This looks like Russian/Chinese propaganda or just lazily photoshopped image.

Dear Earth,
The U.S. is about to fuck over humanity.
Zero fucks about climate change.
Leadership connections with the worst ass hats on the planet.
I apologize.
I wish y’all the best.
about to
🧐
Inauguration ain’t till January
Some things don’t change from administration to another, such as:
U.S. Military Is World’s Biggest Polluter
And Democratic politicians are just as capable of war crimes.
Cool.
I’m sure there will be no difference in the US’s impact on and relations with the rest of the world once Trump realizes over for Biden.
I’m glad it’ll be the same, because I was thinking it’d get worse.
Silly me!
During Clinton’s administration 500,000 Iraqi children were killed through sanctions and Albright on 60 Minutes said it was worth it.
Now during Biden we have a genocide with over 50,000 dead.
The US foreign policy has been terrible even under Democrats. Liberals only care when the president is a Republican.
Brain dead take of the day.
Yikes, that’s a pretty strong aversion to reality.
Unfortunately, leaving a salty comment doesn’t make the truth go away. The democrats have literally been facilitating a genocide for the past year. They suck. They can be “not the absolute worst possibility” and still be very very shit.
America: Establishes military bases, missile silos, CIA blacksites, international espionage agreements to violate the rights of the citizens in dozens of countries, has invaded and overturned governments because they disagree with what the president wants, calls itself the world police.
Americans: “Why are so many non-Americans invested in what goes on in our country? I know we’re a big deal, but why would anyone be interested? Must be paid actors and bots! I don’t care about French elections, why would they care about American?”
Nobody in America thinks this fyi. We know exactly why the world cares and it’s because we are the world’s only super power.
We’re also pretty pissed about how cheap our senators are. Like bro I couldn’t buy a 2025 Tacoma for what your selling the free world for.
You know this?
Yes. There’s nobody who knows anything about anything who doesn’t know America is the world’s only super power.
Some people who don’t know what they’re talking about say China, and that may be true someday but not today.
Fuck off yank

Americans may be surprised to find that foreigners actually don’t pay as much attention to US elections as they think. Even many people in the US don’t care, they’re just inundated with media coverage of it. At most about 66% of eligible voters even vote and the people that do vote aren’t necessarily informed. You may have seen interviews with undecided voters. They turn up to vote but haven’t necessarily put much thought into it.
As an aside, I find it funny when Americans scream about other countries empire building and carrying out provocative military exercises when the US has so many military bases everywhere. You don’t need to officially annex land to control it, that’s old style thinking.
The picture is an exaggeration. India DOES NOT allow foreign military bases

Sri Lanka participated in the US redition process. This image is also rather old. Very likely the Modi government has opened the back door to this shit in the last ten years.
Yeah the Aussie presence is in completely the wrong spots too. It’s bullshit.
Putin is gonna pee his pants in glee when his orange tool starts shutting them down
American exceptionalism is ingrained so deep in most people here that they would never even consider or doubt why the world pays attention to them, just: “Duh of course they do, because we’re America!”
Correct. I think the entire premise that an American would question this idea is an indication that the meme was made by somebody from a country with one of these pins in it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending this mindset. I am myself an American making this observation with a sense of shame and mild horror.
Americans run around moralizing while exploding everyone. They impose their views and politics into every country on earth. But if you criticized them for being idiots who allowed Trump to win, they tell you “you’re not even American!” As if American stupidity doesn’t affect the rest of the world. And this is the kind of shit I’m hearing from the American left now the side that was supposed to be smart and reasonable, and you know, not racist or xenophobic. But they’ve also gone toxic extreme as well. Americans are nuts.
Or they could realize the reality of the situation without making it about taking credit for being “the best”. As an American I know our country sucks, especially now, and also that it’s important for global stability.
Nah, it’s probably what you said. I just truly think the US is way better than any other country. /s
Edit: I missed that they wrote “most”. In my defense though a lot of users are currently cruelly shitting on Americans unconditionally. A lot of us didn’t want this bullshit
Iirc the way these bases work is with the agreement from the host country.

countrycountry’s government and most definitely NOT the people of said country.FTFY.
Some countries have their people elect their government
Right, right… like the US just did?
How’s that vote on healthcare coming along?
I was thinking more European countries, since the discussion was, you know, foreign countries hosting US military bases
So-called “liberal democracy” works pretty much the exact same way it does in Europe (or anywhere else) as it does in the US.
Ie, it’s 95% capitalism and 5% fake democracy substitute (the ratios vary slightly but never by much). And, like “liberal democracy” everywhere, the 5% fake democracy substitute will be rapidly replaced with 5% very not-fake fascism if you threaten the 95% capitalism part in any way whatsoever.

Lol no. Much of Europe ranks much higher in all sort of democracy, press freedom etc indexes. Not all liberal democracies are created equal.
I’m guessing you’re having a real hard time understanding that there is absolutely NOTHING democratic about so-called “liberal democracy,” eh?
Why is that? Is the new information clashing with your programming?
