Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So, in other words, the victims are the people - regardless if they're in Europe or the Americas.
It almost seems as if it's the people versus the broligarchs. Or the oligarchy, for that matter.
Always been class war. We have got to stop engaging in all of these fucking distractions. Us and the ultra rich, that's the problem.
No in USA it's the people, in Europe it's the people AND the governments.
Huge difference, that is caused by USA failing at democracy.
What?
In Europe the threat is to both the people and to the countries as a whole, as USA threatens to close off services for political leverage!
The US government is using the IT infrastructure Europe has build an dependency on against European countries.
The dependency was built on the trust that USA was a country build on respect for the law and democracy, this is evidently no longer true. Meaning the situation has changed dramatically.
In USA USA is in danger from itself more than anything outside USA, in Europe large parts of our infrastructure is in danger from USA, because USA is failing democracy and the rule of law.
This threat has already been enacted in reality, showing the US government is not beyond using such shenanigans:

Obviously the US government isn't threatened by the US government.
Copy. I could not work it out based on how you originally said it.
Thanks, I changed it from country to government, to make it clearer, but country really is more accurate, as it's every level of the country.
