      We are paying three dollars more per gallon here in Germany because of the stupid war your country started in Iran, while you are largely unaffected yourself because of your own oil production

        America just cares about it’s own interests, and every time I see a country work with them, I’m just waiting for the betrayal to come.

        The world is still stupid though and believes that Trump is an idiot, despite him accomplishing his every goal. This place is funny because there are a lot of people here unable to think strategically. They think conflicts between countries are accidents and nobody stands to gain anything. :)

        Largely unaffected? Our prices have soared since the war in Iran. Our prices were substantially lower before Iran because of our local oil production but it’s very clear to most Americans that our fossil fuel consumption is largely supplemented but foreign oil. And we are seeing the result at the pump. Sorry you’re paying even more but you were paying more than us before too.

          You’re still paying less than many of us were paying before, man the fuck up and stop complaining. Literally living in one of the most privileged countries in the world.

            Oh man things in different places have different prices and levels of accessibility? I am so privileged I should never ever complain! What I’m fucking saying, you shit brain, is that we are also impacted and saying otherwise is disinformation meant entirely to shit on the USA. We hate ourselves enough without you.

            Yes I can cus at random people on the internet to escalate unnecessarily just like you! Flavor words to sprinkle across any sentence.
