Backlash Builds Against US Copyright Blacklist
An anonymous reader writes "The release last week of the US copyright blacklist is beginning to generate a backlash in countries around the world. Reports from Canada, Europe, and Asia all note that the US claims are very suspect and that the report is little more than an attempt to bully dozens of countries into following the US DMCA model."
The world is obviously growing tired of a noisy, broke, bullying USSA as it vacilates choosing between a Nazi America and a Soviet America, hellbent on "decarbonizing" an already cooling planet and charging for every thought or memory.
Air superiority. That's what would happen.
The concept was developed in WW1 and perfected in WW2/korea/vietnam. If you've never heard of it, open up the history books to the pages where Europe, Russia, and Japan fail miserably.
What's funny to me though, is that I actually WISH Europe would tell the US to fuck off. We fucking hate Europeans and their socialism and communism with a passion that they seem to have forgotten about. I would LOVE the opportunity for our military to teach you about air superiority first hand!
Yes, I hear that air superiority went quite well for you at Pearl Harbour in World War II and in Vietnam where you were sent running with your tail between your legs after suffering thousands of casualties. Very successful in Korea too I notice, I mean, North Korea is a nice friendly nation now thanks to America's success their right? What about Somalia too in the 90s, that went really well right? Or wait, you were sent running their too.
How's that air superiority going in Afghanistan and Iraq by the way where your soldiers get slaughtered by men in cloth dresses with rifles that are about 35 years old and about as accurate as a blind man with a water pistol? I hear your air superiority worked great over New York on 9/11 also!
It's funny, because when it comes to wars, the US hasn't really actually won that many in the last century. About all it's won was the Pacific campaign of World War II but even that was only because the Russians covered it's arse in defeating Germany and because it had vast amounts of allied support to the West of Japan in China and from the South from Australia etc.
In fact, what wars has the US won by itself in the last century? I'm not sure it's actually won any, even in the first Iraq war it needed massive amounts of allied support. That's a stark contrast to European nations like say, Britain that unilaterally sent the Argentinians running back home in the Falklands for example.
The US has far and away the biggest military in the world, but it can't win wars because it doesn't have a single general capable of anything loosely resembling tactics and because it's soldiers can't fight for shit. That's before you even get started on their poor engineering abilities in the field and their inability to win the required hearts and minds of the civilian population which has time and time again left them running from the battlefield with many dead and their tails between their legs.
The problem is, the only thing Americans ever manage to actually shoot are each other or their allies.
Yea you are definitely right. When we go to war with canada we should just drop a couple of nukes.
Yea . ask the japanese. I think they still remember how pearl harbor ended up in the end, with two big cities melting under nuclear fire.
Subject just about covers it. USA. That land that spews its propaganda far and wide; yet, when it comes to roost, you, the "Average American" just wimps out.
And, its NOT American, you bitch. USAian, or something. Please don't tarnish Mexico and Canada and the whole of South America.
Take some pride in your country. Or just be a whiny little bitch. Your choice.
