Pour one out for America and Ukraine, and the Middle East in general. And Taiwan.

Europe and Asia, you guys better get your shit together, we might be out of this one permanently. Or we might have a very long recovery time spanning decades. Such fucking bullshit.

I know Americans get upset when I say this to them but honestly, I think it's the time the United States broke up, it's too big, it's too powerful, and as soon as someone like him gets in charge everything goes to shit.

If the United States was smaller it wouldn't matter as much if a random dictator got in charge of a small bit of it.

As an American, I'm in agreement with that in concept. Partition would be a harrowing process though, as people scramble to go where they feel they belong. I'm not sure such a process could happen without another civil war.

Czechs and Slovaks managed to do it in a civilised manner only 30 years ago, so it's not impossible.

You're either being sarcastic or you don't live in the U.S. I'm currently living in Louisiana, and I'm surrounded by racist idiots.

What’s their landmass in comparison to the US?
