This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

We're not talking about culture, we're talking about foreign policy.

There's 740 million people in Europe (more than South America) spread across 47 independent countries.

And Europe includes countries that are Allies of the US, Enemies of the US, as well as Neutral countries.

So again, you'll have to be more specific.

They don’t care about genocide or anything that’s outside their navelstaring country. Yesterday the libs complained about an anti-genocide post here bcs they used X. The blue MAGA battle against red MAGA is way more important to them. All they want is to go back to their bubble of ‘democracy’ where they keep the fascism for their foreign policy.

Thats the comment I was responding to. Very clearly talking about the people living there and not the goverments foreign policy.

And Europe includes countries that are Allies of the US, Enemies of the US, as well as Neutral countries.

Ok maybe Serbia and Russia get a pass for resisting US control, but this was after they let US culture in and their people got decimated for it, so not really.

I'm from Ireland. A country in Europe where both the people and government are outspoken against whats happening in Gaza and are both actively taking steps to work toward stopping it despite US influence trying to stop us.

You wont go a single day in this country without seeing Palestinian flags being flown.

You think the Europeans in Ireland don't care about genocide?

Maybe Ireland is the sole exception to the rest of the subcontinent then. What have they tried to do, slipped completely passed me.
