International American Imperialism

Where else would he see my posts?

On a peaceful allied territory of a member of the EU and NATO?

Why does it matter if they're allies? America is constantly invading countries that have never done anything to them. What did Vietnam do to America? Afghanistan? Iraq?

None of these countries did anything to America.

 

[USA!USA!]

He's not joking, he's just playing hardball. He wants some concessions from some of his allies who he feels take advantage of being American allies.

He knows you don't get concessions by asking nicely.

Oh fuck off. You can play hardball and threaten with hostile countries. Not with your own fucking allies. That is complete horseshit.

Uhm the "Greenlanders" know?
and their PM said (once again they said the same in 2019)
"Greenland has once again said it is not for sale after US President-elect Donald Trump said he wanted to take control of the territory.
"Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland," its prime minister said on Monday, a day after Trump repeated comments about the Arctic island that he first made several years ago."

Yeah why would those 57k people want to be a part of the wealthiest country in the world?
Lol. Pride is a funny thing.

The consequences of doing anything with Europe like that would be disaster. Empty talk imo...

Nah. You're wrong. You don't know shit about politics.

What the fuck is Europe going to do? Shut off the olive oil supply?

Nome of these countries did anything to America.

"Why does it matter if they're allies?"

Dumb fucking question. You don't keep allies by threatening them.

Nah. You're wrong. You don't know shit about politics.

Yeah man why don't we threaten every EU country and territory with an invasion to get what we want from them. Really fucking smart.

 

[Possum Jenkins]

When you get elected partly on empty posturing, bravado, and symbolism, you gotta give people what they want.

Just a bunch of bullshit for his low-IQ supporters to chimp out over.

Fair. If there is no deal then there is no deal. But to say it could never happen? The money doesnt make it impossible is my point. If they were willing at some point then it could be bought. Most countries would be a drag econically and cost too much. Greenland is one of those that isnt crazy like Mexico or Canada. That is absurd.

 

[USA!USA!]

Why even say it then? It's an insane thing to do.

So you are not even a real American
LOOOOL

It's just too much global conflict. Come on bruh...

Yeah why don't you just go blow up some country in the middle east like you did back when the adults were in charge. That was back when America was sensible.

Maybe you can have another draft and send another generation of 18 years off to die over nothing in some South East Asian country.

Man, those were the good old days. Not when we had this clown in charge who wants to... have more equitable trade and mutual defense agreements with his allies.

We are going around in circles. I am commenting on how Israel did benefit under Obama's administration. Presidents can choose to increase or deny aid. Obama continued to pledge money to Israel. You are making this point how it would have been signed with or without him. It just shows how strong the Israeli lobby is in America.

I didn't say any of this extra Jews run the world stuff. Just the fact that Israel received money under Obama's administration.

Cause this lobby is exactly your problem. The US pursues its own interests and benefits from this no less, and perhaps even more, than Israel. Weapon and technology contracts, competition elimination, ME operations support.
Here is a list of foreign aid by country (first few rows):

Jordan $1,686,862,605
Egypt $1,503,609,426
Ethiopia $1,457,374,911
Somalia $1,181,033,990
Nigeria $1,019,947,490
Congo (Kinshasa) $990,456,757
Afghanistan $886,536,741

Fooking Afghanistan gets almost a billion a year. Are you saying that there is a strong Taliban lobby in America?

I was told Trump was for peace and would end all wars.

There won't be any wars if you conquer all your enemies.

 

[deviake]

Yeah, I'm not buying the US = Israel thing.

They are allies, not the same country. Some Presidents didn’t even support Israel. Obama directly funded Iran, the enemy of Israel and didn't provide much support.

Obama funded Israel. He also got the Iran Deal done which was working and helping to stabilize relations and prevent them from making nukes, the opposite of war. Trump tore it up. If you're referring to the money returned to Iran, it was their money.

Obama Didn't Give Iran '150 Billion in Cash' - FactCheck.org

A viral meme distorts the facts about the Iran nuclear agreement. The deal, approved by six countries and the European Union, gave Iran access to its own frozen assets.

www.factcheck.org

First of all, former President Barack Obama didn’t give “150 billion in cash” to Iran.

The nuclear agreement included China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union, so Obama didn’t carry out any part of it on his own. The deal did lift some sanctions, which lifted a freeze on Iran’s assets that were held largely in foreign, not U.S., banks. And, to be clear, the money that was unfrozen belonged to Iran. It had only been made inaccessible by sanctions aimed at crippling the country’s nuclear program.

Secondly, $150 billion is a high-end estimate of the total that was freed up after some sanctions were lifted. U.S. Treasury Department estimates put the number at about $50 billion in “usable liquid assets,” according to 2015 testimony from Adam Szubin, acting under secretary of treasury for terrorism and financial intelligence.

The part that the meme gets right, though, is that the deal didn’t get congressional approval. The Obama administration had maintained that the agreement wasn’t a treaty, which would have required approval by the Senate. Republicans did try to block the deal, but they weren’t able to get enough support to pass the legislation in the Senate.

However, the U.S. is now no longer part of the deal. Trump pulled out in May 2018.


Trump is anti-war my ass cheeks.
