I agree; "America" is a continent.

I (Brazilian) told my fiance (German) that the EU is "A Colony Plus," in the sense they're also allowed to exploit other poorer nations, but will be thrown under the bus when convenient - as what happened with Nordstream showed him. Unlike my country and others, which are just a colony/backyard (some trying to break their chains and getting punished for it).

To be honest, my father taught me to never underestimate human stupidity.

This dude should take his diploma and whipe his arse upon it.

Pretty much on point.

I suppose it is a case of projection, since their own countries do it with minorities such as Asians.

Under the European Union’s newly enacted Digital Services Act, TikTok must monitor and remove illegal content such as terrorist content or illegal hate speech.

So, they admit there is legal hate speech.

And nothing of value was lost.

"They look just like us."

Someone needs to be on the spotlight if they hope to keep the cash flowing...

He looks oddly cuddly.

To put it in a very venal metaphor: Canada apologizing for doing it again is just like my father's father apologizing to him and my grandmother every time he got drunk and hit them - only to do it again.

It is the ultimate weapon: It is a jet plane, it is a submarine, it is a suicide drone, the possibilities are endless!

Glad to see you also made this distinction. Still, it saddens me when I see victims of propaganda siding with their oppressors - and a lot of them are so deep in denial they simply do not accept any contrarian facts... but I digress.

However, to a point, I think the elites have started to believe their own propaganda.

This kind of mental gymnastics and denial reminds me of the Bloggs couple from the movie When The Wind Blows.

"Never celebrate a victory until you're standing over the podium," was something my mother would say.

Saying "the West is done", just like the "dead horse" that is Communism (that, while "being done," still terrifies the imperialists to beat this supposed dead horse) is not prudent. They've gotten out of tough spots before, so we must first watch and wait.

I'm about to marry one. At least he doesn't lean to the right, even if he has some awful misconceptions about great many things.

Sem problemas, camarada ^^

I didn't quite mean selling, but learning how to make what we need in-house without relying on others - something DPRK and Iran did. Iran specially has developed a tank named Zulfiqar that's a lot like the EE-T1.

But you're right; we'd need a socialist government for any such events to develop. And for closer ties with the rest of the South.
