Canada - Ontario ( most populous province) - ends contract with Starlink and refuses to sell US alcohol ( 1 billion $/ year). I know a lot of Canadians and they are stopping US subscriptions everywhere.

Things are changing fast.

Remember that white european imperial powers + NATO are not the global majority HN challenge [impossible, apparently]

At this point, basic facts no one disputes in other contexts are furiously downvoted when it inconveniences an increasingly authoritarian and racialized europe.

Hello, you seem to have been in a long coma, but welcome back from 1930. The thing about today is that former European imperial powers have ceded their colonies to the people living there.

How did those military bases get there? And how did they remain? You are either very ignorant or you are intentionally mendacious to avoid the obvious reality that your prosperity and their poverty are deeply connected.

You’ve got it wrong there. All our prosperities around the globe are very much connected, which is why having a vindictive zero-sum mindset in the White House causes so many problems around the world as we are seeing.

Also, do you really not see how you prove yourself wrong when the only remnants of colonial times you can find are a few french military bases that are even being withdrawn from right this moment?
