eau de sauvage

Eegore, er you *are* trolling, because you know full well, that the US has dragged Australia into more than one war. That's just one point. Australia is very closely aligned with the US and decision they make directly affect they sycophants in this country. When Trump empowers some of the most dangerous authoritarian leaders in the world, he makes the world more dangerous for everyone.
We now live in a global village, which is ironic as the US is now pushing a nationalist agenda. To feign surprise that the world pays attention to nutty things the US does is disingenuous. Remember that it was the US who pushed for the invasion of Iraq, a decision that was not really theirs to call, but call it they did and the world is not a more dangerous place for everyone.
What is the point of this thread I started, why is cornflakes relevant to me. Well I hoped it would be obvious but I'm going to explain anyway. The quote is just another example that the leader of the currently most powerful nation on Earth, is as has been pointed out continuously, 'unhinged'.
But for me personally the most damaging aspect of Trump's chaotic and weird presidency is his misogyny, which is exactly the root cause of all the world's problems. Note how few women post on these boards. This is a microcosm of the larger world. The disenfranchisement of women. In politics and in life. So we now have the ludicrous situation where three people come into this thread who are not the usual suspects specifically to call me out on my 'interest' in 'your' country.
And I will note Eegore, that you also came in to a thread of mine some time ago to complain that I start too many threads for you to be able to put your valuable time into answering them. Which again was just you trolling while pretending that you were not trolling, as you have no qualm with endless bullsh!t threads started by you know who.
Also these are only reports from your own newspapers and these newspapers seek an international audience because once again I say the world is now a global village. As an example that comes to mind, the recent relocation of the US consulate to Jerusalem, has caused a bit of a kerfuffle between Indonesia and Australia.
Then there's the defence agreements, and the visa reciprocity where Australia enjoys special status with the US, that apparently the Irish are now trying to muscle their way into.
Far more curious to me is why this particular forum as opposed to any other forum that I would participate in allows, and has allowed and will continue to allow personal attacks as a normal part of the forum. I find that very strange especially considering this is a biking forum.
But if you three would like me to fcuk off the forum then I'm happy to do that.
One more thought on this,
The US has spend decades claiming to be the moral voice of the world, claiming to be the beacon of democracy, claiming to be the World's police. The leaders of free trade the antithesis of authoritarian regimes, the builder of alliances, and now you have elected a leader who abrogates all of this and you think it's no concern of the rest of the world? What are you going to do when Trump is gone, is the US going to say 'you can trust us again'. It will take decades to regain that trust, it won't all go back to normal when Trump is gone.
You voice concerns about a women's right to choose, but you allow a corrupt GOP to stack the courts for decades to come. In many ways the US is displaying the very traits of the country's that it has so long denigrated.
