Allies like it when their allies suffer? That reminds me of Maranatha's post. Not really 'allies' if they desire suffering of their allies.Last edited by Starlight; 09-17-2020, 04:51 AM."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

P.S. possibly worth noting that Trump supporter saying US allies should suffer probably won't endear Trump and his supporters to anyone in US allied nations who was on the fence. If you do actually want us to suffer then it becomes kinda difficult to even class you as an 'ally'.
World Citizen Dingbats: "We hate the US because orange man bad!"
I do believe this is the level of analysis most lefties are capable of, sound and fury, with a little crying.

So now that the US has the highest death toll in the world due to Covid, and you've got unemployment at record levels, and GDP dropping by record levels, and riots in the streets...
...your own theory would predict your allies ought to love you cos you're down.
Except, the data shows your allies dislike you at record levels.
Seems your theory is the exact opposite of true, the way all your other posts have a tendency to be.Last edited by Starlight; 09-17-2020, 06:34 AM."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

And you want me to let that sink in. It's sunk, and it's clear, it tells me our "allies" should suffer for their irrational hate.Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

It's all about maneuvering.
Besides the US has to deal with irrational actors, like Germany. Totally stiffleled by their irrational fear of Russia. That's why they rely on Russia for energy, fear.

I said that, like you, they blame Trump. They've been told that in some strange way Trump is somehow responsible for the Chicom coronavirus. Since they blame Trump, who represents the U.S., they aren't going to be very sympathetic toward our plight. The fact that they are experiencing another wave after pompously snorting at derision at the U.S. also means they have their own problems to worry about and not much time to spend worrying about other people's problems.
