      Yup. Do that and you can make an alternative App store for Iphones, give a 90% discount, eat Apples lunch, and still make 30 Billion.

        Yes, and I’m sure you know this, but it generally hurts both countries equally or close to it, and therefore that is a dumb as fuck way to punish countries for not supporting your modern Monroe Doctrine

    No one can escape punishment from a mentally deranged felon. He even murdered his closest friend over some files, so take that as you will.

        No kidding. The US was never “great” and I say that as an American. This country has sucked for my entire life and it’s only now that a lot of Americans are finally waking up to that reality.

        I was. You can’t conflate what politicians do and what the government does as “this is what the country is all about”. There are plenty of reasons to be proud of your country. The reason I am no longer proud is just the sheer amount of stupidity in people these days. It really feels like we are going backwards.

        But here’s the thing, America isn’t the only country going backwards.

      I don’t want to be American. At least, not for THIS America. Hopefully, the Blue States will break off from Dogey America and proceed to curbstomp the fuckers into oblivion.
