    Well as s non american I feel it’s quite simple : the USA has an incredible potent war machine, so if their citizens think they have an incredible army, then they are more or less quite correct.

    Russians on the other hand just smokes copium and have fever dreams.

      It’s true for military stuff but false for many many things that they’d still insist is the best way to handle things. Mass shootings is an anomaly that’s completely normalized there, sometimes it’s not even worth a media footnote.

      And there’s a strange thing about shooting presidents every once in a while
