    help

    We can’t.

    The US was told that if they voted it in, the world couldn’t help.

    We did help by advising them to vote because it was the easy way to stop it. They didn’t listen, told the world to mind its own business, made excuses like work et al as why they couldn’t vote. Some said it was their right not to vote.

    That was the easy method and since we weren’t entitled to that vote, we couldn’t help there either. Now it’s one of the harder ones; either shutdown to force action from politicians who can stop it, or civil unrest. The first is easier, the circumstances the same. We cannot help, it has to occur from within.

      We help by moving on, building new ties, and never forgiving or trusting again at least as long as this farce is in living memory.

        Watch that memory die the moment a European politician sees a chance for lining their own pockets…

          How so? Is the USA really a viable investment right now? Do you realistically see it becoming reliable one in the foreseeable future?

            No and no, but that hasn’t kept European politicians from treating it as such. Especially our German “government” is full of sycophants kissing Silicon Valley’s arses.

            Compared to Europe? Yes. If we are cutting out morals, anyways and I’ve got some bad fucking news for the countries that helped America get this big with the large global intelligence apparatus: No one gives a fuck about morals but the plebs, maybe.

              The rich can weather the chaos just fine. They can use the opportunity to buy even more when the prices are lowest.

              Things that would wipe a normal persons retirement or kids college fund out are seen a “market corrections” and investment opportunities by these ghouls.

      This ^^ we were all actively against usa voting for a tyran. Yet they chose dictatorship over egg prices. Not much to do about it.
