@Mango_Builds@NAFOfrumzl So, basically, we feel kicked in the teeth when we thought we were friends. Still, when you visit, I'm 200% sure you'll be treated with nothing but kindness, just don't wear a red hat. ;-)
@Mango_Builds@NAFOfrumzl The NL gave the USA use of land for free in perpetuity for military cemetaries. Dutch volunteers maintain the graves. Trump ordered the removal of plaques honoring black soldiers. These are soldiers that died for us, we take that shit seriously.
@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 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.
