Thread: USA government gone rogue (well... not exactly. L.)

How about we have our government and Cuba has it's government so no issues? How about peace if we haven't been attacked?

Being an @sshole government isn't about being just a different government. Look at Japan, India, Brazil, for instance. They're all unique in many ways, and they pretty much differ from what we expect to see in the American/European culture. And everyone's fine with that! No classified operations, no CIA involved, etc. So, it's not about being different and "not like us". The thing is, such regimes as Cuba, North Korea, Syria, Iran and certain others are a big misery for all those unlucky people who happen to be inside those countries, and a big disgrace for all humanity on the outside. It's a shame to have such dictatorships these days, and not do anything about it. So, something has to be done. Probably by those who can.

Oh, but people are buying all that propaganda! zOOmg! Horrors!

If I were to buy myself an island, I would run there my own custom state that would fit just right for me. So yeah, I find it a little weird when you buy stuff and then gift it to a country like that. The same would go for anyone buying a Lamborghini and "annexing" it to the Kremlin/White House property.

That's the most naive thing I've heard in my entire life. You made my day, thank you very much

You know, the American nation is the nation of saints, who cannot help but think about all the unfairness in the world, and, big surprise, that's all without even thinking of any benefit for themselves


P.S. Eric, you do know that what you wrote pretty much coincides with the stereotypic view of an average American??? If so, you're such a subtle troll. If not, then my condolences
