    Wow 46% of Europeans have briefly paid attention to anything America has done in a foreign country for the last 70 years.

    As Henry Kissinger so honestly put it: “It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.”

      No one knows about that. It’s all “not conclusive”. Even linking the WaPo isn’t enough to sway what people hear from everywhere else.

        Just because Joe Biden explicitly said he wanted to blow it up a year prior, just because there was a US naval vessel right in the immediate area shortly before it occurred, and just because the US has profited immensely from it while also giving Russia the bird does not mean the US did it sweaty

        Last I saw they were blaming it on rogue Ukrainian elements (do not ask where they got the equipment, training, or why there was a NATO naval exercise practically right on top of the pipeline).

    NATO was designed to keep the Soviet Union (now Russia) down, Germany out, and the US on top.

      Europeans are just USians with healthcare (for now) and a couple more remaining unions.

    Still (just) under half. Good that they’re learning, but I wonder how many would want to leave NATO (or other military treaties)?

    The USA loves a war, and makes a fuck load of money off one. I doubt it.

      I expect US will be focusing on trying to start a war with China. The whole point of this war was to try and break Russia before taking on China, now that the war has run its course, US will move on and leave Europe holding the bag.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
