Trump's complete destruction of the US's international authority and image

[tabibito]

It might be easier to list out things he is correct on...

Anyway, even his blame for the Treaty of Versailles being the primary cause of WWll can't be fully blamed on the causes of WWll since France had the Treaty of Frankfurt some 40 years before. In truth, the failure to enforce the Treaty of Versailles was a much bigger cause of WWll since Germany was pretty much allowed to ignore it since the allies didn't want another war. Likewise, Japan and Italy had no such Treaty in place and they both managed to join the axis powers.

The victors write the history books. At the conclusion of WWII, America claimed that the Japan/America war was a separate action to the war in Europe. Now America and allies raise objections to Japan continuing that same claim.

I think it depends on how you look at it. Personally, I can see it both ways. The causes of Europe and Asia are different and even preventing the rise of Hitler wouldn't do much for preventing the Pacific War from happening. Although I do think Japan might have thought twice before invading French, Dutch, and British colonies since Germany wouldn't be able to distract them as it happened during WWll. Really it's difficult to say how things would have gone and the two theaters did influence the other. Japan might have never started things up in the pacific and the US might have stayed out of the war in Europe without Japan's Pearl Harbor attack.

Today in The World Laughs At Trump, we have video of the Australian Prime Minister making jokes about Trump by speaking Trump-ese at a charity dinner:

"[When I met Trump] It was beautiful. It was the most beautiful putting-me-at-ease ever...

The Donald and I, we are winning, and winning, in the polls [current polling is terrible for both the Aussie PM and Trump].

We are winning so much! We are winning like we have never won before.

We are winning in the polls. We are! Not the fake polls. Not the fake polls! They're the ones we're not winning in.

We're winning in the real polls. You know, the online polls. They are so easy to win!

I know that. Did you know that? I kind of know that.

They are so easy to win! I have this Russian guy.

Believe me, it's true! It is true!"

Trump is an international joke, it must be so embarrassing to be an American.

Trump is an international joke, it must be so embarrassing to be an American.

Well it is in general, but even more now than usual.

Previously Americans were just the fat tourists in restaurants who didn't know how to talk with an indoor voice, had a nasty sounding accent, and are overly opinionated and complain loudly when things aren't the way they're used to, and to whom subtlety is a foreign concept and so miss the approximately one million hints everyone is giving them that their behavior is inappropriate, and whom everyone else just ends up rolling their eyes at and tolerating grudgingly out of politeness and embarrassment for them.

Now there's Trump and the Republicans. And it's even worse than it was under Bush. They might as well rename the country Trumpistan since most of the West now treats America with the level of disdain usually reserved for countries that end in -stan.

The Second Sino-Japanese War would have taken place regardless of whether there was conflict in Europe since it started two years before Germany invaded Poland. How far it would have expanded from there is anyone's guess.

That's why we have more people desperate to come here and be one of us than any other nation

Previously Americans were just the fat tourists in restaurants who didn't know how to talk with an indoor voice,

You've obviously never seen a drunk Dane in a pub in Denmark...

had a nasty sounding accent,

That's rich! The Kiwi accent is annoying as all get out. It sounds like you all are choking on your words half the time.

and are overly opinionated and complain loudly when things aren't the way they're used to,

YOU calling someone overly opinionated is the ultimate form of irony...

The best tourists in the world are the Japanese, followed by Americans and the Swiss, a survey based on views from hoteliers across Europe said Wednesday.

Two reports released at the Education New Zealand conference this week showed the country still had work to do to impress international students.

Chinese and Vietnamese students who were asked about their perceptions of New Zealand as a study destination said the country was boring and old-fashioned.

One Vietnamese student studying in Australia said he might change his mind about New Zealand if it "sounded like more fun".

"Parents send their kids there as punishment, to isolate them or if they have been bad," the student said.

"I would die of boredom there."

Another Chinese student studying in Auckland said the country was boring and all the shops closed at 5pm.

"Once we walked down the street with our eyes closed and didn't bump into one single person."

Students also said it was hard to make friends with Kiwis, and the country was not "Asian-friendly".

Man, I'm getting tired of being right at your expense...

Now there's Trump and the Republicans. And it's even worse than it was under Bush. They might as well rename the country Trumpistan since most of the West now treats America with the level of disdain usually reserved for countries that end in -stan.

Oh the horror! Libtards in foreign countries make fun of the US...

[Starlight]

Man, I'm getting tired of being right at your expense...

Like Trump, you're getting tired of so much 'winning'. Oh wait, that's not winning...

[TheWall]

Everyone I met in Ireland and Canada complemented me and my grandparents for our Texas hospitality, curiosity, friendship, and fascination by malt vinegar, poutine, and kinder eggs. Whyou pin all boorish Ness on Americans? Boorish Ness is not confined to nationality.

[TheWall]

And...
- Korean War
- Vietnam War
- Bay of Pigs

And currently experiencing various levels of fail against:
- Afghanistan
- ISIS

South Korea partially exist because we helped them fight.

Hey, I resemble that remark! But really, a majority of us are embarrassed, the other 37% or so, including Trump, are embarrassing

[Darth Executor]

since most of the West now treats America with the level of disdain usually reserved for countries that end in -stan.

Does that mean you're gonna start inviting Americans to rape your schoolgirls and cover up for them?

You mean 50% don't you? The latest tracking poll shows that Trump's approval rate is at 50%.

Which is pretty amazing given relentlessly negative coverage and the own goals he keeps scoring.
