@IAMAL_PHARIUS if (when) the turn on the taps for Nordstream 2, how does the US credibly destabilise Europe?
@IAMAL_PHARIUS they're gonna pay the EU in dollars to destabilise themselves so that the dollar gets stronger
different problem, same hammer
@IAMAL_PHARIUS maybe they can tear Europe apart with information warfare, but the whole thing is a mirage for the email class - the more you destabilise the less room there is for middlebrow compliance
@Telvannichad @IAMAL_PHARIUS we've made it through worse
while I understand your perspectives, there's a self-fulfilling prophecy in ascribing demi-god powers to elite manipulation - doesn't take much history to show how out of control and riddled with blowback these tactics are
keep an eye on the players but don't fall for their own delusions of grandeur.
@lichelordgodfrey @Telvannichad @IAMAL_PHARIUS and in fairness to America, it never asked for the poisoned chalice of world rule that Europe foisted upon it when we could no longer handle our shit
America didn't have to be in Europe, it didn't have to be in the Pacific either if America hadn't embargoed Japan's oil imports.
