    I feel sorry for foreigners. They spend so much time thinking about us, it’s like we live rent free in their minds.

    Half the time we don’t even know they exist until we need to spread some freedom liberally over where they live.

      The reason foreigners are forced to think about the burger empire is because it’s causing constant suffering for the rest of the world. US needs to be lanced like a boil, so that the rest of humanity can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

        Don’t you think that would be like “meet the new boss, same as the old boss”? Usually when terrorists are taken out violently they are replaced by even more extreme terrorists.

        How do you think it would actually play out if the burger empire vanished?

          I think we’re already seeing how it’s playing out. We’re moving towards a multipolar world that’s no longer going to be dominated by a single power. Your analogy doesn’t really make sense on a geopolitical level either. For example, the one power that can match the US today is China, and China hasn’t been to war since the 70s, it’s lifted over 800 million people out of poverty, and managed to establish mutually beneficial relationships with countries all across the world. The path of oppression and domination that US chose isn’t the only way of human relations. US behaves the way it does because it is a fascist state, and fascism must be defeated for humanity to flourish.
