First: The commander-in-chief doesn’t control the military?

Only with unilateral approval from Congress.

The President doesn’t control the military

Insecurity, yeah, I agree with that. With a close tie with Russia. Though it’s hard to tell the difference now.

China produces the most. However the US produces more per capita. The US doesn’t produce the most per capita tho. Should we blame little ol’ Palau?

The irony of your comment is lost on you, and your country paid the price. You’d think that’d wake you up that you were a vocal minority all along.

But no. Even when all of these hidden trump supporters, who were fully masked, finally come out en masse to explain that they voted for him because of this safe-space echo-chamber attitude you guys adopt–You double down, even on foreigners like myself, who have no stake in any of this. Perhaps your country will improve when you start uniting instead of dividing.

Can you give me a more neutral source?

How? Why?

It’s americans, they’re always so dramatic. Best just ignore em

I’d say either way it the climate fucks everyone other. Democrats didn’t care for climate change except for virtue signalling, they wouldn’t have done anything, they prefer the status quo instead of acting as opposition. Probably what made them lose. And there’s also Musk, who makes a business from renewable energy, again though, that’s just virtue signalling. Business will probably thrive, honestly, more chance to exploit the working class. Ukraine will be fine, they’re supported by Europe and it’s against the US’s interests to let Europe be independent. Palestine is indeed fucked though, Iran too.

But I’m a goat, I don’t know much except for salt.

Saying that the world is diverse, huge and isn’t primarily affected by US elections is immature? Explain

Did you read Marxism in a fucking tiktok? what nonsense.

Oh yeah? How’s it gonna affect everyone? 2016 sure didn’t

oh nooo, not reddit downvotes, anything but those, I’m ruined!

Never mind the fact that Lemmy is predominantly american and that instances outside of the US haven’t gotten downvoted for also not caring. I’m trying to say is that Americans downvoted me, and those who are not American upvoted me. Still–Don’t care

You can’t blame climate change on just one nation. That’s impossible.

I care a lot about geopolitics. That’s what I’m saying. Geopolitically, the rest of the world is unaffected except for entertainment and popcorn.

I’m not saying they aren’t powerful, just pointing out that the world isn’t very much affected by elections.

Trump doesn’t control the military, and there’s big money to be made in war. Currently, arms manufacturers are some of the most profitable companies. Why stop that revenue? Most likely, if the US ever stops funding Ukraine, then Europe will fund Ukraine and turn more independent and away from relying on the US for defence. Why would the US want an independent Europe?

Or maybe it’s just a masterplan from Putin, who somehow, has also convinced the generals to go along with this.

If anything, I’d be more concerned about Israel and the Middle East. It’s hard to believe that right now, Israel is holding back. Watch this space, you know?

Nuclear energy is a scam devised by mining companies and fossil fuels. That’s not to say it’s not green or not effective. But it takes almost a decade to get a single plant running efficiently and there are multiple risks involved in its operation.

Renewable energy on the other hand is so compact and efficient you can have it on roads, or on your house, or backyard, or really wherever there’s sun and wind. You can be independent with renewable energy, literally go off the grid.

Okay, what have the US Democrats done to prevent emissions? Since from my I’ve seen, they didn’t do a whole lot. Nor were they running on promises to help prevent climate change.

I believe it from experience. My country was unaffected by 2016. Same with my neighbouring countries. Nothing dramatic or drastic occurred.

2020 was the same.

This will also be the same.

Most countries are unaffected by other countries’ elections.

Short-sighted? Please. Nothing major changed in the world from 2016. There was Korea, and… That’s bout it. Geopolitically.

Except the US won’t do anything to solve their part of climate change, and the change in leadership will not affect their inaction. I think the best bet for solving climate change is a shift to renewable energy and laws and standards for AI and bot use.

Every country also contributes to climate change. It’s not exactly an issue where you can put sole blame on someone. China for instance, emits the most CO2, but not by per capita, and also because they handle the world’s manufacturing and emissions. The Middle East, Oceania and countries below the equator all contribute more than their share of emissions… But that’s also because they’re in a hotter, drier climate.
