Too bad they're beyond bias to the point where they don't bother hiding it anymore. :I

@shaundoerr5451 Americans won't die for Ireland, especially if they start the war by backing terrorists.

@Xighor Killing civilians specifically for a political cause is terrorism, though. It's the literal definition of it. And just because some governments are uber-tyrannical, doesn't mean you get to ignore all safety measures that the government placed. Covid should've taught you that some government laws are there for a reason.

@Punisher5791 Attacking Iran for British interests was a bad idea. But considering Iran's conduct since then, there will be no peace. And bending over for foreign dictators who would love to kill you is just pathetic. Bringing up the US' fuckery with the Natives also means nothing when nations routinely fucked with weaker peoples around them, including Iran. The Native American experience being a shameful thing in US history is a fact, but not when it comes to the international reality where that was the norm.

@luchthonn Do you wish UAE, Iraq, Lebanon, and Afghanistan good luck against Iranian imperialism too?

@papichulo4171 If you hate the US government, then you're pretty much an idiot. Fear it, be wary of it, keep tabs on it -that much is what everyone should do. It has overwhelming power, of course. But in the grand scheme of things, it has done far more good than probably any institution in modern history. Just its US Aid alone has saved billions of lives, and that doesn't even begin to talk about its actions against horrid ideologies while countries like Ireland stuck its thumb up its ass and wagged its fingers while millions died.

@HiHi-tc9rc Americans aren't gonna die for Brits either; it really depends on how this occurs. If the Irish instigate this, then the US is just gonna economically grind them until they stop. If the Brits do, then it will be them being grinded. Just don't be an imperialist prick. Edit: Also, its unlikely the Irish can be even half as good as the Vietnamese. They had terrain and US political limitations. More like another Afghanistan; but Ireland would be ruined for generations even if the US politically loses such a conflict while the US only loses a few thousand men. So don't go and invite that, yeah?

@leslielively3092 Irish hate the "Yanks" in the first place. So you won't be getting any respect back lol

@deaganachomarunacathasaigh4344 Until Northern Irish declare the need for a referendum and win the independence vote, it won't happen. These terrorists agitating and killing people is wrong, and it's disgusting that Irish defend it. Wtf is wrong with you people?

@conradofficial6094 Uh, that seems like a lot of work considering the amount of replies...I do agree that I shouldn't have made a generalized statement, tho

@rikkwakeupwesternworld9874 The CIA doesn't have the power to ruin a country's economy, you lunatic. It can only back groups in other countries with equipment and money, at best. Nor has the US ever had the ability to literally force countries to war. You are seriously off your meds. You simultaneously believe the US is so powerful that it can ruin countries just by pointing the CIA at it, and then at the same tie believe the US is the most incompetent nation on Earth. It's funny, really.

@rikkwakeupwesternworld9874 We know the CIA acted out, but the CIA's couping activities mostly stopped Post-Cold War when the threat of the USSR ended. You're making up a new reality that simply didn't exist. The US would've continued with many coups Post-Cold War if you were correct, but it didn't, it almost entirely stopped. The US engaged with other countries and fought with them, but the CIA never ousted Anti-US governments just because they're Anti-US. The US is the foremost leader in the Western World and in essence, the planet. It is a leader in education and in wealth, though not the absolute best. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/most-educated-countries https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/median-income-by-country And it protects all of the world's democracies from foreign dictatorships. There are issues to be sure, but you're just a propagandist trying to make it appear much much worse than it is.

@rikkwakeupwesternworld9874 I like how you're like "statistics can be made up!" and then unironically use the concept of "ask random people" for proof. You don't understand the concept of "sample size", do you? Statistics are the gold standard for checking how people feel, or what the reality of a situation is. Those statistics are far more reliable than just running around and asking random people. The US is feared, and sometimes reviled. True enough. And who the heck cares what Russia thinks? It's a country with a failing economy that can barely bully Ukraine and has zero control over their backyard. Italy has a bigger economy than Russia. No one does anything without an ulterior motive, smart one. Countries can't. They're meant to serve their own interests first. A country that does something without an ulterior motive is a failed country since they're throwing their constituents under the buss. That doesn't mean that what they've done is negated. I don't believe what my leaders say. I verify to see if there is some truth, or if there is not. But you just take everything Putin says at face value, so a literal Kremlin shill has no right to cry about any American just automatically believing their leaders; that's literally what you do in the first place.

@howiegaming9985 They do, they're just rarer.

@howiegaming9985 They both exist in the north. Have you not heard of BLM-based militias? Like I said, they're rarer, but they exist.
1
@howiegaming9985 Unless they do something that is illegal, they can do whatever the hell they want. Just like right-wing militias. What's the big deal?
1
@howiegaming9985 Okay, but they still have a right to exist. And you should respect their right to express themselves, like a true American. "I don't like what you have to say, but I'll fight for your right to say it".
1
@howiegaming9985 Then you're not an American, and you shouldn't act like you care about the concept of freedom at all. You're just a fascist. Like, a literal one, not the ones Antifa idiots call everyone. There's nothing more off-putting than authoritarian Americans imho.
