No, we blew up those datacenters.
"Yes, we know you're European, but you will gobble American politics down your throat and you will like it!"
Europeans spent 40 years trying to ignore American politics, and look where it got them.
Europeans spent 500 years making everyone suffer for European politics and now they can't handle that the feed on their pretty lights box isn't about them.
It doesn't need to be about either one of us. This is narcissistic thinking.
When something politically significant happens in the EU, it gets contained in the political community hell. When something politically significant happens in the USA, it's forced everywhere and you can't escape it even if you don't give the slightest of fucks.
It's gotta be about someone, and I'm not going to complain in fifty years when it's all about China (because I'll be dead)
In fairness, Europe was the punching bag of its neighbors for the 1000 years prior.
But otherwise, I gotta say, I've been hearing a lot more about global geopolitics as a matter of public interest generally speaking. All the Latin American elections are big news, especially with Brazil being the latest pink-tide domino to fail. The Pacific Rim states regularly make headlines. Everyone who has even a casual eye towards global affairs is keyed up on the BJP anti-democratic turn on the eve of India's general election. Americans are watching with bated breath on every election from the UK to Hungary, given how they threaten to shape the Ukraine/Russia war.
If anything, American politics hasn't been getting as much coverage by comparison. It's weird not to have the entire month of October be one Surprise after another, during an election year. Hell, we skated right through prime Silly Season in August and everyone was too fixated on diesel prices and AI stocks to notice political bullshit.
Y'all got off easy this time.
Wat. Macedonian empire? Roman Republic? Ancient Greece?
In regards to your opener sentence: Bitch, what.

Hell, west Rome fell to other Europeans. Viking Age, Europeans. You had Charles Martel and his little moment at Tours but at the end of the day you're just talking about neighbors going to war with each other which is just what neighboring regions do, historically.
Please vote...if you are younger than 40...really...please vote
Hey now, I’m 41, and I think that detonating billionaires is a fine first step in societal reform. Don’t count out the middle-aged! We’re leftists too!
Or if you paid attention in school!!
Vibes-Based Voting is how we got Trump in the first place.
If you have shit politics, please STAY THE FUCK HOME. I've had too many fucking Redcaps showing up in election booths for the last ten years, thank you very much.
People say I have short politics because I want to abolish work, school, and the human concepts of “hours” and “minutes.” Should I still vote?
I’m also over 40 so between this and OP’s comment it would be pretty convincing.
Except if you want to vote for republicans than maybe stay home.
