Netanyahu is also Merz’s daddy.

    How do you think fighting all of Europe and your own population at once would go for the US military, especially a fractured one? You’re not hiding any of it from anyone either, unlike what could be achieved back in the 1930’s.

    Even if Russia joined in on the other side I doubt it’d be fun for anyone involved. China would certainly enjoy it for a while but that’s about it.

    You already have what could be called death camps in your soil. They tried to kick out their undesirables before they resorted to killing them in the third Reich, too. Except for the ones that started dying imminently, of course. You’re not hiding those camps from anyone either, not in 2026 and not as long as the internet exists.

    I bet Venezuela will be such a nice place to live after the US will “use the oil money and put it back to the Venezuelan people”, too. Nobody believed that, absolutely nobody. It’s quite the lie to say that while simultaneously taking away all safety nets from your own population. Come on, seriously?

      This is assuming the US population would do anything.

      Like, most probably they will, but it’s not a given, considering the military still adhered to a lot of illegal orders recently - the deployment of Marines to LA was most probably illegal (that’s at least debatable), the killing of random people on Venezuela’s seas was 100% illegal, the invasion itself was illegal (no Congress approval) - all of this makes me think that they wouldn’t have too much trouble attacking the EU too, even though a large portion of them trained with the EU troops for decades, even fought alongside them in Afghanistan and Iraq.

      Me? No, I don’t have any death camps on “my” soil.

        You wrote “If it becomes a full on totalitarianism and there’s no civil war, we’re plain and simple fucked.” earlier. Either you’re American or you’re not, pick one.

          Read that again, mate, but slower. Nothing in that sentence suggests I’m an American, quite the opposite, actually.

            In that case your views are even dumber, seeing as you’re stating things left and right on random like they’re hard facts. Note that I haven’t necessarily disagreed with you, merely stated that things can go several different ways and we don’t know anything for sure yet. Yet you’re still clinging on the belief that your view on the matter is the only correct one and everyone else is dead wrong. Dangerously arrogant, that.

              I’m sorry, what…? Please elaborate.

              Yet you’re still clinging on the belief that your view on the matter is the only correct one and everyone else is dead wrong

              How is it surprising that I stand by my own opinion…? That’s what opinions are, mate. I’m stating facts about US military strength, and opinions about how a potential war between US and EU would go. I firmly believe that the US - even without the European bases - would roll over EU, because EU is reliant on US tech for comms and intelligence.

              You haven’t even attempted to refute any of that, just went for “you’re arrogant”. Come on, be better.
