What's up with some people expecting everyone but Americans to fix America's shit?
Everything on your list is an American export besides Greenland.
It's not about fixing. We are looking at patterns of challenging international laws and order for the last 4 years, yet people pretend that threating to annex Greenland is the red line. Where in fact the red line should not exist when the leader is a criminal.
To be fair, in Europe everyone has realized the US is no longer a trustworthy ally, and steps are being taken away from depending on our old ally. But in this proces, officials won't speak their mind, because in some respects we are still vulnerable due to these dependencies. But that shouldn't obscure the fact that no one consider the US as an ally anymore, and that's not just after Greenland. Trump is single handedly destroying 80 years of collaboration and US politics is allowing him.
What is eroupe? Do you mean Europe?
Bullet points dont mean shit if you cant spell.
The best part is that since it's never capitalized either, it seems like they copied it so they wouldn't have to remember how to do it right thereafter, thereby locking in the error.
I used the phone suggestions for some reason it suggests eroupe. I guess I misspelled it to many times.
xD
It sounds so French :)
Damn your age is showing. I haven't seen a grammar Nazi for at least 10 years now. Glad you are still around.
Grammar Nazi? I was looking for clarification because of the horrible spelling. No corrections needed, just observing stupidity.
