Not that special, unfortunately.

Not Western Europe. Europe as a whole and its colonial projects around the globe which murdered their way to being majority “White.” The West.

No one is going to attack North Korea and despite promising to do so every minute of every day for the last few decades North Korea isn’t going to attack anyone. Russia on the other hand is a typical warmongering western imperial power squabbling with the other warmongering western imperial powers like always, so they will be having wars to spare for as long as there is a Russian Federation. I guess NK trading a few million extra mouths to feed for whatever Russia can spare economically could benefit the leadership of both countries.

If only we saw this coming!

Now when this obviously absurd deal is rejected there will be another claim from the Likuds that Palestinians in general are impossible to negotiate with which will make total sense to anyone working backward from the conclusion that the secular state of Israel would never lie and can do no wrong.

I grew up in a red state. I recall that attempting to understand why the enemy attacked us was seen as being sympathetic to the enemy which was a traitorous position to take. Trying to explain the context of why we were attacked even in a conversation about how to most effectively defend ourselves was typically met with indignant anger. The only acceptable response to the attack was total annihilation of the enemy. I heard “glass them over” more times than I can count. The actual military response was seen as a merciful compromise where I’m from.
