RE: Subject

It is Kim who is the problem. Those submitting to his threats, are his enablers.

Note: Thank you tami. I will repost "Which part of: "That is not an attack on anyone" did you not understand?", in response to JE.

When I am attacked with worse.


Well I saw no attack, like it or not a Tami's statements as to how the world views the USA are unfortunately accurate. I for one don't agree totally but understand why many feel this way.

I think you will find there will be very little world support for the USA if they strike North Korea first.

Where did I say it was my view?

I said: How fair or just that perception is, in the minds of Americans, or even their allies is also immaterial.

I discovered that for myself in my own country, and in the two European countries, and one Eastern one I've spent enough time living in, to learn from those around me, that it doesn't matter what justification I try to use to defend my country's position as an ally of yours - the view doesn't change.


Tami, if your alleged 'world view' of the US is correct then may I ask why so many MILLIONS of those 'world' residents are trying so desperately to come here to live?
Because you've helped make their countries unliveable? Because of what you used to stand for when others didn't?

I see you very conveniently claim no national flag.
Perhaps you missed my debut on these boards? I was raised by parents who grew up on different continents and in different hemispheres to one another. Neither ranked nationalism very high on the list of priorities I should first and foremost identify myself with.


I am led to believe you are another outside 'expert'
By whom were you led, and how did you get to forming the view I based my opinion of your country on one quote from one American, predating most of the last half-century, so well before I was born. I found it interesting.

A man who didn't draw a straight or sober breath in the last 25 years of his self admitted destructive life?
Maybe that speaks more coherently than anything else could.


Sorry Tami, I realize the Left viewpoint of denigrating the US is a way to be popular in some realms of thought but reality dictates otherwise, and not Thompson's 'reality'.
Which part of: "That is not an attack on anyone" did you not understand?


And you have just confirmed every point I made. I don't live for 'debuts' on these boards so I must have missed the red carpet. Again your 'world view' is flawed and is, has and will be rejected by a majority of Americans. I don't criticize or denigrate whatever culture from which you sprang and your "That is not an attack on anyone" is textbook passive/aggressiveism.

I refuse to be drawn into fruitless debates by anyone and therefor state my 'Jaundiced' views without regard to opinion. Take them or leave them and if you don't want to read them please exercise your right to Mr Red Button and/or the filter.

The World's, and especially European indifference to an Unstable Tyrant. Threatening millions of innocents over words


Clyde have you ever 4t it could just be Kim Ping Pong is winding up and taking the " royal piss " out of your ohh so good president and his tweets , coz that's sorta how it looks over here in Europe . Kim Ping Pong says " I'm going to nuke the USA and Trump gets wound up by him and comes back at him just like kids in the playground innit .
I'd put money on him just winding the twonk up and hoping his hairpiece will fall off or maybe make a fool of himself ( like he don't do that every time he opens his hole ) coz DT really does come across as SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Presidential ( Respect IS EARNED and he ain't earned swat )
( I'm being sarcastic in case you can't work it out )
Life is what you make of it :-)

When i'm good i'm very good , but when i'm bad i'm shi#eloads better ;-) In't I " buttercups " p.m.s.l at authoritie !!;-)

How do you and the rest of America know that view is flawed?
Americans may reject it, but that doesn't make the 'world view' any different. In fact it may just reinforce it.

National interests that have been there for well over a century, even pre-dating the "October Revolution" in Russia 1917...

America went to war against Spain to free Cuba from Spanish domination. But the war provided the United States an opportunity to seize overseas possessions and begin building an American empire. After ousting Spain from Cuba, the United States seized Puerto Rico. And subsequently it annexed the Philippines, Samoa, Guam, and Wake Island, followed by Hawaii.

After the Civil War, the United States neglected its navy, which ranked twelfth in the world by 1880. Although the United States had no overseas colonies to protect, business and government leaders realized that a strong navy was essential to defend trade and growing international interests. Beginning in 1881, Congress supported a modernization program that would make the American navy effective. The new ships would have steel hulls, steam engines, and large, rifled guns. At first, the ships still used sails as a backup to steam power. But by the 1890s, the U.S. Navy had converted to all-steel and -steam, and ranked among the top five navies in the world. Naval strategist Alfred Thayer Mahan stated, “Americans must now begin to look outward. The growing production of the country demands it . . . .”


...and any country that objects or attempts to change how their nation is treated, end up being threatened by that fleet.

Amazing that a little fat chump is making fools out of the "greatest nation on Earth".

As confirmed with the above post and agreement with the post, as referencing this Life and Death Thread. The majority of people in the USA, have correctly dismissed the majority opinion of the Old World.
Funny thing with your "new world" it hasn't stopped, & indeed, continues to emulate that old world.

So teacher, where is the difference?

As for your continuing argument about Ping Pong II terrorising the world into submission, not true. Are you admitting that he is terrorising the USA though?

As with advancing towards representative government and away from Ruling Royalty, was not a belief in exceptionalism.

Advancing away from the belief in Superior People. Is also not a belief in exceptionalism.

Just an understanding of the difference between good and evil.

Why is the red period there? Your phrases do not make sense. The subject and I assume the predicate are not linked.

A system of government decided by the almighty dollar is better.

One where gerrymandering and voter suppression is legal.
A system that refuses to evolve.
A system where the minority rules. The number of Representatives was fixed in 1913. (UK reviews after every census, 10 years) Therefore Electoral college is skewed, so you get minority Presidents.
You have Presidents that can make laws based on beliefs not facts.

I'm not saying any other country has a better system but yours is broken.

By what you are saying it sounds very much like you believe you are superior. And I know that is not true of nearly all Americans I have met.

Of course not. Who comes to the aide of the U.S.A. when the $&^t hits the fan within our borders, such as 9/11?

Oh, but, what country is called upon for help when other countries are in need of it?
