Is the US not a part of the world? And why would US News not belong in News? Iβm confused.
Actually USA is a pocket dimension
Do US doesn't think it's part of the world, it thinks it's its own different world that only contains the US.
Because of the sheer amount of US-Americans, we curated seperate places for them, only containing US-American news, where they donβt mess up the rest.
There are people who are stupid enough to pretend the goings on of the world's only superpower isn't relevant to their lives, as they scroll Facebook on their iPhones within the combat radius of an F-35.
I'm also within range of a North Korean nuclear missile, what's your point?
The difference is, F-35s work.
That's right, ignore any inconvenient truths. If you don't like it, then it mustn't work.
Is your entire world view centred on the idea that the rest of the planet is essentially in the stone age and then the US air force is just a flying above it all? I remind you that the US hasn't won a single war in 80 years.
Must be why North Korea has the best selling fighter jet in the world.
...oh wait.
So you don't believe that North Korea has the potential to be a threat to the United States? If so then what about China, are they a threat, Russia is certainly a threat l, there's a whole period of history of America considering Russia to be a threat.
If they're threats to you then they must also be superpowers, stands to reason. So there are a lot of super powers, and yet all I ever hear about is the US. Odd that.
No I don't believe that North Korea has the potential to be a threat to the United States. I've seen North Korea help Russia threaten Ukraine. How's that going for them. Europe is currently pissing themselves wondering what they can do against Russia without America's help, that's been kinda funny to watch.
We took the Soviet Union seriously. There's a difference: The Soviet Union had Ukraine in it. Turns out they were the brains of the operation.
As for China...I think I'm gonna live long enough to see that fight.
Ukraine's army is holding back Russia on it's own and you believe that europe is scared? You are absolutely delusional.
Those iPhones made in China you mean?
America is not the only superpower and well on its way to no longer being the biggest one. Trump complains a lot about providing defense capability for Europe and other places but in return for that America got influence which is what made it a superpower.
Now that people are no longer trusting the US that influence will be reduced. Europe won't be the next superpower but probably China will be. I'm not very happy with that but as a European I don't really want us to be a superpower either.
China, the nation that is good at doing what western nations tell them how to do.
Hurblurblurb threaten bombing. uSA! uSA!
That's what you sound like.
Oh, yes, the only superpower of like 4. Europe, Russia, China, USA.
Is Russia still considered a superpower? Lately it feels like more of China's sockpuppet.
Absolutely they are, but they're in fall.
Also, I find lemmy wild. One person here said china is doing the wests (which includes europe) bidding, you now said russia is chinas puppet. Since Russia is fighting europe, which is "the west", are the europeans fighting themselves? There can be a capitalist argument made here, but otherwise there is severe misinformation here, possibly just based on the lack of nuance. We should fix that collectively.
Well, they supposedly still have enough functional nukes to cause another mass extinction, so I wouldn't bank on a bluff, but you're not wrong either.
