Demockracy which you Americans (not unllike the British) push your agenda on countries which are Sovereign nations. IS it any wonder why the Eastern world hate you.
Here in France we have hundreds of Americans making their homes here.......but what they do. is come here with money/buy up real estate to make money.
They do NOT advertise on French websites/no they go to the USA/UK
The French are finding it difficult to buy into the market.....owned by the USA
JennyStokes, you are not alone, we first perfected it at home. Popular spots like Hawaii overrun and locals outpriced by the rich. Now people can't afford homes bought up by private equity. They're losing on commercial property though. Next bank bailout predicted and who will they save again? The banks, the investors (the campaign donors) not the people. See economist Michael Hudson. About Ukraine too, https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2023/01/25/ukraines-zelensky-thanks-us-corporations-big-business/
Yes, my meaning was that when you say rich Americans are buying up French properties, that's what rich Americans did in the US too - bought lots of land like in Hawaii and raised prices so the land was snatched from local Hawaiians. So they no longer owned it and even if available they couldn't afford the inflated prices. Ukraine is another example, help them 'recover' by privatizing and selling off the land to US investors/private equity for gain.
Ukraine’s Zelensky sends love letter to US corporations, promising ‘big business’ for Wall Street
In pairs, in parties, whatever group but ultimately individually, one vote. Time for Americans to decide on PEACE and LAW or domestic and international corruption. We can't call ourselves a nation of laws yet not be law abiding. Duh.
Maybe I should have said 'criminality.' I meant breaking international laws. Far beyond supporting Israel. Illegal sanctions, Nato aggression and geographic spread nothing like its charter. Assassinations, attempted assassinations. Propaganda and attempted regime changes. Georgia, Haiti, Cuba, etc. One current example Maduro and the Venezuelan election he won Sunday that the US/west demonizes.
What about France and other European governments - why do they bankrupt themselves for the USA so far away compared to their more natural trading partner neighbors? If European countries made decisions to benefit themselves (IMO), wouldn't that help teach the USA a lesson in geopolitical economic diplomacy and reduce its aggressive impact?
Good question. I have NO idea what Europe thinks it's doing BUT there might be a small glimmer of hope with Orban and Fico getting restless and Italy is Not happy with the EU.
Thank you! for confirming generally what I see from the UK/European/eastern news I follow. Our mainstream news I think is pretty ignorant and petty, filled with election gossip and our-haloes-their-pitchforks, so clearly adolescent. And projection! That 'UNPROVOKED' was a blazing signal pointing back to Nato's pushing east and playing innocent. I'm using some of my time to TRY to catch up with history. Currently tangled in complex west Asia weavings of Jacques Baud's Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
Hard to credit our smug self-satisfaction. Years ago I used to pester an Irish friend with the question, what does the rest of the world think of us . . . she always avoided answering. Well no more need to ask.
As you point out, the strategy works. Perhaps the branding is the problem. Balanced Rebellion might have a better ring to it, garner more interest, be a bit intriguing, over VotePact, which may lack some or all of these important aspects. Just sayin.

Hello pr and thanks for your comment.
BUT I am talking about different countries.
Hawaii is part of the USA?
Yes, my meaning was that when you say rich Americans are buying up French properties, that's what rich Americans did in the US too - bought lots of land like in Hawaii and raised prices so the land was snatched from local Hawaiians. So they no longer owned it and even if available they couldn't afford the inflated prices.

Yes this is obvious.
All one has to look at is the Supreme Court of the USA.
Bought and sold by AIPAC
What do you mean by "International corruption?" Are you talking about the Zionist state of Israel if so say so.

JennyStokes, your thoughts on this?
EU Irrelevance: Security Dependence, Economic Decline & Political Subordination | Prof. Glenn Diesen
https://youtu.be/KN4B6mVHUS0?feature=shared
EU is becoming irrelevant slowly.
Orban and Fico are angry and Italy is looking for new ways.
As for France we are waiting to see what the left coalition does.
Everything seem sto be on hold for the Olympics.
