plenty of illegitimate referendums or dictators across the world?

^^ A lot of truth is said here. This isn't even mentioning the Russian ties to Crimea. And this isn't even mentioning how the United States would act if Russian puppet states and allied states were popping up all around our borders and if Russian missile sites and military bases were encircling our border.

One of the only good things that the idiot Trump has gotten right is his stance over Ukraine.

 

[Irenaeus]

I'd be more inclined to say it's those who believe in the Rule of Law vs those who for various reasons don't. There is more that brings the west together than American hegemony.

Most of those nations are overwhelmingly negative to the Russian annexation, and would be even if the U.S. somehow wasn't.

Remember that those places are where souths dumb ass thinks are the best places to live on earth.

Let me guess you think America is the best and happiest place ever? Even though most Americans are struggling, have no real culture, and hate one another and are incredibly divided in a capitalistic jungle which is designed to eat people?

Does this picture you excited?

How about this one?

Well if so you're in luck because he's running for president! You can write him in come November!

A lot of these countries dont want to set a precedent like SEA with China

I've actually been to the places you fantasize about and know how good we have it here.

America isn't the best or worst place to live. It is much better than many. "Struggling" in the America is relative to struggling North Korea.

On your map, generally, the greens are the best places to live. Followed by the yellows. The reds are generally by far the worst.

SOA really needs to move to North Korea where there is no internet.

wow, the college hipster sounds so salty and bitter here. Also, you weren't eaten yet?

majority of Crimea is pro-Russian and always been but Russia annexed them in a cowardly way. Sending troops with no insignia and saying they're not russian troops, and after the annexation Putin admitted that they were. It was a yank and grab, and most countries realize that. But I guess the ones that don't are the happiest places like Sudan?

most Americans struggling? Is there any statistics on this or you just pulled another slogan out of your brainwashed ass?

No real culture? American writers, music, movies, food, sports, etc is all culture. What is "real" culture anyway?

oh and socialism sucks, a complete failure in every country where its been instituted (Scandinavian countries are not socialist)

 

[sub_thug]

There are some extremely loaded statements in the OP. This whole thing is reading like a Poli Sci 101 class, based on personal biases instead of facts.

Of course most countries are opposed to unchecked Russian aggression in the region. By annexing Crimea, Putin is gaining access to a deep water port to project naval power and open up Russian-dominated trade line. For most countries, that's bad. Therefore, they aren't recognizing the annexation of Crimea. They want the Russians to give it back to Ukraine. It's also why the 2013 referendum vote to leave Ukraine and join Russia wasn't recognized by the international community, even though it passed in eastern Ukraine at something like 99% of the voting population. Hell, the people in eastern Ukraine speak Russian as a primary language, not the Ukrainian that's spoken in Kiev.

Politics is so much more interesting when you stop thinking about it like a little kid. Right and wrong rarely exist in black and white terms, and this game becomes much more fascinating when you start thinking about what's good for someone, how they can be incentived or deterred, and how those influences ultimately shapes the world's balance of power. This base-level thinking about red/blue politics just goes to show how much the educational system is failing most voting Americans. Want to be useful to your country? Starting learning and thinking.

Out on a limb here, but I don't think a jpg is capable of proving the existence of puppet states.
