    Last time I checked, Trump pulled troops out of Middle East and Asia, where US destabilized many countries. As far as the rest of the world is concerned, Trump is much better.

    Source: Living right next to those countries and have friends who fled from such countries.

      the only thing Trump did for the rest of the world was give us something to laugh at. Problem is 30% of you guys still don’t see the joke

        Do you really think rest of the world isn’t laughing at you with Biden in power? There’s always something to laugh at.

          I mean we really don’t laugh at Biden. he’s just some generic politician as far as we (the rest of the world) are concerned.

          its just the brain-dead Trump nuts who seem to think we see him the same as those lunatics

            I don’t understand the second point. Who’s seeing who like “those lunatics?”

                I’m not a mind reader, I don’t know who’s who according to you.

                You have a president that barely can talk, barely can walk. I’ve seen edits of it in European languages shared around in Instagram and media. And in Eastern European countries, your army having diversity hires is a laughing material. I’ve seen soldiers laughing at that first hand. Because for them, every soldier must meet incredibly high standards where just having a scar could get you eliminated.

                I don’t know who’s fault is what, but people are still laughing at you. You could build a utopia and people will still find something to laugh at. Therefore it’s not really logical to compare “who’s more of a laughing stock than other.”

                  i dont even have a president in my country, unless you count maybe president of some company. ‘barely walk, barely talk’ - are we talking about the covfefe drinking, hamberder eating idiot here? i guess the yanks had one of those. biden could literally be any one of the other forgettable world leaders like macron, trudeau, albanaese, the british guy, the danish chick, who cares. they are administrators.

                  you on the other hand seem obsessed with biden specifically. given the way you write, it sounds like your not even american, so why exactly does bidens ability to walk have to do with you exactly? are we both laughing at america but you think its because biden ‘cant walk’? because its pretty obvious I’m personally laughing at america because they elected an ape that cant string a tweet (edit, an X) together yet somehow half the country think he’s god

                    This conversation is going nowhere. I’ve told I live next to Syria, not US. You asked what are people laughing at and I delieved. It’s not that complicated. I didn’t even say anything about what I think of Biden. I just listed things that I saw floating around.

            By…, not being there? Interfering less? The worst the army did was to left behind ammunition for Taliban to take in Afghanistan.

            Compare and contrast this to one of the major reasons for Syrian conflict and complete chaos it (US) brought to Iraq; that’s nothing.

                  Do you seriously think people are better off in Afghanistan now? Fucking hell you’re deluded.

                    I think it will take a generation to repair all the damage that the country suffered since the 2002 invasion and occupation. Getting out from under an occupation government that regularly dropped bombs and mortars across its surface, sent in teams of assassins to execute local leadership, and looted the treasure for two decades running was a necessary first step to recovery. But it won’t be any kind of place you’d want to live, any more than Iran was after the '79 revolution or Vietnam was once Ford finally pulled us out of Saigon. It will take a generation or more to repair the damage, assuming some new assholes don’t invade again.

        No, they haven’t. It’s the thing with fucking up entire countries; they never really get healed. It’s just that less and less people are running away that it’s getting more and more stable each year.
