A View from the Outside

SW is a US based operation. So its only reasonable that the American perspective is heavily represented. But when you cut to the chase, Americans represent less than 5% of the worlds people. Certainly the most morbidly obese, (and seemingly proud of it) well armed and self congratulating 5%.. But still only 5%. So I think its only fair that Americans get get a view of how others from the outside see them and their views on current events withing America, as seem from outside. Even Americans admit how poorly news and current events are being reported within America. So think of it as my "Public Service"
Lets start with this:
A few thousand National guardsmen and several hundred Marines march into Los Angeles uninvited by the state (due process ignored) and unwanted by the governor. Now from an outside perspective, should they be there? But skipping over that.. It would seem that the federal authorities have put "the right people" in place of the military and the national guard to have those orders followed without anyone questioning if the orders were indeed legal. So if any state now does something Donald objects to, he can put down the "insurrection" using the military, whether it is legal or not and the state can do nothing about it..
Thats how it looks from here..😷

They voted for it. But then, Trump is only using this power in blue cities and states. Everywhere else will be exempt

@Hopelandia Not that I want to make the comparison. But Hitler Annexed Austria in a similar fashion..😷

@Thinkerbell I didnt say it was the same thing. I said it was done in a similar manner. The Germans came through the border on a pretext without being invited..As I remember, that didnt end well. Unless you were in the Sound of Music.. My point was that people are now in place who will not refuse an order from Trump, just because it is illegal or unconstitutional..😷
