    I can’t really speak to Europe in particular as I’m an American and mainly understand American issues, but from the bits that I’ve seen it seems like Russia has been trying to influence the politicians of any country that “dares” to interfere with their intentions.

    I would not be the slightest bit surprised to find European NATO countries have their own Russia manipulated politicians either willingly or unknowingly fighting against the release of weapons/money to Ukraine. On the opposite side we in America have a gigantic lobby that is solely focused on helping Israel, again I would not be the slightest bit surprised to find they too are operating in other countries that would help them (not necessarily a bad thing in concept, any country would want to have a lobby to petition other governments to help them. I’m not trying to be antisemitic or anything)

    There is also the concept that Isreal helps as a “stabilizer” for the middle east. That’s the geopolitics argument, I’m not smart enough to know whether that actually works as intended or not.

    Yeah, I’m not exhaling until like February… There’s no guarantee that winning this election is actually winning this election…

    There’s a very real possibly that Trump loses the popular vote, loses the electoral college vote, and still “wins” because shithead propagandized Karens filled important election official positions in states that really matter… They’ll refuse to certify and create a condition where the votes go to states as representation, giving GOP the boost they need since even though land can’t vote, they have more “red” land than “us.”

    That sounds kind of petty to be honest. I’d just send an email or leave a voicemail and wait a day as long as I can still meet whatever deadline I had set. Everyone makes mistakes and it seems like it would be hard on everyone involved to have to do it over again.

    If it’s a name, then yeah I wouldn’t question them though lol

    That’s almost exactly why our brainwashing elementary schooling is spent indoctrinating teaching us about how we’re The Best, Most Free, Country In The World™©® and that all “3rd world” countries are war torn shitholes with nothing but cartels and warlords.

    Can’t let the peons learn it’s actually much better elsewhere…
