There this Japanese I know that have an American in the next apartment and says he is loud as fuck even in midnight, party hard, and even have sex while the women he fucks go " oh yes! oh yes! "
Why are Americans so rude? At least behave yourself in someone else country
this and this
What a CHAD.
Once upon a time WW2 happened.
This is true. Those at the top are always hated by those are the bottom.
Every large organisation is evil and the US government is the biggest one around.

Making America the villain in Anime always seemed like the writer was trying to be edgy. It's a much larger country that could stomp them militarily and also probably the only thing stopping China from from coming over and fulfilling their grudge over WW2. America becomes scary as a villain because they can't oppose them with force, and they can't oppose them too much politically either or they could withdraw their support. It's a scenario that has all the edge of telling a story about an abusive relationship where Japan too weak to fight back and too dependent to leave.
No you aren't retard
They have complex relationships. USA is the only white country that Japanese really know.
>Germany is one of the villains in chainsaw man currently.
Admittedly I haven't read the most recent chapters but this sounds like a bullshit statement in a story that has pretty much non existent political themes. Like, one character being of German origin isn't a statement of Germany itself.
USA is a mixed race country
If you want good anti US anime kino, I recommend Blood+. Blatantly anti American.
This, Americ*ans are worst than their country

Oh well, I guess your ignorance makes sense, considering the US is more educated than Europe.

At this point I take pity on them
This. Fuck burgers
Ok but it is still white in my book. Let it be "western" then.
Not him but holy fuck is this a bad bait
Because American sjws are constantly trying to ruin Japan. Even Europe isn’t as bad in that regard (besides the UK and Nordic countries, of course).
healthcare.gov
You may have to pay a fee in some states but it isn't federally legally required to have it
They're just jealous of us and are also still salty about the nukes.
I believe Japanese have very poor knowledge about Russia just like any other foreigners because of 70 years of isolation + main Russia is thousands of kilometres away.
American sjw bullied a japanese artist because he drew Nessa slightly too pale. Think about that
>Not him
Every time.
in the ghost in the shell universe didnt japan win world war 2 and america had a second civil war?
So yes, the law says you need to get it. You are also required to buy it for your kids.
They're still upset about that nuke thing, and ofc they like italy and germany since they were friends in the war
>burgers flipping ITT
America literally rapes Japan daily and has been for the entire lifetimes of most Japanese people who are going to be involved in media
Americans dislike Americans so it's all coolio.
No surprise there. NYC and California are cancer.
>expecting a real answer from Yas Forums when half the posters here are leafs, aussies, yuropoors, and spics
I'll just say this about people citing WW2, after the occupation of Japan, America gave Japanese citizens rights they did not previously have and was overall pretty favorable. The Americans could have left their country like a shithole colony but instead they helped prop them up so they could be a strong ally for us since we needed allies in Asia. Old japanese folks even have photos of this badass framed in their homes. If there's dissent or favoritism towards America by /modern/ Japanese then it has little to do with the war.
>pretty much non existent political themes
Yeah nah, you're retarded. The soviet union has been brought up twice now, all the international assassins are there because of political reasons. All the assassins got hired from their respective governments. The manga isn't hard to get but shit like this constantly flies over the heads of morons like yourself. Apply yourself.
At the end of World War I, it was the Americans who stepped in to prevent Japan from being one of their Allies because the President was worried that acknowledging them meant blacks would get rights in his country.
>confusing fictional politics with real politics
The absolute state.
America is a corporate country you either make it or suffer
Hajime no Ippo taught me the older generation very much resented America and its post war occupation. How much of that is true I don't really care to find out but it seems to fall under common sense. Also when you examine things like sets of value you'd be hard pressed to find common ground between America and Japan.
It's social conditioning, it's so Japanese women will desire American men because women love bad boys and the gossip they create by dating them.
I believe women loved the equal rights part not sure what benefits the men got
That's how it's supposed to be.
The Soviet Union is pretty much a universal villain. You can’t really say that’s political.
almost, there was a WW3 in the 21st century and Japan was the only country with anti-fallout micro-machines/cleanup drones ('Japanese miracle')
and America broke up into the normal states, the South, and the flyover states. Some of the plot is around the South and the Normals trying to fuck each other over, with Japan involved as a neutral broker to both

The only bad thing japan did in ww2 was against the US. The koreans and chinks had it coming.
t. American
This has to be bait. Having an underlying setting where political entities are mentioned doesn't make a work political or critical. Do you think Watchmen is about the commies being the bad guys? Pardon me for not seeing the political underlying message of a comedy action shonen story.
The UK has over fifty percent of people overweight. Europe as a whole is getting fatter and will catch up to the US eventually. You can still do your part and go to the gym though.

What kind of twisted propaganda is it to suggest that your country can get nuked, humiliated, occupied and that you would somehow welcome the conqueror with open arms?
You could try to argue that it’s political, but by then the definition of ‘political’ that you are using is so broad as to be meaningless.
Hell, I could argue that my choice of lunch today was political, but at the end of the day, it was not my intention.

Granted he lived there for years, so he has an excuse.
Damn Americans
They ruined America
Read stuff like Embracing Defeat. It's mixed because yeah at the end of the day Americans bombed them both with firebombs and atomic bombs but they also respected the emperor, gave them rights and helped rebuild the country after the war plus the close relationship both countries have had for the last 50+ years. AFAIK Japanese, especially who lived around the time, tended to blame the military for what happened more than the Americans.
So many fucking carbs to shove up their asses.
The United States is fucking huge and not under any sort of dictator. There's 50 states and each state is like it's own country. Obviously there's going to be a lot of rivalry and hate for other states.

But MEXT is the bad guy in GuP.
Don't be retarded. They love us. We gave them lemonade and helped them overcome their shyness with bitchin' cannons.

Man, I wish American women looked like that. Instead, they are usually either super fat or super skinny with dyed hair.

You Americans sure are a contentious people.

The UN still has germany, italy and japan listed as enemy powers. So why would they want to play it friendly?

Baki is that fucking old?
He doesn't though. All of the main heroes that aren't Shinoko are American including the white blonde cheerleader who starts off as racist.
There's also the other Japanese ninja who's portrayed as being a fervent NIPPON STRONK ultranationalist yet he's obsessed with the white blonde cheerleader which is pretty obviously intended to be allegorical.
You just made an enemy for life!
>being this much of a brainlet
Stick to shounen manga.
Normally Americans never actually appear at all, and if they do it's in the form of the navy showing up to fight aliens and die horribly. But Americans are usually stormtrooper-tier mooks that show up and blast stuff and be ineffective before the magical protagonist gets to work saving the day.
Legend of the Dragon Kings
Not only is the USA the bad guy, but you can even argue, its anti-westerner.
If you say so
I love Kumeda so much
True
>Americans are usually stormtrooper-tier mooks
I'll give you dying horribly, but "mook" is a bit unfair, isn't it?
>Picks Chadley who is in a no homo relationship with the twink that choked him out with his thighs

If I were to guess, it's because most Americans in Japan are military personnel as opposed to the fat tourists in Europe.
They view us sort of like how America viewed Russians in the 80s, which is admittedly preferable to Eurofags making dumb jokes all the time or antifa/nazi soccer hooligans and Islamists burning our flag

Also, didn't trump go to japan and acted like an idiot in the handshake with the prime minister
Philippines just gave the middle finger to the US and turned to China, goes to show how reliable that chart is. They backed out of the defense alliance in SEA and they're literally incapable of standing on their own, their only options are join China by choice or by force. Japan also stabbed us in the back before and they'll do it again. Dumping of electronics to kill several American industries (especially TVs), the Toshiba-Kongsberg scandal. I'm not sure what South Korea did but I wouldn't trust them either given their number one trade partner is China and their current president is a commie loving faggot.
As for europeans. I wouldn't trust those dirty savages on anything. Their entire history since WW2 is hand wringing for more money, pulling the US into conflicts like Indochina, the ME, east europe, etc. and then turning around and stabbing us in the back and undermining our sanctions, year over year. The worst part is they then try to blame us for everything and go on about how they're saints who dindunuffin
No, media cried about that feeding fish yet their prime minister dumped the food first.
A reminder that he was annoyed that Americans and Japs had the same reaction to Lain.
If the US didn't nuked them I suppose the russians would invade north
Oh, i didn't even know what Akumetsu was, i will read it. I'm surprised, for the sinopse it looks like they talk about Japan zombie economy. But i would be more happy if it was the actual version of Japan and not an dystopian future.

I honestly don't give a shit about their war crimes but these fucking pussies still cry over being nuked when they were literally cartoon villains. Get over it! Japan after the US rebuilt it was a million times better than before
Yeah sort of now and again, but they're also the good guys. Well, "good guy" is a relative term in this instance, but you know what I mean. Lagoon Company is mostly US expats.
>pulling the US into conflicts like Indochina, the ME, east europe, etc.
Holy cope
You know what's better?
The South forms "The American Empire," i.e. the bad guy with the glasses in the GITS movie, SAC, and SAC 2nd Gig. The Northeast and California becomes the Amero-Soviet Union. The remaining Great Plains and Mountain states, i.e. Republican territory, remains the United States of America.
>>rapes and cannibalizes their way across asia and randomly bombs the US for not wanting to trade with psychopaths
But didn't every Imperial power do that back in the day to an extent?
It is contemporary (for the time) Japan. Our hero Akumetsu goes on to expose corrupt government officials and police people to the public before executing them.
That first-worlder mentality likely didn't exist among those that got nuked, asians historically have very pragmatic, borderline-ruthless ideals related to warfare. Even China's eternal nanking butthurt isn't at it's core a feeling of victimization, but rather a blood-feud rooted in hatred and vengeance that they exploit westerners' soft mentality to perpetuate. While nowadays it's considered a huge offense to attack civilians, historically peasants are considered the lowest of the disposable classes, with lives like grass.
Japan is overall favorable toward the US diplomatically and culturally. That doesn't mean they like everything the US does though. The only real negative perception of the US that exists in Japan is of our military, especially in places that host US troops, and among the nationalists in the country, but it's also not uncommon for people to see the US as something of a military bully.
Overall though I'd say even the US military is more liked than disliked in Japan, particularly from a policy perspective in the Diet. The US military's presence is a huge boon to the Japanese government, since they have a lot of worrisome neighbors like China and North Korea. The fact that Japan has neighbors like those goes a long way toward softening their ire at having to play host to US bases and troops. Also it saves the government a lot of money, since they don't have to go as hard on defense as long as US warships patrol the sea of Japan and US troops garrison their islands.
Even when the US military is the direct antagonist in Black Lagoon, they're not made out to be one note evil villains. And speaking of which, Black Lagoon is the only anime I can think of where an American protagonist fights and defeats a Japanese antagonist.
Youjo Senki
vinland saga
There's a love/hate relationship there. America is admired for its success and more open culture, but also somewhat distrusted because of that. There's also a fair bit of resentment at being so militarily tied to the US, a desire for a more independent Japan.
I mean that's kinda taken for granted.
Yes, including Japan.
>Even China's eternal nanking butthurt isn't at it's core a feeling of victimization
It's more of a performance than anything. They act like it's a big deal for political reasons, not because it's actually a tragedy they give a shit about. It's just one more thing to hold over the heads of the Japanese, just like the "century of humiliation" that China endured in the 19th and early 20th centuries at western hands, which they still reference when they talk about the US or other countries trying to interfere in their internal affairs.
The century of humiliation was something that crippled the old imperial government, something that was pretty essential for the communist revolution to happen at all, and the CCP itself regularly demonizes the old regime anyway, so it's not like they really care that they were badly humiliated by Europeans. It's just convenient for them to act like it offends their sovereign dignity because it gives them carta blanche to do whatever they want internally.
Worth noting that it's mainly only young people and nationalists who resent the US military presence, and those who actually live in proximity to US bases. Mainstream politics favors US occupation as a deterrent to regional conflict with NK and China, and also saving Japan money.
Animes tend to be parodies or exaggerations, so any opinon presented is probably just sterotypes.
Yeah but in Black Lagoon even the "good guys" are scum, so it's more morally gray antagonists vs morally gray protagonists.
So why single out Japan? I think it's horrible what they did but back then, most nations had Imperial ambitions that ruthlessly exploited the natives in their colonies.
They know the US is the source of evil.
It's actually a really interesting portrayal, because the American operator is shown to be a chivalrous guy despite being an NSA assassin, while most of the guys he's fighting against are ruthless mafia goons and ex-military thugs. Also Dutch himself is an American expat and one of the good guys.
What a chad
Two Nukes weren't enough.
Hah, I'd forgotten all about that guy.
>So why single out Japan?
Because they're the ones we were talking about in the first place. The other user was talking about how they play the victim when it's convenient when everybody was being scummy including them. I don't know if that's true, or if I agree with that oversimplified reasoning, but that's the premise we were working with.
Hitalia Axis Powers
Nice to see out of /m/. How about you stay here, and never go back to /m/?

Japan sided with Germany because the English and French had a ton of weakly defended colonies in asia that Japan wanted, Jews have nothing to do with it. Germans didn't even like Japs for the most part and helped the chinese against them during the invasion before ww2, and even while they were ""allies"" the Germs just thought they would go and do their own thing since Japan and the USSR had an NAP together.

Any sci-fi based on the real world, Japanese sci-fi writers are always nationalist boomers who are still butthurt about WW2.
Maybe if you stop spamming, they’ll stop deleting.
To be honest I disagree with the notion that they were allies to begin with. The real axis should be Germany, Italy, Hungary, and Romania honestly. Even Finland who later sided with the soviets was more of an ally than Japan.
honestly who doesn't
though i guess it's less pronounced than the days of yamato unabashedly being all about how japan dindu nuffin
Every war in US history was engineered by a US president intentionally provoking an attack to motivate congressional/popular support, and pearl harbor is no different. They were conscripting at peace for the only time in US history before the attack happened. Not saying the bombs weren't deserved, war is war, but it had nothing to do with pearl harbor or justice and anyone that think the US was "surprise attacked" is a gullible fucking retard and probably a boomer.
They're still butthurt about WW2 and still don't consider shit like the Rape of Nanking to have been morally incorrect. People hate on the Chinese these days, but the Japanese are and have always been far worse, they're just still under America's boot and unable to act out on their belligerent ambitions.
You've constructed a clever ruse here, but I see what's really going on. You just haven't watched any fucking anime, have you? There's a huge variety of takes on Japanese foreign relations throughout a plethora of works that you aren't taking into account at all.

Americans are regularly depicted as both villains and heroes. It's part of Japan's complicated history with the United States.
And yet many Japanese at the time considered it a wake up call to the militarism of Imperial Japan and pushed the embrace of pacifism.
Gulf War is fighting imperialism with imperialism and not a lot of good comes of it. But that's how alliances go. Korean War is kind of similar.
Afghanistan is a fuckup regardless of justification.
Spanish-American war was literally instigated over a lie.
The only modern-ish war I can think of where America was mostly good was WW2 where they were actually attacked by powers.
>Israel
>puppet state
wrong way around goy
America is the strongest country, so Japs beating America makes them rock hard.
>Teen Titans Go and not Teen Titans
Look up the Warsaw uprising and the post war purges not to mention the multiple invasions before that
That's why the USA pulled Israel's leash when they almost crossed the Suez to invade Egypt's core territory?
Not that I think the USA was wrong to do so. Zionism is cancerous.
the dominos in japan do
It's like when you get your ass kicked by your rival and you spend your recovery fantasizing about turning the table on them.
If Zion Don took the Jew cock out of his mouth and started acting like a nationalist I'd be happy, as if that'll ever happen...
Hmmmmmm
every war the us has fought in recent memory has been entirely to benefit israel at the cost of refugees to europe
America are the baddies in real life.
>best part of America not in song bcuz muh chillunz
No one is the bad guy in real life. You need to grow up.
>M-MUH REFUGEES
>MUHERICA
That's why Sarkozy wanted to kill Gadaffi even though he and Erdogan were the ones holding back most of the refugees? The French and the Brits led the way on the Lybian intervention and wanted Sarkozy's head on a plate. Now the EU is painting Erdogan as a madman who's trying to destroy Europe and in a few years they'll have him killed too. They promised him billions of euros in exchange for border control and instead they stiffed him on the bill after Turkey absorbed a few million refugees, now the Europeans pretend like they're the victims when they're scamming Turkey. Eurocucks are serial scumbags. Still waiting for those faggots to meet defense spending pledges btw. When they inevitably declare they must have Erdogan's head on a platter they'll come begging for America aid, again.
>oh just a few more years America please we can't afford it while we tax all of your major companies
>oh can we push it back another 4 years it's not a big deal
Personally I think it's time for the US to cut them off and fuck NATO.
Technically the same goes for Schwarzesmarken too, the GDR wasn't all that fond of the US

Redundant term. All states exist to serve their ruler's interests.

Far more people would be okay with american imperialism if it was actually american. This might come as a suprise but far more people dislike dishonesty and scheeming than aggression.

>To be fair OP, this country still denies the war crimes they committed during ww2
Indeed, America does deny the countless war crimes they committed, but not only during WW2. That's the reason not only Japan hates them, but pretty much every single country they have ever invaded.
I'm pretty sure they hate both equally.
everyone dislikes amerimutt
fucking shithole
They hate South Korea way more than America
Only Germans have been somewhat honest about warcrimes.
Lain is basically the ultimate pseud work. It means nothing, it says nothing but people who watch it (and the director) think it's some kind of brilliant commentary on... something. They just have no idea what because it's style over substance and ultra-pseud posturing.
Article 9 was one of the core elements of Japanese post-war policy. Yoshida Shigeru was fine with having no military since all the money that would've been spent on arming and keeping a military could instead be invested back into Japan itself. Japan's immense economic growth after World War II would've never been possible without it which is why Shigeru and other Japanese PMs were always so keen to maneuver out of any attempts to loosen or end it. This is also why Abe's attempts to get rid of it are dumb. Militaries are financial pits and Japan's not in any kind of economic position to have that monkey on their back.
Koreans hate literally everyone who isn't Korean.
And China. United States is neutral most of the time in their media but China is almost always a villain if they appear.

Seethe harder faggot
Their economy was shit before the war.
Check who are the "people" who are advocating for that.
Nope, try again. Imagine if Germany had a history of Prime Ministers who paid tribute to the Dirlewanger Brigade, that'd be fucked up. Nationalist Japs don't give a damn, though.

What's weird about that? Poland hates Russia which is why they suck US dick.
Japanese got reparations though after PH as did Jesuits get their Holocaust money and Red Indians get money for stolen lands only nggaz havent recieved dindonuffins from 400 yrs slavery
>to benefit israel
Iraq was about oil, not Israel. Libya was about oil and other African resources, not Israel. It's never just about Israel, Israel is just a strategic ally. Of course, America's allies always milk the U.S. for resources as much as they can. Oil is economic and military power. The sole reason Trump is able to hold power is because the U.S. has started to become self-sufficient with oil, and is thus reluctant to involve itself in the Middle East to the extent it used to. It's a lot more complicated, with lobby groups and pan-Arabism and such, but the central gist is always the economy.
Do humanity's gene pool a favor by eating shit and killing yourself, you greasy europoor shitstain
Japan dislikes anyone but Japan unless it serves their needs. They are totally xenophobists despite what their media portrays.
>Germany still asshurt 75 years later
LOL
Very boring villain
>Iraq was about oil
>Libya was about oil and other African resources
i meant the Japanese asset price bubble in the mid 80s till 91
Revy's Chinese-American and Benny's a New York Jew, too.
Then why would the US put a trade embargo on them?
Because they perceived them as a threat in the Pacific.

Based.
We're the reason you have anime. You're welcome.
Doubt, Japan is very loyal and close to the UN. I don't think there's any ill will against them except Alt-right wingers and conservatives who are tsundere to the UN.
Getting rid of Gadaffi was all about destroying his plans for a strong pan-African bank with a gold-based currency. America and Europe have a huge economic interest in exploiting African natural resources. It's pure neocolonial economics and geopolitics, not "DA JOOOOS."
It's okay, we're all little girls here.
Little girls who are drooling bimbos when it comes to geopolitics, apparently.
False.
>mutts claiming stuff as their own again
This is entirely correct.
The oil one, however, is entirely incorrect. Nobody but Israel profited from weakening Iraq and Syria.
>he's not an AmerCHAD
Heh your 3rd worlder opinion doesn't matter then.
Of course they do we rule them
They willingly kept the constitution after the occupation ended, and remain one of the few nations on earth committed to nonaggression
>mutt calling anyone 3rd world
Prove you aren't a 3rd worlder. You can't.
There positive and negative aspects to private organizations, but having insufficient checks and balances in place and giving them far too much power will not bode well.
Having too many rules and regulations would stifle growth and competition, having no regulations whatsoever would lead to the same outcome when monopolies are formed or private organizations collude to stifle competition.
Lobbying in the US is ridiculous.
Japan dislikes gaijins overall, they don´t hate america but they do hate trump like any social media does.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
For the most part, the federal government of America is the bad guy. Who funds coups, corrupt politicians, terrorists, goes to war on behalf of business interests and still occupies Japan as well as other countries? America.
>part of the former USSR
american education, everyone
Woodrow Wilson was worried about that because he didn't want to lose Southern support.
they were though, the soviet union extended all the way to East Germany at its height
None of them because Murica #1
>The oil one, however, is entirely incorrect. Nobody but Israel profited from weakening Iraq and Syria
I'll be honest, I haven't read up enough on that, the whole Middle East and oil situation is so fucking complicated compared to the Libyan "revolution." Oil trading, petrodollars, Russia, China, Israel, Ba'athists and Wahhabists and every fucking thing, it's a mess that I need to read more about... or not, since I have no actual involvement in any of it. Either way, I hear people blame far too many things on Jews when it's clear there are other forces involved. Which isn't to say I have much sympathy for hardcore Zionism.
Abe seems pretty committed to having Japan build a proper standing army and taking "a more active role in the region."
>Japan dislikes gaijins overall
Not really. Japan love those gaijins without any problems.
the unfunny thing in GATE, is how American really want save the Otherworld of the japanese neo-imperialism.
Welcome to POL , fellas
the whole "da joos" thing has merit, you can clearly see their lobbying efforts and how American actions in the middle east would benefit both the state of isreal in breaking up powerful neighboors and the large jewish bankers/shareholders involved in the business interests rely on the petrodollar as the basis of our banking system. Not everything however, is the fault of jews, despite a lot being so, like the whole heroin subplot of the invasion of afgan/iraq, it was poorly written and wasn't even good for filler.
Wow Isreal really likes America
(((who))) benefits from not allowing non jewish banks especially those with gold backed currency?
It worked with the germans
Franky is pretty based though.
I wonder why?
>you can clearly see their lobbying efforts
That's true.
>how American actions in the middle east would benefit both the state of isreal in breaking up powerful neighboors and the large jewish bankers/shareholders involved in the business interests rely on the petrodollar as the basis of our banking system
Which in no way proves the wars are for Israel. America's economy still hinges on them, with or without Jews in the equation. That's why the two nations are important strategic allies, because they have shared interests. People who blame the Jews like to focus on Israel's interests and forget the U.S. also have huge interests there. Of course, now the U.S. is becoming less reliant on Arab oil for its industry, so we'll see how things develop from here.
I wonder why
Naruto was meant to be like a white American boy and he impregnated the Japanese waifu does that count?
>JEWISH BANKERS BENEFIT
>let's just forget the other huge industries that exploit African resources, they don't exist since THERE ARE ALSO JEWS BENEFITING
Shit mate, there are other factors at work here than just your object of obsession.
Yuri on Ice
Lain has nice visuals and interesting concepts about the internet but yeah, a lot of it is just posturing and trying to look smart.
Yes non-jews are drawn to gold backed currency. Just schizo things.
I always thought Japs kind of admire Americans brashness.
Is it true he wanted to just nuke the fuck outta Korea and be done with it?
>America's economy still hinges on them
which is the part I will defend against, we are already the primary exporter of oil and natural gas, had the ability but were outsold by cheap oil form the ME, and have that under our thumb post invasion as we got rid of the strongmen in those nations and defacto took it for ourselves.
We have no real strategic interest in isreal beyond boomers that think jews are the best thing since sunshine, the straight that we rely on for trade is under a different power then isreal. couple that with the fact that isreal is a huge economic burden on the US with all the aid we give them, and that many US states and the federal gov are making dissent against isreal an actual crime in journalistic and academic circles and you can start to see why its easy to believe that those wars and economic sanctions were for the benefit of "da joos". Since that is where all the money and power would flow
Anime Meato was 100% perfection.
>Israel that Israel there
Nations who benefit the most from proxy wars in Middle East are non-other than rich Gulf-Arab countries.
Oil and gas prices hike everytime that there is a war in Middle East.
Macarthur was actually that cool though
>NO YOU JUST NEED TO WATCH IT 50 TIMES FOR IT TO MAKE SENSE!!!!
Lain is cool and all but it's fanbase has the biggest amount of dick sucking fart sniffers the world knows. The animation, sound direction, and shit are great the "2deep4u" meaning is literally the dumbest highschool level shit out there
Yep especially the Saudis.
>good fucking morning
We miss you, Rich.
The Saudi family needs to be ousted before any sort of lasting peace in the middle east. Israel just needs to reform.
>how to tell when someone is mad
>We have no real strategic interest in isreal beyond boomers that think jews are the best thing since sunshine
Pan-Arabism was a huge threat to American and European interests in the region, and Israel was and is vital in keeping the region divided. The money pumped into Israel definitely has to do with Israeli lobbying, and America does have a history of being exploited by its allies.
>we are already the primary exporter of oil and natural gas
That's a very recent development, and also why I said
>now the U.S. is becoming less reliant on Arab oil for its industry, so we'll see how things develop from here
And if you acknowledge that non-Jewish America had huge interests in the region until recently, why blame Jews so disproportionately? Of course they want the U.S. to keep supporting them, but... shit, as I said, we'll see how things turn out from here on. I personally suspect (no more than that) that Trump is trying to appease Israel and its lobbyists by weakening Iran so that the U.S. can become less involved with the region now that there's less economic interest in doing so.
It also depends on how frightened other American politicians and interests are of the idea of a Middle East that is given a chance to unify and build up strength without America interefering.
Europe is of course not self-sufficient with energy and that's of course the Russian interest in seeing America remove itself from the ME, to see NATO and the EU weaken.
Fucking clusterfuck is fucked up.
Philippines is still pro-America in general, only Duterte hates America and loves China. Once he's gone things should be back to normal since even the military mostly still supports the US.
Some clearly do. That crazy yankee shit is used as a positive or endearing character trait at least as often as it's used as a negative abrasive one.
Nah, I like Lain but the fanbase and mentality around it drives me up a wall.
Where did this garbage come from? Yas Forums?
lmao
Oh, it's right in the OP.
Mod this belong on Yas Forums or /bant/.
Move it again.
