Oh so those outside of the states should what? Invade?
The projection on expecting everyone else to fix your mess is insane. And no you don't get to call foul when non americans share their opinion with you about your shit ass nation, as this is what america has done to everyone else (and still is) for as long as I have been alive. Don't like it? Then fix your shit. How you do that (at this point you are doing nothing but defending your poor nation from your keyboard) is up to you.
So please, try and not put words in peoples mouths.
I love this vacuum every single country hides behind blaming America while simultaneously doing awful shit itself or directly benefitting from that relationship.
Exhibit A. Thank you for demonstrating.
This is so fucking ironic, especially paired with you're accusing me of projection. I didn't project a damn thing, and I never said I expect "everyone else to fix" "my" mess. All I said was that you're a smug little keyboard warrior who isn't contributing anything to the solution.
Fuck all the way off with that shit. You have no clue what I do or don't do, and I'm not about to hand you my resumé, but pretending that I'm defending this hellhole is a new level of asinine.
