By DY_nasty Go To PostPentagon press briefing is hilariousThat is a complete clownshoes answer and should be getting some heat.
"what do you think about joint chinese/russian/iranian naval exercises near india"
"navies exercise. that's what they do. I used to exercise myself"
💀
By Kibner Go To PostThat is a complete clownshoes answer and should be getting some heat.i guess the context is lacking. it was jokes all around and pretty light outside of occasional off the wall questions.honestly people should clown fearmongering reporters on the spot more often when it comes to international stuff
going into a press conference and asking about updates regarding tice/the costs and timeline of the NG guys in DC/the definitions and categorization of 'non-offensive support' in yemen? cool, fair, and worth a response.
swinging for the fences by throwing out leading questions about the concerns of nu-axis potentially staging in a close allies' waters? not cool and worth a hearty chuckle before reducing the weight in the room and going on to the next reporter. who hopefully values their time and access
That video montage was pretty effective. When does Trump refute a point of evidence and force testimony?

By JesalR Go To PostFrance has one of the strongest military histories in the world, the whole white flag waving thing is a bit of a misnomerThey clearly surrendered so quickly to the Nazis to activate French revolution bonuses.
I think many people could correct misconceptions about the French military throughout history - but world collectively prefers the meme

Speaking of France
TL;DR: "racism is a leftist American construct deep within their liberal universities. We can't have issues of racism because we are French"
PARIS — The threat is said to be existential. It fuels secessionism. Gnaws at national unity. Abets Islamism. Attacks France’s intellectual and cultural heritage.
The threat? “Certain social science theories entirely imported from the United States,’’ said President Emmanuel Macron.
French politicians, high-profile intellectuals and journalists are warning that progressive American ideas — specifically on race, gender, post-colonialism — are undermining their society. “There’s a battle to wage against an intellectual matrix from American universities,’’ warned Mr. Macron’s education minister.
Mr. Macron’s education minister, Jean-Michel Blanquer, accused universities, under American influence, of being complicit with terrorists by providing the intellectual justification behind their acts.
Mr. Macron — who had shown little interest in these matters in the past but has been courting the right ahead of elections next year — jumped in last June, when he blamed universities for encouraging the “ethnicization of the social question’’ — amounting to “breaking the republic in two.’’
Along with Islamophobia, it was through the “totally artificial importation’’ in France of the “American-style Black question” that some were trying to draw a false picture of a France guilty of “systemic racism’’ and “white privilege,’’ said Pierre-André Taguieff, a historian and a leading critic of the American influence.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/09/world/europe/france-threat-american-universities.html

France(the world, but speaking about France) has a big racism and sexism problem. The terrorism acts haven’t helped Islamophobia one bit unfortunately.
There’s a discussion to be had over the consumption of American culture and how sometimes young people seem more equipped to fix problems over there and show a lack of awareness of the structural problems in the communities they live in. Honestly it’s a bit disappointing at times, but this seems pretty much unstoppable. I hope certain American ideals, like the whole “winner/loser” mentality don’t get too ingrained as some sort of collateral. Unfortunately it has already started to happen, Trump really rallied the crazies worldwide.
