    Arbitrary lines drawn by like minds. The UK might not be officially in the EU anymore, but that doesn’t change the fact that you all share the same values and lifestyles as the US. Failed liberal democracies that gave all the power to the owner class that are now welding it to murder children and overthrow sovereign nations. Western civilization is a joke. You’re all patsies like us. No better, no worse.

        My point was that the UK and EU don’t have a leg to stand on when criticizing the genocidal US. You’re as guilty as we are. Just watch as the UK and EU put boots on the ground in defense of Israel.

          There isn’t even support for this in the US, and you think the EU will help after all the threats, insults and tariff bullying? We have a war in Ukraine where a friendly nation is defending against an aggressor, I don’t see any country willing to support this clusterfuck besides perhaps the UK

              There is quite a gap between boots on the ground and condemning an attack isn’t there?

                Of course, they’re on opposite sides.

                EDIT: pardon the pedantic answer. Boots on the ground or not condemning an attack still places them on the side of the war hungry fascists.

          the UK an the EU are not related things.

          the EU has no army.

          you’re upset and lashing out because the shame is too great.

          no country are angels, but stay focused on what’s happening now. disparaging an entire continent because you’re sad isn’t going to change anything.

            I’m not lashing out at all. You’re completely ignoring the point I made of UK and EU righteous smugness being fake performance art. An army means nothing, you’re still sending military force to support a fascist genocidal country commiting a genocide and now open war with its neighbor. You have no altruistic leg to stand on. You’re culpable now too. Get in the pool. The water is warm.
