“President of peace” everybody. Just making sure the ENTIRE world hates the US.
Just making sure the ENTIRE world hates the US.
Bush Jr took you to the brink of that (after marching towards that cliff hard with other previous admins)… the US only needed a nudge to get there and electing a child rapist was like taking the off ramp into the void
There’s a big difference from “we’re going to rename French fries” to “we’re going to invade Greenland”.
Bush did a ton of evil shit… let’s not pretend he was just a silly goose
What in the enhanced interrogations could you be talking about? The man just wants to paint puppies, why are you being so mean to him?
What evil shit did he do for the world (specifically US allies) to hate the US?
Before you answer, let me remind you that most people don’t care about anything that happens to anyone more than 100 km from them.
Bombing Iraq and Afghanistan? Those are far away and there’s always a war in the middle east.
Torturing people? Par for the course in America.
So you want me to list evil stuff but exclude wars that killed hundreds of thousand civilians because you don’t care about those people and torturing humans because the USA does that too often to count?
I think when you say “most people don’t care” you are still just referring to the USA population
The question was about “the world abandoning the US”. What I think is irrelevant, look at the opinion polls in 2005 and 2025.
What evil shit did he do for the world (specifically US allies)
So, you think that the world begins and ends with the invaders of Iraq and Afghanistan?
I’d love to be proven wrong, but bombing weddings and torturing people doesn’t make people abandon the US. Tariffs on the other hand…
So invading Afghanistan and Iraq was justifiable enough for you?
The comment thread you are replying to was about actions that made America hate its enemies. Not anyone’s personal opinion on the justifiability of these actions. I think you are confusing their suggestion that the verbal attacks against France/Greenland made the entire world hate the US more than the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan for a comment on whether these invasions were justified, perhaps in a knee-jerk, strawman-like fashion.
The comment above that I replied to had the effect, regardless of intentions, of dismissing and whitewashing the actions of past US administrations, in a way that reduces the illegal invasions of the current administration into an exceptional, idiosyncratic, and one-off behavior. The reality is the US has been hated worldwide for far too long, at least since the end of WW2. I hope I was informative and pertinent enough according to your standards.
The comment above that I replied to had the effect, regardless of intentions, of dismissing and whitewashing the actions
No, it didn’t, that’s the “knee-jerk” thing I was talking about earlier. See also: Israelis and “anti-semitism”.
Doesn’t matter “to me”, I was about public opinion, and it barely moved the needle, because at the end of the day, it didn’t affect the average Joe.
Didn’t even need to, I walked there fine.
It’s the same high-control, unhealthy policies though, that includes all the hate on LGBTQ+ people too. That was big in his terms, anti-gay ballot initiatives based on lies that hurt people, that turned out the prejudiced base to elect him and others that caused damage here and abroad. It’s always regress and ruin progress, and, yes, the latest maga version of the party is even worse.

Well, on lemmy downvotes mean even less than on reddit, so honestly who cares. Everyone needs a hobby…
The world did already, but just not enough to cut (economic) ties.
Obama did the exact same thing.
Obama has been maligned for it too. Trump deserves the same ridicule.
There’s never been a POTUS who didn’t.
These types of comments never elaborate or talk about other relevant things like how Obama didn’t take us into a full blown war with Iran
Why don’t you use the same internet you’re using to look it up? You’ll remember longer.
Hates its leaders. I have no hate for my American brothers and sisters
They voted for him knowing what he is.
Killing innocent civillians is a national past-time in the US.
The Indigenous nod in agreement
i really, really wanted to argue with your point, but i just heard a car backfire outside my house and i knew it was a very loud car backfire and not a gunshot because there bang didn’t boom just so. also because at my old place, my neighbor is a mechanic and still has the 60’s mustang he drove in high school (i think. maybe 70’s. SHE’S BLUE OKAY) in show condition and he’d never stand for a backfire like that, president of the car club would take away his keys.
anyways this town has gotten a hell of a lot safer (it’s not an out and out gang war like it was in the 90s) so i’m about as worried about gun violence as i am nuclear war (thanks mr turnip!) but, like also my wife teaches elementary so i follow those godsdamned statistics.
Bro put the bong down you’re not supposed to drink the water
That’s exactly what i’d expect a sippy cup full of delicious bong water to say
It’s resin soup and that’s not the point
This is about foreign policy, not domestic gun violence, lol.
My point was that we do it at home we do it abroad. Under dear gods how much drugs was I on. How much drugs am I on right now?

The wedding was 2 weeks away from development of a nuclear weapon! 🫲🍊🫱
Reports were firm they had yellow cakes.

Voting Trump in once was a horrendous mistake. Voting Trump in twice is unforgivable.
This was happening under Obama, Bush, and all those other “non Trumps”

They didnt suck this bad at it tho.
Yeah the war crimes have been constant, but generally narrow in focus. disrupting the flow of oil and fertilizer to the world is next level.
Reducing US imperialism to trump is such a lib move.
I really can’t take anybody who says “lib” unironically seriously.
The stupidity of libs can never be understated, your stupid comment just made it more obvious. You lot rather side with your imperialist troops than face this reality that your nation was built by terrorizing the world.
What the fuck are you talking about? Genuinely. And which nation do you assume I represent, exactly?
The chances are that you represent the invaders of Iraq and Afghanistan, i.e. NATO.
US and bombing weddings in the middle east, name a more classic combo.
Israel and sniping children?
Billionaires and raping kids?
Conservatives and molesting underage girls?
idk, I could keep naming duos…
Another in a long proud line of weddings being bombed by America.
They got the gift of freedom.
Israel does that too, curious 😑
That’s part of the strategy.
Often, the innocent civilians, particularly the children targeted, are children or immediate family of high ranking military personnel.
They want the people making important decisions to be in a compromised state of mind.
Not only is it not an accident, it’s the fucking strategy.
So disgusting, I can’t even call them people anymore
Making more terrorists. A time-honored American tradition
Ah, the good old Epstein class. Fightin’ wars to cover up their “tween” business. American soldiers should not be forced to defend a pedophile cabal who are somehow the most powerful people on earth. We need to shake the globe like an etch-a-sketch as the Epstein class will kill anybody or do anything to protect themselves.
are thy actualy ‘forced’ to defend them or did they conciously choose to join in this needless war?!
If all of them conscientiously objected this war would be over in like a day or two.
Iran has the right to defend itself against class traitors and terrorists
Let’s be 100% honest, it’s about oil and US will continue wars for oil just like any empire in history, we’re going after other countries resources. Hate it, love it, it’s just what empires do
As is tradition
The US loves to blow up weddings murdering civilians and of course most importantly killing children.
Sounds like Israel tactics as they continue the Palestinian genocide.
I’m all for shitting on Israel, and I’m sure they’ve bombed weddings before, but if anything this is a US classic.
who do you think pulls the pedo-blackmail strings of the diaper filler in chief
No this is more like Russian tactics as they continue the Ukrainian genocide.
OK. They model themselves on Nazi Germany, who modeled themselves on slaver USians.
This is murder man
Been going on by USA for >20 years.
stares blankly
You’re kidding right!? More like 250 years.
sigh
:(
The world is ravaged,
By a handful of tyrants,
The faithful voted
Evil empire.
