@Mango_Builds@NAFOfrumzl Operation Iraqi freedom, Afghanistan... The current war, the EU didn't join, but all the others... Would you send troops for a president who first shat on your veterans/kia?
@Mango_Builds@NAFOfrumzl Tariffs, dishonor to war dead, the removal of plaques at military cemetaries, etc. US citizens get preferable visa treatment, we provided our full suport the one time article 5 was invoked on your behalf, and the clown said they 'hung back'. It pisses people off. Wouldn't you be?
@Mango_Builds@NAFOfrumzl No, most people actually agree we should start carrying our own weight. Careful what you wish for, though, because this also means most procurement goes to European manufacturers, and some states are pretty much floating on those military orders.
@Mango_Builds@NAFOfrumzl Many Europeans died alongside US soldiers in Iraq, for example. For Trump to spit on their graves, it pissed people off. But we don't hate the US. To the contrary; we always thought we were good buddies until this stuff happened.
@Mango_Builds@NAFOfrumzl I troll people who are asking for it. We're very simmilar, but also very different. And, as a Caribbean lad, well... mostly I'm like... popcorn. But don't underestimate how over the USA Europeans are right now. They feel betrayed, as good allies and suddenly; tariffs...
@Mango_Builds@NAFOfrumzl This area, and the NL in general, doesn't have the topography for large farms. Too much stuff in the way to have big fields. It's mostly highly industrialized greenhouses and small family farms. Small diverse plots.
@Mango_Builds@NAFOfrumzl My area is considered rural. I have five major supermarket chains within a 5 minute walk. I prefer the 15 minute drive to Germany, though. Lower sales tax. Better food. You seriously don't want to visit the Netherlands for the food. Their idea of a meal is kale in mashed potatoes
@CallItMedusa@AlexLi98 People who go out of their way to get trolled by Europeans by posting cope ending in 'European minds can't' rarely know sweet fuck all about Europe. Fox told them we can't own scary things and they roll with it.
@Mango_Builds@NAFOfrumzl I'll try that. Just had a bout of bird flu, chicken is still a bit up there in price, but I have a chicken farm with free-range chickens 10 minutes from here.
@Mango_Builds@NAFOfrumzl One of the Nordic countries, I believe it was. Not the NL, they do herring. Good in its own right, IF you get it from a good place, tourist traps are usually pretty mid.
